Addition: Food advice, alternatives to sold out staples, health 

Forgot Quinoa and Amaranth which was still largely available here.

Also: most of these products are more expensive, so if needed, don't shy back from asking for community support.

Food advice, alternatives to sold out staples, health 

If your diet mainly relies on wheat and animal products and other things stockpilers are swiping from the stores, hunting down needed non perishables can get really hard.
Based on our experience, here are some things that may be worth considering as substitutes.
(aimed at building up some supplies)

GRAINS:

Maize
• flour (preferably treated with limestone)
• samolina for e.g. Polenta
• whole grains, canned/frozen
• popcorn
• pre-made tortillas etc.

Rye
• flour
• whole grains (can be cooked like rice or soaked and baked etc.)
• pumpernickel and similar packaged breads (often with sunflower seeds)

Rice
most conventional kinds were gone, but
• brown rice was still unpopular in our area
• rice flour
• rice noodles

Oats
• muesli with raisins still unpopular
• porridge (some mixes contain powdered milk)
• granola

Buckwheat
• flour

Spelt
basically it's wheat, just not as "fluffy" when baked

Seitan
(wheat protein)

Make sure to complement those with legumes as well as vegetables like carrots and squash to ensure balanced intake of amino acids, if animal products will be stripped from your diet.

Animal Products:

Eggs
• preboiled eggs are better preservable
• buy eggs and boil them to store them longer, look up expiration dates online

meat products
• jerky
• some salamis are affordable
• canned products/soups

fish
• canned tuna
• herring products

LEGUMES

• peanuts
• lentils were mostly available
• precooked beans, peas and chickpeas, usually canned
• dry soy products
• flour made from legumes
• noodles made from legumes

SEEDS and NUTS:

• sunflower seeds
• poppy
• sesame
• almonds
• hazelnuts
• walnuts
• cashews
(good for essential oils and electrolytes)

OTHER

(vegetables that can be stored well)
• precooked or raw pickled vegetables in jars/cans
• squash
• sweet potatoes
• cabbage
• onions (though need to be checked)

• dried or frozen berries
• dried banana, mango, apples, apricots, dates, figs, plums
• jams/spreads
• apples
• applesauce
• canned (or other) tomato pulp
• leafy greens as available (germany has some common staples in jars, not sure about other countries)

Try to get differently coloured veggies and fruits, secondary plant products are as important for health as vitamins.
Canned products often contain added sugar and salt.
Dried products can increase your uric acid level.
Please watch out if you have related health conditions.

This list is in no way complete and depending on hoarders' choices not reliable.
Hoping this may help some of y'all anyways and for y'all to stay healthy and safe during the crisis.

If anyone knows better resources on this kind of thing please share in replies!

Hi Fediverse

it seems to me that switching.social closed down it's services. All social media accounts are deleted and the site is currently offline.

Unfortunately, I have no clue what happened, I'm as surprised as you are. I already contacted the French, Italian and Turkish version of the site.

In case someone knows anything about what happened or has backups of one/multiple pages of the website, I would be very happy to get in touch with you.

Etiquette PSA 

When messaging a stranger, DO NOT just greet them. ALWAYS include an indication of what you want to talk to them about!

Messages with an unclear intent can easily make for an awkward or anxious situation, especially if one/both of you can't reply right away. They make it hard for busy people to prioritise, since they don't know if your message is work or casual. For these reasons, some people just ignore greeting-only messages.

Everyone's better off if you state your intent :D

To Fediverse users who use screen readers: do you prefer people to integrate #hashtags inside the text, or....
do you prefer when they repeat the word by listing all the hashtags at the end, after the text?

capitalist respectability politics, climate change (boost with CW) 

From @queeranarchism@anarchism.space
====
anarchism.space/@queeranarchis
----
We should celebrate teenagers that take action against climate change & can't be harsh on them for seeking reformist solutions and not understanding capitalism yet

We should be VERY critical of the politicians/NGOs/media who celebrate some hand-picked teenage climate activists while ignoring organizations like Ende Gelande or Hambach occupation or the indigenous organizers that have been in this struggle for decades

They try to steer the conversation in a direction that protects the powerful.

A lot of people in positions of power are waking up to the fact that ‘the climate movement’ (in fact many movements) can not be simply repressed and ignored anymore.

So they are doing what they have done to every other movement for social change that reached a tipping point: push their own preferred spokespeople (who were not chosen by the movements to speak for us) with their own preferred methods (always non-violent) and their own preferred solutions (reform, green capitalism, etc).

gender binarism, gender ternarism, and gender liberation ... meme...post? (cw: trans erasure, restrictive norms of gender presentation, second person) 

😒 "nonbinary? okay, but what are you /really?/"

🤦🏽‍♀️ "oh, no, you see, there's male, and then there's female, and then nonbinary is right in the middle, androgyny"

🙂 👉🏽 "the gender binary is kind of like trying to sort all songs as either four-piece rock or choral-orchestral mass - you don't fix that by adding a third category for everything else, you fix that by accepting there are /lots/ of categories, they all overlap, and they all have fuzzy edges"

choice paralysis, executive dysfunction 

I forgot that was a thing, but as is mentioned here unstrangemind.com/autistic-ine it can look a bit like executive dysfunction, and to be honest, while I definitely struggle with what is genuinely executive dysfunction, choice paralysis also plays a role.

Though, interestingly, while executive dysfunction, although varying in scope and impact, is a constant companion, choice paralysis is not. That one only rears it's ugly head when making decisions, almost invariably when there's a substantial cost involved, financial or otherwise. Especially when it's something that can't easily, or at all, be undone.

Being faced with choice paralysis can definitely exacerbate executive dysfunction though. (My personal theory is that it depletes whatever resource/energy is also used for regulating executive function, but I have nothing to back that up other than a personal hunch, so take that as you will.)

misandry, why we say it isn't real, nuances 

When we say there is no such thing as misandry, what we mean is there is no systemic misandry. It is not a system of oppression, and while some people are misandrists, there is no systemic misandry through which they can exercise that to cause harm. They can exercise it through transphobia (aimed at trans men) or racism (aimed at men of colour) but there is no system that allows you to persecute men for no real reason. Unlike trans people or POC.

colonialism, trans-antagonism, non-European gender constructs (boost with CW) 

From @AzureHusky in yiff.life/@AzureHusky/10281087
----
Got linked to a really fantastic piece about how attempting to categorize indigenous genders into white-colonialist language like "trans man" and "trans woman" or AMAB/AFAB dichotomies is in itself erasure and an attempt to colonize indigenous genders, which don't fit into the same set simple boxes that the Victorian-inspired gender binary attempts to see the world through. Thought others might find it useful as well.
