washingtonpost.com/health/2025. "A divided federal appeals court on Tuesday allowed West Virginia to restrict access to mifepristone, the pill used to end pregnancies that has emerged as a focal point of legal battles over abortion." The US is in a time-warp, heading rapidly backwards into the past, as all #social #progress over the past 60 years or so is being systematically undone, @HarriettMB.

A quotation from Steven Moffat

THE DOCTOR: We all change. When you think about it, we’re all different people all through our lives, and that’s okay, that’s good, you gotta keep moving, so long as you remember all the people that you used to be.

Steven Moffat (b. 1961) Scottish television writer, producer
Doctor Who (2005), 07xS2 “The Time of the Doctor” (2013-12-25)

After years in my youth where I wanted to use Linux on my workstation but was held back, because software I wanted to run required a windows machine, I can finally report that I currently would like to run freeBSD on my workstation but am being held back because software I want to run requires a Linux machine.

In the last 3ish years, we've had #trans and now #progress #pride flags outside on our extremely visible but also surprisingly windy corner

In that time, we've gone through 3-4 flag poles thanks to bad #design and cheap construction

I kinda want to #diy this bc it can't be this hard

Design constraints:

- 3'x5' (1x1.5m) flag
- long dimension of flag parallel to the ground
- 6-8' (2-2.5m) tall
- very strong in bending (windy corner)
- weighted bottom rather than dug (ground is usually frozen, rocky or mud)
- not "ugly"

Naively, I'd stick an iron or PVC pipe in a bucket of cement, then mount the flag with rotating clips. But even painted, I can't claim this isn't "ugly".

The base needs to be smaller. How heavy/wide do I really need? How would I even measure the torque the wind is applying? I guess a spring scale and just pull the pole to about the same bending I see from the wind....?

Is there a flag pole design standard?

(I've seen the "RV style" and it's clever, but not quite the look I want.)
