During COP27, we urge the Egyptian authorities to immediately and unconditionally release all those held simply for peacefully exercising their human rights, implementing criteria set by local NGOs for these releases: fairness, transparency, inclusiveness and urgency. One of these prisoners is Alaa Abd El-Fattah, who is now on a water strike since the beginning of COP27. (thread)

A room full of oceanographers #IceSheet has just been told (by Gael Durand of the #PROTECT project) that 2m of global mean #SeaLevelRise is basically almost inevitable* and there is a tangible atmosphere of shock...

*On a timescale ranging from a couple of hundred to thousand of years

Twitter is designed to agitate us.

Twitter is designed to get under our skin.

Twitter is designed to make us react.

Twitter is designed to make us want to return to "give them a piece of my mind."

Twitter is a drug that kills empathy and rewards cruelty and compels us to come back for more, even though we know that it is self-harm.

Which is entirely by design.

That is why Mastodon feels so chill.

You're not being manipulated.

If you see this toot (yeah this one right here), can you boost it for me? It will help my new server federate with the wider Mastodon network. 🚀 🙏

The opposite of impostor syndrome and self-doubt doesn’t have to be arrogance.

You can recognize your qualifications while still seeing you have a lot to learn.

You can recognize that success will require hard work while still seeing you are capable of exceptional things.

@smaideman Can you imagine if all laws were enforced based on fear of how the criminals would react? Yikes.

@jentaub this model is the future. Like minded group can crowdsource a server and join the larger 'fediverse' if desired. Will not be subject to whims of some plutocrat.

Disinformation alert! With more absentee ballots and votes by mail, along with rules that prohibit early counting, we should not expect to know election winners immediately. There is nothing suspicious about taking time to count every vote.

Women suffragette posts are going around today, understandably! Let’s be more inclusive and historically accurate. #vote That’s the beauty of today: we can fix the wrongs, or start to.
