1. The nation's 100K+ rail workers get ZERO paid sick days

They want FOUR

And are threatening to strike December 9

In response, corporate America is demanding Congress intervene and force them to continue working without any paid sick days

I hear new people noting how chill, tolerant, and pleasant Mastodon is.

Mastodon isn’t chill or tolerant or pleasant. It’s a tool… a foundation on which to create and maintain a culture.

It’s those who’ve been on Mastodon, run servers, and served as admins who did the hard work and created the culture you now enjoy.

Now, it’s your turn. The only way it stays tolerant and chill is by us doing the work to keep it that way.

A good example of, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”

That article gave me a chance to revisit my graph looking at Fox News's amplification of crime prior to the election — and then afterward.

And, lo: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/11/28/another-fox-news-driven-target-likely-gop-probes-looting/

I'm seeing an increasing number of picture posts here with no alt text, and this worries me. Please check before you post, and keep your posts accessible to everyone!

You may have heard about another so-called Twitter alternative named “Post” (which has already felt quite scammy to me). Post came out yesterday and said they are explicitly *not* focusing on making their platform accessible to people with disabilities. I’m skeptical they even make it out of test 0.x.

It's freelance job hunting time!

I'm a very experienced audio producer/podcaster / videographer/editor / comms/social video person with Photoshop skills to boot. I'm based in Bristol UK (moving to Nottingham next spring hopefully!), fully kitted out with all my own equipment plus a car and clean licence, and very happy to work ad hoc and remotely.

Your kind shares of this post are greatly appreciated. Thank you!

@ct_bergstrom You don't have to interact with everyone. Just like, at a bar after the talks, you don't have to respond to all the conversations. Pick one or two that interest you and go with it. See where it takes you. Way more conversational that way. No one expects you to respond to every reply.

#memes This one really speaks to me. Good to remember that in many ways we're all alone in this universe, and maybe try to be kinder to one another. #loneliness #kindness

For those that joined #Mastodon and grabbed the first server they could find, but would prefer to #migrate to a different one, I created a short guide on how to do this quickly and easily.
It also allows you to easily move any followers across to your new profile and leaves a redirection on your old profile for those that find it to help them get to your new one. 😁👍

I'd love if you could share it among your networks to help those that will invariably need it later on.

Folks have mentioned that Twitter is an extremely important space for sharing #protest news across the world and as a result we should keep preserving it despite the takeover.

I get it, I am #Iranian, I have relied heavily on twitter for news sharing re protests in #Iran over the years.

But what you are missing is that those same activists and protesters are MOST vulnerable to the new Twitter regime. Misinformation campaigns will be easy, and #Putin/#China/Islamic republic will use it.
