Reminder:

The people who work for you have three resources: time, energy, and give-a-fuck.

Time is the cheapest. It replenishes one hour every hour.

Energy is more expensive. When you're out, you need lots of time off to recharge.

Once give-a-fuck is burned, it's gone forever.

Polls in many countries such as the US and the UK continue to show majority support for mask mandates in public spaces and on public transit. By refusing to do what is right, leaders are putting corporate interests over the health of the public.

We're all mature until we see bubble wrap.

We normally promote the conference Tech Intersections: Women of Color in Computing on #Twitter but won't this year for obvious reasons.

Please help us spread the word about this #bipoc conference in #Oakland #California.

We're offering 20% off with promo code MASTODON. #BlackMastodon #BlackFriday

We also want to give free tickets to people who have been laid off.

Everything happens as it's supposed to, when it's supposed to.

Just let it be

From Aurora Davis:
In Columbus, the Proud Boys successfully stopped an all-ages drag show.
In North Carolina, militia members attacked the power grid and shut off electricity for 40k people in order to sabotage a drag show.
Allies, the time has come to make difficult choices. Armed violence against us will escalate.
There are not enough of us.
We will need you.
Instead of canceling LGBTQ events and letting them win, I want to encourage our community to teach self-defense courses, to provide training and have community protectors at all events moving forward.
Instead of cancelling, let's flood the turnout so they are always outnumbered.
Unarmed gays and allies took down the ClubQ shooter.
We keep us safe.

"The DMR thesis, draft copies of which have now been found, represents what is typographically one of the most sophisticated math dissertations of the 1960s, perfect placement of sub/superscripts and abundance of Greek letters and math symbols, and the uniformity from version to version. Did he hire the best professional typist in Cambridge to help create such a close-to-perfect document? Or could he have somehow tapped into new technologies that would allow him to do things that other students couldn’t do?

Experts are clear that computers were not advanced enough to have been able to aid Dennis in January 1968. Other experts are clear that the dissertation draft document could not have been typed by hand, the typography is too uniform and too perfect. There has to be an answer, but we have not found it yet.

So this website is dedicated to learning about Dennis Ritchie’s doctoral thesis and about the intellectual, social and cultural background environment during his graduate school and early Bell Labs years, 1964-1968. We are sharing the information/evidence/observations/opinions we find here."

Someone just posted a chatbot screenplay scene in a discord and it makes me feel safe because the notes coming back on something like the feedback equivalent of an air strike.

Currently Elon has given behind the scenes Twitter user data access to anti-LGBTQ bigots and made promises of protection to a woman actively trying to murder trans people.

The site simply is not safe for LGBTQ people to be on at all and this isn't a problem that's ever going to be rectified -- it can only get worse because it is the desire of the new owner.

As such I've deleted all my content on Twitter, parked my account, and will no longer be used the site.

#introduction I’m a #Georgia native and have lived within 40 miles of #Atlanta all my life. My wife is an #audiobook #narrator and I direct and act as her proof listener when she’s working on a book. We are #childfree by choice and have a white #MiniatureSchnauzer. I ride a #motorcycle, am an #AFOL (Adult Fan of #Lego), #coffee and #espresso enthusiast, and like to #cook and #grill. I've been a #software engineer, #scuba #diver and #freelance #photographer. By Georgia law, I own a #banjo.

This is my 1st ever post. I left Twitter because someone left a ‘1’ rating on my Amazon book after I tweeted a reply to Elon for something I disagreed with. Sigh. I only had 6 reviews, & it pulled my rating way down. (If you want to read it & LIKE it, I'd appreciate a review. It's Marple, Dear http://amzn.to/3jiqXvT ) I’m hoping this is a Troll-free place to land.

I'm not sure I took the opportunity to write an #intro for this account yet.

Hey all, I'm Bryn, (she/her, 24) and I live in the greater Pittsburgh area! I'm a #pansexual, #polyamorous #trans girl with a passion for #electronics, #music (especially #indie), and human interaction/#communication.

My account is NOT professional; I post #nsfw content often. I spent too much of my life without confidence to let my newfound beauty go to waste! ^^

Follow me! Boosts appreciated!

@lethain One big difference I've noticed living in Africa, Europe, and the United States, is that in the US, "chore dates" are missing.

In the US, when people hang out with friends, there has to be some event: dinner. Listening to music. Going somewhere. Friends don't come over while people do laundry. We don't go to our friend's house just to go grocery shopping with them, or get an oil change.

I do that kinda stuff with my friends, and it's great! Recommend. 👍🏿

I will watch you do dishes!

Two years after a naked-eye comet pierced the blanket of night in the spring of 1874, Ellen Harding Baker (1847–1886) began a near decade-long project to bring the stars farther down to Earth: an appliqué quilt depicting the solar system, complete with a green-tailed comet, its slingshot course plotted around the Sun. — https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/solar-system-quilt
