This makes me so proud. When I was a kid, a glimpse of the #SydneyMardiGras on the evening news meant knowing that queer people existed and I wasn’t alone. I hope these images travel the globe and deliver that message to those who need it most. They deserve to know that they aren’t alone and that a whole community is waiting to welcome them with open arms and hearts. 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ #SydneyWorldPride

There are a lot of bad things going on in the world right now, but probably the worst is that I’ve never been listed in one of those “accounts you need to follow” toots.

Say what you will about the humanities, but at least my research will never be paid for by an oil company trying to prove that burning fossil fuels brings unicorns to life.

I saw someone say what trans allies, especially ones in other countries, do about the New York Times’ transphobia: stop playing #Wordle.

So I stopped.

Also, stop playing #SpellingBee. Stop doing the #NYTCrossword. Don’t click on their articles.

Here's the chart that really matters.

Average Mastodon posts per month are going up.

Here's a comparison:

* Sept 2022: ~460M posts
* Dec 2022: ~573M posts
* Feb 2022 (so far): ~678M posts

This is a dramatic upswing in posts, and indicates that activity on Mastodon is continuing to increase.

The chart tells the story. The jump is dramatic.

I called the #NewYorkTimes and cancelled my subscription this morning--I have a #nonbinary child. I told the very nice lady I spoke to why I was cancelling, and asked her to pass on to management that they were putting kids like mine in danger. She said she would pass that along, then offered me the editorial department's phone number so that I could also call them and let them know why I'd cancelled.

I did indeed call & leave a message. The number is 212-556-3652.

This guy falsifies his scientific research and gets to be president of Stanford, but if I don’t cite a pamphlet from 1563 written in a language I don’t speak by someone only Reviewer 2 has heard of, years of my hard work will never see the light of day.

@meow2438 Yes several teachers and even a principal went out of their way for me. And thanks for your support and care.

Do you folks sincerely believe the Holocaust happened because 6 million Jewish people were not good at making the argument and not very polite?

Cause some of your replies seem to indicated that.

You beat fascism, by stomping fascists. Being 'correct" didn't help one person the fascists murdered in history and it's not gonna help you here.

This is ENTIRELY MY POINT; your liberal frame of reference is USELESS here. You fight, or they kill you. End of story.
