This is real.

The first time I saw a doctor and said "something is very wrong," I was told it was stress and given Prozac and Prilosec.

A few years later, I was nearly dead. I was 5' 8" and 103 lbs. I couldn't eat. I couldn't sleep. My hair was falling out. I couldn't stand up for more than a few seconds. I was living on NSAIDs and protein shakes.

Then I got mad and started firing doctors who wouldn't listen. And I finally got diagnosed.

In my opinion, it's probably best to only add your HashTags to the first post of a thread, unless one of your replies is also useful as a stand-alone post.

(For example, this reply might be helpful by itself if it shows up in a search, without needing to read the thread it's from)

I am not a big fan of using #AI generated art for the creation of #solarpunk : the movement needs conscious research of new symbols and hieroglyphs, not just permutations of what's already there.

This doesn't mean that neural networks such as #midjourney or #stablediffusion don't have their uses: they can help us map what's already there in the shared imagination and what's not, to help us understand which symbols might be alien to an average person and which might be founded in their culture.

Question:

Now that thing here are growing rapidly, it draws the bots n trolls.

Does anybody have tips on how to sort new folks with empty-ish profiles, or people that are just inherently ranty, from the bots and the trolls? And what do we do if we find them?

Mostly asking from a follow pov. I want to follow and welcome as many as I can, but I don't want to welcome garbage.

I haven't been directly harassed or anything. But I do want to do what I can to support a safer platform.

Singer Josephine Baker was the toast of Paris. She was a spy for the French Resistance during WWII & secured passports for Jewish citizens fleeing Nazi territory.

Her marriage to a Jewish businessman drew the attn. of Hermann Göring, who poisoned her. Members of the Fr. Resistance rescued her; she recovered.

She was awarded the Legion of Honor, Croix de Guerre & the Rosette of the Resistance. In 2021, she was inducted into Panthéon, France's hallowed tomb of heroes. #BlackFriday

I've been working on #digitalrights and #techpolicy issues since right after the #SOPA blackout.

We spend most of our time trying to STOP bad legislation (think: #EarnItAct, #SESTA FOSTA, #KOSA etc)

It's *so rare* we get a chance to pass ACTUALLY GOOD legislation.

We have one of those once in a lifetime chances right now: the #BigTech #antitrust bills #AICOA and #OAMA

There is a real chance these bills make it into the #omnibus. Do the thing https://www.AntitrustVoteNow.com

@futurebird Calculus made no sense at all in HS, I nearly flunked. My first year of College was also my Calculus Professor’s first year teaching. He was so motivated to share his love of Mathematics that I got straight A’s in the subject *and* the Maths Dept. Chair called me to his office to encourage me to switch my Major. (Forty years later, my career veered back to IT and now I wish I had!)

#caturday

I don’t want to be cultivated.

I want to grow wild
Like brambles
On forest floors,
In concrete cracks,
Climbing bark and stone
To taste the sun
With perilous leaves
With blood red thorns
With sun-parched vines.

They always bear the sweetest,
Most fragrant fruits.
And always evade
Restraint.
