The Cabinet Office refused our FOI request to release the emails between Gove and Mone saying it was ‘not in the public interest’. 👀 🤯

So aparantly me and @koyu@koyu.space along with one other have been banned from teh e-mail list.

I wont say much other than to judge for yourselves, I think what I said and the evidence I presented speaks for itself.

Here is the full transcript, including accusation of being alt-right in the moderator ban.. all emails, unedited.

These are your admins people, these childish morons.

@freemo @koyu@koyu.space

You are a pain in the ass Jeffrey. And you made a lot of unwanted contact about that situation. So I understand that many people and admins are fed up with that. But... (it's my opinion)

The right to be emotional about, and fight against false accusations, defamation, and unjust treatment, is far more critical than other people's "feeling of peace".

Women can be angry and it's not 'reverse sexism'

Non-cis people can be angry and it's not 'anticisideology'.

POC can be angry and it's 'reverse racism'

And QOTO admin can be angry about unjustified accusations and it's not 'harassment'.

(It's my opinion)

@i_jayas @seis_matters This is what I try to do. I grew up with pretty intense social phobia due to being neurodivergent and being bullied for it. I have always struggled with putting myself "out there" in a way that will draw attention. So I boost/retweet/etc the voices of people who say what I wanted to say, especially if they are from marginalised communities.

Giving Mastodon another go thanks to Elon. Since my last intro toot I've now got the PhD and I'm now living in Aotearoa (New Zealand).

I'm currently working with a citizen science project collecting remote camera data in forests where I've processed the images using MegaDetector to remove empties then put it on DigiVol for them.

Besides that, I'm mentoring a serious game project about nutrition for kids here in NZ. Exciting things are happening in Ōtepoti Dunedin in the serious games space!

BREAKING NEWS:

Pauline Hanson refuses to shop the Black Friday sales, she will wait for the White Friday sales! She is quoted as saying “white sales matter” continuing “I’ve had a gutful of politically correct, transgender oriented, racially decisive and discriminatory sales” 🤷‍♂️

Boost this toot if you're planning on sticking around Mastodon whether or not it becomes more popular than the birdsite.

Today is #TransDayofRemembrance when we honor and remember trans lives taken by violence. How horrifying that a deadly attack upon the LGBTQ+ community in Colorado Springs should occur right before this solemn day.
Hate isn’t born in us. It is taught. It must end.
This starts with our political leaders, who must cease their cynical attacks against our community before another attack occurs.
Call out the hate. Remind them of its consequences. Hold them to account.

A useful look at Mastodon, and how it works.

#Brexit is dead.

Tories mull Swiss-style ties with Brussels — which means FoM returns.

Which is nice.

But this is a flag raising exercise to see how much virulent opposition there is to it.

Ergo, it won’t happen.

Which isn’t nice.

Really enjoyed the focus on trees in BBC Countryfile this evening. Nice to see Wales featured (from about 15 minutes in) as the first country globally to declare a Climate Emergency and showcasing the current Fy Nghoeden, Ein Coedwig / My Tree, Our Forest initiative.

Also good to see my Surrey-based colleagues Caroline, Max and Matt talking about their work around 22 minutes in.

The programme is available on iPlayer for the next 11 months at:

#Introduction #noxp

I'm a straight white CIS middle-aged grey-bearded male from Sydney who works as a SysAdmin / BOFH. Shy. Introvert. Hate crowds with a passion.

I'm very left-leaning in my political and societal views. Support equality in gender identity, sexuality, etc. Support doing more to protect the environment and climate. Trickle down economics doesn't. You get the idea.

I enjoy long drives for the sake of the travel rather than the destination. I don't spend anywhere near enough time in the water. I suck at but enjoy photography. And I watch way too many movies & tv-shows. Mostly sci-fi & fantasy.

Also a very avid sportsball supporter. Mostly Rugby Union (Northern Suburbs, Waratahs, Wallabies, mens & womens comps), Ice Hockey (Sydney Bears, Sydney Sirens, Seattle Kraken), to a lesser extent NRL (Norths Bears, Rabbitohs, Eels), MotoGP, and cricket (Sydney Sixers, Australia).

You can find me on various platforms outlined here - sheepie-au.carrd.co/

Just a reminder to support your local mastodon instance. There is no venture capital nor advertising backing it. It's all out of the admin's pocket.

You know what else is cool about #mastodon? People here thank each other when they learn something new, or they get helped out with questions.

Ever see that happen with regularity on the other place? No. No you did not.

The proud mother of a mathematics in a Denver university who is also invilved with the LGBTQ community;

a fugitive from Texas currently in Albuquerque, NM;
fond of all animals, used to be the neighborhood snake wrangler;
the daughter of a natural history devotee;
a voracious reader;
the wife of a fine arts scholar, who has read me to sleep every night for 24 years - all of the major classics and many of the minor ones (I got the liberal arts education that I had missed as a science student);
a terrible housekeeper, with an even worse house husband;
glad to be alive even though that might change any day with the current political disaster.

Thanks to @Romaq for inviting me to qoto. I hope to find a home here. Twitter is evil; Facebook is cluttered and confusing. So here I am.
