I didn’t know this, now I do. I figured out how to filter out words I don’t want to see, like Twitter and the former President. I’ll be using block, reporting and filters if I have to. To filter words go to Preferences, Filter, Add. Simple lol.

Bringing people with a range of perspectives to the table is the quickest way to solve difficult problems, experts tell WIRED Impact.

A gentle reminder to folks who are new to Mastodon. In solidarity with those in the disabled community who rely on screen readers, we ask that you:

* Add alt text/image descriptions when you post media
* Capitalize the first letter of every word in a hashtag #LikeThis

You might have seen somebody using the proverb Vox Populi, Vox Dei. What was missing was the context in which it was used:

Nec audiendi qui solent dicere, Vox populi, vox Dei, quum tumultuositas vulgi semper insaniae proxima sit.

In case you do not speak Latin, it means in English:

And those people should not be listened to who keep saying the voice of the people is the voice of God since the riotousness of the crowd is always very close to madness.

#Queer and #lgbt spaces need to continue to exist and be safe havens. When they are attacked it strikes a blow at the entire community. When they close and aren’t replaced it erodes the community. We need these safe spaces. 🤍🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💔

So, an #introduction: this is #me, a mastodon #edutooter #newbie looking to make #educationuk #connections. I studied #literature, am still a #bookworm, and teach #English @rmsforgirls. I enjoy following #TeamEnglish, #womened, #DiverseEd, #leadership, #inclusion, among others. I am a #headteacher at a fabulous #school, and would love to see #GCSEreform because there are #betteroptions for our students.

Twitterpocalypse Image a la Planet of the Apes 

Combined two images, one from @hailey with another I stumbled upon. Too funny.

"The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best." -Epictetus

@jazzilla I have no real way to verify it.. I am left wondering how its calculated though... at over 200K impressions the likes and retweet count seem very low for a 11% engagement rate... so i dunno...

Here is the ad if you want to take a peek: twitter.com/DocFreemo/status/1

Some people wander wherever the wind blows,
Watching the weather vane sputter and spin.
I've spent a lifetime just peering in windows,
Wondering whether I want to come in.
The sunlit days are everything.
When folks come to visit, I can't help but sing.
But it's a phase, and when it's gone.
I'm left here to shiver and sulk on the lawn.
Can't climb down the chimney; the roof is too tall,
And these castles I build in the air always fall.
Is a fire in the hearth such a faraway dream?
I cannot let it go.
Now the ties that I banked on are all on the rocks,
And it's kind of like building with alphabet blocks,
Every single community, rafter to beam,
Eventually brought low.
Look to the future; there's time left to labor.
While I've no roommate, I look to my neighbor.

Terrific article about how the “Move fast and break things” philosophy inevitably leads to the rise of group -based societies.
In fact, all need a "cleanup" time to establish the "new order" and restore all the good things they have broken in the process.
