#OtD 6 May 1933 Nazis raided the Institute of Sex Research in Berlin. It was a pioneering organisation which supported gay and trans rights, and equality for women. It employed numerous trans workers and pioneered gender affirmation surgery. Its library was then burned
Bei meiner Nachbarin hat es letztens gebrannt. Auf den ersten Blick gar kein großer Schaden, aber es wurden wohl krebserregende Stoffe freigesetzt, also wird kernsaniert. Die Mitarbeiter*innen der Firma, die die Möbel entsorgt, die Rigips-Wände rausreißt und das Bad entkernt, tragen Schutzanzüge, aber... keine Masken...

Today I am disappointed and disgusted to say that #WesternDigital have sent me an email that has very important content in it, but it's inaccessible.
They've suffered a data breach, but the information about said breach has been put into the email as an image.
A #ScreenReader user without some level of tech knowledge would be unable to read that, and may actually think it's spam. To us, it goes straight to the line that says 'Copyright 2023 Western Digital' and skips all the salient points.
Utterly disgusting behaviour from such a large company about such an important topic.
If you're of a mind to do so, please boost to raise awareness.
This email is seemingly *not* a drill.
Don't forget: Giving a musician $10 is worth as much as streaming their song 1,000 times on Apple Music and 2,500 times on Spotify.
What is your favorite positive privacy-related moment? 🔒💚
It can be something that happened to you, a positive interaction with someone, something rewarding at work or with your family, something that you learned and enjoyed.
What is something that is privacy-related and brought you joy?
Here’s one of mine:
I always hide my home address with black electrical tape on my ID cards. Because most of the time when I show my ID there is no need to reveal my home address.
Once at the liquor store the cashier noticed it and questioned me about it. After I explained, she said she thought that was smart and that she was going to start doing the same.
Completely unexpectedly, I felt I had indirectly helped someone improve their safety and privacy with something so simple to do. It warmed my heart and made my day 🥰

It would have been funny if the gardeners at Buckingham palace had been tending the lawn / gardens in the nude just as people started to arrive post coronation.
Some of the coolest lichen I've ever seen! I love these shapes. Found on a magnolia tree at the SF Botanical Gardens.

How did world naked gardening day go today ?
An old forest road, not used for decades, is now covered with blueberry bushes.
Living in the #wetlands of #Polesia (also spelled #Polesie) in #EasternPoland. Surrounded by #bogs and #forests, trying not to fuck up surrounding nature too much.
Taking care of a small pack of #dogs – #IdąPsięta.
Luddite working with hi-tech.
#RuralBroadband provider by accident. Starting a small LoRaWAN project to monitor our wetlands. Coding in #Python. Dealing with dirty data, cleaning them when time allows.
#Atheist. I don't *believe* in #science – science is the *only* thing that protects us from belief.
Fuck nazis.

I check facts before I toot.
I sometimes toot in Polish.
