I am trying to share what is going on in the US with regard to the rise of attacks on the LGBTQA+ communities, and what is happening on twitter, which helps to facilitate some of this.

Started off by suggesting people need to think about how they can on the one hand be committed to safeguarding and be on twitter, given what is going on. More recently however I am trying to up this by saying why are you still on twitter.

Not sure if has any effect on people, but trying to suggest peoples reputations and that of their company / employer is at stake could make a difference.

Advantage is that these blog posts can have embedded toots, which in turn, have links to external sources to back the toots up, so we can't be accused of mis-information, when a toot points to local leglislation voting schedules or local newspaper reports.

There is very little hidng from this now as even the BBC are starting to give things a mention.

For the sake of ALL of us, if you are going to indict trump for the insurrection and other stuff GET ON WITH IT

In Germany, teaching the Holocaust is mandatory.

It includes visits to concentration camp, museums, etc. They don't shy away from their own ugly history. Yet the kids aren't damaged; they're strengthened, matured, humbled. The U.S. needs to do same with slavery.

Not that complicated.

In 1980, Gaillard published a report on gender imbalance at CERN. She recommended that CERN implement changes like maternity leave, promotion equality, and daycare to address the problem.

In a 1974 paper with Benjamin Lee they predicted a mass of around 1.5 GeV for the charm quark. That's pretty close to the actual value of about 1.3 GeV.

The UN is pathetic, What happened to blocking this from happening, BUT they have had 13 months to come up with a policy change to prevent Russia from gaining this in the first place.

Non-sexual casual nudity. Gardening naked.

You could do yourself a rather nasty injury with that eh.

That path made from wooden planks, looks like a great way to preserve the underling soil substructure, is this the intention?

I wrote about “copyleft trolls” after one came for one of my students, and a few years later, I’m thrilled to see what Creative Commons and Flickr and advocates like Cory Doctorow @pluralistic have done to make it harder for them to target unwitting users of photos they thought were safe. pluralistic.net/2023/04/01/pix

@annasara Job ads never disappoint.

I remember one that required 10 years of experience in Node.js when it had only been around for a few. Not even the creator was viable for that position

@annasara

LOL, I am sure most people try their best to do this, which is why I assume we write cost, test, and then write more code and fix problems based on test results.

@SweaterVest@mastodon.cloud

I am kinda assuming all this is happening on Twitter, which is proving day by day it is NOT a safe place to be.

Keep summing up what is going on, eventually entities who are on twitter may realise who they are sharing the platform with and leave.
