Learn to let certifications expire when they’re no longer needed. For example, I received my second reminder email today:
“Your credential for Logical Operations Certified Virtual Educator (CVE) will expire on 2023-07-03. If you haven't already, you should start the renewal process with CertNexus.”
At the beginning of the pandemic I thought it might be useful to take a class on teaching in a virtual environment. I'm glad I did. I got lots of useful tips and advice from this course, and many of the things I learned are now automatic for me. I do them all the time, in all of my virtual course preparation and delivery.
But…
No one has ever asked me if I’m a Certified Virtual Educator.
No one has ever asked me for proof of certification.
My certificate has not “clinched the deal” with any student or business.
So…
I’m not spending money on renewal.
I’m not taking the time to study for a refresher.
I’m not taking the exam again.
Be aware, there are times when you should absolutely renew your certifications.
If there have been lots of changes in a particular domain of expertise, keep your training current. Using Certified Virtual Educator as an example, let’s suppose that VR headsets become a routine part of virtual education. That’s a significant change, and it would be well worth my time and money to get some training on how to make the most effective use of that technology for education.
Maybe next year, or the year after that. But not yet.

Maybe @jobsfordevelopers can help too.
On a similar note if anyone IS looking for a career change now could be a good time to start looking at re-training for careers in cybersecurity

Since posting 👆 job advert, I've only been contacted by men.
If you are a woman in cybersecurity, please apply! I'm happy to offer an informal chat about the role and the team.

If you want to build a public online profile for your scientific work, you really need more than a Twitter profile and a validated entry on Google Scholar.
Blogging can build an in-depth profile of more than just dashed-off thoughts, on an independent website that’s fully connected and searchable on the open Internet.

“We invite all elected officials … to speak out against #racism and extremist ideology and all forms. We think they have a real responsibility to do that.”
On the one-month anniversary of the #Allen shooting, Special Investigative Reporter @stevanzetti reached out to the 15 elected officials who represent constituents in the town. Not one Republican would condemn the shooter's beliefs: https://www.texasobserver.org/allen-shooting-republicans-extremism/

Once people realise that their claims of being committed to safeguarding are just BS while they remain on that vile cesspit, things may start to change. personal / organisations reputations are at risk,
The new CEO has her work cut out, and I don't think it is going to end well for her at all.
Well we could start by stop worrying about upsetting or offending these people or their supporters. If they attack a store owned by a person who is LGBTQA+ they are bigots, so call them that. Then put up and more flags, so the behaviouir of bigots simple ends up with more rainbow flags etc.
This is what I mean about giving them the total opposite of what they want or crave. If they can video themselves abusing others, then others can do that and share too, only share with the words uneducated bigots attack LGBTQA+ store.

So as Ron DeSantis, signed this in to law, can he be charged with a criminal offence as a result, if nothing else it may disqualify him from running for president in 2024.

A federal judge has ruled Florida’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors is likely unconstitutional and has issued an injunction halting enforcement of the ban.
Happy Pride, and thank you, federal judiciary!

What is the deal when it comes to uploading media to twitter as if there are clauses in the T&Cs that give twitter ownership (even partial) or control of such content, so they can do what they want.
if such clauses exist then can we use such clauses to somehow charge the CEO and others with possession and perhaps distribution of child abuse imagery.
* Replace with other types of illegal content as needed.

+1, I find it perplexing that people STILL use twitter despite all this, especially people who are committed to safeguarding of children, don't they realise by staying on Twitter they are complicit, by deleting their twitter they are sending a message.
This is the United States of America in 2023,
You fought the revolutionary war because you were oppressed by the British, and yet in 2023 you are just asleep at the wheel while this happens.

George Takei tells Target,
"Welcome to our lives.
LGBTQ+ people are facing attacks and threats as never before. Our identities are being erased from classrooms, our gatherings and festivals are being targeted by armed militias, and our children are being singled out and denied life saving, gender affirming medical care."

Indeed, bullies who are seeking attention should be given less attention or at least not the sort of attention they are seeking.
