@zleap NO. Fight Fight Fight even if it means you get injured more. Bodily injury generally heals faster then injury to one's heart and soul. And the idea that not fighting back means you escape trauma is ludicrous. And in my daughter's case she was grabbed from behind and wasn't really given a chance to say much of anything.

Btw I liked how the campaign actually calls us to stand with all "carers of the world" (not just nurses). It makes a lot more senseto not go the route of "health care professionals".

My daughter was raped at 13. Recently the subject of rape came up in two of her classes and from what she said it was handled very poorly.
So she made an appointment with the principle and her guidance councilor and explained to them why it was handled so poorly and how it should have been handled and that staff training was necessary and provided them some options for it. It took two hours. A 4 hour teacher in service day has already been scheduled for the first training module. good for her.

If you have any interest in open source voice technology, this is worth checking out. Is it missing something? Now's a great time to contribute!

@zleap "Common sense" doesn't exist. It is the cry of presumption bemoaning variance in human experience. (Or someone unaware of their own privileges.) It is the first cousin of, "have you tried not being poor?"
The only things that humans have in common is ignorance.

@zleap I remember working as a chef in London when the new knife ban came into effect, (after teacher Philip Lawrence was stabbed to death). We had a strange moment when it was announced over the radio and everyone looked up, holding large knifes and realised we had all, in that moment become criminals.

@zleap I used to think that exactly! (When I was only doing anthropology.) Then I started doing the practical part of sociology and was horrified that most people don't want to learn and enjoy their ignorance. (Which also explains football supporters ;-) )
Is it any wonder Covid is seen as a hidden agenda
The UK media has three types of report, one that the new variant is not that much of a threat, another is that it is serious threat, other reports say we don't actually know yet
Maybe the media need to hold off reporting, until they can get some consistent facts.

short story short ACADEMIC INTERVENTION IS EFFECTIVE in this court case, or at least the publishers seem to respond to it. this document is filed by 6 social scientists. can we get 6 more senior academics to file something similar? or make any noise at all?

I have given the fact trumps new social media network uses mastodon as the intro, as people won't hear the last of that when it does launch

Together with 30 other companies we asked the EU to enforce a fair, level playing field against #Microsoft and other Big Tech. #antitrust

so what is the latest on the Trump + Mastodon AGPL thing then. ?
