Enjoying my enforced day off with a morning playing in the garden with , reading through my volunteer induction stuff and getting some housework out the way (didn't really enjoy that bit) Means I have a mainly free afternoon 😬 Guess I'll do some reading and try and make a dent in my booklist

@RachAirStailc we're in hermit mode this weekend :p tomorrow should be good though! Ever the optimist!

Watching the and I like the new first line for the English national anthem "god save our gracious qu-...-ing" 😂

@strandjs "Don't light yourself on fire to keep everyone else warm" was the adage relayed to me. Thanks for speaking out about this, John. Moreover, cheers for admitting that your perception was wrong in a public forum. Much respect.

This arrived yesterday, timing is perfect ;p excited to get stuck into it! Thanks @KimCrayton1 for getting it here safely 😊

I've long thought the perception of as socially liberal was overstated. campaign uses the left as a point of contrast between the UK government but having Kate Forbes run for leader, someone at the heart of the Scottish Government (4 years as minister, 8 as a MSP) who is so clearly , makes it clearer than ever that an independent Scotland wouldn't be the socialist utopia many seem to expect

If you see someone debating our right to exist? Don't join the debate! That legitimatizes the debate as worthy of discussion. You're not gonna convince them at this stage. Instead, shut it down.

Say: "We do not debate people's existence here."

Intolerance breaks the social pact of tolerating others. So stop tolerating the intolerant. They aren't worthy of it. Shut it down.

Bombard all news sites with intense consequences for posting this anti-trans evil. Make them pay for it. Shut it down.

So had a new experience this evening trying some by floating for an hour in a sensory deprivation room... Not really sure I liked it but was worth a shot

Let's play a game: #NameThatWikiHow

I'm going to share an image from a WikiHow article, and in the next post I'll put up a poll with the titles of four real WH articles. You have to guess where it's from. (No cheating, please, and consider boosting these two posts)

May or may not have forgotten to renew my SSL cert for this oops :o Sorted now!
Every time I use I'm made nostalgic for the old days where I used to PAY for a much worse experience...

Job-seekers With Nonbinary Gender Pronouns on Their Resumes Are Less Likely To Be Contacted by Employers

From the article - "Today, approximately 1.2 million LGBTQ+ adults in the United States identify as nonbinary in terms of gender. Most of these individuals are under 30 years old, which means many are embarking on their professional careers. Among all LGBTQ+ professionals, workplace discrimination and bias are well-documented, but what about nonbinary people in particular?"

“You ship your org chart” resonates for me across time and space

“Please don’t play the wizard game from the lady who doesn’t respect my humanity.”

“Please don’t buy chicken from the people that want to exterminate people like me.”

"Please don't shop at the hobby store that funds conversion therapy."

This seem like such a low bar for people who are supposedly allies to clear - yet here folks are.

The fediverse has come this far despite being very capital-constrained.

What if that constraint were lifted?

If you have a project or idea (for- or non-profit) that helps build or grow the fediverse and would benefit from funding, I hope you'll apply here. Thank you!
