I'm sad to not be livetweeting the brilliant Woke Coach at #WomenInAgile #WiA2023 (nor the rest of #Agile2023) but being in Florida is bad enough - not going to support the fascist Twitter app too. Follow me at any of the links in my bio or better yet, follow her! #BLM

Returning briefly to the hellbirdsite to share that I'm mostly no longer on the hellbirdsite. Links to find me on Mastodon, Project Mushroom, Post, and Spoutible are in bio.

It's getting better - I think Post makes a lot of sense as a news/media aggregator (with micropayments!!) and not much sense as a social site. Fine by me. Now it needs to attract more and diverse publishers.

Transphobes have found Post, there's no way to actually block accounts, and the content moderators don't work weekends.

So that's how the "civility" thing is going

20. Everyone's safety is important. And it should go without saying but the people whose personal safety is most at risk on this site are not billionaires who can afford private jets and private security.

Dear Teachers,

As some of you may know, if you have any students in your class who identify as Christian, they may ask to be excused from school to observe the Christian holiday of “Christmas,” more popularly referred to as Yom Christmas or Nittel.

This one you can only answer if you're over 35 (I mean 45, but I'm being polite).

Star Wars or Star Trek?

One of the cruelest things about Autistic/ADHD masking is that you learn to treat positive emotions as a warning sign that you're about to do something "wrong" and that it is therefore "safest for everyone" if you maintain a constant, low-key negative internal emotional state.

Hey fam! @MindsMatterSEA is fundraising NOW for Giving Tuesday & you can help us fund college app fees, summer program travel, family internet access, Saturday session lunches, and lots more we put into helping our students. Any amount is appreciated! https://t.co/o5eFSMCkD3

Everyone is high on https://t.co/vMPZ4Xy1kW right now. But I'm curious how diverse is the board? Who are they consulting? How are they avoiding the pitfalls of every other tech outfit ruined by tech bros and greed? Hopefully they're learning and building the right way.

I'm now on post dot news, NOT enjoying the Cis White "Civility" vibe currently. Waiting to see if the responsiveness on site feature development extends to inclusive community development. https://t.co/sKYsuXLRb6

DC's mayor just signed into law the most comprehensive transgender and abortion refugee bill in the USA!

They can't use ANY means to enforce anti-trans and anti-abortion laws against people fleeing states.

No cops, no jails, no warrants, no subpoenas, not even ink to paper.

@fuckyouiquit To every employee out there: if your boss/manager contacts you outside of working hours, don't answer the phone. You don't have to and there's no upside.

I consider it a personal failing on many levels that I'm only just now learning this 🙀 let the catching up begin 😻
