If you're not leading, building, contributing towards a culture of transformation in tech, you're deadcount.

A.I. photos are flooding social media and contributing to an Internet where we can't believe what we see.

Spotting A.I. 📷s is an important media literacy skill.

It takes a few seconds to spot a fake and stop the spread of disinformation. Let's learn how! 🧵(1/5)

that's right. i believe in

- fair wages so you can afford cool clothes
- right to housing, so you can store those clothes
- universal healthcare so you can be healthy and go outside

Come out of the closet and into the dance clubs!

They buried the lede on this new study. It's not that exercise beats out SSRIs for depression treatment, but that *just* dancing has the largest effect of *any treatment* for depression.

As a high risk person who had 2 family members come down with COVID it is a combination of luck and incredible discipline and sacrifice on my part. Avoiding large events, missing opportunities, feeling left out is a small price to pay to stay alive

@sigje Use a blender to puree frozen (or fresh) blueberries, sugar, and a few juniper berries, and then serve as a syrup with sparkling water. Substitute toasted fennel seeds for juniper, and sprinkle with fresh orange zest. Or swap in basil and lemon zest.
