Good article about the suppressed contributions of women in science. While I would optimistically like to think that most people know about Rosalind Franklin's contribution to the discovery of the structure of DNA now, the problem goes much deeper.

Calling all #Fediverse admins of instances in the #EU. The #CopyrightDirective is coming, we need to show the MEPs how massively the EU Internets will be affected.

We are preparing a list of all EU-based #Pleroma, #Mastodon, #GNUSocial, #Peertube, #Funkwhale, and any other instances.

Please *contact me*. All I need is the domain name, which EU Member State it's located in, and the rough topic of the instance. Approximate user count welcome, but not necessary.

Please help. This is important.

Fediverse, I need your help. Do you know any person of color who wrote on race and racism with a materialist perspective?
Boost appreciated.

En 1880, dans les Hautes-Alpes, un menuisier cache un récit autobiographique sous le plancher qu’il était en train de poser dans un château. Sachant qu’il ne sera pas lu avant cent ans, il se livre et n’épargne personne dans le village, offrant une peinture acérée des mœurs de son temps. #histoire #menuisier #conférence https://youtu.be/WLhZn90L1kw

We've almost ruined videogames and the internet by filling it with #women in what I like to call 'digital white genocide', but this is only the beginning.

The next step: #women in the KERNEL; women in the CLOUD; #women in your PHONE and on your SERVER. Nowhere will be safe!

Would 5 people be willing to back up my UK Parliament petition to provide a Nest-like scheme for installing sound insulation in the homes of low income people for free?

Tiny bits of blue pigment in a medieval female skeleton were a big discovery for scientists, suggesting that women — not just monks — worked on making lavishly illustrated texts.
