@SofiaLemons thank you! You remind me of this precious comic: https://xkcd.com/1954/
Hey all! I'm an undergrad student with #psychology background. Not sure if I'll carve a career path in that direction, though. I'm unsure about where I am in life and a lot of other things, except for how passionate I am about learning and discovering something new, so here I am!
Since it's a rather intimidating instance, I suspect I'll be more active at my main account: @renata But I'm looking forward to participating in your events and following cool people 🙂

Hi, my name is Ken Hood. I'm a big fan of open-source software so coming over to Mastodon for social media made sense.
I am a teacher candidate ("student teacher") at University of Wisconsin Eau Claire (UWEC).
My content area is #English.
I am planning to graduate in the fall of 2018 after completing my student teaching semester. I will be licensed to teach English for grades 5-12 once I complete the program I am in. I am a #nontrad student. I am married and have 3 kids.
Yesterday: Hey, the start of the term is pretty ok, workload-wise. I’m not really stressed. This term may be ok.
Today, with 17 things on todo list of which I did maybe half: Crap, how am I so behind already? This term is gonna be rough.
"Want To Guarantee Net Neutrality? Join Peer-To-Peer, Community-Run Internet" an article published on FastCompany on how public, open and community-driven mesh networks are setting themselves as alternatives to big ISP corporations.
"In some locations, including large parts of Spain, this type of network is already operational. The Spanish Guifi network has more than 30,000 active nodes."
For or those that celebrate : Happy Christmas!
For those that do not: Happy Monday!

I called them at a very low point a Christmas years ago and they were a huge help and helped me get tf out.
"While some people will look to the current U.S. president as the source of this normalization, his administration is not the only location to push “both sides” rhetoric. Instead, we can also look to colleges and universities as sites that help both disseminate and normalize racist hate speech."

if you’re going to blame humans for not fitting into the use cases of your favorite toys, do everyone a favor and go back to hackernews and stop trying to give #infosec advice to real folks.
we have to meet people where they are, and sometimes those places aren’t ideal. maybe they have an abuser with physical access, or just can’t afford an iOS device. They still deserve privacy.
Spent lots of time in both the counseling center and the sexual violence crisis center with students this week. Makes me so angry to be in a meeting with colleagues and hear them talking about “lazy” students who party and don’t care about classes. Such a high % of my students deal with some mix of poverty, mental health issues, disability and illness. I can’t stand faculty complaining about students not caring about school. So many students endure such hell just in order to show up here.
