I am researching the syllabi,
as an artifact that can lead to
greater understandings of cultural
transmission.
Do you have a syllabus from a class?
Course notes to go along with it ?
Why, even readings and such?
Well, I need them all, trying to make a
#searchablesyllabi
database, so that students,
professors, teachers, moms,
administrators, whoever,
can see how it is that ideas are transmitted
CURRENTLY,
with an eye towards representing historical developments.
send me ur syllabi !

trip sitting ? no, roomate drops acid, decides the lack of waterproof pants warrants anxiety, walks off into the rain on Acid. meanwhile I haven't had anything but delicious pizza and a good stiff drink.
After hearing about the IPCC report's findings,
it feels good.

There was a new person at cribbage club tonight who had a board *tattooed on her arm* so she could play anywhere with just cards and a marker and I’m still not over it

(S)teal this file ? <3 for emacs and org mode in particular
So I'm trying to gain some skills with emacs org-mode.
Figured it might help to have two versions of the same document open,
so I could see what it looks like as a plain text document, and one that's actually in org mode.
:) If you look at the right half of the screenshot, yes, ... emacs is actually asking if I would like to "(s)teal this file", after patiently explaining that "another user is also editing this file in emacs". <3
does anyone know of a good handbook on reproducibility issues in academic research +
, ?
whatever word some other discipline voiced concern / consternation / praise
over ?

@tychosoft @alienghic @abbaxi Oh yes, I've read about that. Hopefully, if there's a blind person working in the city government, developers there will help out and push results upstream.

@abbaxi I'll definitely gather some and sendthem to you. I suspect that Gnome40 doesn't have many yet, but KDE seems a lot more promising ofa DE, maybe they keep track of them. And I've been asked to write a document that should unify UI expectations and rules for how a blind person would use a GUI. I'm definitely not an expert on UI design, but I’ll do my best if it helps FOSS
I bet, if I stole 5 vaccines, and was able to send them successfully to a major hospital in Haiti, that it would be worth the prison time.
I'm actually...pretty certain that it wouldn't be alife sentence, but that I'd save the lives of at least a few front line Doctors....
? Hey anyone else think that ending vaccine apartheid is real important ?
ugh....
....so... #end_vaccine_apartheid
Haiti doesn't have doctors or nurses, not one, with a vaccine.
Also...
...I got one yesterday, no amount of self-quarantine will have them send the excess vaccines to somewhere where people actually need them. (like 5? can you not inoculate FIVE hatians? by...fuck, next year MAYBE??)
SO...as much as I was like "take mine! give it someone who needs it!"...they didn't...so I got jabbed. :(
anyway, #end_vaccine_apartheid

@abbaxi @AnticsOfAnna "Double-Ended Disaster," title of my sex tape
There was only one question during the democratic debates (from a PBS newshour reporter, :) about violence against trans people. NOW, these two footballers, both came out. HAPPY PRIDE!!! (Nassib's jersey is the number one selling at the moment. Lesson: Life Get's Better Together #Queers_Inspiring_Action , or LGBTQIA)
Furthermore, this was celebrated publicly by the US executive chief:

question about cryptidsd
@abbaxi @swiff gab migrated to activitypub and was part of fedi for a little while, but a concerted campaign to defederate from them and everyone who was happy to federate with them succeeded in isolating them. There are still quite a few edgy 4chan spinoff communities around, I think freespeechextremist and shitposter.club are a couple of the more notable ones, but most of the good instances use the fediblock hashtag to keep them away
