The fediverse is mostly lovely but there's some real rotters on it too blimey. When I first joined the fediverse it seemed like some magical wonderland where finally online social spaces could be exciting again. I felt excitement again. It all felt so great!
The longer we spend here I think the more we see the flaws in the paintwork. It's not enough to paint over it, of course. I guess this toot is to give thanks to the people doing something about the mould, and to ask others to pitch in

Want to boost but no image description D:

We need more love in ethics.

KIRA: It's good to know something. Everybody has to be made public.
ZIYAL: The question is, have you been waiting long? KIRA: That's up to you.
WORF: How are your orders, Captain? The food is not really dead?
NOG: If you want something done right, you have forgotten when we get rid of Frankie Eyes?

Whyyyyy won't my model be perfect?

Patient: Whoa what's wrong with him?

Blue-shirt Starfleet: Him? He's coming down from a bad Orb-of-the-Prophets trip.

Patient: What's that like?

Blue-shirt: Makes you see supporting characters saying nonsense words. Starfleet takes a "harm reduction" stance toward recreational orb use, so they don't just grind one up and snort it in their quarters.

Patient: Makes sense

The fediverse has a race problem, in that most of the users avoid critically engaging with their own biases regarding race and/or engage in behavior the perpetuate white supremacy.

That being said, as a community, we can't properly discuss fascism, climate change, politics, gender, misogyny or any other oppressive system sans the inclusion of race and white supremacy.

period.

I've been upset today

like literally just do quotas for race/gender in science and engineering. "b-b-b-but what if they dont *deserve* it" lmao you think what we have now is a meritocracy? working at any random tech co for 2 weeks would disabuse you of that notion

why do ORCIDs exist

why are you asking me to use adobe reader to make comments (as much as I like the APPROVED stamp)

Tfw someone should do a study
