in case you missed it: gitea is now owned by a for-profit corporation and we don't know what effects this may or may not have, and when an open letter was made asking them to Not Do That they doubled down
they also briefly mentioned something about a gitea DAO which is not inspiring confidence

Anti-racist course for Admins and Moderators, info inside!
OKAY, #fedimins! I got some good news.
There's an upcoming course with the Anti-Racist Classroom, for Community and Moderation. They had Admins and Moderators in mind for this course.
"Antiracism and Communicating Online
In this two part series, come together in community to discuss and problem solve the challenges of communicating and moderating online with an antiracist lens."
This classroom is aimed at white people. The courses are discussion based, so there's no sequential curriculum, You can sign up as long as you have a commitment to Anti-racism (that means awareness of your actions in this case, and willingness to keep growing)
The first cohort is on the 20th and 27th of December (the two parts, one on each)
You can view more info, and how to sign up here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1O9vfI-LkMQNpZSwNuvSZlJEYwXGlhktBJ1qzeoJFvLw/edit?usp=sharing
It's a paid course, and luckily there is a stipend if you can't afford it.
You can even donate some money to help other people attend the course.
I took my first anti-racist course with them (their 101 course) back in January this year.
If there's still interest, but these dates don't work for you, because it's short notice or anything else, they will be looking for more opportunities in the new year. So still let them know!

The two cows
Today is St. Lucia's day! I picked this tale, from the Hungarian Roma tradition, accordingly.
A poor man has two cows. On Lucia's night he goes out to guard them from wandering witches. Because on this night animals can talk, he overhears them complaining about their food and the way he treats them.
After that the man pays more attention to caring for his cows, and teaches others to do the same.

boostable version, donate to Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre, transmisia, fuck TERFs
Today, scottish Arch-TERF JK Rowling announced she's funded a competing rape crisis centre in Edinburgh that will only serve cis women, apparently as a fuck-you to the existing Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre, which has a trans woc CEO and has endured months of harrassment from TERFs to the point of temporary closure. Please show some support to the current trans-inclusive ERCC if you can:

#Mastodon has a LONG way to go to on Black #inclusivity. This is surprising because it’s appropriately focused on #accessibility and #LGBTQ+ inclusivity. We all need to uplift #BlackMastodon in every way we can. This will make Mastodon better and create a sanctuary for the Black community. Call out, fight, and report all micro-aggressions/racism witnessed here. Boost posts/accounts of Black Mastodonians. Use your #privilege to be a voice. This is our #responsibility. We’re #StrongerTogether.
