Have you ever wanted to make a "you wouldn't steal a car" meme, but been disappointed with how lame the existing meme editors are?

I made a better one: https://youwouldntsteala.website/editor.html

"I wish there was a way for me to annotate why I blocked someone"

Warning! The new Thunderbird 115 and the most recent Thunderbird 116 betas are a mess in terms of accessibility, and the issues affect NVDA and JAWS equally. Even expanding/collapsing folders via Left/Right generates huge delays and triggers the CPU, and tabbing around the interface is a pain. The older Thunderbird 102 has none of this. Definitely avoid these releases if you want no hiccups. Just wondering what's happening on the other side of Mozilla.

I think we have given hateful and bigoted instances more than enough opportunities to change their ways and not be sources of abuse and harm.

So now they are going to adapt to us.

And expecting people to have a standard of basic decency and decorum is not too much to ask.

It's the bottom rung of the lowest ladder of human interaction.

I'm not a centrist.

I don't believe there are legitimate 'two sides' to the moderation and safety debate.

There are people who believe in safety, and there are those who will not respect the agency and boundaries of people they dislike and try to harm them because of it.

There is no 'middle ground' when it comes to respecting the autonomy and boundaries of another person. I am not 'negotiating' how much harm is acceptable.

If your version of 'fairness' requires marginalized and targeted communities to be 'reasonable' and 'understanding' of places that cause harm, you're in the wrong place.

#riscv diehards and nerds, has anyone you know of or have you yourself ever seen or used the XCalibyte risc-v laptop? I am thoroughly convinced that the whole thing was a vaporware crypto scam given everything the company stated. I am curious to see if I'm wrong, and if not, to track down what that story really is.

The #AltText and broader #Accessibility community has stepped up in a big way, and we've reached a good place to start on next steps for https://alt-text.org

We're still looking to connect with folks who might want to help in the future, especially those who can help us test the accessibility and usability of the project for those who rely on alt text.

Everyone can help by boosting, and following to get updates.

Een groep boeren op Schiermonnikoog die met succes de uitstoot van stikstof heeft verminderd, is bang om het eigen succesverhaal naar buiten te brengen.

Veel van deze boeren wordt door boeren op het vasteland verraad verweten. Dat zegt Jan Willem Erisman. https://www.bnr.nl/nieuws/binnenland/10490189/boeren-op-schiermonnikoog-wordt-verraad-verweten

Something we ALL need more practice with…saying “thank you but I don’t want to”

No searching for “excuses”

No overthinking

No anxiety

No guilt

Just a simple “thank you but I don’t want to”

And it’s literally always white women who seem to do this. I can’t help but feel like this fundamental misunderstanding of the concept contributes to the problems in white queer communities.

My understanding of intersectionality has always been that it is about acknowledging how multiple axis of oppression lead to situations where one can continue to be marginalized even as they share space with other marginalized folks who share one axis but not others.

To me this highlights the importance of, for example, listening to and amplifying BIPOC voices within trans communities, and making sure these spaces are safe for them and meet their needs as well as those of white folks.
