It's pure coincidence that Elon Musk just happened to erase the entire record of how twitter was used to organize and share photos and video from Arab Spring, right?

@BlackAzizAnansi Not to mention years and years of posts about things like Arab Spring have been mass deleted in recent days. We’re losing *history* because Elon doesn’t want to pay for storage.

Dating someone who doesn't think trans women belong in the same spaces as cis women or anything else along those lines?

You got some major changes to make if you want to be someone who's accepting of trans people

Veertig jaar geleden, op de nacht van 20 op 21 augustus 1983, werd de 15-jarige Kerwin Duinmeijer vanwege racistische motieven vermoord in Amsterdam. De dader, een 16-jarige racistische skinhead, had een tatoeage met '100% white', noemde Kerwin het n-woord, en bracht de Hitlergroet. Desalniettemin verklaarde de rechter dat racisme geen motief voor de daad was.

Ondanks dat Kerwin geen gerechtigheid heeft kunnen krijgen in de rechtbank, heeft zijn moord grote impact gehad. Het maakt pijnlijk duidelijk hoe gevaarlijk de excessen van extreemrechts en racisme kunnen zijn. Daarom dient zijn moord op alle manieren mogelijk herinnerd te worden.

In het Amsterdam Museum aan de Amstel is een tentoonstelling te zien van de gebeurtenis. Daarnaast pleit Amsterdam BIJ1 voor een gedenksteen voor Kerwin en is er een jaarlijkse herdenking in Amsterdam die wordt georganiseerd door de Stichting Vrienden van Kerwin: https://www.facebook.com/vrienden.vankerwin/

Still can’t work with online social groups that mandate using our legal names instead of our net names, because “we need a real identity”.

My net name is my identity, you weirdos.

Fyi if you're a cishet and you don't actively stand up to transphobic / queerphobic relatives I personally consider you not a decent human being

Part of the reason I started this instance was so that I and anyone who chooses to join me could talk freely about things that not supposed to be talked about in Japan, on Twitter or otherwise.

Racism is a problem in Japan. It's a problem in the US. It's a problem in Europe. It's a problem everywhere.

A very unique set of circumstances occurs where people *from other countries* come to Japan and maintain racist beliefs. The same kinds of people who insist that racism doesn't exist (or if it does, that people like *me* are the ones who perpetuate it) take their beliefs from home, go abroad, sometimes to countries that do not have significant discussions or understandings concerning racism, and probably feel even freer to spout their hate than they did back home.

Here, no one will challenge them. Especially in a country like Japan, where "politics" aren't often discussed in public.

Honestly, how can any public health professional say with a straight face, "Sure, the COVID vaccine only lasts for six months, but most people aren't vaccinating, so not only are we not going to recommend getting vaccinated twice per year, we're not going to even allow it for the people who want to."
Since when is one person's healthcare supposed to be dependent on whether other people are willing to take care of themselves?

This is a weird request, but I figure the worst I can get for it is silence. I'm totally #blind and have very bad hearing. To set up a device through its inaccessible software, I'm in need of a sighted person for about an hour and a half to two hours who can access a computer remotely, speaks and reads English, and can describe images and graphs. The person needs to be quite patient with follow-up questions, needs to be willing to repeat if needed, as well as be able to click on items and describe what happens on the screen. The person needs to be fairly detail oriented because some of the images appear to have arrows and other ways to expand them, according to the manual. Though I'm happy to be reasonable, I have no clue how much to offer as payment, this is my first request of this kind. I'm posting it because I know we have some blind people here who may be able to point me towards someone who has done this before and may be willing to do it for such a short period. Boosts welcome, indeed, they're appreciated. #hearingimpaired #software #A11Y #accessibility #remote
