Sandi Toksvig "I won’t stand by and let that happen. I will stand up each time and say no. Clearly, if you’re anti-trans, it’s because you don’t have any trans friends. If you did, you wouldn’t be able to look yourself in the [mirror] as you say these terrible things.""Please know I understand and I’m here. I don’t know for what, for a cuddle? I’m here to be the grandma lesbian who goes, ‘Let’s just keep going’."https://www.thepinknews.com/2024/12/17/sandi-toksvig-if-youre-anti-trans-you-dont-have-any-trans-friends/https://fedihum.org/@lavaeolus/113698478107307010

The best thing you as an individual can do is: Be kind - see: https://fedihum.org/@lavaeolus/113672655734329547There is no otherworldly spark of history, but there are people with agency (and there are moments of chance).And as people with agency it is our responsibility to fight a #BystanderSociety - see: https://fedihum.org/@lavaeolus/113681276822650473#histodons @histodons

@tkinias Another very interesting article (no paper^^):"There's a popular narrative right now that the people who aren't using AI – e.g. women – simply don't understand the technology. And once they do, they'll get on board. But Tanksley's research shows something else entirely: once Black students understand the technology – the racist and extractive logics that are fundamental to artificial intelligence – they are better prepared to resist and survive."https://2ndbreakfast.audreywatters.com/the-robots-have-brain-rot/

@lavaeolus @[email protected] @[email protected] Very long but thorough and high quality read. Feels like typst has come along nicely and probably has the pieces in place now to becomes one’s document generator/stack of choice. Very cool to see!I was very pleasantly surprised to see the Vega integration with nulite!!
