20. Everyone's safety is important. And it should go without saying but the people whose personal safety is most at risk on this site are not billionaires who can afford private jets and private security.

Dear Teachers, As some of you may know, if you have any students in your class who identify as Christian, they may ask to be excused from school to observe the Christian holiday of β€œChristmas,” more popularly referred to as Yom Christmas or Nittel. 1/x

Everyone is high on post.news right now. But I'm curious how diverse is the board? Who are they consulting? How are they avoiding the pitfalls of every other tech outfit ruined by tech bros and greed? Hopefully they're learning and building the right way.

DC's mayor just signed into law the most comprehensive transgender and abortion refugee bill in the USA! They can't use ANY means to enforce anti-trans and anti-abortion laws against people fleeing states. No cops, no jails, no warrants, no subpoenas, not even ink to paper.

To every employee out there: if your boss/manager contacts you outside of working hours, don't answer the phone. You don't have to and there's no upside.

This feels like the common thread for shitty online activism cults to me - they aren't interested in building a world, just in punishment. If they are supportive to each other it's usually just insincere lovebombing to encourage each other to post harder

It’s NOT just the right. Yes, that’s the origin for anti-queer legislation, but those on the right are being emboldened by the terfy and gender critical rhetoric on the supposed left. We have to start calling it out among our β€œown” too.

The world’s richest man swallowed the largest civilian reporting tool in history because his plan for a centuries-long empire of infinite IVF babies and cars that only kind of do what they say do was being exposed. That probably shouldn’t be allowed to happen.

Transphobes really say that one detrans kid is worth more than 41 dead trans kids. Like that's what we are talking about here. That's what these "concerns" are over. They want to protect the occasional cis kid inconvenience at the explicit cost of dozens of trans kids lives.

Warning: tough subject ahead β€” repressions in Belarus. Proceed with caution. For 2 years, Belarusians have been suffering from unprecedented repressions. It's not that there haven't been any before, it's just that the scale was smaller, and prison sentences shorter. 🧡1/10

Read these 3 pages. I post them every so often because I think it is some of the tightest, wisdom-packed writing on managing complex systems ever. And almost every system is a complex system today, which is why cascading failures are swirling around us. researchgate.net/publication…

It's worth pointing out that all of this started with @MHarrisPerry. They did her dirty, everybody saw it, and they more or less got away with it. That set the precedent for how they could treat black women. But you know what? MHP holds it down every day on @TheTakeaway

"We need to forgive each other" is actually "You need to forgive me, so I can be awful to you again" and holy shit the click sound in my head as I typed that and my abuse alarms went crazy. Fucking hell.
