July is #DisabilityPrideMonth

Wait, disability ... pride? Why would someone be proud to be disabled?

One of the most important aspects of disability pride for me is to counter the shame. The shame of “being different,” the shame of “needing help,” the shame of “being a burden,” the shame from the humiliation and abuse I have experienced.

Disability pride gives me the chance to counter the shame by saying, “I am disabled, and I am proud to exist and be who I am.”

@johncarlosbaez Thinking about your molecule limit. How small would fragments need to become to be classified as a 'metallic' atmosphere and it'll just be extra drag on satellites?

@be @sam my cousin in-law has a little business cleaning people's split system reverse cycle air conditioners. These are very common in Australia and over the years they get a lot of dirt and mould on the radiator fins.

@arielkroon no, but compare articles before and after chatgpt, and domain specific ai algorithms and i-can-do-anything ai algorithms.

@Phro my wife is currently doing a sewing class with a friend. They firstly made a pillow case and then a tote bag, apron, and then a skirt. We got my grandmother's old sewing machine and I recommend trying to get a second hand one.

@astrid it's basically a perpetual machine. A sheet that captures free energy streaming through the solar system.

@arielkroon I don't know your building standards but I've been sealing up all the drafts in my house. If you can find it locally, this product may help. bunnings.com.au/blauberg-150mm

Calling all map and train nerds in #Perth (who'd imagine that there'd be a crossover?): this Sunday is the opening of the new railway line Q120871210, and there's going to be an #OpenStreetMap meetup and travelling mapping party:

Most petitions don't have much impact, but if this European Citizens Initiative on banning conversion therapy reaches 1 million signatures by Saturday it will mean that it will be discussed at the European Parliament.

Last week there were about 450,000 signatures. It is now up to 620,000 and could easily reach the target if it is shared widely.

Please sign and share. eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/
