Mastodon is really having a moment in mainstream news coverage. CNN, BBC, TIME, etc.

The influx of users will continue at an alarming rate. Remember to be welcoming, and kind, and positive, and helpful.

This isn't just an opportunity to improve the idea of social media, it's an opportunity to shine a wonderful light on #opensource.

Please boost as a reminder to the many, many creators who design pins and flags for literally every other identity, for people who forget or don't know that we are failed by the medical system the instant we're born, and for the rest of our lives, again and again.
We go into the hospital and say we're cis or trans, because otherwise we WILL be refused treatment out of hand.
Intersex People Exist, and we have a place in pride.

We love freedom 2, the freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others. Boost this post if you LOVE this freedom, and want others to know about it, too! https://u.fsf.org/3m4

Is it me or are offices just not made for humans?

If my brother and I even had a slightly more genderneutral upbringing

- instead of being constantly bombarded with "girls are good in languages and bad at math, while boys are good at abstract thinking (??) and working with their hands" nonsense -

then there's a good chance that I would have moved towards #engineering and my brother towards anything but construction. Alas, he got a technical degree and now hates his job, and I got a uni degree and now look up #woodworking in my free time. 🤷

LibreOffice 7.0 includes many under-the-hood technical improvements, such as the Skia graphics engine with Vulkan support. Thanks to Luboš Luňák, CollaboraOffice and AMD for making it happen!

Dear everyone outside the US,

I promise that there are still good people in America who:

1. Hate our government as it currently stands.

2. Are taking this pandemic as 100% serious and wearing masks

3. And hate people like this: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8609527/Woman-claiming-Freedom-Breathe-Agency-filmed-threatening-grocery-store-worker.html

Please don't judge our entire country off of the orange asshole in the White House or Karen's who think wearing a mask is equal to taking away rights.

Signed,
A concerned US citizen
