I have encountered more image descriptions on Mastodon in 24 hours than I have in Twitter in a couple of years. Seriously. I'm not exaggerating.
As a blind person, this means a lot to me. If you read this and you describe your images, thank you so, so, so much on behalf of all of us. If you don't, now you know you'll be helping random Internet strangers make sense of your posts by typing in a few more words than usual.

I made a little Python app to draw pride flags of your choice.

So far there's gay, bi, lesbian, trans, enby, pan and ace.

Still needs some bugs worked out, but it's a fun little program.

As a kid I always thought: "Ahh, things will be alright. Grown ups are just over reacting about the world and we have things figured out!"

But growing up you realise how untrue that actually is. It's a mess! The differences on this planet are just enormous and not in a "good way". We are fighting about the most silly things, inventing the most useless stuff and ruing our home in the process. Everyday something new is released and it feels like every single hooman must have every last of it all.

And the biggest frustration for me is that it feels like the people who "rule the world" are all old.. There are no younger people who even have a say in things, I know our gen is the cleanup crew and that's okay but stop making the mess bigger and bigger.

I feel younger people are much more flexible and global focussed, please give us a chance at least..

This is just what I think and feel and I'm prob wrong. At least I hope so

The Gouvernement of Nunavut announcing a territory wide lockdown on December 24th is rough. At least it solves whether or not I should go to a Christmas party.

In the last 15 years, I must have spent 10 or 11 Christmases alone and at work.

This year hits different though with the whole pandemic and this is the first Christmas I spend away from my wife. Appalling times we are living through.

Occasionally I try to get into the mind of a boss (like how would I resolve Kellogg or Deere strike) and how I would resolve the issues and somehow I always end up turning it into a co-op

@thelinuxEXP

I didn't know you had a Mastodon account, you should mention it more in your videos! It beats the bird site.

#Truth is important, but not as much as how we get to that truth. People used to believe, based on religions, that the sun rotates around the earth, until it was - despite fierce objection - disproven with science.

To dispel lies and promote truth, education is key. We must learn - and teach - that truth does not come from some popularity contest or word of the mouth, but from objective inquiries, observations, and analysis.

Looking at you, #truthsocial and #eunomia!

THE ULTIMATE BATTLE

> White teacher interrupts anti-racism talk to argue, swear at Black presenter in front of students

> a Montreal-area school board interrupted his anti-racism presentation about the history of the N-word and swore at him

> many people, including Quebec's premier, deny that systemic racism exists in the province

"Police are warning students and universities not to access Sci-Hub, an "illegal website" that allows users to download scientific research papers normally locked behind expensive subscriptions."

Very bad indeed. That name again: Sci-Hub. Remember it so you can avoid it. Ahem.

Barn Owls were probably thrilled when we finally invented barns.
