When I was a university student, I applied for unpaid internships to practice my interviewing skills. If I received an offer, I always declined. I did this to get back at exploitative companies by wasting their time while practicing my interviewing skills for free.

Por favor . ¿podéis difundir este mensaje?:
Busco en #Sabadell o cercanías, un centro de rehabilitación que admitan enfermos medulares, o alguna asociación que tenga rehabilitación.
Por favor, ayudadme, porque es muy urgente.

When folks ask me “Is this [thing] accessible?” I often respond with questions. To save time in the future and maybe help those folks with their own due diligence, I gathered those questions in a post:

una lástima que la iniciativa para cobrar impuestos a los ricos en europa apenas pase de los 260 mil firmas.

This is an example of taking something that’s true about power and instead of interrogating it, spinning it as a justification of power.

VCs are the gatekeepers of technology progress. You can’t compete with OpenAI without billions from tech bros. Does that make them geniuses or simply gatekeepers who decide who gets to be the disruptor? 🤔

IF YOU ARE EUROPEAN HOLY FUCK PLEASE SUPPORT THIS

This initiative calls to require publishers that sell or license videogames to consumers in the European Union (or related features and assets sold for videogames they operate) to leave said videogames in a functional (playable) state.

To be successful, a European citizens' initiative has to reach one million statements of support as well as minimum thresholds in at least 7 countries.

One thing I'd like non-admin users to understand:

If you see a person being dogpiled by bigots: don't immediately assume their instance admins aren't doing their job.

Here at strangeobject.space we subscribe to Tier 0 blocklists.

We also communicate with other admins regularly to keep abreast of bad actors.

We also contribute to an example off-site shared blocklist.

And I've been blocking racist, transphobic and unacceptable-paraphilia instances all week. And individuals.

We don't have tooling. We have a hashtag, and word of mouth. We have the reports from our users who've had to witness awful shit to bring it to our attention.

It can be a full time job and new instances are made all the time.

And when we mass block those instances as a community, they just make more. Users make new accounts to evade us.

And: some of you who are blaming it on the victims admins, are existing on poorly moderated instances.

The shit does not stop, and we don't have the tools.

Why is it always "she slept her way to the top" and never "he withheld career advancement and promotions in exchange for sexual exploitation"

It’s been a minute since I have been in the #mastodon world.

I was diagnosed with stage 2 grade 2 clear cell renal carcinoma. I’m 32 years old and soon to be 33. I was given the “go home and don’t come back convo” from my oncologist which is great.

My first scans on May 31st were clean, and my next ones are October 31st. Would love to connect with other #cancer folks here if there are any.

If this doesn’t apply to you, that’s fine, but boost if you can ❤️👏🏻❗️
