The leader of Scientology is being sued for child trafficking and exploitation. Feels like this should be a bigger story.

Delighted that @zachleat found me on Letterboxd. Any more Letterboxd buddies out there?

Easy #webperf permalinks w/ the Perf Panel.

One of the most influential rap songs of all time (Ether) contained a homophobic slur. The rapper (Nas) took a lot of criticism for this decades later. So he now performs the song without the slur, and re-released the track without it.👍🏿

Lizzo released a track with an ableist slur. She took heat for this on Twitter too. She apologized, and re-cut the song without the slur.👍🏿

Conversations about what a person said, are valid.

You don't get "cancelled" for mis-speaking. It's the doubling down.

As a human rights lawyer who has done extensive immigration work, let me make something absolutely clear.

Asylum is legal immigration.
There's no "port of entry" requirement.
There's no "visa" requirement.
There's no "first country" requirement.
You enter the United States, and you apply for asylum.

Because asylum is legal immigration. Period.

Period.

This might not be the most uplifting "2022 wrapped" list - but we hope it helps teams prioritising #accessibility in 2023 to find and fix the most critical accessibility issues we found over hundreds of accessibility reviews in 2022.

Here's to a more #inclusive 2023! Stay safe and merry holidays 🎉

Interesting comment on Hackernews regarding a possible scenario/long term risk should Mastodon threaten the corporate sphere of social media.

I took a few minutes to write up some notes on how Mastodon is different from Twitter for some friends: https://johnresig.com/blog/twitter-mastodon/ Maybe this can be useful to you all, as well? (Although I suspect that if you're already on Mastodon it's a bit preaching-to-the-choir.) I'm excited to become more active in this community!

Mastodon is a gateway.

So, the European Union has set up its own Mastodon instance, EU Voice, as an official channel/platform for all its many institutions - what a great initiative https://social.network.europa.eu/about

Never got much traction on Twitter, so here goes on Mastodon: anyone who can speak English fluently, but also knows some #Greek, able to narrate an audio book? As itʼs a manʼs story in the first person, a voice identifying as male is preferred. Paid gig.

I've created a small, incomplete, list of instances with moderators of color.

The list and suggestions became to much to keep up on my own, so here is a Google document, https://docs.google.com/document/d/12pTmSMpq8lMYyYlHT25DgTmdMmE6ysUyRHGiq-E4XdQ/edit?usp=sharingp

Here's how to move accounts and take your followers with you https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/
