"Autistic people don't have empathy!"
"Do autistic people even have emotions?!'
...Sound familiar? Let's talk about one of the most prevalent and hurtful misconceptions surrounding autism... (1/2)

If Mastodon keeps getting this sort of support, people won't have much reason to remain on Twitter.
We Have Added a Mastondon Server--The Internet Archive
The Internet Archive has recently set up its own Mastodon server– a federated/decentralized open source social media package– that has garnered lots of attention lately.
We use it in ways that we use twitter now (we are not leaving twitter):
• @internetarchive@mastodon.archive.org for events, announcements, and fun things
• Staff accounts (e.g. my account @brewsterkahle@mastodon.archive.org) for, well, whatever.
Why? We need a game with many winners, not just a few powerful players.

With the help of @tty and @d6, we've found a non-intrusive way of adding metadata to #uxn roms, so external programs can see some additional details about the program and also display an icon.

Now that #BBCWales HQ's have fully moved from #Llandaf to Central Square in #Cardiff one of the things I used to love doing was walking up to the #village at lunchtime and spending time at Llandaf #Cathedral it's an incredible place to just think and people watch! (most recently King Charles!)
Just happened to be walking back to work when Isaw this shot through the wall and had to take the shot!

There's a bit of a storm happening around the criteria for joining fediscience.org - the Mastodon instance for scientists, on which I'm hosted.
It's been noted that the requirement to be a publishing scientist (who has published in the past 5 years) will exclude many junior scientists, retired sciences, and those who have maybe switched to teaching.
I agree with these concerns and wonder if the criteria can be changed to be more inclusive?
I think there are many good reasons why scientists may not have published yet or may not have published in the past few years.
I don't think such people should be unwelcome on fediscience.org and believe the current rules are hence overly exclusive.
I really hope that the rules can be changed to be more inclusive and allow this instance to become a diverse and welcoming home for all scientists.
I appreciate that the hosts of fediscience.org are welcome to make whatever rules they want.
However, I think we need to be mindful of the inclusivity of the spaces we create, maintain, and implicitly support. I recently donated to the upkeep of my server. However, if the @admin team decides not to revisit the rules, then I may look to change server as supporting diversity, equity, inclusion, justice, and belonging are vitally important to me.
still finding my way.
But struck by how much I *loved* the principles @Gargron stood for, therefore thrilled to get spot on .social
While I fear missing out on @fediscience.org discourse
It is important for me to do #SciComm beyond publishing scientists... (#Policy #Public ).
But moreover... a major question based on the entry criteria are... where do #ECRs or #PGRs go if haven't published yet? What about the aspiring students?
Do you think that the principles that you have heard are properly implemented on mastodon.social? Do those principles create a space where bad actors can be removed? Many old guard admins are hesitant to fully federate (typically it's "limited") with that instance because it's thought to be too big to moderate properly. In the larger view of the fedi it could be thought of as a landing pad, where folks must migrate from in order to fully embed themselves into existing networks.

These mini articulated skeletons were party favors, given out to guests at Roman feasts as a reminder to enjoy the pleasures of the day, for death would soon come.
The bronze figures, which ‘danced’ when shaken, were called larva convivialis, (banquet ghosts), and were made 25 B.C.– 100 A.D.

in reply to Newtsoda • • •Wait, really?! Allistic people don't empathise by sharing similar stories?! Is that why people tell me I'm being rude by comparing something serious to something thrivial I've experienced? I legit do it to show that I have a point of reference and understand their pain ... wow ... my mind has been blown ...
How do allistic people even communicate empathy then? I actually don't known? ...
