update from Reuters
"The Associated Press news agency, which had initially cited a senior U.S. intelligence official as saying Russian missiles had caused the blast in Poland, later quoted U.S. officials as saying initial findings were now that blast was caused by Ukrainian air defence missiles."



#Artemis I Update: We are extending the countdown hold at T-10 minutes while the launch team estimates how much work needs to be done. This means we will slip into the two-hour launch window, and will share a revised launch time when it is confirmed. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1jMKg…

Okay this right here is a big fucking problem I have with how many mastodonians engage with the critiques of mastodon by scholars of color and users of color:

masto.ai/@Pineywoozle/10935151…

The argument that history doesn't matter because we have an influx of users is unconvincing to me for a variety of reasons, which I'll enumerate below.

in reply to Dr. Johnathan Flowers

Here, I'm going to draw on Sara Ahmed and John Dewey: a history provides an account of where a thing is and how it functioned within the world that made it possible. A history also provides a record of the embodied habits of a space: it is what gives the space its shape and contour through the actions taken within it.

In short, histories allow us to understand the space and how we can and cannot move through it as well as the kinds of life the space supports.

in reply to Dr. Johnathan Flowers

This is important when you think about social media as spaces. So let's take Mastodon. The history of the ways that Black users have been treated, the ways that their instances have fallen, informs the future engagements of new Black users insofar as they indicate how Black users have been and will be positioned within a social space.
in reply to Dr. Johnathan Flowers

It also tells us something about how black users "unfold" and the points from which the space "unfolds" as a space.

To be clear, the treatment of Black users on mastodon, as indicated by the recurring cycle of discourse around CWs, quote tweets, and the policing of other ways that Black users make present their experience and identities, makes clear that the point from which mastodon unfolds is whiteness.

in reply to Dr. Johnathan Flowers

And the 'argument' she presents is bullshit, especially when you consider 1. the lengths the fedi community has gone to push out Black users specifically and 2. the silence of all the alleged good people she is alluding to.

One cannot say that history doesn't matter when a defining characteristic of the fedi up until now has been anti-blackness, which has been why so few Black users have stuck with the fedi until now.

That kind of conjecture is a big reason safety is such a concern, as so many people join the fedi. Bigots feast on 'progressive' whites giving the benefit of the doubt repeatedly.

Hack, bringing back "toot"

#Feditip
If you are admin of your instance but only via the web interface, you can modify the "Publish" button back to "Toot!" with the following hack:
1) go to server parameters, apparence, and then locate the custom CSS textbox.
2) Add the following CSS code to hackily replace "Publish" with "Toot" or "Pouet" or whatever:
.compose-form__publish-button-wrapper button {
text-indent: -9999px;
line-height: 0; /* Collapse the original line */
}

.compose-form__publish-button-wrapper button:after {
content:'Toot!';
text-indent: 0;
display: block;
line-height: initial; /* New content takes up original line height */
}
and voilà! (thanks to this answer on stack overflow stackoverflow.com/a/22054588)

Good luck. I hope I can watch the launch tomorrow together with my son (5 years). He knows the SLS from a big rocket poster, so he is eagerly waiting for the launch. He has to go to kindergarten at 8 CET, so please launch on time!


Incredible views as Cassada and Rubio work on installing the right struts for upcoming solar array upgrades. They will start cleanup and head back to the airlock after installing the right mid strut. 🔧🌏 #ISS
