Instagram and Facebook have recently blurred, blocked or removed posts from two abortion pill providers. Instagram also suspended the accounts of several abortion pill providers and hid the providers from appearing in search and recommendations. nyti.ms/4h3PF1x

If someone asking a powerful person to show kindness to those without power offends your Christianity, your Christianity would offend Jesus.

Bezos spiked the Washington Post editorial endorsing Harris, saying that the paper needed to stay neutral to maintain the trust of its readership.

Now the Washington Post editorial board is out with a piece urging Congress to rubber stamp nearly all of Trump's cabinet nominees

Copied (with permission) from a discworld group I’m in if anyone can help even if it’s just a share
Hogfather million to one chance search Hi everyone, this is a huge longshot but wondering if any of you lovely folk might be able to help. My partner just told me that her dad (who sadly died more than 20 years ago) gave her a hardback copy of Hogfather, but it got lost in one of her moves not long after he died. I doubt we'd ever find it, but it would be an amazing New Year miracle if we could discover it and I could buy it back if it's still out there. It's signed in the front cover "To Anthea" and probably says from Dad or similar. Like I say, it's a million to one chance... Thanks for reading.

PSA to Melbourne women, particularly those in the south eastern suburbs.

Be aware of a Caucasian male in a plateless grey sedan following women. It appears he may be using air tags to track vehicles.

Multiple incidents have been reported to police.

Watch this.
Show it to your sons. Misogyny and patriarchy are rising. Every time a student disrupted, disrespected, or threatened me, it was a white male. At my diverse urban university, they faced consequences: tossed out until they apologized. Women, stand in your power.

Can report there is still no opt-out. I'm part of a team of #milhist scholars that has voided its contract for a 4th ed of American Military History with Routledge because T&F sold out to Microsoft rather than protect its authors' IP. 🗃️ #academicsky www.thebookseller.com/news/academi...

The first day off I take, our custom deployment tool that I inherited from the last developers stopped working.

IT removed .net 7 from the server without checking if it was used.

It’s not like I have enough on my backlog let’s add that too I guess.

Lots of people joining Bluesky again! Welcome! Whether you just joined, or you created an account decades ago and are gonna start posting now, here are some tips to enhance the experience. Share widely for all newcomers 🦋
Tips for moving from Xitter to Bluesky Before you start following people, fill out your profile! Bio, PFP, banner, and post at least 5 to 10 things. Just reuse your top 10 banger tweets—recycling is encouraged! This way, when people see you followed them and they check your profile, they’ll know what you are about and might follow back. Turn off NSFW filters in Moderation > Content Filtering Find your friends using a tool like skeet.labnotes.org or Sky Follower Bridge. Not perfect, but they’ll find the majority of the people you were following. Turn on “show posts from my feeds” in Settings > Home Feed Preferences. This will add random posts from them to your main feed, but tweaked to your liking, no ads and BS. I recommend the Catch Up feed (kinda like a “best of”). Tweak Reply Filters to something that works for you, also at Settings > Home Feed Preferences. This shows replies from people you follow to anyone else on your main feed... (ALT text too long, continues in comments)

Inclusion of disabled people in education is one of the great triumphs, even if it’s partial and contested form, of modern education. And a certain kind of academic despises this advance.
cjdenial.bsky.social Cate Denial @cjdenial.bsky.social · Oct 23
Times Higher Ed has a column today about getting rid of accommodations for students with disabilities. It is breathtakingly ableist. It argues for the exclusion of people with disabilities from higher ed. I am not linking: it's click bait, but you can see the opening paragraph below.
"Giving students accommodations is a disservice to employers. Credentialing is a key good offered by universities by giving some students more help than others undermines it, says Justin Noia. October 23, 2024. Justin Noia. Recently, one of my students requested the use of a personal "memory aid" - a pre-written notecard - in an exam. According to my institution, the accommodation was "required for equal access," even though a memory aid obviously undermind the evaluation's major purpose: to text the student's ability to recall class content. I had to grade her exam like everyone else's as *if* she hadn't used a memory aid. Her grade, therefore, was a lie."

I've never worked for a company more scared of technology than my current employer.

I'm a dotnet web developer who's not allowed to develop web solutions.
