There’s a site I’ve been trying to recall for a while now: a design-specific discussion forum I was using maybe ten or so years ago. One of its distinguishing characteristics was that users could draw their own avatars using an icon editor—16x16, I think. New users were limited to black and white pixels only, but the more you used the site, the more colors you had access to. (They offered additional colors as rewards for other things as well.)

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

We take so many of these statements at face value because they seem to make sense in our #patriarchal system, and then before we know it we’ve got terrible, repressive, socially-accepted "knowledge."

It's important not to accidently write the sentence in this form: "Trump is appealing."

"The Japanese government is pushing ahead with a plan to make #Japan’s publicly funded research output free to read. This month, the science ministry will assign funding to universities to build the infrastructure needed to make research papers free to read on a national scale. The move follows the ministry’s announcement in February that researchers who receive government funding will be required to make their papers freely available to read on the institutional repositories from January 2025."

@BlueWaver22 Hey. re: your reply to Teri Kanefield...

There is NO difference between a response like yours and the trolling that so many of us (especially women) put up with on 🐦.

If we removed your name from this post, copied it, and put some right-wing troll's username on it, who would know the difference? And that is the crux of the problem because there should be a clear difference. Instead of promulgating hate and harassment, you should be promoting thoughtful commentary and respect.

Growing up, I watched reruns of the 1965 series #LostInSpace .

I've started watching the Netflix 2018 reboot.

It seemed futuristic until they mentioned needing a 11/16" torque wrench.

I'm pretty sure that even the US space program adopted the #MetricSystem a long time ago.

Martha-Ann Alito is married to one of the most powerful men in US govt. Per her husband, she has a right to privacy. But women who "lack powerful husbands don’t get to play the privacy card when they feel that their rights & dignity are under attack." https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2024/05/samuel-alito-flag-letter-jan-6-cases-wife-martha-ann.html

I know most of you are not as much of a dummy as I am, but there will be a few like me who didn't know:

The upskilling platform LinkedIn Learning (previously Lynda.com) for which pricing starts at about $27 NZD/month, is FREE with your Auckland Library card (and many other library cards too.)

So there you go.
As if I needed another reason to love the library.

We know the "motherhood penalty" is very real. Have any non-mothers felt discriminated against at work because it was assumed that you would have children (and thus caretaking responsibility) someday? If you have children now, did you experience this before you became a mother?
