Taliban banning women from going to school has nothing to do with Islam. (Even in Saudi women have been attending college for decades.) It's 100% about controlling women the same way GOP banning reproductive freedom in US is not about Christianity, it's about controlling women (FYI no Muslim country, except for the Taliban regime, has banned girls from getting an education. What the Taliban is doing is an insult to the principles of Islam!!)

I love how many folks here that society stigmatizes and rejects are on here finding community and celebrating each other. I dig it. Still dipping my toe in the waters for safety before I share fully me, but so far so good.

I'll get there in time.

I'm a #SoftwareEngineer with over 20 years experience in the industry. I've worked primarily with #PHP, #JavaScript, and #TypeScript, but can also handle #Python and #Java in a pinch. I also have some experience with #AWS, #Docker, and #Terraform.

Boosts and leads are much appreciated.

[RT @RiegerReport]
BIDEN: The United States stands with the brave people of Ukraine, we stand with you, you've been a great leader, and ... we have a famous thing that occurs once a year, we pick the man of the year in "Time" magazine, you are the man of the year in the United States of America.

During a meeting in the Oval Office, Zelenskyy thanks Biden, Congress and the β€œordinary people” of America for their support of Ukraine. apne.ws/FSwbakD

Our Gods are practically self contained. They feed themselves, water themselves, worship themselves, you won't even have to clean their cage. They're the easiest Gods you'll ever look after, suitable for a beginner, a novice, a child, your grandmother. Try our Ancient Eldritch Gods today.

"Appreciation from my heart and the heart of Ukraine" to you and your leadership, President Zelenskyy, speaking in English, tells President Biden.

@drfunkybutt@mastodon.online The world is clearly not flat. I can see a hill from my house.
The world is lumpy.

It's possible they're not actively blowing you off they may just not be able to verbalize how they cope with it. They've dealt with it their entire lives. I'm sure they've developed all kinds of coping mechanisms at an age so early they didn't consciously think about it, they just did it.

I came out as gay in the late 1970s, in Utah. Yeah, I had to cope. No, I can't explain all the ways I cope, they've just been a part of me for decades.

Happy times! :blobhappy: Just got 2 request from big news platforms for their /bot/ account request (the automed ones I made years ago)

It's such a good sign more and more major news platforms are joining our family❀️

A great example! πŸ’ͺ :blobcathighfive:

Question:

Did any feathered theropods overlap enough with giant early ants to make a big ol' dinosaur giving herself an "ant bath" with giant ants a thing that happened?

@JenWojcik @talia_christine Just be careful to never say β€œHappy Holidays,” because that clearly means that you hate Christianity and want to destroy Christmas.

nice to meet all you doctors and engineers, I’m an underemployed gremlin with no car and I get all frantic if I can’t find my vape pen

My office desk plant tried that, but I came to work armed with scissors and successfully fought back. It won't be trying that again, but I kept the scissors, just in case.

Our monstera is getting huge and it’s growing tentacles and my wife says they are β€œair roots” and I don’t know that sounds like something a plant growing tentacles would tell her to say.
