Hello Mastodon! I'm Meghan, a reporter at @gbhnews, Boston's local NPR station. I do a little bit of everything, including reporting on #disability and accessibility. Looking forward to connecting with people here. #introduction #introductions #gbhnews

@ScottSoCal They also have a bunch parked in an old closed down mall lot near me where they regularly film the dystopian Zombie Walking Dead series. At first I thought it was strange, but now it seems quite normal.

Today is the 102nd anniversary of a horror that took place in my hometown, the #TulsaRaceMassacre, in which several thousand White citizens and authorities attacked and murdered a still-unknown number of Black residents and destroyed 35 square blocks of "Black Wall Street." Never forget. #Tulsa #History #Race #Greenwood #BlackWallStreet

Please enjoy this logo for the Scalzi Family Foundation, my family's charitable foundation, which was created for us by artist Natalie Metzger. I think it's delightful.

“We just refuse to submit to that."

Florida’s legislature has signed a slew of anti-LGBTQ bills, but some local organizations are doubling down on celebrating Pride Month.

During Pride and every other month — people have a right to express themselves. https://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/florida-pride-concerns-anti-lgbtq-legislation-1.6859498

The whole AI thing will end when competing algorithms mansplain each other to death.

Nobody is trying to turn your kids gay or trans. We’re just trying to make sure they don’t turn out like you.

Sharing this email I received from March For Our Lives. So exciting!

It’s finally happening! 🎉🎊🥳

Four years of class, cram sessions, and waaaay too many skipped school days to join us in the fight for gun safety, David is officially graduating college as part of Harvard’s Class of 2023!! 🎓

In 2018, David was just another teenager in Parkland, Florida. Then, the unthinkable happened at his high school. He helped shine a light on that horrifying day and joined his classmates in sparking a global movement to end gun violence. Five years later, and a college degree wiser, he’s still with us in the fight and the movement is as strong as ever.

We couldn't be more thankful for his fierce advocacy for gun safety all while juggling the responsibilities of being a college student.

We want to wish David a happy graduation and let him know how proud we are of his accomplishments.

Thanks for joining in. We’ll compile everyone's signatures and messages so we can send David a special congratulations.

In solidarity,

I'm preparing a public talk & just popped my #Mastodon handle on the first slide.

It's a good look & I hope to see more of these logos at conferences & events.

CONCERNING: Some progressives are voting for a US default (shouldn't be used for pol purposes). Jayapal, AOC & Khanna: voting NO. Dems say they expect they will need to help provide numbers & are whipping key Reps by exchanging certain favors for their support: Japayal: internal whip count of the CPC’s 100 members found that “a majority” oppose the bill🚨, adding that “it could be“ enough for the group to actively whip against it.

I was going through my photos to delete ones I don’t need, and came across this. I hate to share.

@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic @actuallyautistics I don’t know about spoons, but I hate making calls, especially to strangers. And when talking to people I know there’s a lot of pauses. If having to leave a message I end up tongue tied.
