#Asia #mourns #Pope’s death: ‘His #humility brought many back to the fold of the Church’
"Pope #Francis’ constant call for #inclusivity gave the world a Church that welcomed all, especially those who yearned for #love, #mercy, and #hope.. he championed the #poor, welcomed #migrants, reached out to #LGBTQ+ #Catholics, and called for urgent #climateaction.. he tirelessly promoted #interfaith #dialogue & #peace, taking the side of the #marginalised, such as migrants"

Art, expertly imitating life again.

If this memory isn’t a perfect portrayal of the people “in” my life now.

(Except for the few good ones that still exist, and believe in me, you mean so much).

Ones who, like me, shared a common belief in supporting & advocating for a better #auspol fighting for the #disabled the #poor the #homeless and other #marginalised groups.

So y’all just worn down? Diffusion of responsibility? Nope, not that.

Apathy, perhaps?

Outlived my usefulness?

@edri nails it:
"For example, Meta now allows its users to refer to “women as household objects or property” or “transgender or non-binary people as ‘it’.” It now allows users to verbally attack LGBTQ+ people by stigmatising them as “abnormal” or “mentally ill,” and said that it would generally limit moderation. As targeting people based on their appearance, race, ethnicity, national origin, disability, religious affiliation, gender identity or sexual orientation, among others, are no longer prohibited, Meta’s new policy systematically legitimises and normalises the dehumanisation of people in the guise of ‘free speech’."

We should not call these platforms "social" media anymore. There is nothing social about them anymore...

Meta and X are going rogue. Here is what Europe should do now. - European Digital Rights (EDRi)

To solve the core problem, we have to curb the immense grip Big Tech has on our institutions and invest in independent digital alternatives.

Social media, like society, should be diverse. It should be full of equal opportunity, pride, and cultural learning. As a UK charity, we will never compromise on our support for marginalised communities or our belief in strength in diversity. #Diversity #Community #Marginalised

This topic needs to be discussed in greater detail. As we can appreciate, only so much can be put into a single post or thread. I have added a link to one of my blogs about this.

If policy changes are to be made, all groups, especially those #marginalised and #vulnerable communities, must be invited to speak, and you need to hear what we say. Listen actively.

Nihil de nobis, sine nobis or Nothing about us, without us!

If you come to fight, bring evidence.

We often tend to forget the role of #marginalised people in technologies.

Marginalised people feel a lot safer in computer circles.

See how almost all technologies ranging from wireless transmissions to compilers couldn't be possible without #women:
