I believe the first #Fediverse #UrbanLegend is that you can post a thread where only the first post is "listed" and the others are "#unlisted" then your followers will only see that first post, which they can click to see the rest of the thread.

While this would be a sensible and useful way for "unlisted" to work, it absolutely is *not* how it works.

(Unlisted posts are only hidden from people on your local who don't follow you - followers still get them)

We at @OutForIndy are angry and disappointed to see that the UK government have followed through on their threats to block Scotland's #GenderRecognitionReform

This is an attack both on #TransRights and on #ScottishDemocracy - overruling a bill that past with a 2/3 majority and with support from MSPs in all parties.

Join us at Queen Elizabeth House, 19 January at 13:30 to show Westminster that we stand for our trans siblings and for our democracy. πŸ΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ ΏπŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ

The UK Government is over-ruling the Scottish Parliament on a matter of human rights. This is an outrage and a dark day for democracy in the UK.
Anyone remember when the #MetPoliceUK attacked the #SarahEverard vigil? No one has been held to account for that.

@scarlet thing is, white people may have experienced 1st and 2nd level racism, internal and interpersonal. But they never experienced 3rd and 4th levels (institutional, systemic).

Frankly they don't even believe it exists, and fantasize it as YA dystopian fiction. And that's by design.

I'm a Brazilian watching the debate in US, and when people talk racism, black people mean 3, 4 and white people mean 1, 2. They don't even use the same concepts.

@Bdellar @jessitron this book made me check for kids being around then ignore the traffic lights if it is safe. It's so good!
Last week a controversial anarchist Twitter personality was announced to have died in a knife attack. In actuality she never lived. She was the product of a serial catfisher who’s previously been run offline for sexting while posing as an anarchist woman. (This is also the first story I’ve written that emerged from the Mastodon community!) https://www.thedailybeast.com/serial-catfisher-posed-as-anarchist-sex-worker-to-tweet-about-15-year-olds
Serial Catfisher Posed as Anarchist Sex Worker to Tweet About 15-Year-Olds

Anarqxista Goldman was controversial in β€œlife,” tweeting about the supposed lustiness of underage girls. Her supposed death revealed her to be a hoax by a 54-year-old man.

It's depressing to consider, but I suspect the demise of skiing in the Alps will prove to be far more consequential to the rich world's awareness of climate change than news that one third of Pakistan is underwater.
