Hi folks,

Just to let you know, I'm switching instances. It'll be @[email protected] shortly

The week before Thanksgiving Twitter fires 4K workers, Amazon fires 10K workers, Facebook fires 11K workers, and Disney plans thousands of layoffs—all while US Billionaire pandemic wealth increased an absurd $1.7T.😳

A reminder that billionaires don’t create jobs—they exploit workers.

Tax billionaires. Unionize workers.

@QasimRashid imagine if Twitter had been unionized. Probably Elon wouldn't have bought it, but if he did, there wouldn't have been mass chaotic layoffs and loyalty oaths. The company wouldn't be teetering on collapse. We'd all be better off.

MRI Reveals Significant Brain Abnormalities Post-COVID

In the spirit of an #introduction, as suggested by my server.

I am a scholar of race and slavery in the Atlantic World from 1450-1850. I'm glad to see so many #histodons on here already!

I'm (hopefully) finishing a book tentatively titled "Captive Archipelagos: The Enslavement of Indigenous People in the Greater Caribbean, 1492-1792."

Interested in #climatejustice, saving democracy. #antiracist and #antifascist

Also #team500! Write 500 words! Edit 5 pages! Post and receive moral support!

@brontyman nice appeal to common sense there at the end. I wish we lived in a world where recommendations were enough
@markwyner hi, friend :gnomeHey:
Here we go. This is my
#introduction.
German/French mother of 2, living in the south of Germany #theLänd, suffering from #LongCovid
since 2020. Interested in #PublicHealth + #HealthPromotion in which I have an MSc. I know #CovidIsNotOver Love #breadbaking #permaculture #UrbanGardening #aquaponics.
Although I have a BSc in economics my ♥️ beats for the idea of #EconomyForTheCommonGood + alternative forms of trading/producing goods.
Last but not least, I'm an #antifascist + can't stand #injustice.
Here’s an #introduction for the curious: I count myself among the #histodons and #anthrodons by training and temperament, interested in the relationship between #translation and #empire in the #earlymodern #mediterranean. My current work is at the interface of #archivalstudies and #dh, with a specific focus on #diplomacy, #diplomatics, and #orientalism. Fine print: Professor and chair at @UofT / @UTSC, #antifascist, #propalestine. Views expressed here are my own. 🙄
@jumpinJan @GiantRectangle It has taken me a while to get used to it but I'm following when I find someone interesting, following hashtags that interest me and I really like it now. May I suggest that you pop a bit about yourself in your bio (whatever you feel comfortable with) and maybe do an intro post and you'll soon find lots of interesting people too.
