I sat by an election denier on the airplane and he started poking me in the arm to be emphatic about his views on people stealing ballots secretly and the airplane was full and I couldn’t move anywhere so I started explaining the yellow fever in very great detail, all the way down to telling him about the bloody vomit that looks like coffee grounds and it worked. He stopped talking to me. The moral of this story is you can’t out-weird an academic; our toolset is too vast. #vastearlyamerica

"However, the Russian statement after the call made no mention of an apology. Instead, it said they emphasised the importance of marking the Nazi defeat in World War II, which Russia celebrates on Monday"

What are apologies worth if they are not made publicly, but in a secret phonecall?

I have encountered more image descriptions on Mastodon in 24 hours than I have in Twitter in a couple of years. Seriously. I'm not exaggerating.
As a blind person, this means a lot to me. If you read this and you describe your images, thank you so, so, so much on behalf of all of us. If you don't, now you know you'll be helping random Internet strangers make sense of your posts by typing in a few more words than usual.

New release! All bugfixes this time. New in this version:

* Fixed a crash when updating the photo library screen, and a bug where the photo library did not correctly scroll to the end.
* Favourited toots are now correctly highlighted again.
* Fixed a weird bug that could turn your timeline upside down.
* Fixed a text that was too long on iPhone SE.
* Swiping up from the Toot button on non-iPhone X devices should work a little bit better.

Finally, a new version!

This one has lots of stuff in it. I'm not going to be adding any more features now before the 1.0 release, and just focus on bugfixing and some minor polish for a little while.

Look, we can't control what anyone says. People are going to be what they are. But what we can do is set the tone for what is acceptable and what isn't.

If you let your members harass and demean people with no consequence, that's what you're going to be know for.

If you allow your members to make 'jokes' at the expense of marginalized communities, that is going to be your reputation.

We all have a say in the kind of culture we want to create.
