Big update: The Internet Archive has launched a new version of GifCities, the search engine for vintage GeoCities GIFs. It's now easier to explore the glitter, chaos, and charm of early web animation.
Search better. Share better. Blink more.
This is the 100 year anniversary of humans having an idea of what the heck the sun and all the stars actually are. If you had asked a leading astronomer in 1925 what the sun was, they would say that it's basically the same as Earth, but very hot.
In Cecilia Payne's doctoral thesis she was the first to say, from spectral data, that the sun was overwhelmingly made of hydrogen and helium.
It was later described as "the most brilliant PhD thesis ever written in astronomy".
Random exploration mode on Marginalia Search should now return drastically fewer dead links, since I've integrated the new website aliveness checking data into its selection.
Earlier I had to go through all links manually and check if some had died, was a chore and a half so it didn't happen as often as it should have π
My first submission for #FediBlock: today my account was the target of abusive messages that included: violent language, threats, incitement to self-harm, videos showing a woman being harmed, nazi imagery, racist slurs and misogynistic attacks.
Iβm including the list of instances (not the actual horrid messages) so that you could block them too, if you wish to:
detroitriotcity .com
loli .church
poa .st (the WORST offender)
shitpost .cloud
tsundere .love
(I put a space between the domain name and the extension, on purpose)
Thank you for everyone who provided advice about how to deal with this π
I wish I had half the media savviness and foresight as Greta Thunberg. She knows exactly what she is doing. She predicted what would happen to her and the rest of her team. She knew she was putting her body and life on the line. She was betting on this. She used the attention she got from her climate activism to bring attention to other causes. She was the perfect person for Western media to elevate. She was white, a girl, mostly harmless. Embodied the kind of passive activism that corporate media wanted to celebrate. Giving the opposition a voice without any real ability or threat.
Now she has taken the platform they have given her and made herself a threat. She is supporting causes that directly impact the imperial way of life and she is doing so in ways that are less passive. They only wish they could take away all the media they have already given her and fame they heaped onto her when she was a harmless teenager.
Be prepared for stories to come out to that questions her integrity as a person. They will sling mud, and cause us to question her as a person, her values... they will find ways to alienate her from our hearts because that is the most powerful weapon they have against her.
Don't fall for it.
Hey y'all, I started @AltAfterDark, inspired by the wonderful @alttexthalloffame! The goal is to encourage good alt-text on NSFW image posts, as well as showcase shining examples of spicy alt-text and accessible content.
Why? Because #AccessibilityIsHotAF, that's why.
What are our goals?
- Promote quality adult content that focuses on consent, community, and accessibility (great alt-text, proper CWs & hashtags) β€οΈβπ₯
- Reduce the prevalence of porn-bot and repost accounts that post without subject consent, without alt-text or CWs, engage in hashtag spam, and lower the safety / enjoyment of folx on Fedi π«
- Engage positively with the community and generally be wholesome-ish π
How will we do it?
- With well-vetted human volunteers.
- By leading by example.
- With the help if the community.
What do we need?
- People to make nominations and submissions for content.
- More visibility.
- More contacts with varied NSFW tastes.
Come join us π
