Gonna be migrating from here to mastodon.lol
Today is #LGBTQSTEMDay ! A day to celebrate all the LGBTQ+ people who work in or study science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. I’m proud to be a part of a worldwide community of amazing people doing amazing things!

LGBTQ+ kids deserve to grow up in a world where they aren’t bullied, where they can be authentically themselves, where they aren’t outed by teachers, where politicians aren’t constantly attacking their rights, where they can have gender-affirming care without gatekeeping, and where they can live their happily ever afters.💖🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🦄

I would argue that there is at least some misinformation in the linked article as well. RFMA doesn't mean gay couples can get married anywhere - states have the right to refuse to license such marriages. And while some folks may be able to drive across a state line to get a license, that is obviously not possible for everybody. The only reason the law is passing is because it's largely symbolic. If it had actual teeth in it, Republicans would never vote for it. https://journa.host/@ashton/109355064745392837

There is a lot of misinformation out there regarding what the Respect For Marriage Act will do and won't do. This article explains it well: "Progressive Critics Are Wrong About the Senate's Landmark Marriage Equality Bill" https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2022/11/vote-on-marriage-equality-senate-gay-rights-win.html

Mastodon

We blocked mastodonapp.uk, because they're housing twitter TERFs and being shitty.

If this causes problems for you, please take it up with their admin (but not from this instance, because they're blocked.)

We're all gonna need this sooner than expected so here is my proposed APA 7 style citation format for citing a Mastodon post

Lastname, F.M. [@[email protected]] (20XX, Month DD). Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut ... [Mastodon post]. Name of instance. [URL of post]

As with the format for citing a Twitter post, the correct reference list title is the first 20 words of the post, and the correct short title is the first 5, both using an ellipsis if necessary.

I’m boldly going where I haven’t gone before, which is right here at this site. Apparently this is a “toot.” I would appreciate a follow!
I was reminded last night that this is no time (or career) to be shy, so if you’re a #SFWA member and read/loved UNCANNY TIMES, I’d like to mention pointedly and not at all in passing that #Nebula nominations open today…..

#MedMastodon friends -

It's been a pleasure to watch our nascent community grow. I'm grateful to everyone who has contributed to building this virtual home for our community.

Today I launched a GoFundMe to allow you donate to support #MedMastodon. If you are able & willing to I appreciate it:

It's hard to estimate exactly how much we need to raise to cover future growth. Conservatively, if every active #MedMastodon user donates $1-2 we'll be set for 1-2 years.

Thanks
