there's been some resistance to the idea of application signup by default on instances because it might kneecap growth of the fediverse overall but also like what if rapid growth is not something that is worth prioritizing

"Social media is so people are forced to listen to you" is such a sad opinion

Old ladies who publicly scold strangers for being assholes are the most punk it is possible to be.

we need to make changing your name common and accepted to help the poor cis kids who were saddled with names like Jack Dick and think they're just stuck with it forever

Remind all liberals, when the left looked like this the right supported gun control. There were also no mass shootings, no concentration camps, and wages reached the highest point in US history.

That classic Italian expression “my mommy”

Any system that doesn’t follow the structure of “from each according to their ability, to each according to their need” is unjust to those with lesser abilities or greater needs

And dispose of the thought of determining anyone else’s abilities or needs, now or ever. The solution will never be to categorize and individually diagnose every single condition that might affect someone’s ability, giving Latin names to the ones that you decide deserve respect and telling everyone else to suck it up and stop being lazy

Radical disability/neurodiversity justice is guaranteeing access to all material needs to everyone, and making all labor and activities voluntary and consensual. No one should have the power to decide what or how much someone needs, or what or how much someone should provide. No one should have the power to decide who’s “gaming the system” or “just being lazy”

The able-bodied, the neurotypical, and those who suffer from allism can feel free to boost this

It turns out, mapping the galaxy is a much more difficult job than anticipated, but using the light from Cepheid variable stars, which are stars that brighten and dim according to their size, we can pretty accurately tell distance. By using these stars, we can build a map of the distribution of stars in our galaxy...

So here's a 3D map of Cepheid variable stars, in our very own Milky Way galaxy, released in a survey done back in February. It reveals that the Milky Way isn't as flat as we thought, but rather a little bit warped or twisted. Although rare, it's far from unheard of to see a spiral galaxy with a wobble to it, and quite apparently our galaxy is among them.

Our galaxy is not flat, which means that a whole lot of art is out of date.

We don't know yet what caused the warping effect, could be a recent interaction or collision with another galaxy or even dark matter. At this point, it's still to early to tell.
