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!

Because of all the new users today (again):

Don't forget to enable Two-Factor Authentication in Mastodon in your settings.

Look. I’m here because I’m too ugly for Instagram, too interesting for LinkedIn and have too much disdain for my extended family to use Facebook.

I will give big points to the first news organization, big or small, that:
* Sets up an instance for its newsroom,
* Sets up an instance for the community it serves,
* Enables rel=me for staff,
* Creates a boost-on-Mastodon sharing function,
* Enhances that function so headlines/images (with alt-text) appear in the toot,
* Covers the Fediverse as more than a geeky curiosity or alt-Twitter,
* Listens to and joins in the conversation here.

Today seems like a good time to remind you that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment bars anyone from holding office who has “engaged in insurrection” against the United States of America.
