Please boost!
Recommended talk: Digital Sovereignty Is the New Influencer Status
This week I came across a post recommending the talk from Molly White (@molly0xff) at SXSW, talking about “Digital Sovereignty Is the New Influencer Status“.
The abstract of the talk is: “The real power move for creators is ownership and control of their work and livelihoods. This freedom is actually closer for more people than ever before! Learn from two fediverse futurists how decentralized social media facilitates better publishing, community, and business models. These speakers will cover the theoretical and the practical, including how the landscape is evolving in 2025, where creators should focus their energies, and how they might thrive with or without “walled garden” social platforms.”
It’s an interesting talk, where she’s talking about how (and WHY) she keeps her content mainly on her website and federates it to some social networks for discovery.

I not affiliated with the #Radboud #University in the sense that I am not an employee, nor a student.
I do however have e-mail conversations with people at the University and I would like to 'hear' from them once in a while.
It would be nice if our e-mail conversations where private and if the University would use (preferably their own server) Mastodon for example to spread their news.
So I signed this petition by @xot @bjacobs and @TamarSharon

Disabled women are more likely to experience abuse than their non disabled peers.
We’re often trapped with caregivers who treat us badly & lack the financial support to leave. We may also be physically dependent on the abuser for basic activities of daily living.
Many disability benefits are cut if you marry or cohabitate, which further enforces dependency.
For International Women’s Day help us fight for a universal basic income, better social and medical support and access so that we may regain as much autonomy as possible.
The autonomous Nahua community of Ostula, Michoacán, repelled a surprise attack yesterday by the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), who attacked the area of La Cofradía with exploding drones and gunfire. At the moment, there are no reports of injuries.

“The fight for digital autonomy is political. It's about whether we build systems that #distribute #power or concentrate it. This is about who controls modern #communication #infrastructure and whether a handful of #tech companies should continue to erode the global #conversation and our #social order in pursuit of unattainable, unrelenting perma-growth.”
Let me break it down like this: #GoogleCloud, #AWS and #Azure are BAD for your economy, BAD for your democracy, BAD for your #individuality and #autonomy - because it is historical fact.
The idea that #Kubernetes and #Docker containers are then also bad and shouldn't be used is idiotic.
Yes, we do want vertical AND horizontal scaling at times, but one massive multi national should not be sitting on it - in any country, because they can again funnel that data out - under the table even.
Despite attempts by local authorities to impede the vote, in a general assembly yesterday, the P’urhépecha community of Tacuro, Michoacán, voted 307 to 0 for autonomy: to directly administer their own resources, make decisions according to traditional forms of governance without political parties, and to self-govern.
Interesting ... and a bit depressing, but of course well known.
And i wonder if there s a corresponding study for #Europe ... Europe's #Dependency, #Autonomy

In my circle of friends I know at least two families with trans teens who are terrified they may have to flee the US to save their kids.
Please help fight for them.
I have absolutely no doubt the coat-hanger, or a version of it will be making a return. Safe medications that are also used for other purposes, like #mifepristone will be banned, should Kennedy be approved. #Autonomy #MyBodyMyChoice #ProChoice

Separately, a member of #MikeJohnson’s staff told #Loudermilk aides that #CassidyHutchinson could “potentially reveal embarrassing information,” acc/to an email reviewed by WaPo.

(If you want to join mastodon, beige.party or tech.lgbt or historian.social would all be decent starting places.
Yes, you can move server later. Yes, you can export all your posts and relationships.
No, it's really not as complicated as you first expect, from not having considered it before.
Literally just try, thank. I'm free to answer questions wherever if I can help.) "

"If any cis or questioning people in the comments are still confused why anyone would "want" (need) to consider different options, remember the context.
Most of us already DIY their mood and function with caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, paracetamol, and others.
These are all over the counter non-food substances with therapeutic and side effects.
Plus cosmetic surgeries and (unregulated) supplements for people unhappy with their ageing process.
The difference here is a group of people whom we can target, attack ("justifiably", not), and scapegoat to stall for time while avoiding real causes like inequality. "

What is Hormone Replacement Therapy? (Download and archive this video.)
A hormone is a chemical messenger made by your body to send signals to some or all body cells. Some hormones are made in other bodies or through chemical processes, like other medications.
HRT is a medical treatment for certain conditions, including menopause for some people, or precocious puberty for others.
(Mostly) Older men and women also use it to affirm their gender experiences.
HRT has certain side effects on your body. You may find these desirable or unpleasant.
Any medical intervention can have therapeutic effects and side effects. Different people experience different outcomes.
Do you want or need to biohack your hormone levels to affect your body?
Please learn more from your GP, family doctor, primary care provider, or another trusted clinician with access to your personal medical records.
Some of the waiting lists can be quite long, or involve more steps than you may expect. So ask early, please!
