The conference will feature thematic sessions on key issues such as epistemic authority in digital spaces, asymmetries in knowledge production, and the challenges of platform governance. We will critically examine how historical legacies and current technological developments influence contemporary knowledge systems.

The schools trying to teach America's kids to think like #ElonMusk

“We want to make something for the kids that we think are most likely to have a high impact, because we think those kids are underserved by the system, because there is this ideology of #equality or equity that's everywhere in #Education he said. “We're going to be totally fine if this thing helps the top 10% of kids more than it helps the bottom 10%.

We don't really care.”

All boosts appreciated (even from men 😜)

Genuine question for my fellow female-identifying Mastodonians navigating this late-capitalist era:

What is worse: a corporate charade that pays lip service to international women's day without any framework or system to uphold these values, or no charade at all?

#Reading Georges Erasmus' #memoir Hot'a! It's a walk through 50 years of fighting for #Indigenous #rights and the role community development plays in mobilizing for the good fight. #Canadians can learn a lot from this book especially if you weren't/aren't part of movements that stand for #equality and #humanrights,

A couple days ago I posted that #Trump took control of the Kennedy Center board, and one of the first things he cancelled was the Gay Men's Chorus of Washington concert scheduled for this summer.

Well they said fuck you we'll sing in the streets! 🙌 🏳‍🌈💪

🏳️‍🌈 If You’re LGBTQ+ Like Me, Read This! 🌈

As a gender-fluid person, I recently created an Instagram account to explore how the algorithm works. I wanted to see what kind of content it would show me if I actively engaged with LGBTQ+ creators and hashtags.

Over the past few weeks, I intentionally liked and followed LGBTQ+ posts to get into that part of the algorithm. What I saw was deeply upsetting, but let me be clear: this was my experience, and yours might be different.

If you’re curious about what’s out there, here’s what I did:

1. Open Instagram.
2. Search for any post about transgender issues or LGBTQ+ topics.
3. Scroll through the comments.

For me, the comments were filled with hateful, harmful, and cruel rhetoric directed at people like us. It was heartbreaking to see so much ignorance and bigotry. 🤮

That said, your experience might not be the same, you may see supportive and uplifting content instead. But for me, it was a stark reminder of how much hate now exists on Instagram.

If you’ve had enough of Instagram after seeing this (trust me, I get it), here’s how you can delete your account:

1. Open the Instagram app and go to your profile.
2. Tap the three horizontal lines (menu) in the top-right corner.
3. Select Accounts Center > Personal Details.
4. Tap Account Ownership and Control > Deactivation or Deletion.
5. Choose the account you want to delete and select Delete Account.
6. Follow the steps, confirm with your password, and tap Continue.

Instagram gives you 30 days to change your mind before it permanently deletes your account.

Wernher von Braun, a parent of the US space program key in getting the US to the moon, was once an actual member of the n*zi party in Germany during the 3rd reich. He supported and eloquently expresses the value of the equal opportunity employment initiatives President Dumpster removed this week. When the guy you voted for is bad according to an actual n*zi you have truly strayed from morality.

There are huge advantages to this ‘box’ approach.

a. You gain a lot from their labor and energies.

b. Their labor and energies won’t go into anything that challenges your own power out in the ‘real world’.

c. You feel ‘free’ by comparison with them, and superior.

I guess this is probably one of the reasons why in the US they are working so hard to shut up women.
Also these ideas of recolonisation spreading all over are making me sick. #Maori #NewZealand #Decolonising #Equality
