Participation in coercion was one condition.” And Black women aren’t even mentioned yet. npub1fnrwvwzlc8l4ssr89jvah6ty0ka9wpy5xk5jxk50cc4yg5wu2znstjrtqc nellie-m Friends, there’s a post making the rounds with this AI generated image. Don’t fall for it. I’m pointing it out because it’s going viral here. The person sharing it seems to enjoy all the criticism and attention they get from it going viral. This is how it works on the big platforms: get people pissed. Make them give you clicks and higher ranking. Don’t fall for it. It’s not how we want it to work here, is it. Block, and move on. #rageBait #ICE #aislop https://autisticpri.de/system/media_attachments/files/115/948/275/817/345/716/original/b715b4aeadf12eef.jpeg npub1fnrwvwzlc8l4ssr89jvah6ty0ka9wpy5xk5jxk50cc4yg5wu2znstjrtqc nellie-m I love your post.

If you hurry up, you might even make it home before sunset 😜 npub1fnrwvwzlc8l4ssr89jvah6ty0ka9wpy5xk5jxk50cc4yg5wu2znstjrtqc nellie-m unwelcome, really? Honestly, I do that all the time. Every once in a while, I get an unfriendly response, and it baffles me every time because it’s so rare. And also kind of irrational, because if someone publishes a public post on an international public network… how could they expect no one notices and comments on it? In other words: do take part, please. Your voice is just as welcome as anyone else’s. And if somebody blocks you for it, good riddance 🤷♀️ npub1fnrwvwzlc8l4ssr89jvah6ty0ka9wpy5xk5jxk50cc4yg5wu2znstjrtqc nellie-m @npub15ur…fxs2 #silentSunday #abstract #photography #nelliepic https://autisticpri.de/system/media_attachments/files/115/597/567/770/046/370/original/6868663f07ebbf1b.jpg npub1fnrwvwzlc8l4ssr89jvah6ty0ka9wpy5xk5jxk50cc4yg5wu2znstjrtqc nellie-m I really liked the idea and I’ve followed this account for a few days, but knowing that my blind friends here love to know what I boost, and being a big fan of alt-text in general, for very many more reasons, I’m unfollowing again because so many pictures you boost lack alt-text. npub1fnrwvwzlc8l4ssr89jvah6ty0ka9wpy5xk5jxk50cc4yg5wu2znstjrtqc nellie-m @npub1lx9…kyws CWs are different from filters. I call them „Content Wrappers“. And I like them because they give me a choice whether I feel able to view that post •today• or not. Because depending on my energy level, that may vary. One day I may want to see your close-up spider picture, the next day please no. Content wrappers give me time to take a breath and brace myself. They do not require me to filter out the whole post, but let me view it at my own pace. Just two more examples: as an autistic person, I find portraits with eye contact *extremely* distracting. I love a content wrapper around one so that I can read the posts next to it, unwrap the picture and appreciate it, and then wrap it up again to continue reading. Food pictures can be hard when I’m hungry and can’t eat. A wrapper around it helps. Food is also really difficult to filter out, so many different words. I want to see your chickens, but alive and well, for example, not on your plate. So a CW has a different purpose than a filter, and there are good reasons for the fedi to have both in its toolbox. #feditips npub1fnrwvwzlc8l4ssr89jvah6ty0ka9wpy5xk5jxk50cc4yg5wu2znstjrtqc nellie-m #silentSunday #photography #nelliepic https://autisticpri.de/system/media_attachments/files/115/402/591/355/140/972/original/02a92e8b418870a9.jpg npub1fnrwvwzlc8l4ssr89jvah6ty0ka9wpy5xk5jxk50cc4yg5wu2znstjrtqc nellie-m #silentSunday #photography #nelliepic https://autisticpri.de/system/media_attachments/files/115/402/516/616/218/589/original/4056619ab593cdcd.jpg npub1fnrwvwzlc8l4ssr89jvah6ty0ka9wpy5xk5jxk50cc4yg5wu2znstjrtqc nellie-m hi, I didn’t post it before but here’s one for you that I took today 🙂 good to have you back! #nelliepic #abstract #photography https://autisticpri.de/system/media_attachments/files/115/141/616/914/022/746/original/62716bbb92917abe.jpg npub1fnrwvwzlc8l4ssr89jvah6ty0ka9wpy5xk5jxk50cc4yg5wu2znstjrtqc nellie-m there’s more to it than just financial greed, and whether that is explicitly their goal I can’t say, but they certainly don’t mind it. In the 19th century, not only were more people able to read and write, but also small brochures became available at affordable prices. Explanations on how things work, instructions on how to improve things: agriculture, crafts, health, all kinds of things. It was a democratisation of knowledge. AI is taking that away from us again. AI paves the way to authoritarianism. https://autisticpri.de/system/media_attachments/files/115/025/851/788/471/549/original/6e431bc1b9ca4112.png npub1fnrwvwzlc8l4ssr89jvah6ty0ka9wpy5xk5jxk50cc4yg5wu2znstjrtqc nellie-m what a wonderful husband. npub1fnrwvwzlc8l4ssr89jvah6ty0ka9wpy5xk5jxk50cc4yg5wu2znstjrtqc nellie-m #silentSunday #mosstodon #nelliepic https://autisticpri.de/system/media_attachments/files/115/004/237/190/114/269/original/e7c83f26328179ac.jpg npub1fnrwvwzlc8l4ssr89jvah6ty0ka9wpy5xk5jxk50cc4yg5wu2znstjrtqc nellie-m Okay, I’d like to chime in with my two cents. If a mostly blind user tells me they find my alr-text very hard to use, and they sound angry and rude to me, I may not like their tone, but I imagine how unnerving it must be to face such situations maybe several times a day, for years on end. It’s like me being angry if, as a woman , I’m constantly interrupted by a man in a meeting, and I no longer feel the obligation to sound nice when I point it out. I’ve seen it many times here about Black voices not wanting to avoid treading on white toes when they point out racism. If a visually impaired person here tells me there’s a problem for them with my alt-text, I believe them. Regardless of their tone. Even if I myself thought it was good enough. And I try to find out what it is that they need. Because if it’s not really accessible for one blind person, chances are there will be more, even if they’re already too frustrated to risk pointing it out. npub1fnrwvwzlc8l4ssr89jvah6ty0ka9wpy5xk5jxk50cc4yg5wu2znstjrtqc nellie-m wow. what a beauty, and so beautifully captured. npub1fnrwvwzlc8l4ssr89jvah6ty0ka9wpy5xk5jxk50cc4yg5wu2znstjrtqc nellie-m I knew this was yours before I saw your name 🙂 npub1fnrwvwzlc8l4ssr89jvah6ty0ka9wpy5xk5jxk50cc4yg5wu2znstjrtqc nellie-m #silentSunday #photography #abstract #nelliepic https://autisticpri.de/system/media_attachments/files/114/806/617/075/992/944/original/e87a6904d632d976.jpg npub1fnrwvwzlc8l4ssr89jvah6ty0ka9wpy5xk5jxk50cc4yg5wu2znstjrtqc nellie-m I love your sketches!

Exciting! https://social.growyourown.services/@FediTips/114149382005729304 npub1fnrwvwzlc8l4ssr89jvah6ty0ka9wpy5xk5jxk50cc4yg5wu2znstjrtqc nellie-m oh wow, thanks 😃 npub1fnrwvwzlc8l4ssr89jvah6ty0ka9wpy5xk5jxk50cc4yg5wu2znstjrtqc nellie-m That would totally make me do a happy dance! I’m not aware of it though. As far as I can see, in spite of people volunteering to work on it, issue nr 34 (which is closely related) remains. https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/34 Maybe you were thinking of FediFetcher? https://github.com/nanos/FediFetcher npub1fnrwvwzlc8l4ssr89jvah6ty0ka9wpy5xk5jxk50cc4yg5wu2znstjrtqc nellie-m True. And in this case, I think the fact that Mastodon doesn’t backfill contributes to that. It took me quite a while to understand that not everyone sees all the comments (unless you visit the original page, which is a clumsy way to work with it). So both for newbies on m.social (or other large servers, although unfortunately very many start there) and for people from small servers reading their posts, it’s not at all obvious what’s going on. npub1fnrwvwzlc8l4ssr89jvah6ty0ka9wpy5xk5jxk50cc4yg5wu2znstjrtqc nellie-m It’s absolutely real. What I’ve seen several times: - people sign up on m.social, the absolute largest server, federating with almost every other instance out there - they get harassed by people on some small server: everyone can set one up easily - others on instances that already block them or haven’t federated yet don’t get to see it - new person on m.social doesn’t realise that, is appalled that nobody seems to support them - leaves fedi npub1fnrwvwzlc8l4ssr89jvah6ty0ka9wpy5xk5jxk50cc4yg5wu2znstjrtqc nellie-m tagging @npub186t…he6n npub1fnrwvwzlc8l4ssr89jvah6ty0ka9wpy5xk5jxk50cc4yg5wu2znstjrtqc nellie-m https://ohai.social/@MeanwhileinCanada/113906194845347248 npub1fnrwvwzlc8l4ssr89jvah6ty0ka9wpy5xk5jxk50cc4yg5wu2znstjrtqc nellie-m fabulous. You’re right about the colours! npub1fnrwvwzlc8l4ssr89jvah6ty0ka9wpy5xk5jxk50cc4yg5wu2znstjrtqc nellie-m good job you’re gone, that’s all that matters. welcome back, and thanks for supporting the #fedipact now 🙂 npub1fnrwvwzlc8l4ssr89jvah6ty0ka9wpy5xk5jxk50cc4yg5wu2znstjrtqc nellie-m Resonating deeply with me. And looking back, I also see how incredibly brave that scared little girl was, even leaving home every morning, walking to school yet again, alone. I think that’s also true for the little boy you remember. It’s brave to look back and see that some of it still hurts. But I know one thing, it’s that the same bravery helps us tackle this, and we *can* grow and heal some of this, as you’ve done. 💛 npub1fnrwvwzlc8l4ssr89jvah6ty0ka9wpy5xk5jxk50cc4yg5wu2znstjrtqc nellie-m It makes me feel I missed something, too. Sorry, I was busy mosstodoning 🙅🏼♀️ npub1fnrwvwzlc8l4ssr89jvah6ty0ka9wpy5xk5jxk50cc4yg5wu2znstjrtqc nellie-m breathtaking 💛 npub1fnrwvwzlc8l4ssr89jvah6ty0ka9wpy5xk5jxk50cc4yg5wu2znstjrtqc nellie-m there was this old autistic pride slogan “we’re here, we’re weird, get used to it” which I always wanted on a t-shirt 😄 npub1fnrwvwzlc8l4ssr89jvah6ty0ka9wpy5xk5jxk50cc4yg5wu2znstjrtqc nellie-m “The exit polls and political analysis invariably focuses on the changing behavior of demographic groups. That ignores a big determinant of political behavior: where people get their news and information. It's odd how little attention has been given to this, given that in the past decade we’ve had a revolution in how information flows.” https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/11/09/social-media-traditional-news-elections-00188548 #usPol npub1fnrwvwzlc8l4ssr89jvah6ty0ka9wpy5xk5jxk50cc4yg5wu2znstjrtqc nellie-m I agree. I can do distances on my ebike that I just couldn’t go with my normal bike (even though it’s a 3x7). I live in the country and distances add up quickly. With my ebike, I can now for the first time really do trips I used to use the car for. My fitness has improved a lot. Because even with some support, it’s still cycling and not motorbiking 😉 npub1fnrwvwzlc8l4ssr89jvah6ty0ka9wpy5xk5jxk50cc4yg5wu2znstjrtqc nellie-m This question immediately makes me think about this whole concept of empathy and how flawed I think it is. So many things have an influence on what we think we perceive in other people as their feelings. Cultural expectations, for example. What are you supposed to feel in this situation? Turns out you may simply be projecting that onto the other person. 1/ npub1fnrwvwzlc8l4ssr89jvah6ty0ka9wpy5xk5jxk50cc4yg5wu2znstjrtqc nellie-m Years ago I came across this article on the work of James W. Stigler. While its main subject is important and interesting, what also caught my attention was his completely mistaken idea about what that boy at the blackboard was feeling. It made *him* cringe. The boy was fine! https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2012/11/12/164793058/struggle-for-smarts-how-eastern-and-western-cultures-tackle-learning 2/ npub1fnrwvwzlc8l4ssr89jvah6ty0ka9wpy5xk5jxk50cc4yg5wu2znstjrtqc nellie-m There are beans you can use like popcorn as well.

(it’s morning here) I just got up and really don’t know anything interesting to say but here’s a picture I took during a bike ride in the rain yesterday.

But are we? "...it sucks to lose out on a shared social language because you can’t see the images everyone is talking about." “Unless I have someone sit with me and explain to me what’s going on, I definitely feel like I can’t have a conversation about it with someone,” she says. “It is exclusionary to a point, because I like jokes. I like pasta recipes. I want to know that stuff!
