Mad props to @firestorm in #NC for accepting #BannedBooks from #FL and sending them back to FL for anyone who asks. It's a huge good deed.
Furthermore: every person in the photo in this story of them boxing up the books is wearing a mask. All the unmasked photos were taken outdoors. This is what real inclusion looks like in the age of #COVID.

#Fahrenheit451 in #Fl: "All the shelves were covered in black paper. There were no books. There was nobody reading. There was nobody checking things out. It wasn’t a library. It was just a room. Initially, I was confused. Then I got angry. I found out why the books were covered up. It’s because of all these new laws and school rules that happened because some people were really upset the library had books about LGBTQ people — books about people like me."

So #Introductions! I’m not a heavy poster, but lean mostly towards #SciCom and pictures of the #wildlife I spot in my backyard. It’s practically NatGeo up in this central #FL backyard.
Had the pleasure of telling headhunter absolutely no to Texas this morning
“Had the pleasure of telling headhunter absolutely no to Texas this morning
I received an early morning call from a headhunter this morning. It is for an interesting position that is really the future of my industry.
I interrupted him the moment he told me the position is in Houston, TX and told him absolutely not!
He stammered for a moment and asked why. I replied that with the current abortion laws in TX there was no way on earth I would move there with my teenage daughters.
He stammered a bit more and said he understood.
I hope he gets more responses like mine and passes it on the employers.”

#introduction on a new server and platform! Name's Wang and I decided to join Calckey to see what this platform does differently and the admin here always seems to be on top of things. I'm a big #anime, #videogame, and #urbanplanning fan that's worked professionally as a caster and donation drive organizer within the Smash scene. Currently I'm looking to get more into #SF6 with #manon and I also recently moved to #Seattle to start a new job and escape from #FL. With the longer word count here, I'll probably be looking to post most of my reviews and opinions on this account on the various anime I watch and if I like the platform enough, I might look to migrate my main account to here. Also if anyone here is interested in practicing #日本語, I'd be more than happy to cause I'm severely lacking in practice and I've noticed my comprehension has been slipping recently. よろしくお願いします！
Jack Smith's historic case is too important in the realm of jurisprudence to be subject to the whims of Federalist influences and fealty to the person who hired you, especially when that perdon is the defendant and their charges border espionage.
Florida's #GOP attorney general is saying the quiet part out loud. As far as the #FL GOP is concerned, #Florida public #schools are a place for conservative indoctrination.
I was at GDG DevFest Tampa Bay, and it was packed not just with panels and presentations, but also some hands-on labs, including one where you built a USB “Rubber Ducky” — a hacker tool featured in “Mr. Robot” — with a Raspberry Pi Pico!
