This is bit of a stretch ask, and, possibly very vague, but - I've been trying (and struggling) to find potential speakers for #ffconf that can talk on the subject of "how to think critically / being sceptical".
Ideally wanting UK based, but can stretch to Europe.
@rem Donno, Remy, maybe web folks would have an easier time finding such people if they didn’t ostracise the ones who apply such thinking to the Big Tech corporations that sponsor their conferences and where all their besties work at.

I'll never forget "good"
Christians shouting, "You're a
WHORE," in my face while I
walked into Planned Parenthood
in 2000, needing emergency
contraception and ST| testing
after I was raped at a fraternity
party.
If it was a person it would smell exactly like Lynx Africa body spray, Lambert & Butler cigarettes and a particular kind of dorm room bedsheets that haven’t seen the inside of a washing machine in 6 months.
This is John,the hospital determined that I have had a second stroke,same kind that I had last year and in the same region of the brain as last year.I appreciate all the positive thoughts and prayers,and I appreciate each of you.I’m going to be in therapy.I hope to see you soon
I love that a multi-billion-dollar corporation like RedHat/IBM can ship an operating system with a broken screen reader in 2024 (it’s not just them, it’s true for basically every major Linux distribution today) and, when you point it out, the response is “it’s no one’s fault… it’s all free labour… it’s FOSS, man”. And then: oh, and this charity is paying for one person to work on accessibility support to be implemented now… Anyone else see how fucked up that is?
@joojmachine I mean you can’t control the screen reader. In other words, the major Linux distributions do not have a functional screen reader at the moment and haven’t had one since they started shipping Wayland by default.
I'm in 'severe emotional distress' reading about these snowflakes all the time... 🤦♂️
'A Christian lifeguard is suing the city of Los Angeles for "severe emotional distress" after he was stationed near a Pride flag last year.
Jeffery Little filed a lawsuit on Friday claiming he is being discriminated against for his evangelical faith by being made to stand in the same vicinity as the Progress Pride flag.' https://www.advocate.com/news/christian-lifeguard-los-angeles-pride-flags
