It’s Black History Month, a time for learning and growing, not sharing your favorite MLK quote.
One of my colleagues—a Black woman—is sharing resources all month with our team. She gave me permission to reshare here and asked me not to credit her by name.
I’ll add to this thread all month to increase the impact of her hard work.
Tipp Nr.15: Kinder und Jugendliche sollten früh für das Thema Datenschutz sensibilisiert werden. Was bedeutet eigentlich Privatsphäre? Was sind soziale Netzwerke und wie lassen sich die eigenen Daten schützen? Einen guten Einstieg bieten unter anderem die Pixi-Bücher vom BfDI.

My job is to make movement easier for people in general.
Most plow drivers seem to be at #2 or #3. As a pedestrian, and winter cycling enthusiast (to be clear, I’m a supporter, not a participant, yet), I really wish more plow drivers and snow removal contractors were at #5.
Every time I go for a walk, I have to jump over places on the sidewalk where a contractor has carelessly thrown the snow from a driveway (thought - is this a bylaw infraction?). Not to mention all the times a sidewalk has been plowed, only to be filled in again by a street plow.
I’ll be back in the spring, complaining how all the winter crap from the streets gets pushed into bike lanes…
The National Centre for #Truth and #Reconciliation and the #Aboriginal Peoples Television Network will host a 90-minute multilingual #commemoration event on #Parliament Hill Sept. 30, the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation.
The EU chat control legislation proposal to scan literally ever private digital messaging in Europe has been postponed until another vote in December. It’s baffling there is hardly any news and media cover, and we are reading about such important legislative progress on blogs.
An estimated 5 million, or 1 in 10, older Americans experience elder abuse, neglect, or exploitation. Working together across our networks, we can generate awareness and foster action to end elder abuse. Let’s work to keep everyone safe as we age.

The concepts of #romance, romantic #love, or feeling romantically attracted to people is foreign to me. When I was young, I just knew I would never want to marry or go into a romantic relationship with anyone. It just didn't feel right to me. I was right. I am #aromantic. I'm not the only one.
And guess what? I like the way I am. 🙂 I don't feel I'm missing out on anything.
ℹ️ This is the start of my little series for Aromantic Spectrum #Awareness Week. #ASAW

Someone asked me recently about the ability to "Read the Room" and whether or not this was a skill that can be developed. I certainly believe it is a skill and can be cultivated. Perhaps the most impactful maxim which can guide us in this regard was taught to me by a Jedi Knight who went by the name Zenchi from the Temple of the Jedi Order. He told me, "Learn to Observe without needing to React."
The Internet, particularly the social media algorithm demon, has created an incentive not just to React to everything, but to Observe specifically to React. In this way we often bias our interpretation of that which we observe with a skew towards the least charitable interpretation so that our reaction can be as extreme as possible.
To counteract this and hone this skill of reading the room, we can practice several behaviors that will improve our lives.
First, be the last person to speak in an interaction. When you allow everyone else to have their say, it gives you a chance to examine their perspectives and gauge their intentions.
Second, questions are better than statements. The cultivation of curiosity leads to more robust conversations. A statement can often be viewed as dismissive or ultimate in nature, sometimes leaving a conversation partner feeling as though there's nothing left to say. Curiosity, by contrast, is almost always viewed as an invitation to continue discourse.
Third, speak in a way that is pleasant. We've been taught to rely on flippancy and sarcasm in modern discourse as we assume the intentions of others or deliberately misconstrue them to make ourselves look superior. By engaging with someone in a pleasant way, we can disarm hostility. Even if others fail to uphold this standard, we will still maintain our own peace which is of a value beyond measure.
