Brief #Introduction, since it seems to be the etiquette around here. Hi! I'm Mel, a PGR at QMUL researching abortion policy implementation in subnational Argentina, through lenses of various geographies, #policy and subnational studies, and literature on #feminist #activism. Expect toots both in #Spanish and #English. Alongside #academicchatter, expect pictures and commentary on #popculture, #cats, #nature and #food, as needed.

the fascist attorney general of Missouri has set up a tip site for complaints about gender transition, hope it doesn't get spammed by long, fake complaints over and over until he takes it down!

Make no mistake, the tsunami of #tech #layoffs is not about the recession. It’s about striking back at “uppity” labor, after they enjoyed a shift in the balance of power from #remotework and DEI #activism .

These companies are reporting record profits. Inflation is just cover. It’s because they can, because there’s social cover for it, because there’s money left on the table and having “some” money isn’t enough.

It’s nothing short of class warfare.

So, after 15+ years of being the sole creator (script-writer, host, interviewer, filmer, video editor, social media promoter, fan/hatemail reader, livestreamer, sponsor-outreach-er, etc etc etc) behind the entirety of my #feminist #freeTheNipple and other-#progressive-issues focused #activism channel #toplessTopics, I've decided this year I'm going to do whatever it takes to start hiring help--namely a #videoEditor to start with, to take the rambly bits and "ums" out of my vlogs, nothing fancy.

Give Up #GitHub: The Time Has Come!

Specifically, we at Software Freedom Conservancy have been actively communicating with #Microsoft and their GitHub subsidiary about our concerns with “Copilot” since they first launched it almost exactly a year ago. Our initial video chat call (in July 2021) with Microsoft and GitHub representatives resulted in several questions which they said they could not answer at that time, but would “answer soon”. After six months of no response, Bradley published his essay, If Software is My #Copilot, Who Programmed My Software? — which raised these questions publicly. Still, GitHub did not answer our #questions.
