THREAD 1/
What I can say about photographing my own body is that it's one of the most mentally and emotionally challenging things I've ever done. Turns out twenty years of therapy barely touched the damage that the 90s, and subsequent decades, did to my body image. Turns out that even at age 42, the most confident and happy I’ve ever been, the internet being populated with 'perfect bodies' sours a relationship with my own.

@matz Di niente - è un tool interessante. Mi sono occupata della traduzione italiana
A Roman child's sarcophagus with Cupids racing chariots: the horses of one of the drivers have fallen, a Cupid is trying to help a horse get back on his feet. On chariot drives over a Cupid lying on the ground.
The interpretation of the motif is disputed: it was explained as souls driving towards the heavens, as an allegory for the hardship of life and the eventual triumph after death as well as an allegory for the journey of life with its joy and loss.

Ich will es grade installieren, finde die App aber nicht im F-Droid und auch nicht im PlayStore.
Muss man sie direkt von der Webseite installieren? Das ist mir ja etwas gruselig... Aber ich bin grade in mutiger Stimmung! 🤠

Surprise: Elsevier is Suing Meta For You? https://www.authorsalliance.org/2026/05/05/surprise-elsevier-is-suing-meta-for-you/
No, it's not April Fools' Day. If you've ever published a book, or a journal article with a DOI assigned to it, then Elsevier _claims_ 🤮 to be representing YOU in a copyright lawsuit it has recently filed in New York.
I fall into this set of authors myself. Whilst I'm not that keen on some of what Meta's done here, Elsevier & co DO NOT REPRESENT ME!
Kudos to @AuthorsAlliance for spotting this
@rmounce it's probably in the small prints of the agreements we as authors made with them
The whole copyright assignment was introduced to me "back in the days", bc they could protect my authors rights better (than my university)
But I agree with your sentiment very much :(

La #LDH dénonce cette mesure portant atteinte à la liberté de circulation des mineurs, symptomatique des choix et discours autoritaires et répressifs qui ne font que stigmatiser la jeunesse et lui interdire l'accès à l'espace public, au détriment de l'éducatif.
L'internet est mort ?
Non. La seule chose qui est en train de mourir, ce sont les cancers capitalistes comme les GAFAMs qui se sont greffés dessus pour extraire un maximum de "valeur" pour les actionnaires.
Internet est bien vivant, et grâce à une chose: LES PROTOCOLES.

@GeofCox Center is "keep things as they are" with some fiddling around the edges. I wonder why that might be unpopular. It's a mystery.
Exactly !
