I love and appreciate community events such as #Fosdem, but it makes me sad to see the gender imbalance in #foss tech. I'm aware of the issue, but being at such a large-scale event makes it very tangible and visible.

So there is this new alternative for LinkedIn: Nolto. Right now mostly IT guys have made an account there because they were the first to discover it, but how about some of us artists and makers go there and add some diversity? It's very simple, you can use your Mastodon account to log in.

This is my account, feel free to connect: https://nolto.social/profile/suzanneterhuurne

(I write in Dutch there but can answer to your posts in English, of course)

Die 80er habe ich als "Sp*st" verlebt. Egal welche Behinderung man hatte, man war der "Sp*st". Die Hälfte der 90er war ich gezwungen, in einer Behinderteneinrichtung zu verbringen. Als ich dort weg war, lernte ich Behördenterror kennen, auf den mich keiner vorbereitet hatte. Vorgesehen war, für immer in Sp*st*häusern zu "leben".

Blogged the dog-eared pages from the last book I finished in 2025: Hacking Diversity by @inquiline

My copy will be on the @DoESLiverpool bookshelves shortly, if anyone wants to borrow it

Stronger Together! 💪🏾

Finished up my last SPARTA 👟Strength class for 2025 at the Malden Senior Center. We had a smaller group today, which just meant more time for connection and quality reps!

I'm incredibly grateful for the center staff and the opportunity to be part of this strong, supportive community. See you in 2026! 🎉

A: Hey kid, how was your first day of school? What subjects will you have?

B: Oh, it was so cool. Our main subjects will be #SocialPedagogy, #GroupDynamics, #PsychoEducation, #TraumaPedagogy and #NonViolentCommunication besides #Inclusion and #Diversity, which we started with today.
Other than that we'll have #ClimateJustice, #BlackHistory, #QueerFeminism, #anarchism, #RiotTraining, #solidarity, #degrowth, #PermaCulture, #ReduceRefuseRepair and a few others.
Didn't you always tell me school didn't teach you anything for real life? Well it's not like that anymore.

As the Trump administration ordered agencies to eradicate “illegal” diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, we identified more than 1,000 nonprofits that removed such language from the mission statements in their tax filings.
