The problem isn’t that DHH finally said the quiet part out loud.

The problem is that you’re still pretending it’s shocking, still refusing to connect the dots, and still showing the world that whiteness matters more to you than justice.

#Trump & #Hegseth #military address🤬🧵

#Defense Secy #PeteHegseth addressed the gathering of military leaders earlier.

He assailed what he called "decades of #decay" caused by policies promoting #diversity & #inclusion in the #USmilitary.

"Foolish & reckless political leaders set the wrong compass heading & we lost our way. We became the 'Woke Department,'" Hegseth said as he kicked off the event in Quantico, Virginia.

"But not anymore," he said.

Help wanted, please!

If you have *first hand experience* of improving the diversity of a governance board of (currently all men) volunteers, I'd love to hear how you went about it, or resources which helped you, please.

What did you find helped make the role more attractive to a wider range of applicants to join?

(This is in the context of a Free software project, but broader contexts are welcome.)

@neil while this article is about “events”, advice is applicable to the #floss project board too : https://labs.ripe.net/author/becha/spring-and-summer-events-season-2022/

#Inclusion is it possible to participate online ?
#Diversity have a Code of Conduct

#Equity be explicit about your ethics

#Justice make it about political goals of FLOSS (& not only “tech”) ;

work on solving systemic problems -> that will attract different applicants!

Folks, @micr0 is the creator and maintainer of altbot@fuzzies.wtf and tldr@fuzzies.wtf, arguably two of the most useful #Fediverse bots I've ever seen, utilizing a locally run, low-power #LLM server operated with #privacy and #transparency primarily in mind.

If I wasn't already living off of charity, I would gladly donate to this cause. So instead, I'm asking everyone who is willing and able, please visit the post below and consider donating to help micr0 continue to provide two immensely powerful and helpful services for #inclusion and #accessibility. They deserve to at least break even on their bills for such (imho) important work.

Additionally, I encourage everyone to follow one or both bots (I'm not tagging them in the post to avoid triggering another loop like I did the last time) if you are overly-verbose like myself and need a concise, abridged version of my babblings, or don't have the spoons to write alt text for images AND videos.
