Go out there and be kind, to yourself, yes, and to others.

This is your regular reminder that if you are the smartest person in the room, go find another room. You are not going to run out of people or rooms.

Before mass leaders seize the power to fit reality to their lies, their propaganda is marked by its extreme contempt for facts as such, for in their opinion fact depends entirely on the power of man who can fabricate it.

Open science forms the pillar for mankind to invent a better world, and a society worth living in. Or so it should be, if academia weren’t held captive or willing prisoner to commercial interests. Fediverse opens new grazing grounds for #scientists, #engineers, or anyone for that matter, to uncover new #wisdom and #insights collectively.
If only more #OpenScience tools would add #ActivityPub support to join our #fediverse.
But we have @bonfire Open Science app, and @scifed as early adopters.
The free and #commons-based fediverse grows organically, like a beautiful garden. Social web technologies can only emerge and evolve by #CommonsParticipation, crafted by many people with love and the joy of coding, while exploring realms of creation.
Joyful creation is where #fediverse allows us to ✨ social code the social code together.
