If you’re in the twin cities and are looking to sell art! A friend shared this and I almost applied but it’s the day I go on vacation so I figured I’d share. #twincities #msp #minneapolis #stpaul #queer #art #artmarket #bipoc

I haven't done one of these in a while, so here goes!
Hey #Women, #LGBTQ+ and #BIPoC folx! Are you an expert in something? Do you have a fancy degree or a lot of experience in some field/hobby? Do you like to infodump about it? Then out yourself in the replies below!
I'll start. Hi 👋 I'm Alice. I'm multi-queer (pan/bisexual and nonbinary). I'm an expert lockpicker and data scientist, and I have an education in computer science, psychology, and statistics.
Your turn 😊

We had #Fedicon because @reiver came to #sxsw to speak, and he left with the conviction that a Fediverse event in Vancouver would work. And he reached out to Canadian Fediverse participants to get a great lineup of speakers. He energized some really talented collaborators like @manlycoffee and @Crissy to make the event actually happen.
Wasn’t sure what I could’ve contributed as a 🌈 nondev at FediCon but thankfully @reiver said sure 🤭
Glad to be part of the FEDI community since the great twitter migration of 2022/23 when @manlycoffee suggested for me to join this place as a designer and creative 🙏
I’m not a fan of Thomas Kinkade’s art, but I’m very pleased with this statement from the Kinkade Family Foundation:
“On July 1st, the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) posted a photo on their social media accounts accompanied by a Thomas Kinkade Studios painting. The use of his artwork was unauthorized, and we have requested that DHS remove the post, and we are consulting with our counsel on our options.
“At The Kinkade Family Foundation, we strongly condemn the sentiment expressed in the post and the deplorable actions that DHS continues to carry out. Like many of you, we were deeply troubled to see this image used to promote division and xenophobia associated with the ideals of DHS, as this is antithetical to our mission. We stand firmly with our communities who have been threatened and targeted by DHS, especially our immigrant, BIPOC, undocumented, LGBTQ+, and disabled relatives and neighbors.”

Are there any other non-white-European people from the region of #Karlsruhe and #Strasbourg in my timeline ? I'm looking for other #Kurdish, #Arabic, #Indian, #BIPoC etc. people to maybe get to know closer because I miss spending time with other non-euronormative people since I moved here !
(I'm sometimes just annoyed by all my friends having only their European sight on the world. That's why the uncommon search.)
