Last night in Bogota
'The transphobic violence that fractured her arms and legs, and the brutality with which she was thrown into the La García ravine to be murdered, demonstrates the global resurgence of a fascism that drives the extermination of historically marginalized groups like us trans and queer people.
Sara's memory is a seed of resistance. We organize not only to honor her, but to ensure that not one more life is taken by hate.
For our dead, not one minute of silence! A lifetime of struggle!'

My Mom was my #STEAM muse and #science demonstrator. She was no #hiddenfigure. She took me to the #museumofnaturalhistory and probably all of the #zoos in #NYC. She listened patiently to my musings about #ufos, #aliens, #robots and all my #stories and #poems. She let me make messes in her kitchen with my "formulas". I'm thinking about her impact in #earlychildhoodeducation and me on this #womenshistorymonth. #sayhername Maude A. Alexander, Thank you, Ashe' #BlackMastodon #internationalwomensday

#TIL that even though William Gibson is often credited for inventing the term "cyberspace" for his 1984 cyberpunk novel "Neuromancer", the first documented use of the term, predating Gibson's book by a decade & a half, is by Danish artist Susanne Ussing for this "study in cybernetics & open systems which adapt when influenced" https://www.susanneussing.dk/arkivet-projekttegninger-cyberspace.php

Once more for the back row: The *actual* Tragedy of The Commons is the selfish assholes ruining everything for everybody else.
Elinor Ostrom won the Nobel prize for studying this & yet the version of TOTC everyone knows is still the "everyone is assholes" neolib version she proved wrong.
People are not primarily selfish; we're primarily social. It's the selfish assholes who are the outliers.
It's time we taught this in schools.

Iran Labels Women Protesters as 'Mentally Ill' to Discredit Dissent #BeHerVoice #AhouDaryaei
„Hours after images surfaced of a young woman in Tehran stripping to her underwear in protest, government-affiliated media claimed she “suffered from a mental disorder.” The accusation mirrors a longstanding tactic by the Islamic Republic against women protesters, especially those opposing mandatory hijab laws.
Shortly after images of the incident were circulated, the university-affiliated newspaper Farhikhtegan reported that the student, known online as the girl “lacks mental health” and had been admitted to a psychiatric hospital….“

A female Iranian student was arrested on Saturday for removing her clothing in protest after reportedly being assaulted by security forces at Tehran's Islamic Azad University over improper hijab.
A video showing the student sitting in the courtyard of the university’s Science and Research Branch has gone viral on Iranian social media.

„Aus Protest gegen die Kleiderordnung im Iran und die Basidsch-Miliz hat sich eine Studentin in Teheran bis auf die Unterwäsche ausgezogen. Danach wurde sie festgenommen.
Der Vorfall ereignete sich laut der Menschenrechtsorganisation Hengaw an der renommierten Asad-Universität in Teheran. Aktivisten sagen, die Studentin sei zuvor von Mitgliedern der zu den Revolutionsgarden gehörenden Miliz belästigt worden. Aus Protest soll sie sich dann vor der Universität ausgezogen haben…..“

@muiren This case is HORRIFIC.
The way that deputy deliberately calculated how to kill her and did so in just the most terrible way.
I really hope there's no doubt in that community's mind that he needs to be taken off the street and put in prison for life.
