My spider plant is blooming! It's been doing so for some time, and is running out of buds. Each flower only lasts a day or so.

Actually, on top of that, men are much more likey to die in car crashes than women are. So perhaps in terms of cold statistics, it actually makes more sense to favour men's bodies.

Making cars safer for doubly reckless male drivers at the expense of women's safety doesn't really sound like a good idea though.

A perfect example of sexism endangering lives is in car manufacture. An "average" crash test dummy that is used in design to make cars safe is based on an American male. Which means at best it represents only 50% of the population --- in reality the percentage is far lower. The design of the safety features such as airbags are not designed to work for women's bodies.

Check out the two graphs below, based on UK data:
Two thirds of UK men fall in a specific height range (1.7 to 1.85 metres), but only around 13% of women in the same range.

Design of powertools is the same: the handles / grips are designed for the male hand, making them awkward and difficult to use for the other half of the population, simply because they have smaller hands.

Like a boss 😁

My degree is so boring but at least I'll pass.

Hahah you can't control me!

It looks like unfederated folks can still follow us, but no content is shown. Be vigilant.

When the left column in the table of four data on profiles has the same value entered more than once, any with the same name are missed out except for one entry. It looks like previous table data is overwritten with whatever comes last with the same left column data.

The second image shows what the table looks like in Mastodon profile editing web UI, with all four entries filled in.

@GreenandBlack images seems to work fine.

A short comic strip is shown, with six panels. It has been written over after creation, to change the text spoken. A white boy and a white man with a neutral expression stand in a room. The boy says "we should talk about the problems women and minorities face". The man turns to the camera, agitated, red and sweating, and says "oh god an SJW!". The man runs from the room saying "I must warn the internet!". The man leaps through a window, smashing glass, crying "my social privilege is being questioned!". Now running full-pelt through fields, the man shouts "I'm not the centre of attention!". A pinprick on the horizon, the man, still furiously running, declares "I'm being oppressed!".

Some might say he has overreacted in this situation, though it remains up for debate.

Puffinus Puffinus is the Latin name for a Manx Shearwater, not an Atlantic Puffin. I can't bothered to "rebrand" but I'm actually using the wrong name / profile pic. 😊

It remains to be seen just how #solarpunk this #documentary "2040" is, but it looks pretty good --- and very hopeful --- from the trailer. It will be worth checking out in August when it is released.

I'm really hoping this is a coincidence, and I haven't just picked up on a large corporation subtly hijacking an activist network's book launch for subliminal marketing purposes...

I'm using compact mode, and the indent in replies seems wrong. I think it should be increased so the text does not go over the vertical grey line.

Most people: "would you like to pet my cat / puppy / lizard?"

Sunbeam City comrades: "would you like to water my plants?"
