I've recently gained a large number of followers that are HR practitioners like myself. Welcome!

That said: I didn't join Bluesky 1+ year ago to recreate Twitter. My topics of discussion here are different. I don't talk HR that much. Politics and photography? Absolutely.

Make of it what you will.
The holiday season isn't festive for everyone, esp. for queer folks in the face of ongoing anti-trans legislation and LGBTQIA+ bigotry.

Please know there are resources available. Here's one: DCTP is an online directory highlighting alternatives to calling the police or 911.

An actual good way to disperse your excess cash instead of buying me weird saddles is to help out my friend and brother Mohamed, who is trying to keep his family alive in Al Mawasi camp in Gaza. If you've got a couple dollars to share with with him I'd be grateful.

I’m gonna make it simple since it seems a lot of the liberals on this site right now are having trouble with this. It was illegal to protect Anne Frank and it was legally required to turn her in to the Nazis.
If your reliance on the law dictates your morals you have already lost to the fascists.

1. Incredible ruling! An Ohio appeals court has ruled that trans care is healthcare, strikes down youth trans care ban!

It made the ruling using the Republican-passed "health care freedom amendment" meant to overturn Obamacare!

This is why I have no patience for the folks talking about decorum and civility. We are in danger. The ripple effects are going to be devastating…
My daughter's daycare just sent out an email about potentially needing to layoff staff because new babies about to start withdrew because of parental job losses. So if you're wondering how government layoffs and mass contract cancellations will affect the economy, here's an example

I hope that AI generated content of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.--especially those that "move" or "speak"--don't become normalized. There's already plenty of mis- and disinformation circulating online. Let's not add to it.

Here's one egregious example.

A TikTok posted to the account of a congressional candidate in Michigan appeared to use an AI-generated Martin Luther King Jr. endorsement.

It continues to be disappointing that media outlets report this type of news--one where fascists outline their awful intentions--in such vanilla tones. As if they're reporting on the weather.
