It was incredible to see Chelsea Manning speak at @mozilla.org Festival yesterday.
When she was arrested in 2010 I helped organize to free her and raised tens of thousands of dollars for her legal fund.
To see her free and advocating for people-powered technology was immensely gratifying.

In 2022, during the last Euros, German goal keeper Ann-Katrin Berger learned her thyroid cancer had returned. After successfully undergoing treatment she returned to this tournament a survivor. And after a generational performance, she leaves these Euros a hero.

I just heard that my NIH grant was terminated even though it was approved and the contract signed more than a year ago and the money was already transferred to my university. The grant focused on migration and health. This is so disruptive to science and to many people working in research.

Wikimedia is pacted with toxic positivity and mostly weaponized against those who think and act critically towards this norm :-/
Dismissing negative emotions can do more harm than good. Psychologists emphasize that good and bad emotions are part of being human.
By not allowing negative emotions, toxic positivity may result in physical consequences, such as heart and respiratory disease from stress.
