Hey Mastodon! I just wanted to draw your attention to a new #openaccess paper published by my friends at the CPAS Inclusive Science Communication Collective 
My pod co-host @theEllamo is one of the authors 
The article presents a useful framework for thinking about how we can make #scicomm more #inclusive - as it sadly can still be “western, white, ableist and patriarchal”

Thanks to my colleague Elina for pointing me to this checklist of things to do to make physics teaching in higher education more inclusive:

A conversation amongst #Kpop fans included this mention of the variety of fans and the importance of inclusivity and mutual respect in the fandom here on Mastodon - qualities sorely lacking in some other Kpop spaces.
Anyway, that part of the conversation reminded me of the history of inclusivity and mutual respect, which in turn set me thinking about religious "toleration" in early modern European history, which in turn reminded me of the Edict of Torda in the Transylvania of 1568:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edict_of_Torda
I was going to finish there with a pronouncement of "There's a lot more to Transylvania than Dracula!" which is true, but, on reflection, a bad note on which to end because it sounds smug and condescending.
Yes, early modern history is fascinating, anybody who can visit Transylvania should do so, and "toleration" deserves much attention from both a historical and philosophical point of view - but shouldn't I be more alive to today's interest in vampirism and to goth subcultures ? Shouldn't I remember that, in the words of @pixelcats, "all ways of stanning are valid" and that includes the stanning of Transylvania too?
From Kpop to C16 Torda and back again!

In an open letter (link below) we also call for process changes to ensure future venue decisions reflect the values of safety and inclusion.

I would love to provide a broader range of voices from the #ActuallyAutistic community with lived experience than essentially just my own.

I’ve been reflecting the past couple of days about discrimination. About how much it must hurt to walk through life knowing people hate you just because you’re you.
It breaks my fucking heart. Truly tears it in two. It literally made me cry today.
This is why I get so passionately fucking angry about fascism and bigotry. People deserve to experience the joy of life without fear-based reservations.
This song/video nails it.

Inclusive user research: building rapport by Ela Gorla of @TetraLogical

Some of the ways the world is not welcoming of children became a lot more visible to me since The Hobbit was born. Yesterday we had an experience that feels like it put it all together. I want to share it not in a "woe is me" angle, but because a lot of people here design things for humans, and hearing the specific difficulties that young humans have might help you make things better.

“Linux ‘just works’ – if you can see.

This isn’t a bug.
This is neglect.”
(And its ableist culture will sooner make you the villain for criticising it rather than acknowledging the failing and fixing the status quo. https://ar.al/2024/06/23/fedora-has-been-shipping-with-a-broken-screen-reader-for-nine-years-but-the-real-problem-is-me/ There’s a reason I’m back on Mac after six years on Linux. As a developer, it was impacting my ability to make what I’m building accessible. And I reject the unspoken premise that the source being open is somehow more important than the human right to universal access. Ethical technology requires more than just the “four freedoms” https://web.archive.org/web/20250418090901/https://ind.ie/ethical-design/ This is why inclusivity is a core Small Technology principle. https://small-tech.org/about/#small-technology)
"And although he has expressed support for same-sex blessings, past denunciations of 'gender ideology' will generate unease among those won over by the warmth of Francis’s inclusive approach to LGBTQ+ people.
For progressive Catholics, how far and how fast Pope Leo is prepared to move on such matters – and on toughening up procedures for dealing with clerical sexual abuse – will be crucial."
