With the "Ban on conversion practices" petition getting a massive boost and the necessary votes for being successful only at the very last moment, this might be the time to check out other petitions at the European Citizens' Initiative as well:

I'm enjoying the combination of fediverse lag, celebration and exhortation as the EU crosses the line in a petition to ban conversion therapy. About 40% WE ARE SO CLOSE KEEP GOING, 40% WE DID IT, LET'S KEEP GOING and 20% SOME SIGNATURES ARE ALWAYS DISCOUNTED KEEP GOING, the whole thing is beautiful and amazing and inspiring and if you're in Europe just go put your name down.
A prominent example of what can happen if institutions are dependent on commercial enterprises sitting in the USA: The Trump administration made Microsoft block the email account of the #ICC prosecutor:
apnews.com/article/icc-trump-s…
Given this recent example and the circumstance that this administration is in a constant quarrel with scientific institutions and also science in general, it is quite scary how dependent many - not all - German universities are for their core IT infrastructure on Microsoft services.
I hope this is a wake-up call for the IT service departments of our universities? We are increasingly encouraged to publish scientific findings (data, articles) according to #FAIRPrinciples in #OpenScience , but shouldn't we also think more about the vulnerability of our whole workflow, if the underlying IT can be shut down simply by an order of someone on the other side of the planet? Open alternatives do exist!

The constant drip drip drip drip of the cost of living crisis.
Gary Stevenson has risen to notoriety because he's called a spade spade.
Wealth is driving poverty. The cost of living crisis is a product of spiraling wealth disparity on many different levels.
Simple wealth disparity means the rich can simply outbid a working class person for a house. Pernicious disparity occurs with monopoly.

Also, IMO, pouring extreme resources into activities with high CTE rates is also stupid. My kid is going to a college with a lame-ass football team and throws all its scholarship funds into rewarding academic achievement.
(But this is where I start to get partisan, sexist, and you might call it shrill, so I'll stop, now.)

in reply to Micr0byte • • •The image features a clear glass mug filled with a light brown beverage, likely a latte or cappuccino, with a frothy top displaying a latte art design resembling a swan or leaf. The mug has a handle and is placed on a dark wooden table. Surrounding the mug are three small, round candies: two white and one brown, suggesting a variety of flavors. To the left, there is a woven placemat, and in the background, a colorful coaster with the text "The Happy Hour" is visible, along with a few other indistinct items. The overall setting suggests a cozy, inviting atmosphere, possibly in a café or a home setting.
