A broad retreat is underway in the nonprofit world.
After Donald Trump ordered his administration to root out “illegal” diversity, equity and inclusion efforts earlier this year,
opening the door to investigations and funding cuts for offenders,
more than 1,000 charities rewrote their mission statements in forms they filed this year with the Internal Revenue Service,
removing or minimizing language tied to race, inequity and historically disadvantaged communities.<…

Deleting DEI
As the Trump administration ordered agencies to eradicate “illegal” diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, we identified more than 1,000 nonprofits that removed such language from the mission statements in their tax filings.

Re: discourse about #FediSoWhite
I'm a white man. Was on Twitter throughout #BLM and gained an awful lot of free education from Black folks on there. That was the start of me consciously following diverse folks which is a strategy that's improved my life immensely.
Back on Twitter before the Muskening, there was a lot of diversity. Black Twitter was a thing, and not just first-world (anyone else remember "O jewa ke eng?"). When I went looking for people to follow to diversify my feed, I found them in abundance.
That's why it's so clearly false to me when people claim that the fediverse is secretly diverse, and why anyone making that claim sounds suspect to me. Sure there are a ton of great Black and other POC folks you can find on here, if you look hard. But it's nowhere near the levels of diversity and community that were on Twitter. Which you would know had you been following those people before, so now I have to assume you weren't, and wonder why you feel qualified to make statements about diversity even though you haven't made an effort to engage with diverse voices before?
Also, if you were actually following some of the excellent POC voices on here, you'd know that across different servers and interest groups, almost every group has had a discussion of #FediSoWhite at some point. If all the Black people you follow are independently talking about the lack of community and diversity here, you've either got to believe them or start putting on your clown makeup, and the later is absolutely a choice.

Neben #startrek Starfleet Academy ging's in meinem Science-Fiction-Januar auch um diverse Weltraumsagas (von 1968 bis 2025) und um Ken Lius Thriller in einer AI-gesättigten Welt, All That We See or Seem.

Science Fiction und Fantasy im Januar 2026
Ich fange mit dem Bildschirm an, das ist einfacher, weil in den letzten Wochen recht reduziert - zum einen deswegen, weil meine Kinder mehr Lust auf Gesellschaftsspiele als auf das gemeinsame Filmgucken hatten, zum anderen, weil ich meine freie Zeit neben Arbeit und Wahlkampf dann lieber in Lego ges

'Rondreizend reparateur van bioscoopprojectoren Bruno (geweldige rol van Vogler) en de depressieve Robert treffen elkaar onder eigenaardige omstandigheden: laatstgenoemde probeert zichzelf in een rivier te verdrinken maar zijn auto zinkt niet, waarna Bruno hem een lift geeft. ...'

Weekend #Plankton Factoid 🦠🦐
The White Cliffs of Dover are an iconic formation often seen on television or films that can be over 100 m high. The white colour is chalk "biomicrite" formed by the compacted deposits from dense blooms of Coccolithophore phytoplankton covered with distinct plates of calcite (coccoliths) in a shallow sea during the Late Cretaceous. The dark bands of fli…

Ever notice how you're watching your own life from a slight distance?
Not depressed. Not burned out. Just... slightly absent.
When overwhelm lasts longer than we can process it, we adapt by feeling less. We function but don't fully inhabit our days.
The long dissociation kept us safe when feeling everything wasn't possible.
But survival was never the same thing as being alive.
What would it mean to gently come back?

The Long Dissociation and the Cost of Nonchalance: Why We Feel Numb, Detached, and Distant
An essay on how prolonged overwhelm teaches us to care less—and how we gently relearn presence, desire, and participation in our own lives.

The recording of the independent webcast #Vulcan launch - in which they are discussing the SRB nozzle malfunction from t 2:25 onwards (i.e. starting at 1:13:30), eventually showing lots of different angles on the debris falling from the rocket. ULA hasn't said yet whether the payload has reached the proper orbit, by the way.

TRAVIS: Right. [They go down some steps into a tunnel. Travis looks around.]
SERVALAN: Travis!
TRAVIS: Huh?
SERVALAN: It's this way. [They walk through wet tunnels, there are loud breathing sounds in the background.]
