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!
ApobangpoPixelcats⁷ (@pixelcats@apobangpo.space)@Erzbet @girlbandgeek@mastodon.social @abuelaskpop @planetnine@mastodon.social I agree so much, .. but I would also hate to see the gatekeepery, condescending vibe that goes on in many fandom spaces leak over into this space. History is important. Culture and etiquette are also important. But, our ways of being evolve and grow, too. We have a range of eras of fans here, and all ways of stanning are valid.

"Scaled Accessibility: How Big Dutch Companies Manage Accessibility"
A keynote I gave at the Dutch accessibility conference NCDT. I presented my model for motivating and scaling accessibility.
Let me know what you think!

"The way we change things is by taking people with us, not by blaming them for not being there already."
I've seen this attributed to Tony Benn, but have been unable to find anything to back that up. Whoever said it, it's very true.
Oh no, the internet police are here! Apparently, age-verification is the magic wand that will wipe out entire identities with a mere "403 Forbidden" spell. 
Because nothing says "inclusive" like an error message from *nginx*.

Ms. Magazine · Age-Verification Laws Seek to Erase LGBTQ+ Identity from the InternetThe internet age-verification craze that’s sweeping the nation isn’t really about protecting little Dick and Jane from Pornhub—it’s about giving government and companies the power to decide what’s “harmful” and rolling back all Americans’ rights, especially those of LGBTQ+ people. This growing legislative trend has sparked a lot of concerns and First Amendment challenges, including a case now pending before the Supreme Court, Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton. These pernicious “for the children” bills would let politicians deem harmful LGBTQ+ content, or content about abortion rights, or even content about a political party other than their own. These are censorship bills, and let

Just so you know, web and other UI designers, If you want me to interact with one thing in your design and not another one and the only identifier is colour - I'm mostly going to hit the wrong one.
Stop using colour as the only or even primary identifier!
Also, use better contrast! This helps everyone not just me.
Parents can opt kids out of #LGBT book lessons, #US #Supreme #Court says
Isn't it a double standard to call LGBT-inclusive education 'indoctrination' while normalising straight relationships? Teaching only one narrative leaves LGBT kids feeling out of place and fuels bullying. True education embraces diversity and fosters acceptance. #EqualityInEducation #Inclusivity
saw a similar design on @debby 's banner and it resonated so hard rn i went looking for one online, found one by SalvadorDuarteLab on TeePublic.
