If you're up for it, this is an important read on Down Syndrome. But if this emotional roller coaster is not what you want today, save it for later.

And if you haven't seen it, Frank Stephens' speech at the UN from 2018 is worth your time.

@tsvenson I did notice how Goofle also struggles with "diskar". Kind of odd.
↪ Replying to @tsvenson
@tsvenson Interesting! In lowercase Goofle assumes pronoun, and in uppercase it appears to assume this is a person's name.
This problem has been known by Google for many years and will keep being pointed out. By now it's of course glaringly obvious how Google/Alphabet has no direct interest in addressing how their translation service cements and perpetuates prejudice.

The irony is that Google has claimed to "fix" gender translations, first in 2018 and then again in 2020. But read this article to understand how they don't even have a fundamental grasp of the problem. 🤯

And yes I'm aware Google can offer up two options when there is only one sentence. But obviously could code he/she for all sentences if they wanted, and could offer up an explanation of gender neutral pronouns.
If they wanted.

@CarlosHaertel Haha, I get a lot less of "friends from the past" encounters after I deleted Facebook. People are generally lazy, don't look past Facebook. Or e-mailing is too much friction. It fhecks out: If you don't know me well enough to e-mail me then maybe you don't know me. 😅

@jockeholm Thanks Joakim, I'll have a think about that. Important to remember that it's not a manifesto but a tool for understanding what needs to be adressed or tends to go wrong. But I obviously have to clarify some bits, and this is exactly why I share early: for the feedback. :)
Each of these elements has 2-3 stories tied to them from the last 3-4 years. And I can think of many ways to practically use the tool. Slowly dawning on me that this is likely the book I've been getting ready to write. x.com/axbom/status/1…
I get that your web app may not work on mobile, but if you don't even let me *create an account* on mobile then you may have lost my attention as I may not remember you in the noise that is the Internet. Also @meetbutterio is the account linked from Butter.us?
If you see this graphic doing the rounds, it’s by the brilliant @fosslien and @molliewest of @lizandmollie. Remember to credit makers.
This image retains the signature twitter handle, but sadly I often see this cropped out of the picture :(

@beantin Oh yes, this I'd forgotten about! The hunt, when you turn up after everyone's left and you need to remember (or find out from others) what the usual places are. Or you just went home again.
↪ Replying to @autiomaa
@autiomaa I certainly wrote a lot of non-fiction back then...
Sometimes I struggle to remember how we met with our friends before the cell phone and let people know we were late. Because we couldn't. And we just stood there. Waiting. Looking at the world pass by. And it was the most normal of things. And it provided a moment of reflection.

@argonaut 🙌 The effort required for this is often underrated.

@nickf We've just started the process of moving to our "summer house" which will become our permanent residence. Will be selling our apartment by summer. The pandemic hugely contributed to this decision.

@nickf Cool! If you feel good about it I have a hard time seeing why not ;)
