I am absolutely loving NOT buying anything.

I only buy necessities (food, medication, sundries)

I’ve been repairing and repurposing clothes. Buying used items. Driving an awesome old car.

Every chance that I get to NOT buy something is cause for celebration.

I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre in c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk

Funding for special education is, by definition, part of DEI.

I hope the people who rattle on about DEI being a bad thing realize this.

But they won’t.

If this is seriously how cognitively deficient Lemmy is, then Lemmy is no better than Facebook.

Peer reviewers are expert volunteers. Peer reviewers are NOT paid to complete peer reviews. It is a form of volunteer work.

Peer reviewers DO hold jobs in their respective industries, and are PAID for their actual, non volunteer, jobs.

This is stupid. There are two completely separate variables here.

Peer reviewers review publications as part of their service to their respective communities. Unpaid.

Peer reviewers are PAID by their respective industry for the fucking job that they perform for that industry. Paid.

Imagine saying that soup kitchen workers were paid one billion dollars last year. In reality, the soup kitchen workers WORK FOR FREE. They have OTHER JOBS in which they earn money.

This is divisive, disingenuous bullshit.
