Why Twitter DMs and Facebook Messengers are an InfoSec nightmare, and what you should use instead | Topless Topics
Filtered word: nsfw
Finally finished editing this video (that I recorded and edited during my nsfw behind-the-scenes livestreams! every T/Th 12-3pm PST at joystick.tv/u/toplesstopics ) where I tried in my ignorant layman way to figure out some way of explaining a simplified version of internet security terms and processes, what the various "private" messengers are and their strengths and drawbacks, etc. Except that I couldn't get any of my infosec guys to agree on what anything meant, or what apps were the least terrible XD
Feel free to lay any info or links on me, and I'll add them to the website page for this video, toplesstopics.org/fbspying . If enough people request it, I might try again to put together a better-planned video with more to-the-point information about internet security, if I can get the tech guys to agree on anything, lol.

Rosalind Franklin’s research was crucial to discovering DNA’s double helix structure 🧬 but it was James Watson & Francis Crick who received the credit & Nobel Prize.
Unknown to Franklin, the pair saw her unpublished data & X-ray diffraction images, inspiring their model. They never acknowledged her contribution until after her death.
How many discoveries & innovations of #women do we attribute to the men who took credit for their ideas?

"There was never lipstick to contrast with her straight black hair, while at the age of thirty-one her dresses showed all the imagination of English blue-stocking adolescents"
This is Watson describing Franklin in The Double Helix.
Rosalind Franklin should be featured on the American Women's Quarter Series. The U.S. Mint has announced who will be featured in 2023--and she is not on their list. As far as I know, the mint has not announced who will be honored in 2024 and 2025.
I don't know if the 2024 and 2025 honorees have already been chosen, and if not--how to nominate someone.
But she definitely deserves to be honored.

#ThanksForTyping Spotlights Unnamed Women In Literary Acknowledgments
A professor shared book acknowledgment pages, where men thanked their wives for typing their manuscripts. #ThanksForTyping soon sparked a conversation on women and their uncredited roles in academia.NPR
In the middle of March 1953, Wilkins and Franklin were invited to Cambridge to see the (Watson/Crick) model, and they immediately agreed it must be right. It was agreed that the model would be published solely as the work of Watson and Crick, while the supporting data would be published by Wilkins and Franklin.
A good question for my students is to ask them to name female scientists and their contributions. Most find it difficult to name more than one.
Rosalind Franklin is a clearly awsome member of this list. Here are a few more you can investigate further if you are interested.
Jacqueline Barton, Chemistry
Jane Goodall, Primatology
Kathleen Booth, Computer Science
Donna Strickland, Optical Physics
Barbara McClintock, Cytogenetics
Francis Hamilton Arnold, Chemical Engineering
However, Rosalind Franklin was deceased when Watson and Crick, along with their supervisor Maurice Wilkins, all won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry, and the Nobel Prize is never awarded posthumously.
I believe it is likely that she would have been awarded the Nobel Prize with them if she had lived.

Woman in meeting: If we shift the first input to the other system we can eliminate two steps and complete the process in half the time.
Male coworker rolls his eyes and scoffs: No, (condescendingly) that would never work. Now, *Repeats what she just said exactly* If we shift the first input to the other system we can eliminate two steps and complete the process in half the time.
Male boss: Great idea Bob! Let's do that!
Franklin's treatment is particularly egregious.
(I heard an excellent podcast about it. Now to try and remember which one...)
And because she died so young there was never any opportunity - however belatedly - for her to enjoy any acknowledgment
BTW, she was one of RBG's heroes.
Here is an act of vandalism I totally get behind: people kept adding Franklin's name to the commemorating plaque on the wall of the Eagle pub Watson and Crick first announced their discovery in Cambridge. It was erased many times, but kept coming back. Eventually, the authorities decided that it was easier to leave it there.
Even such small victories are not obtained by asking politely.
It’s so encouraging to see this Rosalind Franklin article from @TheConversationUS now listed as current “News” on Mastodon - even though the piece is from 2020.
I wonder how many more brilliant women in science & history we can draw attention to & celebrate together here. /2
What did Crick and Watson discover?

Updated my #toplesstopics social media header for the new year, all the way from "uncensored male nipples" to "censored enough for Patreon" (read about that shizzle here: toplesstopics.org/patreonban/ )
Sure does feel good to know that the fight for #ToplessEquality / #TopfreeEquality / #genderequality #anticensorship / #freethenipple is only getting MORE oppressive towards #femalepresenting (or simply "judged to be female by algorithms" people 🙃
EDIT: forgot to add alt text but it doesn't seem to work in edit mode x.x So here's the alt text instead:
Four different versions of the Topless Topics social media banner, all of which say "Because it's 2023 yet social media platforms remain terrified of female chests" with previous years scratched out under the "2023," and a photo to the left, featuring a topless long-haired woman holding a paper notepad over her nipples that says "Sensitive media" "pornographic" "mature media" with a symbol for female written next to it, and a topless long-haired man with a hairy chest holding a sign UNDER his nipples (exposing them) with arrows pointing to his nipples and the words "somehow totally fine?!" along with the symbol for Male. Behind the couple peeks out a fully clothed infant with a curious expression :p
The four versions have an increasing level of censorship over them, with the "least censored" having a physical paper sign covering the woman's nipples while the man's nipples are visible; then a version with a red box and black text that says "censored for the patriarchy" placed over both sets of nipples; then a large, stretched oval Topless Topics logo covering both figures from chin to the bottom of the frame; then a version with the logo covering each person entirely, except for a very small uncensored part allowing their eyes to peek through (including just the baby's eyes)

Kroger projects $4.9 billion in profits in 2022.
Now it's purchasing Albertons, the second largest grocery store chain, for $25 billion.
Albertsons previously acquired Safeway for $9.2 billion.
Why are grocery prices up? Grocery store goliaths are buying the competition.
S. Jester reshared this.
Kroger is like half the size of Amazon, and Amazon is half the size of Walmart. Maybe Kroger is just trying to stay competitive by scaling up so we don't get left with just two places to buy groceries.
Graphic source: howtocook.recipes/wp-content/u…
You know, while the local Albertsons has higher prices, they don’t have the constant problems with keeping stock the way the local Ralph’s (Kroger) does.
Hopefully this does mean Albertsons starts having problems keeping the shelves stocked.
Last I checked, Kroger already owns 20 grocery store brands.
Last time I shopped there, variety was way down, and prices way up. Even on rubber bands. (Why rubber bands?)
