Sure, generative AI may not be contributing greatly to climate change, but it’s still an environmental justice issue.

These data centers are raising utility costs, causing noise pollution, increasing the amount of e-waste, and impacting drinking water supplies in some cases.

Mayor Wu, we have bigger problems than soccer right now: bsky.app/profile/erin...

I hope someone raises hell at The Fenway Gala.

1. In a major capitulation to Trump, Fenway Health, a center ostensibly dedicated to LGBTQ+ healthcare, has ended its trans care program under 19.

It could have fought for its patients. It chose instead to roll over.

Community members are devastated.

cis Bostonians specifically, we need you to step up. I'm already seeing my local trans circles raise hell about this, but we need you, too. I wrote a phone script. Use it and spread it:

Seeing a lot of "No Kings" protests groups using AI images lately

You aren't resisting fascism by using their tools

Be better than that

what legal recourse do artists and museums have against international militaries stealing and using our work to commit warcrimes, since apparently that's a conversation we need to have now.

Two years of continued and livestreamed genocide following decades of occupation, colonization, ethnic cleansing, and war crimes is sitting heavy in our hearts and souls.

We must continue to fight for liberation beyond fiction. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. 🇵🇸

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

actually our AI programs are like people so its racist to say you don't like them. anyway would you like to buy one

this is so adorable, Yury!

Covid is a social justice issue.

Mitigations like masks, anti virals, air purifiers and tests cost money.

We should have free respirators in public places. Mandatory masking in hospitals. Clean air benchmarks. Paid time off.

Those steps would drastically reduce spread.

the flotilla tracker no longer shows any vessels, and the iof claims all but one boat has been intercepted - unclear which one 🙁🙁🙁
flotilla activists are being held in a high-sec prison, NOT normal for immigration detainees

Adding my voice to the chorus: the Sumud flotilla never entered Israeli waters. that is a lie. The Gazan coast is Palestinian territory (not even spiritually, like actually in international law) so the Sumud flotilla has not violated Israeli sovereignty. The Israelis intercepting them however…

As trans creators of color, we’re always on the lookout for cool projects by fellow marginalized artists.

The Black Market Guide to Immortality offers a decadently necromantic setting based on Korean, Chinese, and Japanese mythos — and it’s made by East Asian folks!

Because the Deaf community is extremely funny politicians definitely cannot count on a loving and complimentary sign name like this one—it really demonstrates people’s genuine enthusiasm

How Microsoft Workers Helped Halt a Major Contract With the Israeli Military

share.google/0F0tIgElubDf...

@aljazeera.com also has a live news feed covering the Global Sumud Flotilla, for those who can't watch the livestreams.

Keep pressuring Microsoft to end all complicity!
As a consumer, boycott Microsoft products whenever possible and join the Xbox boycott.

Microsoft will no longer allow Israel to use its cloud services to enable its mass surveillance of occupied Palestinians – "the first known case of a US technology company withdrawing services provided to the Israeli military since the beginning of its war on Gaza"

the husk of youtube is being propped up by an unfunny emu and I’m tired of it
