Jeffery Epstein collaborated with major figures in tech like Peter Thiel to target trans people, especially trans women.

This thread is about how I & many others have been directly affected in the tech industry by this coordinated campaign of transphobia & hatred.

the confirmation of contemporary transphobia as a political movement has been the brainchild of a boys club made up of some of the most disgusting monsters in recent memory to explicitly keep trans women disenfranchised so as to subjugate and exploit us for their own sexual gain is like

I'm helping run an archaeological field school on the Oregon Coast this summer! Please share with any interested students! 🏺
Flyer with photos of archaeological fieldwork. Flyer text: Indigenous Methodology: Southern Oregon University Summer Archaeological Field School SOAN 375, 23 June - 15 July, 2026 Spend the Summer doing the archaeology on the Oregon Coast! This Field School is an intensive four week, 4-credit course (SOAN 375, 4 credits, + $250 fee) where students participate in archaeological investigations on the beautiful Oregon coast. The Field School will introduce students to archaeological method and theory, remote sensing, survey, excavation, GPS use, artifact identification, stratigraphy, and public and Tribal outreach through fieldwork, field trips, and guest speakers. Students will learn about collaborative work, and the use of low-impact and decolonizing methodologies developed and favored by Oregon's Tribal people. Work will take place in Coos and Curry County in two, 10-day sessions on either side of the 4th of July weekend. Students will participate in archaeological test excavations, geophysical survey, and pedestrian survey. For more information, contact: Mark Axel Tveskov, PhD Professor, Sociology and Anthropology Department tveskovm@sou.edu Flyer text: Additional information: Participants will camp together during the field school. The project will take place in two sessions: June 23-July 2, and July 6-July 15, with a break in between for the 4th of July weekend. Participants will live in tents at a field camp on the rainy Oregon coast, so students should be prepared for inclement, wet, and muddy conditions. Food will be cooked communally and the camp maintained by all participants. Transportation to and from Ashland at the beginning and end of both sessions is provided, but students are welcome to bring their own transportation as well. Students will need to provide their own camping gear and field clothing (including boots), but food and archaeology gear will be provided. The area provides many amazing opportunities for hiking and exploration. All participants must be able to meet the strenuous physical and social demands of archaeological excavation and hiking under rugged field conditions in the rain and mud of the Oregon coast. All participants will be working and living together in close quarters, and the ability to get along with others is essential. The class is open to students of any background, with the only prerequisites being an interest in archaeology and an ability to work hard as part of the team. All participants are expected to understand and follow Southern Oregon University Student Code of Conduct All students must obtain instructor approval to enroll in the class. Enrollment is limited. Students should contact Mark Axel Tveskov at tveskovm@sou.edu for an application The deadline for priority acceptance is May 1, 2026

Would love an outright ban on holiday homes. Beautiful houses that could be permanent homes lying idle and unoccupied for most of the year is madness.

One of the og illustrations for the Quickstart Guide, of a swarm, elder woman knitting some sort of chronicle of the events near her settlement.
#GutterPlanet
An elderly woman sitting on a blocky, wooden chair, knitting some sort of scarf with a square pattern. In each of the squares there seems to be symbols, scenes and places, Her clothes seem comfortable, but stitched from several pieces of cloth. She has insect-like pincers and a bug eye is peeking from her right temple.

a painting of a U.S federal ICE agent with decaying features. a thin, veil-like mask barely covers an open bloodstained mouth. small hollow eyes shine dead. text along the bottom echoes the cadence of the demoralizing broadcasts by Thu Hương or ‘Hanoi Hannah’ that aired to the during the Vietnam War. it reads: Your mask is quickly thinning agent. we will soon know your face. your mask is soaked with blood agent. there is nothing for you here but your withering. you are weak. you have no real cause. you are pathetic. the story that they feed to you is a lie, agent. you are a tool of politicians that do not care if you die. your impunity will vanish as soon you are used. you defend no one. the people hate you, agent. they scream and blow whistles and bang drums and carry bricks when they see you coming. they greatly outnumber you. take off your mask and leave, agent. before it is ripped from your face.

A black and white icon of a ship at sea, its sails billowing in strong tailwinds. What is not evident from the image is that this ship is a ghost ship. No crew, no passengers. Yet still the ship sails, its riggings expertly maintained as if by invisible hands. Do you not believe there are spirits at sea? Why should only land be loved by ghosts? The watery part of the world is the greater part of the world, and surely whatever happens on terra firma happens on the swells of the sea as well. The vast watery vaults of the ocean ache with countless dead and this boat is theirs.

Would not be surprised if this is -exactly- what this feature was implemented for.

Well within Musk's ethos to bring in something that discourages women from posting - clearly trying to regress to the days where simply being a woman online was seen as an invitation for sexual harassment.

So we just accept this then? This is a legitimate use of technology going forward? This vile individual's account is just prompt after prompt asking Al to alter real-life images of women. The law needs to catch up with technology now - because we can't trust these tech companies to police themselves

Gen AI is a tool of late stage capitalism, the goal of which is to cognitively disable everyone not in the elite class. To Sam Altman and co, the likes of you and me are NPCs, our role is to consume and spend so they can accumulate wealth and power. But it will only work if we allow it to.

They literally all went to the same university. Their policies on immigration are barely distinguishable, they all identify government with administrating austerity, they've all backed the genocide in Gaza. Thinking people like this are sooo different is itself what people hate about our politics.

PILINGS.BMF
A set of pilings—timbers slathered with creosote and driven into the seabed of a port or bay to support docks and piers. When the docks and piers rot away, the pilings remain, like wooden sentries guarding the shore. I cannot explain why, but I find the sight of pilings eerie. A lone seabird resting on the pilings only adds to the emptiness. It’s as if there’s an abandoned civilization under the water, the ruins of which have surfaced for one last dying gasp of air. Why, when there are ruins all around me, do I find pilings to be the most mournful?

I wish a joyous Christmas to all who celebrate. May you have a truly wonderful time 🎄🎅.

This #Roman glass spherical bottle would make great #Christmas bauble, but it was used to hold perfume and loose powder. The contents were sealed inside the delicate cosmetic container, and...🧵1/2

The picture shows a spherical bottle made of blue glass, decorated with a white spiral thread. It is lying on its side on a light surface, with a delicate gold chain and small round pendants spilling from a knob at the top.

"man with balloon"
a painting of a creature that looks like a man in a trenchcoat and hat, inside it's raw flesh, intestines and small curled arms. its face is a sinewy hole. its intestine is floating up and inflates into a glowing balloon shape with red splotches loosely making a smily face

Commission - Devil Bird.
Digital, monochrome art of an anhinga bird, which is a fairly big bird with a long neck, in dark colors. Its wings spread, its tail touching the ground and its neck circling a black sphere, or sun, in the centre of the picture. To both sides, simetrically, and from up to down, we can see a couple of torches on stands, a couple of coins or decorative plates with women in them and a couple of ceramic, ritualistic-like bowls. The mood is esoteric.

IQ is a measure of how good you are at IQ tests, which is something informed by how familiar you are with taking academic tests (& thus the quality of your school, which is in part determined by your parents' wealth, etc). there's nothing in particular that makes them a good test of intelligence

🔹Interested in nature, reading, the past, puzzles
🔹Major sleep disorder scuppered my initial career plans (creative writing - likely dodged a bullet there!)
🔹Long-held interest in and broad scope of archaeology made it the perfect choice

“If Labour don’t do this, we’ll get a Reform government”

Trans people, disabled people, migrants, people of colour and people seeking asylum already have a Reform government.

You just want to feel superior to those who like the idea of Nigel Farage as PM.

Hello.
Sketch like drawing of a couple of hands holding a mobile phone showing the picture of a white, elderly woman with seemingly calm expression. In the phone, a text above it says: “I have to warn you, per law: Family Simulacrums won’t be perfect copies with incomplete data. I suggest you let me access your systems’ audio and chat logs for an authentic, dynamic experience”. Below the picture, a caption says: “Trying to finish mum’s setup”.

To reiterate, this is about making life immeasurably more miserable and stressful for some of the most vulnerable people, in the almost certainly vain hope of winning over the votes of racists.

Anything more shabby and shameful is difficult to envisage.
