Another person who claims to be a "leftist" but is happy to pirate books. Authors are some of the worst paid workers out there, rarely coming even close to minimum wage for their work. Pirating ensure that only those who are independently wealthy or supported will be able to write and publish.
He lives in Montreal. Famous for not having access to literature.

Today I learned that stalking a 17 year old girl, writing up a 400 page 'dossier' about her, falsely reporting her to the police and smashing her phone does not constitute 'harassment'.

One wonders what *would*.

People who pirate books: “I just think art and literature should be FREE to everyone!”

Yes, I too would love to live in a world where art is accessible freely to all and yet artists are paid a living wage, but as this magical wagical pixie wixie land does not exist, please don’t steal from us.

I have had it with the justifications. The weaponization of poverty, neurodiversity, mental illness, all of it.

if you follow me and are using my RTs of authors' books to pirate books (many who are financially struggling, I might add), then frankly fuck off.

A 25-person startup is developing technology to block the sun and turn down the planet’s thermostat.

An enraging thread, but also revealing about how transphobia works in liberal states, with trans rights on paper but with a massive list of "terms and conditions" that leaves out many.

You have rights, sure, unless you're poor, a protester who angers conservatives, a prisoner, the list goes on...
Radaskiewicz-King was charged under hate crime statutes meant to deter violent symbolism such as nooses or swastikas--implying that a trans symbol is hateful or violent against Catholics. Those charges were dropped.

The judge denied her bail for 'public safety,' despite harming no human.

So I was invited to accept an award for "imagination in service to society." This forced me to think a bit about what "imagination," "service" and "society" mean to me.

We don’t need to reform ICE.
We don’t need alternatives to ICE.
We don’t need to engage in dishonest debates wondering what the U.S. would do without ICE.

ICE isn’t even 23 years old. Most adults know a world without ICE. And the billions used to fund ICE can be used to meet people’s basic needs.

To celebrate their birthday @phoenixblue.net and I had fondue and then watched BattleTech history videos because we are nerds. (There was a lot of hilarious semi-sober commentary, as you might expect.)

PayPal has rolled out a new "feature" that prompts you to leave feedback about an artist that you've commissioned via invoice.

Whatever you do, DO NOT fill this out! To quote Admiral Ackbar, "IT'S A TRAP!!!" It is meant to misguide you.
