Just a reminder that Wikipedia is the only remaining reliable source of information that right wing billionaires can't control. (Although they'll never stop trying.)

Please donate to them whenever you can. Even a little bit helps.

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist):

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much.

you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

This is a necessary, although vague and incomplete framework for understanding the needs of moderation on censorship resistant platforms. The ability to create, share/export, and use/import block lists would be a reasonably useful feature. Censorship via spam is particularly unclear here.

Lucy ($10/$200) @lucy.helltop.net · 2d

For example, defamation by Slander/Libel/Defamation is like the phrase “All gay people are pedophiles”, it is a false statement with the intent of ascribing criminality to a group of people who are likely not said criminals.

Censorship by slander/libel/defamation is a form of censorship that is based on lies told with the intent and desire to silence groups or individual who is being lied about, often this is minimized as being called “fake news”.

Lucy ($10/$200) @lucy.helltop.net · 2d

Censorship by spam is intentional and maliciously directed massive amounts of irrelevant and unwanted posts and messages with the intent of drowning out the speech of undesirable individuals and groups.

Lucy ($10/$200) @lucy.helltop.net · 2d

Censorship by intimidation is an act or course of conduct directed at a specific person to cause that person to fear or apprehend fear for the specific purpose of silencing an individual or group, this is often normalized and treated as merely “Offensive” speech.

Censorship by harassment is either individuals who are intentionally regular and unwarranted actions of one individual or group on another individual or group with the intention to silence the other individual or group.

Lucy ($10/$200) @lucy.helltop.net · 2d

Censorship by harassment, censorship by intimidation, censorship by spam, and censorship by slander/defamation/libel.
These are other factors that are commonly misunderstood by so called “Free Speech Advocates”.

it always blows my mind when these people act like “the left just calls everyone nazis” these days and it’s like no. we’re calling nazis nazis! there just happens to be a lot of them in and around the government these days!

Eli Valley @elivalley.bsky.social · 3d

More history from this Nazi adulated by the Trump team. These are explicit, proud Nazis who scream and cry and call every referee they can find when you quote their Nazism back to them.

Multiple tweets from Nazi Jack Posobiec in 2016 making "jokes" involving the Nazi code "1488."

YES ON 50, CALIFORNIA!

It's a temporary solution to what will become an intractable problem if it doesn't pass. We cannot let Trump and the GOP steal unrestrained power. It's bad enough that SCOTUS refuses to rein him in - if he is able to commandeer Congress, democracy is over for US.

When @aceottorney.bsky.social first told me about this I said "this could change people's lives and stop developers from getting exploited" and having seen the final resource, I think I was not wrong. I'd call it a must-bookmark for indie devs.

Now: Debt Collective Raises Hand to Purchase Chunk of Federal Government Student Debt Portfolio

The Debt Collective has purchased billions in household debt over the past decade

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, after a new POLITICO report that the Trump administration is “exploring options to sell off parts of the federal government’s $1.6 trillion student loan portfolio to the private market,” the Debt Collective is announcing its willingness to purchase the entire portfolio for its true market value. The Debt Collective will then subsequently cancel the debt.
