If you're the parent of a trans kid, it is now your responsibility to find out how to obtain HRT for your child. You didn't sign up to be a criminal, but when the state criminalizes your child, it's your job to stand up and put yourself on the line for them

Six families and a camp—dozens of people—get support to survive through this link. Our hope is to bring them dependable support in such uncertain days, but even that support is becoming uncertain.

this is just basic psychological self defense.

ads - not all ads, but many ads - want to make you FEEL BAD.

they want to create in you a feeling of loss, a feeling of absence, that they can promise to fill with their product.

don’t let them! turn that shit off the moment it comes on.

At the gpg.fail talk and omg #39c3

You can just put a \0 in the Hash: header and then newlines and inject text in a cleartext message.

Won’t even blame PGP here. C is unsafe at any speed.

gpg has not fixed it yet.

well this is a new one

if you fuck up programming in C that's purely your own skill issue and C is *not to be blamed* because you should have known C is the shit ass footgun language to begin with?

man you can't just play both sides
Pinning the blame on C instead of who wrote the code is just absurd. It's like letting a knife fall point down on your foot and blaming the knife because it's sharp. If you don't pay enough attention to this kind of mistakes and still decide to use C, things like this become foreseeable.

deeply unfun fact:

you can get STIs from things that were done to you while you were blacked out or unconscious even if you aren’t sexually active

get tested 2–4 times a year even if you aren’t especially promiscuous so you know before finding out through an infected partner

By the way, if you were fans of The Escapist back in the day, go give the folks at @secondwindgroup.com a follow, that's where all the talent has moved onto, and are doing better than anything the zombie Escapist is putting out.

Okay real talk, the only sense in which GenAI is "here to stay" is that even after the bubble pops, AI is digital asbestos that is poisoning everything and we'll probably be picking the detritus out of everywhere it's ended up for years, assuming there's a will to remove it en masse that is.

authoritarianism just straight-up doesn’t get used to punish Nazis

it almost exclusively gets used to hurt minorities

remember this next time you think an authoritarian policy might be good because “at least it will hurt bigots and abusers too”

🐿️just found out that those harry potter skins are almost $11??? instead of supporting transphobia, you can support transgender and get our puzzle game on sale for $6.99! I've made a graphic to compare

store.steampowered.com/app/3284270/...
cyansorcery.itch.io/blobun

#indiedev #gamedev #gamemaker
a two part graphic. in the first part, there's a crude drawing of harry potter looking sad and holding on to his wand wrong. Text on the top says "Harry Potter's Skin." Bullet points read: - 1500 V Bucks (whatever that is) - Comes out to like $10.71? In this economy? - doesn't even look like harry potter in the game - robe's too big for him - that's not even a magic wand that's a churro - has a giant red X drawn by him so you know he's the bad option - wait did that say "Harry Potter's Skin" bro why are you taking his skin off that's gross? - over 1/3rd of money in a case in scotland brought against trans people was donated by JK Rowling (source: lgbtqnation) This ends the first bullet list. On the right side, there's a drawing of Stephanie, a green anthropomorphic green slime rabbit. The text at the top says "Blobun" and she's also accompanied by bullet points, which are: - $6.99 on sale on Steam or itch - certified lesbian, her girlfriend is in the game and they nuzzle noses at one point to prove they're gay - made by one trans woman - has a green checkmark by her so you know she's the right one - she's also green so that proves it - you can remove the lesbians but if you do that the game wont work - game doesn't require kernel level anti-cheat like fortnite - also set in a magical world but in this one there's canon magical processes for transition - she's literally a bunny rabbit - you don't have to hide that you're playing blobun from your friends to keep them from bugging you This is the end of the second bullet list

Dr. Kirk Moore did not deny giving fake COVID-19 vaccine cards and throwing out vaccine doses. “All that stuff is true,” he told @sltrib.com and ProPublica.

I feel like that makes it worse, bc it underscores that it's not just (using just loosely) RFK Jr randomly being a conspiracy addled eugenicist wackjob -- this catastrophe was coordinated and had the backing of the conservative legal movement
elizabethjacobs.bsky.social Elizabeth Jacobs, PhD @elizabethjacobs.bsky.social · 9d
It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.

It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.

And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).
Screenshot from project 2025 that says By statute or regulation, CDC guidance must be prohibited from taking on a prescriptive character. For example, never again should CDC officials be allowed to say in their official capacity that school children "should be" masked or vaccinated (through a schedule or otherwise) or prohibited from learning in a school building. Such decisions should be left to parents and medical providers. We have learned that when CDC says what people "should" do, it readily becomes a "must" backed by severe punishments, including criminal penalties. CDC should report on the risks and effectiveness of all infectious disease-mitigation measures dispassionately and leave the "should" and "must" policy calls to politically accountable parties. Conflicts of Interest. There was a time when the CDC could not take money
