(photo courtesy of @spectrebird.bsky.social)

flat-chested woman in her early 30s sitting in an old chair, dressed in a pair of ratty jeans with blown-out knees and thermal leggings underneath. she is wearing dirty canvas sneakers, a backwards baseball cap, a necklace with a flint arrowhead, and a tee shirt that reads:

"God wants you to get a sex change."

she is surrounded by old furniture, band posters and etchings on the wall behind her.

Saw this old New a Yorker comic and thought of @cowtoolsdaily.bsky.social

A New Yorker comic. In the center it says Little things. Surrounding the center are sketches of doo-dads with names like “kellat “ and “sood”

UK Gouvernment: Payment Processors Can Ban NSFW Content
According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

same guys who are "concerned!!!! about women's sports" when it means excluding and isolating trans girls from sport lol. misogyny all the way down. for so many men, women's sports is something inherently lesser and another stage for objectification and comedy with female athletes as the punchline

Today I showed the designers that you can name cells in spreadsheets and use the names in formulas (i.e. "=PLAYER_LEVEL" instead of "=C12"). You can then use the Name Manager to track or rename them. I thought this was common knowledge, but I guess not, so sharing that tidbit here.

this is why lD verification is the wrong move, to be resisted at every turn: the stewards of that data are not savvy or sophisticated enough to keep it secure.

the concept of information that can be viewed by publicly by anyone, but somehow excludes an unknown subset of the public that you do not like is not something that can logically exist

for example, there is a spectrum of fair or unfair things that can happen if you (a cis person) commit a crime and are sent to prison

but i will most likely be placed in a men's prison and raped to death no matter the crime/sentence (V coding) with the alternative being solitary confinement forever

Mother Jones @motherjones.com · 3d

Under the Third Reich, most Germans generally lived in the law-bound normative state, while Jews and other disfavored people were victims of the arbitrary and violent prerogative state.

The dual state is characterized by the facade of normalcy obscuring the fact of an authoritarian state.

The “dual state” theory was invented to describe Nazis. The Supreme Court could take us there.

Authoritarianism—but make it look like the rule of law.
