When social media apps like this one allow knowing allowing bots to take over this app and let them make accounts and have their followers make false reports to ban , label or suspend a account this is should be against community guidelines. When moderators don’t respond back when offered a apeal

Wake up babes, the most wonderful thing has finally happened.

Backing up Spotify annas-archive.li/blog, 2025-12-20, Discuss on Hacker News We backed up Spotify (metadata and music files). It’s distributed in bulk torrents (~300TB), grouped by popularity. This release includes the largest publicly available music metadata database with 256 million tracks and 186 million unique ISRCs. It’s the world’s first “preservation archive” for music which is fully open (meaning it can easily be mirrored by anyone with enough disk space), with 86 million music files, representing around 99.6% of listens.

Anarchism is not a romantic fable but the hardheaded realization, based on five thousand years of experience, that we cannot entrust the managementiof our lives to kings, priests, politicians, generals, and county commissioners Edward Abbey

People have always been open about what they are about. Calling them nazis was always apt. Don't let right wingers scare you into thinking our ideas aren't valid

The image illustrates a digital cartoon with two stick figure characters. The larger figure, labeled "Experienced activists," is clad in blue, ornate armor and wields a shield to protect the smaller character, labeled "New activists." Arrows labeled "hate from the status quo" target them from the left, but the armor shields the new activist. The experienced activist offers encouragement, saying, "That's really well done! Try this also!" The cartoon's message, conveyed in the caption, is about nurturing and welcoming new people into a movement: "please stop shaming new people wanting to get involved, that is not how you grow a movement." This art is credited to "SRGRAFO."

Disabled people are one of the main targets of police brutality. Disabled organizing and the fight against ableism are not minor things, they are an essential component of anti-state action. Without accessibility, you are not anti-state. CW police brutality

A tumblr post by a person called Unbossed with a reply by someone called CandidlyAutistic. The first says "Treat a cop just like you treat a gun when you don't know whether it's loaded or not. Assume that it is loaded and that it could cause someone's death at any time. Remember that a cop, unlike most firearms, has no safety mechanism or standard method for "clearing" them. Never point a cop at anyone whose blood you could not accept having on your hands." The next post says "Those of you who are here for the autism, search "autism police brutality" and read the NYT article. If you are allistic, if you have autistic kids, if you teach autistics, if your brother's mother's niece's cousin is autistic, then look at the statistics on how much more likely we are to have encounters with the police. Then look at how much more likely we are to have violence used against us by police. Next, look at the videos and see just how many of those interactions show autistic exhibiting typical autistic behavior. Finally, pay close attention to how many of those are initially escalated by the police. Yelling. D4opping their voice. Hand on weapon. Giving non-explicit orders. Telling them to calm down. Telling them to do something unclear (drop the weapon when they are holding a cellphone, toy gun, a screwdriver, a stick, a knife, a toy train - all real examples, or anything that has a more explicit name). Walking closer when autistics can't back away. Running up. Sirens on. Flashing lights. Radios making noise. Loved ones telling the police the autistic doesn't understand. This is what happens when you point the police at one of us. Then go back and look at how many of those autistics are POC. How many are specifically black. And view it through the lens of institutional racism and anti-blackness and white supremacy on top of all the ableism. Ask yourself, is it worth being the person who pushed the first domino that started the machine that ultimately killed a person? Because that is the risk when you call the police."

When I was relearning to walk I probably looked "able-bodied" enough despite my cane. Truth was, I needed frequent breaks to sit because it was exhausting and painful.

Maybe mind your own fucking business and catch that flight instead of worrying about people that don't look disabled enough to you

It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love.

As a community, especially a minority of the population, we have less energy. Being forced to explain our existence 1 on 1 is a drain of energy from our class to our oppressors and so upholds systematic oppression. We do not need permission or understanding to exist

Text above a person in a wheelchair and an adult with two kids says "I am not your teachable moment". The adult is saying to the kids: 'It’s ok, kids. Go ahead and ask him anything. He won’t mind.' Next is a person wearing a shirt and pants talking to a person wearing a hijab shirt and a skirt. Text above saying "It is not my job to educate you" while the guy says "Why do you wear that scarf?". The next one is a guy in a train car forcing a blind person onto a seat. There is the text "I am not something to be acted upon to make you feel good about yourself. The guy says "There's a free seat behind you. Here let me help." The blind person says "no thanks I'm good." . The other person then says "There you go buddy, you're welcome"."

New Illustration: "We Beat 'Em Before..."

Taken from a British WW2 poster, the original features a WW1 German soldier at the top. I just swapped it for the Nazi soldier it had at the bottom.
A propaganda poster in a painterly style. At the top there is a Nazi soldier in a faded grey with his hands raised at the point of a bayonet. Above him it says "We beat 'em before.." Below him in darker grey is an ICE agent in the same posture, with a hand pushing back at him, its palm out in a "stop" gesture. Below it says "We'll beat 'em again!"
