On one side of the ““trans debate”” you have proven, lifesaving treatment that prevents children from being suicidal and brings joy to lots of people, and on the other side you have unapologetic bigots who want to ruin other people’s lives out of spite. That’s pretty much it.

ICE observers in the Twin Cities are in need of dash cams to prevent further intimidation and frivolous claims.
Cams are $110, memory cards $35, and ship to us directly via this wish list: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...
If you've been looking for a way to help, we'd sure appreciate it!

Do not let the failures of prosecution post January 6th happen again. Every second you do not charge this person is a second the massive propaganda apparatus around the federal government will use to create a fog of lies to get him off. Arrest him immediately for killing an American citizen.

there is no centrism when innocent people are murdered in the streets by our government.
you either support women being shot in the head by ICE agents OR you support democracy & liberation.
the choice should be obvious, which side are you on?

Not sure how bad the deepfake problem is? Read Stella's farewell thread.
This is an extreme form of remote sexual harassment that can now be used to target anyone, regardless of platform, in seconds. Despite news stories focusing mostly on CSAM it's still unchecked and rampant on Twitter.

I‘m discontinuing my social media use for the foreseeable future and I want to explain why.
I woke up in the new year to discover that some guy on here had saved photos I took on New Year’s Eve and used Grok to remove my clothes. I know this because he showed me.

I’m doing Jananie Velu’s anti-brainrot challenge, so I’ve spent my early morning annotating A Psalm for the Wild Built. 45 minutes and I’m only three pages in.
This is gonna be fun.

But okay, for everyone wondering why Susie Wiles said all that shit…
It was all a smokescreen for this ONE statement.
Everything else she said was designed to make you say “oh… look… she’s being honest”… just so you’d believe this one thing.

Really good brunch with a really good friend, and then tea and reading all afternoon. If I ignore literally the rest of the world, it’s a great day.

Hey, would it be weird and off-putting if I tried to actively get pretentious and overly intellectual as a form of political protest? Everything’s getting so stupid and it’s really pissing me off.

A mourning dove flew past me and I could hear its wings slicing through the air.
Autocorrect just tried to turn my attempt at “mourning” into “morbid”.
