I still need to raise about $100 for books by Monday. I haven’t been asking because it’s embarrassing. But if you can help me grab my college texts, I’d appreciate it so much.

I did an hour long beginner’s breakdown on why age verification is extremely dangerous, bad, and leading to mass censorship, with tech policy expert @ericgoldman.bsky.social. What’s happening in the UK can and will happen here if we don’t fight it!

The issue with AI altering old movies that really sticks in my craw (beyond the obvious) is people chirping that they are just doing what the original filmmaker/creatives would have wanted.

I hate hate hate people digging up the corpse of a beloved artist and playing TCM Weekend at Bernies

Genuinely surreal watching public figures who enabled the genocide in Gaza suddenly go “oh wow this seems bad, someone should do something about this” after a year and a half.

I’ve been unable to work since May 10th, due to Covid, & it’s lingering fatigue. I’m getting super low on funds & really need help. I know that many of us are having a rough go, but if any of y’all could spare anything, me & my cats would be so grateful.

Btw, even when the scary article ends up being true, and woof, too many of them have been, sometimes I find this actually helps calm my nervous system down a little. Because you have to take a breath, read, and think more.
Pals, I've seen so much boomer-style mania posting. Read the article first. Read, like, the first three lines of the article. Google some of the words in the meme to make sure it's true. I know we're tired, but there's no excuse for posting like your parents.

They erased my trans fam and then they erased me. They've now scrubbed the B from Stonewall.
1. Earlier this year, Trump erased transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument webpage, digitally burning the history we helped create.

Now, he's doing the same to bisexual people.

No marginalized group will be safe from the admin's moving targets.

Really important video that anyone calling themself leftist or progressive should watch. If you’re calling for disabled people to be killed or celebrating knowingly killing/maiming disabled people you are not progressive, you are a fascist.

Disabled people do not owe their oppressors “kindness”

I don't mean to sound hysterical but there are some pretty clear historical examples of "force the urban-dwellers to the farms," and none of them are great.
Brooke Rollins on farm laborers: "There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which with 34 million able-bodied on Medicaid we should be able to do fairly quickly."

They are eugenicists who believe if you get sick it’s your fault, and wearables will provide them with “data” for the conclusion they’ve already reached. That’s it.
The US wants a wearable for all. Experts say it won’t fix the health crisis
The Secretary of Health Services wants every American to use a wearable device in the next four years. Experts say it's a great move, but not a cure-all.
