FYI its nothing personal if I don't follow you/follow you back, my brain has is fried and vetting people takes a lot of spoons. Even if I recognize you from somewhere else, I'm probably not going to follow until we've interacted so much I think I already have
Been getting more followers, so sharing this again. You're welcome to follow, you're welcome to lurk, my not following back means nothing. Also I have a near block on the ability to recognize people from one site to another unless they spell it out directly, it doesn't mean I don't value both of you

Seriously - if any of your social media companies informs you that stuff from your accounts has been turned over in compliance with a federal grand jury subpoena, SHUT THE FUCK UP IMMEDIATELY and stay shut up until you consult an attorney. Who will also tell you to stfu, but professionally.

life is beautiful and life is stupid that way
Both incidents really should be case studies in their own right because we'd be living in a very, very different world if either of these men had just decided to half-ass it that day. Critical thinking from ONE DUDE avoided nuclear war. Twice.

One girl said “it doesn’t matter if you ban a book because everyone can find that information online” and then I blew their minds by talking about how your search history can be monitored and sold to the government without your permission, but your library borrowing history requires a warrant.

Billie Eilish asked an important question: "If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?"
There are FIVE ways to accumulate a billion dollars:
1) Profiting from a monopoly
2) Insider-trading
3) Political payoffs
4) Fraud
5) Inheritance
Billionaires are the result of a failed system.

The Epstein case is a really important illustration of why erotic professionals deserve full legal rights and workplace protections.
Epstein and his clients were able to victimize so many girls and women because the victims risked imprisonment if they told police about his crimes.

Not when you're doing it just because you want to read a thing without paying, or the trouble and inconvenience finding a used copy, going to a library, or any of a wide range of other widely available non-infringing options.
At that point, you're also part of why we can't have nice things.

One of the strangest aspects of aging that they don't warn you about is watching as history gets rewritten right in front of your face and people 20 years younger than you confidently tell you about something you lived through and get it completely wrong.

I don't object to the idea that "the South" has a racist past and present. I object to essentialism that levels its people into a homogenous mass of bigots and to exceptionalism that demarcates particular forms of hate as regional, and therefore atypical for--rather than emblematic of--the nation.
