People need to stop telling others to go to therapy. The therapy system is highly corrupt and we need to acknowledge and talk about the power society gives mental health providers and how it is weaponized against people. You can't buy sincere support and honesty from a stranger

I understand why people *want* the police to intervene--normies are like, 'I thought cops are supposed to arrest people doing crimes, ICE is right there doing crimes, go do your thing'

but police organizations take nearly every opportunity to be like, 'oh you misunderstood what our thing is'

The Fraternal Order of Police is on the side of MAGA and against the people they are supposed to be "policing." I think this says a lot to the people who insist local police are going to be "resistance."

Schools like to pretend that there are objective measures, but so much of it comes down to "does the professor like you or have some beef with you?" especially in subjective subjects. Teachers can just choose not to accommodate disabled students for example, and have little recourse when they

Having a fun work situation because a blind user who needs the right control key for screen reader software can no longer get one on new laptops because of the copilot key, and unlike almost every other kb key, that key can’t be remapped because it sends Windows+Shift+F23 so it’s not one button.

What has happened here is basically that data from the journals was collected for the sake of a "quality control" measure.

Then, that same data was used in published research, a completely separate purpose, without the consent of the people affected.

This is an EXTREME violation of research ethics

The way that major healthcare institutions have just decided the rules don't apply when it comes to trans people. Research ethics? Consent? Basic human dignity? Those would just be too inconvenient and it's only a bunch of trannies.

Oslo University Hospital caught using trans patients' journals for research purposes:
- Without the patients' consent to participate in research
- Affecting minors
- 1700 of them
- Taking highly sensitive information from said journals

This is a HUGE breach.

What’s up with this… Is 1) The Hive really being used, and 2) using images here for generative AI? Pretty bad look if true

To anyone thinking about joining BlueSky, especially artists: everything you post is used to train generative Al models.
BlueSky uses Al to label content for moderation, and to do that they use a company called https://t hehive.ai/. If you look through their privacy policy, you will see that they all content sent to them to train models for all their services, which include generative Al for both text and images.
It's a built in «feature" and cannot be turned off.

3 MAGA extremists have re-intro'd a bill that allows South Carolina to execute women who receive an abortion. If you haven't heard about S 323, it's because corporate media has completely ignored it.

Here's the overview, the sponsors, & how to fight back:

Wild idea. I think consumers should be able to opt out of sharing an electric grid with data centers. I had the choice to pay a little extra on my bill to use clean energy years ago. I opted in, and the difference was minimal. Yet I wasn't given any choice about propping up a water guzzling Ai mill

NEW: In May, a Texas police department said they used the powerful Flock surveillance network against a woman who had an abortion "for her safety"

Newly obtained court records show it was a 'death investigation,' and they considered charging her with a crime

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

From bravewave.net/interviews/t...

Mo: Do you remember the first time you met someone who said they loved your work on Mega Man 2?

Tateishi: You’re the first, in 2013. No one else has.

Mo: Wow. I’m surprised. I don’t even have a follow-up question… how could no one come up and say something.

Tateishi: …

Mo: Now that you know how big Mega Man 2 is outside of Japan, do you look fondly back at the soundtrack?

Tateishi: Yeah, my thoughts have changed since I met you and became more aware of how people felt. But even when I was at Konami, I didn’t even bother telling anyone I did Mega Man 2. So the fact you came all the way to Japan to tell me these things makes me very happy I worked on the game all those years ago.

This whole “don’t take the bait” narrative being spun up by the resist account networks is pure counter insurgency. If fascists are trying to do violence against you and your community by all means protect yourself in any way you can. Do not comply in advance and “do nothing” in the face of fascism.

Bluesky'Inc. has recently established that as long as you're using ANY of their resources, THEY will decide what you may post, or if you're even allowed to have an acct.

There are major changes coming Oct. 15, when their new rules will be enforced. This will be massive; I expect a purge of accts.
