40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

J’espère que ces films seront montrés à Nice a l'#UNOC en Juin. Tout acte manqué, toute négociation frileuse, toute manipulation pour faire croire que l'on protège alors que l'on tolère ce genre de pratique, est pris en conscience & connaissance, celles de la destruction du non-humain, a terme nous.

On parle souvent du devoir de mémoire, plus rarement de la mémoire des horreurs de la colonisation. Découvrez ce que les cours d'Histoire ne vous ont pas forcément appris:

@iriskv.bsky.social Je n'ose imaginer ta peine. Courage. Je te souhaite de trouver soutien et réconfort, personne ne devrait en être dépourvu. Ta souffrance ne te limite pas, elle ne te rend pas moins digne, elle n'occulte pas tes qualités. Tu as toute mon empathie, DMs ouverts si besoin.
