How someone treats defenseless animals is the truest way to see their character, imo.

Not being kept informed of things continues to be deeply uncomfortable and frustrating. It makes me feel like I don't matter.

Period is due basically any time from now, and I am so uncomfortable and out of it. Pretty sure a migraine is on the horizon also, since I keep making stupid mistakes, getting confused, reading comprehension is all askew.

#savespeech #notodigitalID Minnesota HB 4138(age verification bill) was just presented to the governor. i had hoped it missed the session deadline but i was wrong. legiscan.com/MN/bill/HF41... mn.gov/governor/con... here's how to contact the governor. Tell him to vote NO on HF 4138

I wish tech literate people would actually run Ofcom. Like please, someone put me in charge of 'em, I'd set 'em straight. Would purge the stagnant Blairitis right out of them. Cure them of their Mary Whitehouse curse. It'd be awesome, and parents would be taught how to parent again.

A coronation process set up by the Director of Labour Together, allowed to proceed only having been grilled and greenlit by that faction, being deliberately vague on policy while loudly signalling right, with mates hoping vibes will see him through. Congratulations: you have invented Keir Starmer.

WE HAVE BEEN HERE BEFORE

Seems mighty unfair that you guys get to wash your hands of all the problems you've caused, as a result of mandating such predatory data collection.

Remind us again how platforms determine which users are adults and which are children? Surely, nothing bad has happened as a result of all of the ID scans that you're mandating corporations collect on your behalf, hmm? No ID-related hacks nor leaks have happened since the OSA came into effect?

Testing a different virtual keeb: AnySoftKeyboard. It's pretty quirky. I think I prefer florisboard overall, but this one has predictive and autocorrect, so idk.

The moth is definitely okay! It's chillin' on my wall rn.

Just saved a moth from drowning in my water cup using a teaspoon and some tissue.

We lost another legend. Tom Kane has passed away today, who was best known for voicing Professor Utonium and HIM from "The Powerpuff Girls." His voice will always be with my childhood. Thank you for the wonderful memories, Tom. May Rest in Peace🕊️

‼️ Red Alert for Online ID Checks in California: Right now legislators are pushing A.B. 1709, a bill that would ban everyone under the age of 16 from social media & mandate an online ID check for everyone else ‼️ www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

“In October 2024, U.S. officials revealed that [Salt Typhoon] had compromised internet service provider (ISP) systems used to fulfill CALEA requests used by U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies to conduct court-authorized wiretapping.”

Tell your MP that laws like this are why the US now have top level communications on Signal Chat. As it was one of the few programs that DIDN’T build a backdoor for the US government and as a result, one of the few avenues of messaging that WASN’T hacked by China.

Canadians, one of the most important things you can do is send a letter to your MP about this. This would be the end of privacy for Canadians: dontsurveil.me/c22.html

I keep seeing millennial content creators forcing the 67 meme into their vids. Did millennials have some kind of meeting or conference recently about ruining the meme for the youth, by behaving like a bunch of "how do you do fellow kids" boomers? Why was I not invited?

Oi, yank, you got a loicence for that webbysite? www.reddit.com/r/LegalAdvic...

Thinking about trance rn.

Despite feeling too drained to do much of anything this week, I've really enjoyed the peace and freedom. Not super looking forward to tomorrow, I'm sad to say. Could've done with another week.

We showed up with privacy experts & human rights advocates in Boston this week in opposition to proposed MA social media legislation with online ID check systems, that would require ALL users to upload sensitive documents or have faces scanned to prove their age. www.wwlp.com/news/massach...

I wanted to like the Fairphone 6 so much, and I do. There's a lot to like about it, but omg, I moved over to a Pixel 10a running GOS and the experience is so much smoother. I was forced to make a bigger switch over than intended, and had to move my sim card over to the Pixel, when I realised...

Between this and an official BAFTA account sharing the cross-section makeout session between underage characters as though it isn't against the law in the UK...I'm tired boss. The inconsistencies with censorship are massively and increasingly apparent.

Had time to myself this week, and was hoping to use it to get some chores done, but almost as soon as my parents left, my body decided to malfunction and throw all of my issues at me. As a result I've been incredibly fatigued all week. Two bloody migraines this week and all. Two. Which would be...

It'd be so, so, so cool if the Graphene Motorola phone came with a physical keeb, like the Clicks Communicator or Unihertz Titan; would buy in a heartbeat. Not sure if that'd be the most practical form factor for most people though, tbf.

I installed the Clock You app as an alternative. It isn't blue, so I'm happy.

Posting from GOS phone rn, downloaded Bluesky's APK using Obtanium. I don't have autocorrect w/ the keeb I'm using (florisboard) so...bear with.

STATEMENT on Utah’s terrible VPN law: “Fight for the Future pre-emptively endorses any lawsuit filed to hold Utah politicians accountable for continuing to ignore, in the year 2026, the basics of how the Internet they're trying to regulate functions.” www.fightforthefuture.org/news/2026-05...

BBC Bitesize covered trich and skin picking as stims that cause self-harm, and they recommended: 1. To change what is causing the autistic or otherwise neurodivergent person stress in their environment, rather than trying to forcibly stop the behaviour. 2. To help them find an alternative stim.

Just installed GrapheneOS on a phone and I'm having so much fun with setting it up lol. This is how tech should be tbh; not the highly corporate nightmare it's turned into. Anyway, first problem I've run into... The clock app is this gross blue colour, any idea how to make it not blue?

Beat the elite four and the childhood rival character in Let's Go Eevee tonight, and the credits rolled. Can't remember if I got to this point last time I played. There are things that are familiar, and things that aren't. So...I'm not sure if it's my first time completing the main story or not.

Not only am I useless, but my personality is annoying to boot lol.

People found out that she had a copy of Girl Friends. For context, it's a wholesome romance between two high school girls, that puritans are wrongly but unsurprisingly calling "smut." There's no smut in the series, I wouldn't have read it as a teen if it did. Twilight is smuttier than this series.

I picked up that cheap Ohuhu ocarina in a pretty green, mostly for decoration, but I'm gonna have a lil toot toot of it now just for fun. Been having a rough few days, so decided to treat myself to some random stuff. Bought some new Tony's Chocolonely flavours to try too lol.

Not me crying my eyes out watching a video talking about Ouran High School Host Club. 😭

Passing this along - fucking scammers leveling up, here's a new one to pay attention to.

Hot take(?) but underboob might be hotter and more lewd than overboob.
