This post got me to lay tefillin for the first time since I was like thirteen, and the first time since I started transitioning. Thank you for the opportunity to make a shehecheyanu.

I just read Teshuva by Anastasia bat Lilith, and holy fuck, this article lit a fire in my blood. It is EXACTLY my shit. theanarchistlibrary.org/library/anas...

Kinda wild how easy it actually is to go "I am responsible for my own words and actions, and am willing to be held accountable for them", yet how cowardly so many people in power are that they refuse to do even that. Learn some fucking teshuva, Marjorie.

RE: the fallacy of White Guilt™️

everyone wished really hard and manifested a friend for sinkdog

i am apparently now the lady st. john of stafford. my job is to get kidnapped by and later marry a buff russian dude.

So, I've got a Christian Borle playlist on my phone (searching by artist is HARD for musical theater) and it will always make me laugh when it transitions from Vox from Hazbin Hotel swearing and being evil right to Emmett Forrest from Legally Blonde the Musical being soft and sweet.

Frankly at this point I think talking about "safety tools" on LLM chatbots is mealy-mouthed garbage. The moderate position is that the people who built these systems should never be allowed to touch a keyboard again.

Anarchist talking with Soviet style communist in The Dispossessed about wanting to bring anarchy to the a capitalist society.

"I understand you're upset, but you literally have to use genAI! There's no way to not!" says woman who is paid to promote the usage of genAI, to people who don't use it.

Remember: When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them. When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips. ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

I remember, when I was a kid, reading a book called The Homework Machine, by Dan Gutman. It was about this group of kids, one of whom had invented a machine that could do his homework for him - and upon request, configured it for his friends, too. The Homework Machine gave (1/3)

...huh. ok.

Gut nittel nacht yiddin! Stay inside! Lock your doors! Don't let that scary undead guy in!

Just in time for Jewish Christmas, we have a new TTRPG 🎲: The Vatican Stole the Menorah and We're Going to Steal it Back! TVSTMAWGTSIB is a dreidel-powered heist TTRPG about reclaiming the Temple menorah from the Vatican. Itchfunding a print run till Jan 1! 📆 🔗: jumpgategames.itch.io/tvstmawgtsib

if there is one thing i hope i have demonstrated with my contributions to the timeline this year, it's that one can forcefully oppose israeli atrocities against palestinians and forcefully oppose antisemitism without compromise on either.

Ambassador Susan Rice, the only person in U.S. history to serve in the White House as both National Security Advisor and Domestic Policy Advisor, unpacks the Trump administration's weaponization of #antisemitism.

ISIS has openly stated it targets Jews as Jews, regardless of politics or beliefs. The attackers didn't check anyone's views before opening fire on families celebrating Hanukkah. We call on progressive organizations to denounce this antisemitism when you see it. Silence is not an option.

why did you transition, wrong answers only to get more viewers on twitch

Bari Weiss, outspoken opponent of antisemitism, spiked a story about concentration camps. How could she possibly do so? Because her construct is built around self-interested tribalism. Where the goal isn’t to end concentration camps: it’s to ensure you aren’t in one. And if necessary, to run them.

QTP with a robot that's not Star Wars or Transformers Hard Mode: No Gundam series, Battletech or Macross allowed

My no-fun-at-parties take is that "christmas is a secular holiday" is an uncomfortable way of assuring me that christianity is the status quo and everything outside of that is an aberration. Sorry! It's still a christian holiday!! Just because you're an atheist doesn't make it secular!

Again if you're tearing apart Larian, then you can't let this slide ether

i feel like one thing that we should be making abundantly clear from now on is that the majority of anti-trans consent manufacturers are goddamn pedophiles. are you going to believe what a bunch of pedophiles say about us? what does that say about you?

a freilichen chanukah (1/2)

Good.

Happy Solstice everyone!!

once more, isis doesn’t act according to the whims of anti-genocide protestors, and responding to this attack by treating expressions of solidarity with palestinians as anti-jewish hate crimes effectively criminalizes palestinian existence

new scam going around where they hire you for a job but pay you less than the value your labor produced

in order to combat the unfair characterization of young republicans as virulent antisemites we asked several what they _really_ think about hitler and...actually yes they're just nazis

And to the trans community, know this: You are created in the Divine image. Our community is better with you in it. Our community is beautiful because you are in it. We will continue to be in solidarity with you.

this is about forcing people with breasts to show them in the way approved of by fascists. it is in itself an act of sexual violence and coersion

You *can* change your sex. I *did* change mine. If this makes you uncomfortable, stop being part of the problem.

apparently, the adl is too busy launching their etf — which aims to use investments to exert influence over companies — to be bothered to say anything about one of the most popular streamers among teen boys encouraging an nfl player to behave antisemitically

republicans believe children should be forced to carry pregnancies to term and should be allowed to be pushed into coercive marriages by their parents because they see children as fundamentally sexually exploitable and i am tired of pretending their transphobia has some other angle

that's feminism and trans people occupy the tip of the spear. if we are possible then everything becomes possible. if we are free then you are free. the alternative is control, patriarchy, fascism. a world that is dictated to us on someone else's terms. if we are not free then neither are you. help

just logged onto smw central for the first time since i was literally a kid fucking wild to see "last post" be in *2012* lmao

NyxQuest decided to be a jerk at me, so I'm finally getting around to Silksong.

gaston eats so many eggs to hide the fact that she herself is an egg in denial

At this moment in history, when everything hangs in the balance, we must choose the side of life, freedom, and solidarity. The only true safety is shared safety.

Total agreement. Porn is media. Like all media, it can be interrogated and critiqued, both for its themes and for the ethics of its production. And like all media, enjoying it is not a bad thing.

An important addendum to "look for the helpers" is "and then join them."
