This is a genuine problem/ challenge. Turning off intrusive AI features, from Gmail, also turns off useful anti-spam and related features. (Sort of like Trump using the govt shutdown as excuse to end all SNAP benefits. Google didn't have to do this.)

😒 Two from my state...

TIL I'm related to a voice actor who received an Emmy nomination. 😰

For those who don't know, Mitch McConnell was so powerful for so many years, he never needed to answer questions in the halls and refused to do so. He only did sitdown interviews or his weekly press conference. Even now, he almost never talks in the halls. But he's been more wobbly since his fall.

Transness is beautiful. Transness is normal. And I will be in your face about that until every one of my siblings, of every race and gender is accepted and loved without any demand for assimilation.

Greystar, the nation’s largest landlord, has reached a settlement with nine states for $7 million. The states sued the property management giant for using rent-setting algorithms to drive up rents. Greystar and other landlords used RealPage software in this illegal scheme.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

It's being reported that New Zealand has banned puberty blockers for transgender youth. I removed New Zealand from my recommendations to families fleeing a while back after the far right saw a surge in power in the country. Sad day for NZ trans youth.

A friend of mine is a teacher and accidentally bought some AI art and got completely roasted for it by her students. The youth hate AI and it gives me some hope. The youth give me hope in general.

Between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday, join us in hitting pause on buying from corporations that enable Trump’s fascist agenda: weaintbuyingit.com?utm_source=i...

Aristopopulism is just a fancy word for oligarchy & kleptocracy—but it's the animating idea behind the Rockbridge Network, a “secretive organization” backed by Peter Thiel (and other billionaires) to fight wokeism. Which, in practice, appears mostly to mean selling access to Trump. trib.al/ZssfTjy

there’s just NO WAY there’s a dumber site than linkedin right now

I don't want to understand it anymore lol

Most rapists operate on the premise that they can not only overpower the victim physically, but can do so socially and legally. They count on a system that discounts the voices of victims and only too often cooperates in silencing them...

Depression's hitting super hard today. 😖

You get into your 40's you should just get to retire.

Regarding the Federal Subpoena Incident today, let me remind you once again that this website is 100% public, open source, and yes, both Bluesky, the federal government, and God knows who else do in fact “keep the logs.”

A sweet treat to make everyone feel like a millionaire A delicious treat to escape the Budget blues and get family and friends in millionaire (or billionaire) mode By Meryl White @yorkshirebylines.co.uk @grandmaabson.bsky.social

This trans awareness week give trans people money!!!!! Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

okay. so there are often a few dessert recipes that share things (type of dish; fruit) in common but this is really kicked up for fall. just about everything that isn’t pumpkin is apple or pear & one of the variety of “baked fruit w/ starch on top”, to the point where they offer a guide to the types

"theft tech" is a term my pal @astra.bsky.social thought of just today when we were working on our book about these End Times Fascists. We were thinking about what should happen when this this bubble busts, as we all know it will. Remember: they have bunkers. We don't. 2/3

Psychics and ChatGPT should really try convincing her to donate hundreds of millions to social housing next

bush v gore is the hinge upon which basically everything awful from the last quarter century swings on

have longstanding take that if i taught con law, i’d basically teach marbury v madison and bush v gore and hardly anything else. now i’d probably add Trump v Hawaii and maybe Loper-Bright? tougher to pick from the last ten years.

White House aggressively posting “trump is straight” content amid the blow job e-mail

I loved this piece from @juliametraux.bsky.social on Elon and Aspie Supremacy. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Trans youth’s access to health care, sports, & more are under attack. We're in court every day fighting back, & we don't do it alone. Your support helps push for young trans people to have the power to make decisions about their own lives. 🏳️‍⚧️   Show your solidarity today: lambdalegal.org/allrise/  

Holding space for the Black speedrunning community and ensuring we get adequate representation and access to opportunities is why I'm here! And I'm glad that it helped encourage others to do the same 🙂 Someone gotta be there for us.

Didn’t think much of the rumors until they started doing damage control

This is rich from MTG. God knows how many trans people have had to deal with hate and abuse because of her. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Watching disabled people around the world mourn Alice is a reminder of the good aspect of the internet. 30 years ago, few people outside of SF would ever have known Alice existed. I never would have met her. The internet connected us all. Let’s honor Alice’s memory by using that power and community.

Today was Palestinian Independence Day. As Trump and Netanyahu’s disastrous postwar plans become clear, the U.S. must recognize and respect Palestinian statehood — as 81% of the world already does. Agency and dignity are the only ways we can achieve lasting peace.

There is a myth that lesbians disproportionately hate trans people. In reality, the transphobes tend to be folks who exist in communities that punish gender nonconformity: straight culture.

Bill "Bubba" Clinton could do the funniest thing right now.

Freest when running the net or running through the woods.

Reclaim your ability to breathe for yourself again, not because it is useful or productive - but because it is for you.

I become the Greatest Ape when I'm given an essay that doesn't pull its punches with neoliberalism and whiteness.

I don’t want to formulate words yet, but my friend Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social of the Disability Visibility Project, has passed. Here are the words she left behind: www.instagram.com/p/DREMDNBjnq...

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

This is getting buried, but Rubio is trying to humor Trump's anti-antifa E.O. by designating European anarchist orgs as terrorist. It's horrible and almost certainly just for show but also it's very funny to imagine them trying to chart and plot the takedown of the anarchist leadership hierarchy

Post a gaming picture that gives you video game anxiety.

Believe it or not, recognizing Trump is the personification of three centuries of American racism doesn't normalize him or make it harder to oppose him. It means we're fighting the right problem, making it more likely we prevent another Trump.

Wishing a very merry Partially Muscled Skeleton Screaming For 30 Seconds Day, to all who celebrate

It's onesie weather. 😭

170,000 disabled people, many over 50 years old, are about to get kicked out of their homes, thanks to the Trump administration's latest attack on Housing First programs. Ripping necessary support away from vulnerable people will not make anyone safer.

it's 🏳️‍⚧️ transgender awareness week 🏳️‍⚧️, so : donate to trans support organizations if you can, hire trans people, defend them in public & private spaces when necessary, & just don't be an asshole in general
