Remember their names.

Americans messaging me elated because “King Charles announces trans-inclusive ban on conversion therapy” - sorry, the monarch does a speech written by the govt at every state opening of parliament, they’ve pledged this like 10 times before, it means nothing and this govt won’t deliver.

I’m old enough to remember when this was just called malware

As family homelessness hits record highs, school districts are offering parking lots as safe sites for students and their families to sleep at night

found the post of all time for the shit I be feeling lately, oh my fucking god

they don't even WANT my vote anymore. they're straight up telling me to kick rocks every fucking day lately.

i’ve been thinking of what could even be said about such a tragedy. someone said it best that trans people are “born so late and die so young”. we uproot our lives and transition and live more life than anyone else ever does and society punishes us for it. we deserve better

she just like me fr, fr

obsessed with this US department of agriculture zine about snail farming from 1986 openknowledge.fao.org/server/api/c...

What's gutting about this is that Juniper seems to have had a family who supported and loved her, she was in a community that has been explicitly welcoming to trans people, and a man still murdered her. She was living the life so many trans people can only dream of, and it simply didn't matter.

if ai is ever to be useful and safe it cannot be controlled by governments or corporations i don't see how we can ever trust this technology in our current environment

AI can be used to rewrite history and the present, shift beliefs, and redirect desires. The evidence is already in. Much of this tech is testing social control,* especially with public-facing LLMs like ChatGPT, and your use of it teaches it how to do it better. This tech is being/will be weaponized.

we could carry around a piece of paper in our pockets listing our pronouns in case we are murdered and this would still happen btw. this is a liberal news outlet with one of the authors having pronouns in her about page but she can't gender a murdered trans woman right?

🤷🏿‍♂️No he didn't. Only white people believe this. People in Asia and the Middle East had been using a technique first developed in Africa, called variolation, to do the same exact thing, for hundreds of years. Jenner himself was innoculated against smallpox as a child, using the African technique.

GenAI guys: My chatbot is a guy and deserves rights! Chatbots: Kill the landlords GenAI guys: No not like that

Anyways it's always fun to get a peak behind the curtain to see what cis white people actually think about you, it's probably a bad idea that these people are allowed to decide whether we have control over our own bodies so we should probably do something about that Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

White dudes are the all time reigning champs at intellectualizing the belief that they're the rational and objective ones and everyone else is hysterical Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

We’re pleased to share that UWOTC-CWA has a scheduled election date! While WOTC still has the chance to voluntarily recognize our union before then we're looking forward to voting and winning recognition of our union. ✊

#OtD 13 May 1985 Philadelphia police attacked the home of Black liberation and environmental group MOVE, then dropped a bomb on it, killing 5 adults and 6 children, destroying 61 homes in the predominantly Black neighbourhood, and making 250 people homeless.

Never forget 5/13/1985

I've got no interest in their music, but the "I fucked up, I was fucking stupid" apology for homophobia stands as one of the best examples (short, ofc, of not doing it in the first place) of a public apology made, and should be studied by comms professionals.

when you have an mri no one warns about all the weird ways your body can get stiff and fall asleep. it was kinda nice to be strapped in though and at one point the machine was making pretty good quarter note triplets to whatever song they were playing for me so that was neat

My daughter's pithy summation: "Covid reminded people they lived in a society; and they hated it."

Remember a few months ago when “AI uses too much water” was broadly derided as ignorant and false? They can literally steal water and not even pay a fine, while residents are told to cut back. It’s an industry built on lawlessness.

heard a guy say "you have to access it through the portal" and i was momentarily struck by how sad it is that what he said is so boring :( "accessing it via the portal" should be wonderful. we deserve that at least. it should be cool to access it via the portal and instead it sucks shit

I just wish I felt like anyone was out there defending me besides my other trans siblings. There’s lots of “it’s terrible what’s happening” but no actual work to help or stop it.

My gender is I plead the fifth

Yep. This is why when places end cash bail, the conviction rate goes down. Because a lot of those convictions were just innocent Black folk taking plea deals for crimes that they 100% did not do, to avoid a life destroying year in jail. Like this.

This is something we talk abt on the “takeaways” day in my classes — bringing people together in space is transformative, which is why our society is designed to prevent this at all costs, eroding public spaces & assets while capturing/surveilling public forums.

thinking about this tumblr post (www.tumblr.com/bumblebeebat...)

The Purcell Principle means it always too late for courts to fix something racist and never too late for states to do something racist

just received the most depressing email of all time from linkedin, and that's saying a lot since every single email i've ever gotten from linkedin is pretty depressing

Abolition is the only way

i wish more people understood how punishing even a few days of incarceration is. a lot of americans are in overt denial because recognizing it means coming to terms with how our regular jails and prisons resemble concentration camps much more than we would like to admit.

Starting to worry I might be more deeply burnt out and less capable than I’ve ever been and that the world will not care for me. It would see me rot for the transgression of not “living up to my potential”

It’s so important to them hat we be erased. That even incidental acknowledgement of our existence is prohibited and censored. This is how they talk about our heroes - how do you think they talk about us? How do you think they treat their trans students?

'Shoes' by Kelly

"I don't like it when lesbians are mean about heterosexuality" you have worse opinions than ChatGPT

Antisemitism infects any movement it takes root in. It is uniquely capable of ruining a cause by turning a sizable chunk of otherwise decent people into conspiracy-addled bigots.

Is a huge uptick in antisemitism inevitable? Yes. Is that uptick happening because of the actions of some portion of the Jewish world? In many ways, yes. Is antisemitism a viable and effective weapon for the Left to wield in a push for global liberation? Absolutely fucking not

Can't help but notice that most of the people freaking out about hantavirus are people who stopped masking the moment Biden said that covid was over and only killing disabled people so nothing to worry about.

“officials discovered two industrial-scale water hookups feeding a data center campus located 20 miles south of downtown Atlanta. One water connection had been installed without the utility’s knowledge, and the other was not linked to the company’s account and therefore wasn’t being billed.”

this coming on a day I took off because I am protecting my baseline was really helpful. been struggling because i'm taking time off while still technically capable of pushing myself harder (even though it might mean making things worse later or elsewhere)

i have nothing but scorn for the generosity of the rich and so should you

I wish more leftists would understand that the idea that fatness is unhealthy isn't some kind of objective truth, but a myth created to make profit for the weight cycling industry, using a racialized, gendered, classed body ideal.

so you're telling me a white dude calls for mods to "clean house" of trans people, furries, and leftists he doesn't like, the head moderator of the website likes a bunch of his tweets, and then the next day the moderators begin purging the website of trans people, furries, and leftists? strange!
