My anti-censorship stance has basically nothing to do with how I feel about any particular kind of potentially-targeted content and everything to do with the fact that I do not trust corporations or governments as far as I can throw them with the authority to make that determination.

I sure wish academics were as concerned about eugenics as they are about chatgpt🥴

Just a reminder that no politician or bureaucrat has ever faced any charges for Robodebt

me: “why am i, an Autistic person, currently experiencing the worst mental health in living memory” [goes online] also me: “oh right”

trans people just want to be able to live their lives and cis people are like "due to this we need to do mandatory genital inspections to children playing sports". im sorry but the problem is cis people

You can't be a centrist under a fascist regime. You're either fighting, or facilitating. There's no secret third thing. Except dead, I suppose.

Controversial opinion, but I think trans people should feel safe here on bluesky, and nazis shouldn't.

Hello everyone. You may know Gretchen Felker-Martin has once again been suspended from bc they do that whenever some chud complains. Her brand-new ongoing DC series was also cancelled for the same reason. It’s stupid fascist bullshit as usual. Gretchen’s work rules. Consider supporting her here:

My favourite theme in all media is what it means to be human, with a particular interest in robots. The current AI bullshit is absolutely ruining my favourite thing.

Being trans is great, but it would nicer during a time when my mere existence is not a form of protest

trans person: i'd like some trans care please the entire medical field: explain why trans person: it would make me happier the entire medical field: here's how this could make you unhappy trans person: i'm already unhappy the entire goddamned medical field: we need you to be unhappy longer

Not gonna support any flavor of fighting for trans rights that doesn't include bodily autonomy including access to transition medication and surgery. Sorry, but that's a red line for me, and if you don't see the importance of those items, we're not *actually* on the same side of this thing.

being trans is not a negative outcome and neither is being autistic

This is my most confrontational post of the day: please watch Armond’s video & think on it. It isn’t at all progressive or leftist to spread disabling disease in an ongoing pandemic. There are more Armonds than you know, & folks who don’t mask are making more each day bc most spread is asymptomatic

the average cis person's opinion on trans people seems to be "they shouldnt be allowed to transition until a decade after puberty, also i prefer them when they pass. no i dont know how any of this works and i wont listen if you try to explain"

This month my support coordinator is quitting, my psychologist is quitting, and my GP is quitting. Truly what the fuck is happening.

And then you see it. As it strangles and beats your friends to death... the sweetest most courageous people in the world. You see the fear and power in its eyes. Then you *know*. That the bourgeois are not human.

If the AI bubble really is bursting, please take this lesson from it: Nothing marketed to you this relentlessly is ever worth it. If it was, they wouldn’t need to beg you.

JEAN VICQUEMARE - He can't be a cop, Harry. He's twelve. And he says 'f****t' every four seconds.

why are you defending AI, AI is not going to fuck you

Weird how the government so often uses its power to force striking employees back to work and so rarely uses it to force companies to pay those employees what they’re worth.

Disabled people shouldn't have to spend the limited energy they do have, fighting for basic rights and going through endless assessments & reviews just to try and survive. It's nothing but cruelty.

As I’ve pointed out repeatedly over the years, mutual obligation agreements in exchange for welfare is coercive conditionality and lacks informed consent

penis pussy boobs balls butthole . in jesus name we pray amen

>feel good games >look inside >emotional torment and anguish

“All men including trans men” and “All Men, but not trans men they’re ok” Are *both* shit, by the way. They’re an intellectual void and both are founded in “trans men aren’t real people”

Hey putting it out there, Disco Elysium is like the most important game ever to me, but dont play the mobile version that's releasing in a few days. The actual devs and writers of the original game were fucked over by the publisher, and this mobile version is a shameful exploitation of their passion

I hate all social media and I miss my friends

"A lot of ways" for platforms to age verify, says the government, who is still yet to name even one such way. Because, as the UK is discovering, there is not any currently existing technology fit for this purpose. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

For the second time now my dad has managed to hear a male voice in the house, express confusion about it to me, then realise he is speaking to me, the man with the male voice in the house. It’s simultaneously gender affirming and deeply hurtful.

Silly of me to have forgotten that Australia is a nanny state

My GP has been telling me my testosterone levels were normal. I actually looked at my latest tests and learnt they are well under the lowest normal male range. I'm really angry. I'm going to be starting with a new doctor anyway but yeah. Absolutely bullshit.

Motherfucker. Of course she is.

When disabled people talk about covid mitigations, they're told eating inside at restaurants is a basic human need, but when disabled people talk about relying on food/grocery delivery, they're told they should subsist entirely on microwave meals that they somehow magic out of thin air.

German cops arresting someone for displaying a pink triangle because it can be "mistaken" for a red triangle in support of Palestine is such an encapsulation of the liberal order everyone is desperate to maintain.

It shouldn't be a radical thing to say that as a disabled person who is unable to work: I like being alive, I am glad I'm alive, my life has its challenges but it is thoroughly worth living. But since it is, here I am saying it. And no one gets to tell me different.

The Gaza Soup Kitchen run by Hani Almadhoun and family is currently feeding 3000 people a day under the monstrous conditions of the engineered famine happening before our eyes. You can help feed at least a few people. Please donate: gofund.me/e37b4bae

Holy shit we’re legitimately at “some cancer screenings are too woke.”

Porn and art with sexual themes deserve to exist on their own merit, not because censoring them has knock-on effects for non-sexual content. Please stop expressing outrage by implying that censorship would be okay if it *just* affected sex workers and artists engaging with sexual themes.

We deserve a world where health isn’t rationed, care isn’t contingent, survival isn’t means-tested & life is not valued statistically. We deserve infrastructures built around life, not abandonment. And, we won’t get there by politely debating actuarial projections with capitalist parasites…

Unplanned power outage in Canberra winter. Joy.
