Winter in a tent is full of cold, pain, and sleepless nights. The wind and rain seep through every corner, leaving us struggling to stay warm. Any support can help us survive this harsh season. 🙏❄️ Support link: chuffed.org/project/aymannm #Gaza #HelpGaza #StandWithGaza

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

I've never gotten over this. Ever. We marked the first year after his murder with a "play-in" event in Chicago. I had the idea for this and I have never forgotten him. You can see some of the photos from the event here: www.facebook.com/media/set/?v...

a lot of people think making a fat woman character means having big perky round z cups with huge hips and it will never not be disappointing

tbh, when I was 18-19 it was genuinely so bizarre watching people infantilize me to treating me like I'm 25 years old and that every action and mistake I do means they're gonna be much harder on me without failing to realize I was literally still in highschool.

they’re nuking the economy for their internet rape machine

If you want to honor all the trans people we’ve lost, do whatever you can to keep more of us from dying in this currently ongoing administrative genocide. Frankly, cis folks, I don’t give a shit how sad you are about our past, I care about what you’ll actually DO to secure our future.

This is something @hypervisible.blacksky.app has said several times: these nefarious an abusive uses of generative AI are not aberrations. They are the purpose of these systems — any other use cases are tangential.

i need some of yall to take a deep breath and remind yourself that people saying "no, this is useless and here's why people can't/shouldn't opt in" are not "3-cue readers" & you not feeling annoyed at another useless-at-best security-risk-at-worst feature is not because you're smarter than everyone

the less PII you can give to any given social media website, the better. there's no reason to voluntarily give more PII to the guys who very very demonstrably cannot be trusted with managing this website safely. no one asked for this feature.

"but they said it's double opt-in!" and i am telling you it is a security risk to opt in, so you shouldn't do that. this website demonstrably gives info to the feds. instead of developing a new useless security risk no one asked for, give us safety features

the ability to private/lock your account is a basic safety feature that would have occurred to this website's libertarian genAI ghoul developers if they ever gave one wet fart about trust and safety, but hey instead let's introduce another possible vector of privacy danger

"find your friends by phone number! find your friends by email! find your friends by IP address! find your friends by geolocation!" no.

i promise you if i wanted irl friends to find me on here i would be like "hey follow me on bluesky, here's my @"

just give us private accounts already jesus

anything that makes someone findable in any way by contact information that can be obtained outside this platform is a doxxing risk and a danger to DV survivors and anyone who has ever been stalked. no one uses phone numbers for contacts anymore anyway.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has been disliked by the left for years and years and had never had to fear for her life. She's been disliked by the right for 1 day and now has to hire security.

ANUBIS: (presses button with paw) [guilty] OSIRIS: im sorry he does this when he's hungry ANUBIS: (button) [guilty] [bad] [food] OSIRIS: you already ate ANUBIS: (button) [bad] [bad] [bad] OSIRIS: he's right though we weighed your heart against the feather and its not looking good

I just read the whitest thing I've read this week and I am so so grateful for the Black radical tradition. Thank God.

thinking about the time I got perma banned on tinder because some terf asked me rudely about my genitals and lectured me about how lesbians dont like dick and I replied ‘Ill have you know the lesbians I know happen to like my dick just fine’, which was apparently worthy of a permanent ban

for all the millennials trying to figure out what the news means hopefully this helps!

Black trans women are paid dust by cis people and trans people. 21 is too young for a trans girl to die. It's not fucking fair. But per the course, Girlalala will be lost in a sea of stories of trans women of color who aren't as loved or as protected as we should be. May she rest in peace.

Be careful who you boost. This shit should've been solved a long time ago, but we got bad actors who will use this to justify spying on us and hurt our 1st Amend. These types of folks supports KOSA, not the actual victims. Policing speech and privacy will not protect kids. #SaveSpeech

part of the zoomer/millennial intergenerational mating ritual is the millennial making a joke they know isn't funny to see if the zoomer will play along and just how badly they'll humiliate themselves for a crumb of pussy

Jay reskeeted this. Cool. Link is still permanently banned because she lied about him being a violent Black man, by the way.

lol

somehow this doodle i did at like 2am popped off on the other site

a trans girl in vermont was kicked off her swimming team and committed suicide and at the very same time, the discourse in d.c. today is about whether the democratic party should’ve abandoned her sooner in order to win votes a day in an american life

Dell Buds have Treble Boost (tm) technology to emphasise the thin, nasal voices of your coworkers during meaningless Zoom meetings. If you try to play music on them they release a potent neurotoxin.

davejadekat but its t4t4t

Honestly, it’s exhausting that people think Gazans should only ask for help to survive to eat, to stay alive but not to dream, to study, or to rebuild their lives. Wanting education, safety, and a future isn’t greed. It’s being human.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Azza. Before this Azza worked in a kindergarten and her husband owned a small coffee shop. They lost their home in the first two weeks of the war. They are trying to survive with their children Nisreen, 16, Layan, 14 and Ibrahim, 11.

Indiana Jones vs the mining company that just blew up the site

SHIVERS - There should be something here -- a memory, a feeling, even if it's just a glimpse -- but the depths of your psyche remain silent. You don't have a single memory of your mother.

#SaveSpeech KOSA has amassed more cosponsors recently, jumping from 42 to 60 total You need to call your reps and DEMAND that they oppose this legislation ASAP The link below contains more info about KOSA and an easy way to contact your reps 5calls.org/issue/kids-o... Please call DAILY

Online age verification is not like "showing ID to buy alcohol" because a) the liquor store doesn't get to scan your ID and store a digital copy of it forever in a database that will inevitably get hacked b) you don't have to show ID to go to the library because they have cocktail recipe books

Saw some post somewhere earlier about people “not getting” transness or whatever You don’t have to get it. If you believe in bodily autonomy for all, then no one needs you to understand their personal situation to earn being seen as a person by you. You just treat every human being as a person.

📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU. Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

use your PTO frequently & unapologetically. I never used PTO throughout my 20s-- I wanted to be the perfect worker & stayed late all the time. now in my 30s, doing mostly contract work, I don't get PTO and I severely need it. I hit that burnout wall at 90mph and I would kill to get that PTO back.

actually our AI programs are like people so its racist to say you don't like them. anyway would you like to buy one

it's pretty wild to be doing "stop being racist to my computer friend" discourse when the forces of Actual Racism are totally ascendant in government and inventing new ways to arrest people for their skin color every day
