While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

Wish I could fake enjoying the Met Gala this year, but my appetite for displays of conspicuous consumption in this end-stage capitalism timeline just simply isn't there. I love fashion though, so I'll be enjoying all the creations for weeks to come in all my niche communities.

The United States can’t lead the world in defending press freedom on World Press Freedom Day when it’s actively dismantling it at home.

several years ago there was a campaign of North Korean threat actors targeting high-profile security researchers. they opened with a cold DM just saying “hello” several people fell for this. you will be shocked to learn that not a single woman was among them

Going through my old playlists. They still slap 😎

Me having to purposely leave out punctuation and sprinkle in a few typos so I don't get accused of being an AI 🤖🤦‍♀️

This place is distinctly lacking in hotness. Why is that?

Pablo Escobar's Cocaine Hippos

Almost forgot today's my 3-year Cake Day! 🥳

Everything sounds condescending when you’re stupid

Alright. That’s enough nonsense for one day ✌️

Cosplaying Rhythm Nation because the new boyfriend, or… ?

The way people throw the word ‘algorithm’ around whilst having no understanding whatsoever of what one is, or what it does, should be studied, tbh. Years of hearing that “evil” algorithms are to blame for every social ill, has created a special kind of brain rot.

Was/is this a rampant problem?! Do the stock market next…

"fr" actually stands for "for raccoons." not many people know this

Would AI be viewed negatively if we had UBI to offset reductions in workforce? What about if it operated entirely on energy renewables, and even offset non-commercial energy costs by using excess heat to power homes for free? What about if AI were used to systematically remunerate creator sources?

Keeping up with the tea requires being very online, which is apparently now considered NPC behavior… or haven’t you heard. 💁‍♀️

FYI - You can’t “save the internet” when you fundamentally don’t understand consent or agency as foundational concepts. Full stop.

Welp. Guess we’ll see if new Apple CEO is of the 🍇 academy tech bro variety or not. On the upside, investing in device repair insurance companies could be lucrative, on account of the expected accidentally (on purpose) smashing or running over of privacy-violating devices.

Why has this app become the opposite of fun? 🤦‍♀️

LEGO video? 🤷‍♀️ Much more relevant is how other nations perceive this and whether they believe it at all (they’re not buying claims as it is, so…) Tehran knowing everyone else sees what’s really going on is far more impactful on how they may choose to respond.

Erika Kirk has a new man… wait till Charlie finds out who’s in the cockpit now 😏🤭

Building the future of digital presence

When you heard there were "shots fired" but you immediately thought somebody called somebody out on some bullshit 🥲

"Hey girl, Sorry I bailed on your party. Someone was totally trying to shoot me! Also, I didn't wanna be there, so... Anyway, don't hate me. Bye biatch! Luv U 🙄😘"

It's almost as though they knew... /s 🤔 "U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's company, Cantor Fitzgerald, led by his sons, bought rights to future tariff refunds for 20–30 cents on the dollar before the Supreme Court struck down "Liberation Day" tariffs, potentially yielding massive profits."

Why do men have such a boner for the approval of other men? Gonna have to start handing y'all kneepads or something 🥲

Throwback to when I was 11 years old and designed my first circuit on vellum, cured it onto my board in a UV machine, and dunked it in Ferric Chloride. Which I had space for a lab...

Good morning to bears, and bears only 🐻

Lorena Bobbitt did nothing wrong

You know who doesn't have a 'rape academy'? Bears, that's who

#hotgirlshit 😎💕

Milla Jovovich making an open-source memory tool for AI, structured in the same way I organize my thoughts, memories, ideas, projects, and media (but machine-readable), is the best things I’ve come across this year so far. 🤩💕 #mempalace github.com/milla-jovovi...

WA, CA, NY, and CO legislators are trying to ban 3D printers. Contact them now to stop these bills. www.dont-ban-3dprinters.com #StopThe3DPrintingBan #3DPrinting

Good morning to cats, and cats only 🐈🐈‍⬛

i am please to report i remain of this realm as my affairs are not yet in order. thank you for your continued lack of attention to this matter

OH OKAY THEN

WITCHERY AFOOT

Wake me up when we can teach our clones to interact in the world as us, minus the awkwardness… or don’t. Wake. Me 🙃

Aesop: I TOLD YOU

The way Astrology has an annual “Day of Challenges” as though every day wasn’t already one 🤡 It’s March 25 this year, btw…

I love how my watch starts off my day by telling me I had another crappy sleep score 🥲

LMAO “now”… so like, again? Or same as for decades of being deservedly suspect?

Publishers say they’re blocking the Internet Archive because of AI scraping. But shutting out a nonprofit library won’t stop AI—it will damage the public’s best record of the web.

I've had a visceral hatred of headless robodogs ever since Boston Dynamics introduced them as part of a DARPA project. The dystopian timeline keeps accelerating...

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

Routine check-in to see if connections are still not mutually consensual on here. 🥲

Is there a way to search only posts with Media?

Michael B Jordan just won best actor at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. The award was presented to him by Viola Davis. A wonderful end to a difficult week for him.
