Chrome's adblock dying has really just shown how bad ads have gotten now huh This appeared and fullscreened my window, hid my cursor, for clicking on a youtube download link lol old people are just not built to handle this

so many of the small indignities of daily life come from us being denied the ability to tell a rich man in a tech company to fuck off. minesweeper has microtransactions. paid services have ads. the opt out says maybe later. the drive thru is a broken chatbot. your car is an ipad. fuck off! fuck off!

a *lot* of anti trans shit coming from the house toward the FY26 bill & i can’t tell you how much it matters for a lot of people to tell dem senators—amidst the week’s jenga tower of moral panics—not to compromise & that trans people are worth fighting for. info & script in the QT ⬇️⬇️ please call!

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

oh we're supposed to go back to normal and pretend that major players in our government and media didn't spend multiple days telling us democrats deserve to be hunted like dogs in the street because their favorite podcaster got ganked? not me, thanks! some people don't forget!

"but we can't support trans rights, it's unpopular!" just a reminder that US approval for marriage between black and white people at the start of the civil rights movement was 4%, reaching a whopping 20% by the end of the movement it's 95% now you don't wait for popularity for a rights movement

Oh, hey. Visa and Mastercard now say you can't pay for WoW. Magic the Gathering. FFXIV. DnD. Lord of the Rings. Because they're all "adult" content against their ToS just for being "fantasy". Let that sink in. Spread this like wildfire and have people in those circles call them. No quarter.

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

"What rights have trans people lost?"

Hey Firefox users.

I cannot overstate just how awful this stupid fucking bill proposal is - adding backdoors into encryption on OS level - "sniff" every single message before it gets encrypted AND SAVE IT CENTRALLY - let a goddamn hallucinating "AI" mark people as criminals it needs to be stopped, post haste

Fuck censorship. They're coming after you next, whether you make porn or not. I have never sold NSFW services or artwork, yet here's my termination from Stripe! Fully SFW, innocent headshots of furries = adult content. This is what we've been trying to fucking tell y'all this whole month!

The NHS are forcibly detransitioning trans kids in Brighton and calling it “managed withdrawal.” Their own impact assessment acknowledges trans kids will be at increased risk of harm as a result, don’t want this, and are likely to just use DIY hormones instead

Duolingo's CEO has been vocal about replacing human staff with trash AI that's more likely to get translations wrong and make your learning subpar. Stop using Duolingo. Uninstall it. Leave comments and reviews that you'll come back once they put people first again.

The script to oppose KOSA (the Kids Online Safety Act) AKA The Big Bullshit Censorship Bill is now up on @5calls.org We’ve already seen the results of this over the last few days in the U.K. with their Online Safety Act (OSA). Let’s make sure it dies off again. Call your reps ☎️

This statement is false. Mastercard has enacted several required restrictions of activity on platforms that support it, including the attached screenshots, which all come from the Security Rules & Procedures within their Specialty Merchant Registration Program. www.mastercard.us/content/dam/...

This is the most non answer they could have fucking come up with lol what the fuck constitutes as "illegal adults content" Keep calling them, keep sending them emails and letters, and keep gumming up their works

Some people just seem to want to eliminate all potential sources of discomfort, no matter how small or innocuous, from their lives. Fiction allows you to model experiencing big emotions in a safe controlled setting, and I just don't think any good comes of avoiding that to this degree

I don't meant to misery post but this is what I mean by Memory holing. It's not even the first time the UK and its media (not even just the state media, though that is the most egregious) has actively ignored a mass protest in the capital because it doesn't like the protestors.

My last living musical hero is still my hero but unfortunately no longer living. RIP to the great, great Mr. Tom Lehrer.

LMAO I called Visa’s customer support service - the guy on the other line was like “are you ALSO calling about the video game payment processing? Please send us emails instead.” Keep up the calls, folks, we’re definitely gumming up their works

Here’s a short script: “Hello, my name is _____, and I would like to file a complaint. I find it troubling that Mastercard is blocking content on (the platforms you use) and making it difficult for me to make legal purchases. I am going to stop using Mastercard if this isn’t rescinded and fixed."

I've already emailed @itch.io support to tell them how I feel about all this. You all should, too. And while you're at it, sign the ACLU's petition to get Mastercard to change its terrible sex work policies. action.aclu.org/petition/mas...

i havent posted these here yet?

Some places will have to start rationing water - to enable AI slop. "A data center like Meta’s, which was completed last year, typically guzzles around 500,000 gallons of water a day. New data centers [will] require millions of gallons of water a day" Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/07/14/t...

if i can be y’all’s dad for a second: one of the most important things I’ve learned is that acquiring a skill is literally uncomfortable that awful moment where you feel confused and stupid and embarrassed? it means you’re about to learn something. and it’s *mandatory* if you want to get better

The act of reading is pleasurable. The act of creating art is pleasurable. Finishing the book and finishing the artwork are secondary. It's like thinking the pleasure in eating a nice meal is the clean plate at the end. Their ignorance is bone-deep.

2. A report on the largest survey ever of trans Americans’ health was released on Wednesday, June 11, and its findings reaffirmed what many academics, health care providers and trans people already know: gender-affirming care saves and improves lives. ustranssurvey.org

Yeah, it’s this one again.

the hong kong protestors used the phrase "do not split" to mean that the radical protest and peaceful protest arms of the movement should refuse to criticize each other.

It took national outcry, but it worked.

Hello! I am a public librarian. PLEASE do this. Library administrative offices are the exact damn same as any other corporate office: they live and die by written customer feedback. Tell them with your words that Pride matters to you. Please. *Please.*
