EVERYONE STOP AND LOOK AT THIS

I agree that "CSAM" doesn't have the same impact as "child porn", but 1) you can spell out "child sexual abuse material", which makes clear what you mean and 2) if the experts in this space are asking you not to use that phrase and you insist on doing so, then give your bloody head a wobble.

it is really depressing how many people still use the phrase "child porn", or, even worse, "kiddie porn". Please don't. learning.nspcc.org.uk/news/why-lan...

Holy shit this piece is incredible, like the kind of thing that makes me jealous I didn’t write it and feel lucky that I get to read it defector.com/the-sufferin...

I made an album! You can pre-order the vinyl or cassette now: eraserheadmusic.bandcamp.com/album/violence

My autistic 22yo was out at a party last night until 2am, "Did you drink?" "No, nobody did. We all did PowerPoint presentations on our particular hyperfixations" I wish I'd had people like that at 22. I'm so glad I eventually found my people, (and stayed friends with @mikaltempo.bsky.social!)

In case nobody has told you yet today: 1. You are allowed to rest. 2. Your pain is real. 3. Wombats are the only animals that poop in perfect cubes and they stack them like little brown bricks to mark territory. 4. You are not a burden.

I'm German. I've been schooled in my country's history & crimes all my life. I'm also a political scientist, educated in Germany, the UK, & US. As the comparisons betw the situation in the US & Nazi Germany are increasing to frequent, allow me to comment. A 🧵

A wise and thoughtful thread. The suffering of the victims of ICE and the current regime in the US is all too real. We should all learn from history, but Trump seeks to copy the worst of it.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

Today is "Large boulder the size of a small boulder" day!

Morning! #MosaicMonday

There's a new series of The Comedy Bureau starting tomorrow. I'm really excited about it. Obviously, like most things I've ever made, it's got a hearty "meh" from the world, but I think it's good. Subscribe on your pod player if taking comedy too seriously interests you.

Big news for comedy nerds!

Shred things.

ICE denied Renee Nicole Good medical care as she died after they shot her. When a physician on site asked to help, they drew guns on him. A witness said it was about 15 minutes before an ambulance arrived. They wanted to make sure she died.

The government is behind on lots of things. Typography is one of them Ella Dorn: Why does Labour look so bad?

will also add - yes, this is my personal crusade - that turning podcasts into videos implicitly asks women to once again make more effort than men, as the bar for "camera-ready" for one gender is obviously higher than for the other

Sir Terry Pratchett is best understood as one of the most interesting, deeply ethical practical (I would say Pragmatist but I cede to actual experts) philosophers of the late 20th Century who just happened to work in deconstructed fantasy literature as his medium.

As many of us begin Christmas meal prep, allow me to share the advice that my ER nurse sister puts in the chat every year: A dropped knife has no handle. Jump away. Let it fall. You can pick it up and wash it.

As Christmas is coming upon us again, it’s time to reshare my tips for avoiding ableism towards your autistic family members during the festivities Read more on my blog in the link ⬇️ autisticallysarah.com/2024/12/20/a...

That intense, reflexive self-blame trauma survivors experience whenever anything in our vicinity goes wrong is not about having a "guilty conscience"-- it's a PTSD symptom. But framing it as a "guilty conscience" sign is a gaslighting tool abusers & bullies just love to pull out.

Why isn’t school attendance policy reflecting the research in the Lancet on long covid? @ashleydaltonmp.bsky.social Children’s long term health should be the priority here! Failure to rest, especially in girls, increases long Covid risks! Over 120k children in UK with long Covid now #CleantheAir

Delightful thread! Like the quoted post to fuel the goodness!

Timeline cleanse. One like = one thing I think is nice.

Sending love to everyone who needs it tonight. Love and Tom Holland.

The cure is likely to be worse than the disease.

one morning, when gregor samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a very hungry caterpillar

No matter how deeply true certain toxic ideas about ourselves seem, we need to remember: CPTSD CONDITIONS-- brainwashes-- us to feel & believe certain things. That deep sense of "truth" isn't about truth. It's about the intensity & duration of our conditioning. Of our abuse.

I hope someone has alerted @weratedogs.com because I feel like they need to know about this very important situation!!!!

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)

"This may be because it is the most junior members of the NHS Talking Therapies workforce, who conduct the assessment. The service invites us to consider that, though they are not qualified to treat, they are qualified to assess, even though they are not trained to diagnose!"
