as a neurodivergent & also weird kid school was hell for me, though these days I struggle to remember the names of all the teachers who bullied me. But the three that treated me like a person have never left me. Now more than ever, I hope you all try your best to stay unsquishable!

Thing with all the soft language of dignity and respect and compromise being used to describe loss of human rights, persecution, and segregation, is that it immediately frames any opposition to it as unreasonable and aggressive

A nice shift in perceived colour between central and peripheral vision. The fixated disc looks purple while the others look blue. The effect presumably comes from the absence of S-cones in the fovea. From Hinnerk Schulz-Hildebrandt:

The debate around what is or isn’t “cancel culture” really just obscures a simple truth that it’s BAD to be massively racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic and it’s GOOD to speak out against injustice. Some things are good and some things are bad and it’s okay to say which you think are which.

While our government must have diplomacy with Trump, we should never roll out the red carpet for him. Trump is a far-right leader who propagates hate, undermines democracy and makes the world a more dangerous place for us all. This unnecessary state visit is just normalising his politics.

The amount of shit I got for this segment at the time was astronomical, and it was all from people who now stalk CVS employees to get them fired for insufficient online sadness. Cheering on political violence is both evil and not new, an outgrowth of an internet intentionally dismantled years ago.

News outlets like
@wsj.com
have a critical responsibility to report the truth. Promoting false information that ties our LGBTQ+ community to the Utah shooting is reckless, irresponsible, and puts trans people especially in danger. Anyone with a platform must do better. Lives are on the line.

It’s neither necessary nor appropriate to pretend Charlie Kirk was something other than what he was, or that he didn’t say or do the things he said and did, in order to condemn his being murdered in cold blood. Nor is acknowledging what he was and what he did tantamount to saying he deserved it.

Charlie Kirk spent his life making people like me unsafe. His followers sent me death threats for years and threatened my employer if they didn’t terminate me. His work was NEVER about free speech. It was about hate and emboldening violent people. The dishonesty of the past 24hrs is disgusting.

Whenever I hear someone calling for "an end to left/right divisive politics", it turns out to be a right winger who thinks people on the left should abandoned their entire belief system & join with the right in persecuting minorities (whose mere existence is framed as "divisive.")

"age verification rules" are a backdoor to censoring all LGBTQ content of any kind from the internet and the process is well underway under many governments. The tactic is part of Project 2025. But nobody fucking believed it could happen and now here we are.

I'm celebrating the life and work of Louis R. Purnell. Started out as a Tuskegee Airman. Taught himself geology and paleontology, found a passion for nautiloids and cephalopods. He wrote a catalog of invertebrates while working with the NMNH that is still the go-to.

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

If the amendment is being rejected because it’s a bolt-on to the Data Bill, and there’s a more solid consultation in the pipes, that would be a good thing to *communicate* to the creatives who are angry and scared that a successful British industry is being sacrificed for a speculative one.
