I'm a writer, crafter, and spoonie, living life the best I can. 40something Xennial. The best thing to do is show the kindness you can. Queer as in fuck you, polyamorous (but saturated!), goblin at heart. Leftist as hell. Trans lives matter. BLM.

"OK but what is your PLAN?" Bish I am sitting at the back of this plane. I'm just willing to point out that the driver is gargling everclear and flying directly at the ground while reading a book titled HOW TO FLY AIRPLANES INTO THE GROUND.

I think whats gonna be the only diff between then and now is that *then* the dot com bubble bursting took out folks connected to it but this time the AI bubble bursting is gonna take out darn near everything all b/c ppl are putting their fingers in their ears and going lalalala all for a quick hit.
I saw the dot coms crash from a front row seat. AI is running out of money way faster.

AI Data Centers Are an Even Bigger Disaster Than Previously Thought
An investment manager realized he made a crucial mistake — and that his grim prediction about AI investments may not have been cynical enough.

Let's be clear on who Christopher Columbus was, a conquerer who spread disease & slavery who was so sadistic in the ways he treated natives he appalled the architects of the Spanish Inquisition. That's the fact of him there is to reclaim.

I wish any British politician would say anything even half as good as this
UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Millions of people boycotting & speaking out in unison put Jimmy Kimmel back on the air.
Let’s not forget he’s not the only victim of fascism.
For every Kimmel there’s hundreds more who’ve been silenced for their views that we may never hear of.
Fight for them.

There's a vision for the future - start articulating it now.
There are some easy, immediate fixes for some of our major problems.
First, we do actually have homes for everyone. We can put everyone in an apartment starting tomorrow if we wanted to. There are a lot of ways of making it happen.

None of the people saying this are gonna provide mental healthcare anyway! They’re slashing healthcare budgets and RFK is literally blaming SSRI’s for shootings!
As Dex says, they just want to stigmatize mental illness and make a case for their eugenics plans!

"we need mental health care, not gun control!"
Multiple mass shootings would not have been prevented with more mental health care. Mental health care for these fuckers is institutionalization.
The problem is the guns.

Just 3 days ago the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission silenced the journalists to not broadcast the protests.

If 1% of the population were trans, and trans folks committed 1% of all mass shootings, the total would be 42.
Mass shooters since 2018 who were transgender — 4.
Mass shooters since 2018 who were not transgender — 4,193.
Hope that helps.

We really need to get payment processors regulated into the ground, make those bastards have no right to decide what you buy, you just get to process the payment and shut the fuck up Paypal.

“My account got banned a couple of days ago for making purchases which violate the ToS. Upon querying w/ staff over the phone I've been told that it was ebooks that I've been buying”
