Hello bluesky!

I don't visit social media daily, but when I do, I post mutual aid requests, politics, and spirituality, usually. Follow along if you're into it.

Deleting one #media app at a time to slowly adjust and not completely shock myself.

I think we're not talking enough about the amount of mourning we are doing as a #collective, as life as we know it shifts.

Sure, we are making choices, but in sort of a boom stick to the head sort of way 😅

"[P]eople need to make noise ... Otherwise, libraries are just going to continue being cut, because they aren't being viewed as essential."
Libraries are sites of refuge, where curiosity is nurtured, where people find shelter, education, entertainment, job assistance, skill-building programs, and access to resources that would otherwise be out of reach.
In the Fight Against Fascism, Libraries Should Be Defended — Not Defunded
Libraries represent the kind of infrastructure progressive leaders must fortify at all costs, especially in this moment.

This is constantly happening. A paramilitary force is violently enforcing second-class status for nonwhite people the United States with the support of police forces across the country. Sure, ICE must be abolished, but so must every institution that supports such brutality. & this cannot be reformed
Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.

She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

“It’s a narrative shift designed to get us to see those women as ‘less than’. They want you to see them as expendable & not worth getting worked up over. They want you to accept atrocities

Do not allow it to happen

They’re not expendable. They’re not to blame. They’re worth getting worked up over”
15 Year Olds are Children and they Need Protection
Why are we debating if pedophilia is 'really that bad'? To protect pedophiles. This carefully crafted PR narrative is designed to make you think children can consent to sex with adults. They can't.

A brief thread on alt-text.

Alt text is descriptive text that conveys the meaning of an image. It's designed to make visual content accessible to people with vision disabilities. When a person uses assistive technology such as a screen reader, the screen reader will read the onscreen text aloud 1/7

Howdy friends

I lost access to my phone Wednesday and am unable to transfer my information like contacts and passwords for now. If you usually hear from me by now, this is why I'm quiet. Can't afford to get phone repaired yet. Have sporadic access to certain apps by wifi.

Lastly, the reason they are scraping everything with genAI is because in order to act on any info they DO somehow find, at some point it takes actual humans. Allowing in AI everywhere that can just feed them the info they're looking for makes impossible policing tasks possible. Refuse genAI always.

This is it exactly.
that's wtf i'm saying lmao

like they said it was an "informer", but that could literally just be some agent's gf who's just like "oh that anti-ice group chat said they're holding a rally tomorrow"

or the agent just joining the publicly available link to slightly less public group chat

An important takeaway from feds infiltrating a signal chat is that they probably did it by getting a link posted publicly & then just lurking. For all the fear mongering about how "nothing on the Internet is safe," in reality signal & e2e apps are as safe as your security culture. Vet & hand invite!

You know who else has been detained for an egregious length of time over a bad cheque?

Alma Bowman. She's a disabled woman who spent 30 months in ICE custody during the first regime.

When released she was a whistleblower who exposed atrocities in the camp.

ICE grabbed her again in March
Disabled People are Being Mistreated in ICE Detention Facilities
Why is no one talking about it? Where's the media? Where's the public outcry? Another example of the pervasive nature of ableism and how society views disabled people as expendable.
