I have a sudden urge to set something on fire

Authors, Beware! There's a firm called "ClaimsHero" doing aggressive social media outreach claiming to
"help" you file to get $ in the Anthropic class action. In fact, it's a bait-and-switch, they are luring authors to sign up with them, then OPTING THEM OUT of the class action so they'll get zilch.

@diannalgunn.bsky.social

And this is always, always the agenda of Doug Ford and every other conservative politician

Because when you educate the masses, they're more likely to notice you trying to pull one over on them

Tell your MPP that Bill 33 isn’t about supporting students and strengthening education – it’s about silencing parents and the local communities who know our schools best. #onted #onpoli

@diannalgunn.bsky.social

I realize there are so many fights going on right now and it's so, so hard to find the spoons to do shit like this

But censoring people, removing them from public life, is a massive step towards genocide, and we MUST fight it

Dianna Gunn Does (Fictional) Murders 🇨🇦 @diannalgunn.bsky.social · 20d

Not seeing much on my timeline about it anymore, so here's a reminder: payment processors are still trying to censor NSFW content of all kinds, and are in fact getting more aggressive about it; I'm seeing stories of folks losing access every day

Call them & tell them THIS IS BULLSHIT

Stop payment processors from censoring games!
