A thing I think may be good to emphasise right now is you don't individually need to witness each horror and that posting is not, in fact, praxis. If you want to do something find a local mutual aid group cuz there's actual stuff you can fix and help.

remember, the blitzkrieg is intended to make you feel like there is nothing you can do about it; that’s the only reason to go forward in this haphazard and sloppy manner all in the first week

and the choice of that strategy tells you they are afraid you *will* do something about it

my granny era starts tomorrow!!

i may peek in here now and then but not for more than an hour!

i'm off. take care of yourselves 💕💕
starting the week of the inauguration i'm going to viciously trim my online experience and change my app timers on social media so that i can't use them for more than an hr a day.

i'm replacing doomscrolling with catching up on shows/movies, more reading, more writing, & cozy gaming

so I had planned on having a nice first day back to school today!!
but when i decided to treat myself with takeout turkish food for lunch, it turned out that the restaurant doesn’t give a single shit about cross-contamination in their kitchen lmao

who, me? oh, just remembering back to 2 days before the 2024 election when i recorded a 7 minute long tiktok trying to appeal to folks’ humanity and asking them to care about poc, lgbtq people and disabled people, hitting “post”, then watching it disappear without a trace from my page 5 mins later
Twitter, Meta, and Tiktok are all state media now. They will suppress and censor narratives, beliefs, and views opposed by the administration.

Act accordingly. www.bbc.com/news/article...
Instagram hides search results for 'Democrats'
Meta says it is working quickly to resolve the problem, which has prompted accusations of bias on social media.

For all the flak George Lucas gets for his writing, pretty hard to deny the "so this is how liberty dies" line is an unfortunately spot on banger.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

i hadn't seen it had since been removed.....she was right and they don't want people to hear this. spread it more.
A German citizen on Tiktok warns US users about the similarities between Hitler’s rise to power & Trump’s collision with Tiktok, goes viral, then when her prophecy comes true, the video is removed for community guidelines violation.

Draw your own conclusions.

anyway tiktok being back up so quickly is more dangerous to my mind than any perceived danger that prompted the ban in the first place.

ain't no way that algorithm isn't about to start pushing a trump approved narrative.

I have been thinking a lot about how becoming more informed and aware over the next four years in a way that’s really useful might mean more books about history and less getting sucked into the daily firehose of bad news which is the present
I was raised in a multi-generational organizing family and I can say with firsthand knowledge that 20th century organizers read theory and they studied history and literature quite closely

The need to do that hasn’t changed

If studying history isn’t part of your organizing work, change that

"Autism and most mental health disorders present differently in Black women…Because autism is looked at through such a White and male lens, people don’t recognize similar behaviors with traditionally feminine or Black interests."

Advocates say data is playing catch-up to their lived experiences with gender and racial bias, often leaving them with missed diagnoses and minimal support.

We had to get in on the video action too — Bluesky now has custom feeds for video!

Like any other feed, you can choose to pin these or not. Bluesky is yours to customize.

Right now, my general game plan for the next four years is:

1) make sure I have everything I need, because I can't help others if I don't

2) make sure my friends & family are okay

3) make sure my community is okay

4) repeat from step 1. if at any point, I find someone not ok... try to help.

this thread is very good and very necessary, and definitely aligns with my plans for my relationship with social media and the news this year.
Also - please spend time deciding how you are going to engage with the content this administration and the complicit media are going to be putting out from here on out.

Our nervous systems are precious resources and keeping them in a hyper-reactive state is BAD-real bad. We need to be intentional.

I’m gonna miss how smart and funny people were on that app. People were putting you onto grant applications, deconstructing biases about America, teaching you about neurodivergency…

btw I'm making light, but I can not believe I had to get booted out of that app with an alert that praised Trump for promising to fix everything.

2025 is truly the comically worst possible version of everything.

Fed up with Meta? Avoiding Instagram or Facebook isn’t enough to stop Meta from harvesting and profiting from your private information. Here’s how to limit Meta’s ability to monetize your personal data.
Mad at Meta? Don't Let Them Collect and Monetize Your Personal Data
If you’re fed up with Meta right now, you’re not alone. Meta tracks you across millions of websites and apps and its business model relies on your data. If you want to limit Meta’s ability to collect ...

It’s always a good time, but especially now, to bookmark the websites of artists you like. Maybe even have an offline list of names of folks you want to keep up with/support in your notes app or whatever. Never know what app, website, etc will be banned next. 🤡
