A challenge for us. You know Ruaa (now DELETED, itsmeio.bsky.social) relies on this app to feed her family. Asking for help was already so degrading + she barely has internet. So...how many $5 weekly pledges can we get by Friday to ensure help even when banned?

I hear you, but this show is problematic and controversial here in New Zealand. The Polynesian Panthers spent decades trying to prove they weren't a gang, but the writers and producers of the show ignored that part of their work.

Hello world? How are you?

I really need your help.I want to continue my studies and get a master's degree, but that requires a large amount of money.💔💔

I have nothing; I can barely provide food and drink for my family.

Perhaps someone can help me complete my studies and secure my future. 😔

"The [rise in accommodations] has occurred disproportionately at the most prestigious and expensive institutions."

So you're saying access to diagnoses might be unequally distributed along the usual lines of privilege & oppression?

If demonizing access appeals to you, sit with why that might be.
I don't think people realize how much the use of academic disability accommodations has exploded over the past decade—especially at the most elite schools. More than 20 percent of Harvard and Stanford students apparently receive some form of accommodation:

Wrecking young people's reading, writing & analytical skills during their formative years is an economic imperative for AI companies. For many of us who learned these things without AI, slop can't pass for news or entertainment. Destroying standards is essential to the industry's growth & survival.

Please note: I've taken my web shop down because I'm heading out on vacation starting next week.

Also, my website will be going offline when my hosting expires at the end of the year. It will remain offline indefinitely until I rebuild something simple. GenAI theft has destroyed something else.

U.S. Catholic bishops recently banned trans care throughout the church's sprawling healthcare systems.

@davidforbes.bsky.social delves into how this fits the institution's long history of hatred and abuse, a direction that has not changed despite its recent p.r. shifts.

I think straight and cis people really have no idea what things are like out there for the rest of us. I’ve received minimum one paper Like That per year since I started teaching, if not one or more per semester, all of which contained varying degrees of blunt hate speech directed *at me* lmao

It’s unreal that we take children from their families and pay strangers to care for them, when the majority of removals are due to poverty in the first place
I'd add that in a humane system, the financial assistance we give to foster parents should also be available to bio-family.

Often $$$ is a huge hurdle for extended relatives, adult siblings, and yes, even parents to overcome in providing a safe and stable home.

Repeating this one more time:

If you absolutely need home cameras and doorbell cams and such, Reolink devices can function 100% without any access to the internet.

Combine that with a Home Assistant server and the only one who can see what's on your cameras is you.
remember that your ring doorbell starts using face recognition on every face it sees today :)
