So no joke: the dictatorship in 1970s Argentina once banned Venn diagrams. Because they could be seen as finding common ground between two (apparently) different groups, and if you’re a dictator, unity is a threat. There’s an artist whose work revolves around this!

The London Economic calls this "very fishy". The more I see what the right has done – and is doing – I'd call it more than "fishy".

Most moral panics are 99.9% caused by amoral people who are trying to deflect attention away from themselves.
The moral panic over trans kids is a continuation of moral panics over comic books, video games, music lyrics & other grievance-driven nonsense that aims to control teenagers www.scientificamerican.com/article/anti...
Anti-Trans Moral Panics Endanger All Young People
Moral panics aimed against trans people are both attacks on that community and part of a broader strategy to control youth across the U.S.

Friendly reminder for #SecondLife residents - turn on 2FA.
I get it, it's a pain - but you don't need a phone for 2FA - there's browser extensions and authenticators for PC that you can use - without 2FA, you are fucked if someone gets your password.
