Il y a soixante-quatre ans, le 17 octobre 1961, la police française massacrait des Algérien·nes qui manifestaient pacifiquement pour leur dignité.

a stated goal of project 2025 was declaring trans existence an obscenity.

• consider yesterday’s executive order

• consider the thread below

• consider what itch (& steam!) are doing because of hate group pressure on payment processors

it’s all the same thread. now is the time to say “no.”
One of the most pervasive and destructive of these ideologies is so-called "diversity, equity, and inclusion" (DEI). In the Al context, DEl includes the suppression or distortion of factual information about race or sex; manipulation of racial or sexual representation in model outputs; incorporation of concepts like critical race theory, transgenderism, unconscious bias, intersectionality, and systemic racism; and discrimination on the basis of race or sex. DEl displaces the commitment to truth in favor of preferred outcomes and, as recent history illustrates, poses an existential threat to reliable Al.

The fascists are counting on you finding erotica and porn too distasteful to support. Because they always start here. And even if they ended here, sexuality and erotism are integral components of queer expression. You can't support queer authors without supporting 'nsfw' content.

Okay, well.

Queer & especially trans authors of erotica and other content deemed 'nsfw' by major platforms, please drop links to where people can find your stories in the replies.

Everyone else: Repost people's links. Stop worrying about the sanctity of your feed & help the most impacted authors.

A screenshot of R code in the Positron console. A function is defined that takes two digits and uses them to test whether the number they spell out is that number multiplied by .2 when the digits are reversed. Five numbers are tested. 45 is correct (True), but 15, 25, 35, and 68 are incorrect (False). A screenshot from the video game Knights of the Old Republic II. A screen displays a math puzzle: "Second key number: Reversing second keys digits increases value by 1/5" and the options to answer the puzzle are 15, 25, 35, 45, and 68.

I clicked on it and it started pitching me shit ideas with the confidence of a mediocre white guy in a writers room
Screenshot of meta AI Money’s motive for running away Sounds like a humorous take on personal finance struggles! Based on the article’s satirical tone, possible motives for the money’s escape could include: - seeking adventure and freedom from strict budgeting - tiring of being constantly spend or managed - attracted to the allure of “greener pastures” or better investment opportunities - needing a break from the AuDHD family’s creative financial management strategies - perhaps it just wanted to experience life in a billionaire’s luxury item, hinted by the last eyewitness sighting

Is history a chain of accidents we survive, or a mirror we refuse to face? When we remember, do we honor the past — or betray it by freezing it in myth?

History does not vanish — it lingers, waiting for our vigilance or our silence. My new book confronts the quiet dangers of forgetting. Read it, not to be comforted, but to stay awake.

April 25th in Portugal. A revolution without war. Soldiers with carnations in their rifles. A nation that said: enough. On this day in 1974, Portugal toppled its dictatorship not with blood, but with music, marching, and collective defiance. The Carnation Revolution remains one of the rare moments in history where liberation arrived not through destruction, but through refusal—of fear, silence, obedience. What does this mean in 2025? It means remembrance is not static. It means history is not a graveyard of dates, but a live wire through which we confront the present. Vel’ d’Hiv was the opposite of April 25. It was silence instead of song. Obedience instead of resistance. Administration instead of justice. But both are part of the same question: What is the threshold between duty and complicity? When does a system protect—and when does it persecute? April 25 reminds us that the gears of injustice can be stopped. That refusal is also a form of construction. That dignity is not granted—it is reclaimed. The past does not repeat. It insists. And today, it whispers: "What will you do with your freedom?" — Joffrey Baeyaert April 25th in Portugal.

Born from the far-right surge in France, this essay began in French. This English version isn’t a translation but a reckoning—reshaped to meet the urgency of now, when silence is no longer an option.

#BookSky #ebook #history #philosophy
I’m Joffrey Baeyaert—writer, researcher, and strategist—working at the porous edges where memory, power, and classification converge. My trajectory is not one of specialization, but of sedimentation: layered, recursive, and quietly defiant of disciplinary borders. I began in the humanities—four years steeped in literature, philosophy, and history. I taught briefly, introducing students to the architecture of language and the weight of historical silence. But theory alone felt insufficient. I was drawn toward the living systems of the world—toward biology, then marine ecology, and eventually into the tangled realms of data and algorithmic governance. From tracking sarks to dissecting machine logic, my work has always sought the same thing: to understand how systems encode values—and how, without vigilance, those values calcify into exclusion. Remembrance and Vigilance: Vel’ d’Hiv and the Enduring Logic of Exclusion is my attempt to map a terrain we prefer to leave unmapped. Not to equate past and present, but to expose their structural rhymes. I write not to recount, but to confront: the bureaucratization of cruelty, the erosion of moral agency beneath the veil of procedure, the ease with which injustice can be administered with a signature and a silence. I was born in France. Today I live in Portugal. I’ve worked in ecological research, data strategy, and AI ethics—moving across disciplines not to escape coherence, but to find it elsewhere. I wear suspenders. I trust questions more than answers. My work is eclectic, yes, but deliberately so—anchored in the belief that critical thought must be both rigorous and disobedient.

At #ahoy25 @aendra.com reminds everyone why we need to build social networks that both protect vulnerable populations and provide them with safe spaces AND not remove them from public life.
Queer resilience is visibility 👏 @ahoy.eu
Slide: social media is more than Just a Thing queer people do online. It's community. it's mental health support. It's a lifeline.
