Decided to uncouple my politics with personal stuff, so I made this for the latter. Kept my old account, renamed it and left it political.
I seem to have failed at that.

Fight Chat Control - Protect Digital Privacy in the EU
Learn about the EU Chat Control proposal and contact your representatives to protect digital privacy and encryption.

Not to draw attention away from Brian Kilmeade or the other shit happening now, but if you're in the EU, you should know about this:
fightchatcontrol.eu
And if you're not in the EU, maybe help spreading awareness of it?
I'm not an EU-ian, but this would quickly be adopted by USA and others, too.

Disney for generations: fuck with our IP and we will literally fucking ruin your life
Disney now: We gave $1 billion to Sam Altman so he could make a gooner Mickey Mouse that encourages kids to kill themselves, this is totally fine

Something I think a lot of Americans are going to have to struggle with over the next few years is that the rest of the world really does hate you.
Like, you've rarely been popular, but you were able to coast on a shared cultural hegemony. Now you're *just* purveyors of global fascism.

This is the worst yet. Having Medicare as-is has the huge advantage of being able to get testing/procedures covered with minimal difficulty.
Add AI into the mix and you are no better off than if you have commercial insurance.
Abhorrent, all of it.

Giving parents the discretion not to vaccinate their kids is one of the strongest ways the state reinforces the parent-child relationship as one of ownership.
Your parents have the ability to decide whether you will die of preventable disease, because you are their property not a person.

some significant part of this is just catch-all fear for “this is not the child I ordered” I think
Oh, here's a big surprise. The transphobes don't believe in ADHD either.
then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM
