I haven't been on here because I've been so susceptible to doomscrooming so instead I go to reddit which can be equally as bad

for example today I saw someone described LOOT IN VIDEO GAME as same thing as "slutty partner" instead of a fully realized human being

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Zohran wants universal childcare for everyone in this city and I hear people who NEED this asking 'OK but how will he pay for this?' I'm like 'bitch I haven't heard your ridiculous ass ask ONCE how the city is paying 11 BILLION A YEAR FOR COPS.' NOT ONCE. So damn demagogued.

Banning trans people from owning guns is a really REALLY significant escalation and I think the scariest part about it that's not being discussed at all is that the plan is to declare that trans people are mentally ill

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Senior Justice Department officials are weighing proposals to limit transgender people’s right to possess firearms, according to two officials familiar with the internal discussions.

This is a thread about a new charity endeavor I’ve heard many good things about that allows you to send food and supplies directly to families in Gaza- I want to try it out before I recommend it and Obada offered to see if it works! Instructions on how to do it are in the thread
mommunism.bsky.social Molly Shah @mommunism.bsky.social · Sep 4
Alright Obada offered to be my test case to see if this service works! gazagivingcart.org

Basically you can order food and supplies directly through them and specify Obada Salqawe as who you want it to go to and they will work to get it to him!

The federal government is waging war against democratically held cities and states. Full stop.

We need to be honest about what this is: a republican led war against the states.

At the core of transmisogyny is, inevitably, misogyny itself. The viciousness with which some people trash trans women for how they look, or their supposed artificiality, or perceived errors in their behaviour, comes from a fundamental loathing of any women who doesn’t conform to their expectations.

Graham Linehan once took issue with a sketch I did and tweeted about me referring to me not by name but only as to who my boyfriend was and called me an NPC ( non player character.) It was misogynistic and his “standing up for women” schtick is baloney.

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life.

And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should

Speaking on this; there's a tumblr post that PERFECTLY explains why TERFs have 'so much reach', and folk need to see it.

Stop engaging with TERFS, block them, and get them offline. Likewise, report *their* harmful comments.

Organise and be smart.
Screenshot of a tumblr post by user khazrablood. It shows another screenshot from twitter/X by @advocate.com, stating; "Outcry grows after multiple trans users were targetted for mild criticisms of anti-trans billionaire." Beneath the quote, a hyperlink pop up of an informative article appears, with two images; the first is Bluesky's logo, and the second is of Joanne Rowling. Under the two portrait images, the header reads; "Bluesky silenced trans voices over J. K Rowling, here's why" The sub-header of the hyperlink further reads; "Outcry grows after multiple trans users were targetted for mild criticisms of the anti-trans billionaire." Underneath the screenshot of the Twitter/X post, khazrablood writes; "wannabe twitter already bending the knee to terfs." Following the previous tumblr post by khazrablood, fourohfourlifenotfound, a different user, has reblogged the post and added; If we are ever going to stop this, then you guys need to start learning why this happens. And it's not always because some executive made a decision to favor a TERF. It's because the technology is broken in a way TERFs have learned to use to their advantage. So content moderation is a HUGE task. It is incredibly inefficient to manually monitor all user reports-- when you "flag" something as spam or inappropriate or 'inciting harm' (what Blueskye is saying the banned users had in their posts). So what actually happens is that the bulk of it is reviewed by machine. The precise "how" is a bit of a black box (if you say exactly, it makes it more vulnerable to being bypasses), but we generally know it's a bit of machine learning ("ai", but not he chatgpt kind) and a bit of automation. Generically this gets referred to as an "algorithm" (which is a meaningless word I don't have time to unpack here). a continuation of khazrablood's tumblr post, reblogged and added to by fourohfourlifenotfound; The TERFs have a formula. A battle plan, if you will. I've been watching them use it for almost a decade. And they play social media sites like a fiddle every single time. The way it works is that they coordinate attacks on targets they dislike. (Usually trans people, but ace discourse is a notable example of targets not necessarily fitting that demographic.) They send links to each other of posts to report. They'll flag it for whatever the nearest thing they can is. The blueskye users were wishing ill to JK Rowling, so "inciting harm" was the excuse selected. "Inappropriate or sexually explicit content" is a common selection for other trans content. Then what happens is the content moderation "algorithm" sees a huge influx of reports for a certain post or user. And instead of making a human manually review all of that, it automatically initiates a ban or takedown. And if the "algorithm" has word censorship built in, it will begin to auto-flag for things containing words in posts frequently flagged, so it begins to auto-flag the word trans itself. The end of tumblr user fourohfourlifenotfound addition to khazrablood's original tumblr post; This has been happening for almost a decade. There was a trans youtuber who proved TERF hater group chats flagged his videos so much that it started auto-demonitizing identical videos with the word trans in the title, but leaving ones without the word alone. I strongly suspect this is why we see huge amounts of trans women banned for no reason on tumblr. And this is clearly what is happening now. How do we fix it? There's no easy solution. All the things about the "algorithm" that make moderation easier for the social media platforms are the exact reasons it's so difficult to defeat. It's hard to teach a machine what's a genuine flag and a malicious one. Again, it's been almost a decade since the issue was raised with youtube, and there has yet to be a solution for rooting out malicious coordinated flagging. But here's one thing that can help: get TERFs off of social media. Stop letting them bait you into petty fights. Learn how to identify them. Block and report them.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive GLOBAL study revealed COVID-19 vaccines utilizing mRNA technology PREVENTED OVER 2.5 MILLION deaths WORLDWIDE between 2020 and 2024.

It reveals that vaccinations didn’t JUST protect against illness.

They PRESERVED nearly 15 MILLION years of human life.
