Please help if you can!!

Every day in Gaza is a fight to survive.Hammam is a volunteer nurse helping save the wounded on the brink of death while his family starves. his brother Abood has severe epilepsy & constant seizures without medication. they urgently need $200 for his medication & food 🤲😭 chuffed.org/project/1844...

the venezuelan earthquakes tragedy continues on, two weeks later. i'm more actively posting about it on twitter because i do not have the energy to keep up with multiple social media pages at the moment + we venezuelans heavily rely on twitter to spread urgent news and information, bsky is useless.

informative thread i made for instagram but i thought i'd share it here too 🆘🆘🆘PLEASE REPOST IF YOU CAN'T DONATE!!! we are DESPERATELY trying to get more people to talk about this!! venezuelans, please share useful links in the replies ⬇️

I shouldn’t have to enter a life-ruining amount of easily hackable personal information to visit a website, and neither should anyone else of ANY age.

We really should stop calling it "age verification." Because that is not what it is. Call it "forced doxxing" instead. Most people think the concept of age verification and protecting kids online is common sense. So we must rebrand it to reveal its true purpose, which is something they will fear.

Rasheed is literally risking his life for this game. Israelis could decide to capture, torture, or murder him at any point for daring to share the truth of the Nakba or Palestinian culture. He truly believes in games and their power to tell these stories. Please help his courage not be in vain.

I’m NOT excited and I’m NOT thrilled. I’m honestly scared to share this, but I’m not a coward. I have to show you what you helped us create. None of this would have been possible without your help, and we can’t finish it without your support www.launchgood.com/1948 youtu.be/D4qh1FAPEUo

PLEASE READ BELLOW

Hey seriously, literally in the bills it says they'll also use identifying information, such as your age data for "other purposes". That means your data goes into a government surveillance database. This would be for ANY *OS*, which is the thing your fucking PC runs off of. Call your reps NOW.

I like bluesky because it feels so much like tumblr 1. barely works 2. userbase is annoying (affectionate)(not that affectionate) 3. being queer on here feels like I’m actively participating in ruining some tech company’s investment

“People need to be nicer to each other online” and “people need to develop thicker skin because it’s not normal or healthy to get upset at everything you don’t agree with” are two statements than can and should coexist actually

Again - BlueSky was originally Jack Dorsey’s pet project to make a Web3 social media / NFT trading post until a bunch of trans furries got ahold of invite codes and started mass-proliferating them to other trans furries and then suddenly BlueSky was 90% queers and annoying leftists and Jack fled.

it actually pisses me off the way they describe mario as "ai generated". not bc i love illumination or even nintendo inc. just shows that anything we could ever make is just "content". no one cares about the process or the craft. its just funny colors and shapes, doesnt matter where it came out of

Due to trauma and specific autism traits i had to teach myself this skill a lot. Yes a fix tag can make me feel very bad, angry, disgusted etc. (and mind you, even a very “innocent” one, not even taboo) and I taught myself to take a breath and move on. It’s essential.

Important shit that I’m still trying to learn.

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there. I need you to listen to these people. STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

if you care about trans people, do not watch the new jk rowling show. don’t even hate watch it or you will be funding this new intentionally transphobic organization. we cannot allow hateful people take away more of our rights

Really good thread. "We should ban minors from SocMed" -sounds- like common sense but the moment you actualky consider its full ramifications, you will realize its actually a very, very reactionary, conservative position to hold and is worth pushing back against

taizou@taizou.12bit.club · 4mo ago

just seen an exchange going "all under 16s/18s should be banned from having an account on social media and we should bring back club penguin for them" does no one on this earth know what a teenager is anymore have you completely lost all conception that humans have different stages of development

just this week: -- OpenAI killed Sora -- Disney subsequently cancelled its investment in OpenAI -- Wikipedia is now banning LLM-generated content ...tell me again how this is all "inevitable" and you have to "get on board or get left behind"?

404 Media@404media.co · 4mo ago

NEW: Wikipedia has banned AI-generated content.

Small note. Mass layoffs like these are also a tactic to devalue the work because workers become more desperate while companies create false scarcity. Do not, ever, forget your worth. Don’t let them win. You make this industry exist. They don’t.

Section 230 must be protected at all costs. Continue calling your reps to oppose any attempt to repeal or change it.

TechFreedom@techfreedom.org · 5mo ago

📢 Let's clear the air: There’s a lot of misinformation about Section 230. The reality is that today's user-driven Internet simply wouldn't exist without it. As we mark the 30th anniversary of the law that helped create the Internet, we're debunking some common misconceptions.

I don't think I can explain the euphoria I felt when I read, "OpenAI’s decision to exit the video generation business" the shit doesn't work. we've known since the outset it doesn't work. It has never been able to do what they claim and when they're made to buck up, they back out. It's a scam!

This really is an encapsulation of what being an American is: experiencing something needlessly cruel and profoundly stupid while propaganda you can’t turn off blares about how free and lucky you are

Incredible scene: Travelers wait on hours-long security line at George Bush International Airport in Houston while Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA” blasts through the speakers. (video shared directly with me)

I’ll say it again and again, evangelicals are the most dangerous group of people on the planet, no fucking contest.

PRESENTING! My attempt to do something productive about the SHITFEST I'll get to grow old in (only time will tell if a long life rn would be good or bad 🙃) AND encourage my fave show to come back! Haven't time to do both separately so I SMUSH TOGETHER #RenewLEGOMonkieKid #GazaAid #FreePalestine

ok, we are CAUGHT UP (for now akfhslffjfsjfsdl 🤞🙃🤞) #RenewMonkieKid #RenewLEGOMonkieKid

So they basically just exposed what we all knew from the start: that the so-called "Kids Online Safety Act" is a shoddy, thinly-veiled and anti-speech government surveillance bill and nothing more. Call your reps and tell them to oppose KOSA and repealing Section 230. #Section230

TimelandIsWacky@timelandiswacky.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Haven't seen a lot of talk about this so I'm taking it with a cautious grain of salt but this is why I'm so adamant about opposing shit like KOSA or the SCREEN Act. Lawmakers can't argue that these tech companies are untrustworthy but then say we must trust them with even more private information.

Screenshotting this and alt texting all of it since it will most likely get deleted because Hammam is Palestinian. It deserves to be seen and not erased.

This is genuinely insane, I clicked to see the years expecting the low part to be 70s or maybe 90s but its 2015!!!!! The entire anti trans panic is a decade old

Toby Buckle@polphilpod.bsky.social · 6mo ago

a stat i always cite is the number of anti-trans articles in the press went from 60 in a year, to 7,500

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here. Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

He literally says in this clip that ICE will keep in Minnesota “quick reaction forces” — a military term — to go after “agitators.” Remember that those on the ground in MPLS have spent more than a week trying to tell everyone that Trump’s prior “deescalation” was a ruse and ICE is still operational
