I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.

The email from Google informs the recipient that they have received a notification under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that some of their materials allegedly infringe on copyrights. It explains the removal process, mentions that notice details will be posted on Lumen, warns against repeated violations, and lists one affected Google Drive URL at the bottomA nearly identical mobile browser screenshot of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. It shows a search for the same Amnesty International UK resources URL, resulting in the same message: "This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine."A mobile browser screenshot of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.

Growing up in online spaces with a lot of discourse really prepares you so poorly for handling conflict in the real world like. Sometimes you do have to actually talk about shit because going scorched earth and excommunicating yourself over small disagreements is not worth it as an adult

if u work in an art that mass media market structures dont support, and ur trying to make a living, instead of chasing an audience ur mostly trying to appeal to a handful of rich ppl with rich ppl hangups, guilting and flattering them and trying to make them go "hmm" and believe that they're wise

day 2 of being a garbageman and tbh this is kind of a dream job in some ways. idk. literally no one has a big ego when ur all touching garbage all day. I'm also solving the mystery of where trash goes which is exciting

I've read a lot of great books recently, but "sorry to disrupt the peace" I just absolutely tore through. the tone of that book is... incredible. really close to home

years ago, a couple years into transition, went to a comedy bang bang live show. took a bus out to a stop that people only get off at if they're headed to a show. a group of young women my age get off at the same stop. we're all walking the same way.
