On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂‍↕️

I’m happy Juice Box is here, but I’m really happy for Billy. He needed a cat companion so bad. He was fucking bored with just me: “Oh wow, Frank is walking to the kitchen. Big if true.” Now he has a constant source of intrigue and fun. BFFs!

Saw a post by a Black person w a clip of Ray Charles talking about Elvis and overall Black music appropriation and here comes a wp, “I am white and I hate him.” Ok? Why couldn’t they just say they hate him? Why announce they are yt? Answer: To tell Black ppl “not all wp”

Dear wp, Stop starting your opinions/thoughts about anti-Black racism (or anything that centers non-wp) with “I’m white but…” You are not the exception. You are not the outlier.

OK KO premiered 9 years ago?! Today, the show is not available to stream legally but is being kept alive by a devoted fanbase who I hear from all the time. You guys are the best. Thank you for watching the show!

The TOS being so strict that they control you offsite is the problem; sites like Patreon and Kofi have offsite clauses too. The social criminalization of the suggestion that somewhere you might be doing nsfw is a problem. It's branding a person as obscene and we need consumers to stand up for us

a bunch of popular ASMR artists lost their channels forever this week, after YouTube cited them for violating terms against "sexually gratifying" content: www.404media.co/youtube-asmr...

It’s absolutely terrifying to watch a country that ten years ago was ranked the strongest country in Europe on trans rights, just turn around and decide to eliminate trans rights entirely. It’s not even like there was a huge party shift. Nothing else happened.

among other things, Toby has pointed out that he could not print his discussions of trans rights in the UK. no one would publish it.

Regardless of how they remix the language, every super rich dude since the beginning of capitalism has only had one idea & it’s that by virtue of being in a position to extract more wealth from the labor of the collective than we ourselves are able to, they are entitled to more rights than we are.

Very cool that Shopify’s CEO thinks the poor should have far less of a vote than the rich. Still worth that ad read money, folks?

Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke says “good system.” In response to the following proposal: 

“Interesting... what about weighted voting proportional to the level of income tax you pay? (no income tax paid - O vote, $1-100k - 1 vote, $100-200k 2 votes and so on... cap it at 5 votes for $500k+. For those that constantly complain about the wealthy not paying tax/fair share they'd have nothing to worry about right? Why not reward representation of taxation and build a democracy around those that foot the bill?”

I’ll say it - Scrappy-Doo is actually a great idea. The problem is that after one season of Scrappy, H-B threw out the formula - and half the cast - to focus on him more. When people “hate Scrappy,” I think people mean they hated the new format, and Scrappy - undeservedly - takes the hit for it.

I hate to borrow the TV Tropes term of “Rescued from the Scrappy Heap” but that’s exactly what it is and it take creativity & treating the char like a char that doesn’t exist at the expense of others (much like Scrappy gradually did over time) His creator has even said that’s exactly what happened
