they don't want trans women to play women's sports bc 1) prohibiting trans women from women's sports (de jure) and men's sports (de facto) is a great way to otherize them as something not part of humanity 2) policing trans women and trans girl athletes is a socially-beloved Sexual Assault Machine

if you have 50c, please send it 🙏🏽 i’ve been trying to scrape together the funds for this scan for weeks. the longer the tumor goes untreated, the faster it spreads. if everyone sent 50c or $1, it would add up 😔 ko-fi.com/rebekamash

Lot of cis people still dont see trans people being forced out of public spaces as segregation and i urge them to wake the fuck up and read a history book as well as a dictionary Its *literally* segregation If you think even saying it is bad, you should be angry its actually happening

I can't imagine letting some LLM doing all my thinking for me, so I'd be fine.

if you want trans culture (e.g., trans literature, trans cinema, trans humor, trans music, trans art) you have to support the people doing the social reproduction work to make it possible. No one will create those conditions from the outside.

Is everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy? In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.

I hate being penalized for not having a car.

You blame candidates when it's voters that want something different than the failed policy of corporate backed centrists whose only campaign tag lines are "we will resist trump" while being bankrolled by the same donors, offering no real change to the status quo.

Malcolm P. Johnson@admiralmpj.bsky.social · 4d ago

There was a time when Democrats would go against Democrats, and in the end you would vote for the other Democrat if your guy or gal didn't win. But in all those cases, we were SURE the other Democrat wasn't trying to destroy the party. That's not true anymore, not with the DSA candidates.

I think weird dreams are just part of being sensitive to hidden currents. Mabye it'd go somewhere if I spent more time meditating.

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor

The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

AI continues to burn down everything it was trained on, as it did with people handling questions on stack overflow or writing tutorials. it's not just stealing everything ever to resell, it's permanently messing up ways people did things without it. won't have enough updated info to steal in 5 years

There's going to be vods that consist of streams that never took place because they're just the hallucinations of a computer program, and it bears stressing that this is one of many terrible consequences of the fact that the LLM industry wasn't shut down from the start.
