I'm a non-presenting trans woman wandering on the net; I'm part of the SF, Comic, Fantasy, Role-Playing & Furry fandoms, and mostly I want to make people happy. FYI, I'm 60. :P I block and report bots and trolls on sight. And sometimes go a-huntin.

A new @acluofiowa.bsky.social report found students with disabilities were referred or arrested by school resource officers at more than 2x the rate of other students, and Black students were arrested at 3.7x the rate of other students. Young people deserve an education, not criminalization.

Black Iowa students are arrested at nearly four times the rate of their peers, ACLU report finds

Researchers found Black students were referred to law enforcement twice as often and arrested 3.7 times as often as their peers.

SCREEN Act, which would have required mandatory age-verification for sites (like this) that allow "material harmful to minors" failed to pass out of committee after thousands and thousands of people called their Senators. More work ahead!

The SCREEN Act just failed to pass in the Senate Commerce Committee! 🎉 Enormous thanks to the thousands (!!) of you who told your Senators to vote no! Your voice matters and you should feel good that you made a difference. Obviously, the fight isn't over, but this was an important victory.

Folks who use #CSP and want to produce CMYK results, have a read! 👇🏻 Adding: CSP lets you define your preview colour profile in the File>Canvas Properties window, and that's what it will use if you choose to export a flattened CMYK file. BUT if you want to do a conversion that isn't Perceptual [1/2]

Canvas Properties pop up, with the Color profile area marked in red

It's been a couple of years since I tested converting from RGB to CMYK in apps other than Photoshop to see if we can achieve the same results. So, with most apps now updated, I figured it's time to compare results once again. Follow this thread. #ClipStudioPaint #Krita #AffinityPhoto2

this name shit would be the perfect time for obama and/or mamdani to do a hit for el-sayed. "we've heard a lot of people attacking dr el-sayed over his name. well, for eight years they called me PRESIDENT hussein obama. and i'm MAYOR mamdani. so maybe its time for SENATOR el-sayed."

Police using Flock to warrantless follow people across state lines is an act incompatible with our legal system--especially in a country where many things are legal in some states in criminalized in the other. First we saw it with abortion care, now we will see it with marijuana.

Cops Used Flock to Track a Man Across State Lines to Create Pretext to Search His Car for Weed

"The vehicle travels to Michigan frequently which is a known source state for marijuana as it is legal there," a probable cause justification reads.

"The hypothetical trans girl [...] is the perfect tool for the conservative movement. She can't fight back, can't disprove anyone's assumptions, and can't garner sympathy when she's the target of hate. The perfect trans girl is the one who only exists in the imagination of the loudest cis people."

If your winning issue is trans women in sports, and you're struggling to uncover trans women in any league that anybody has ever heard of, then how do you keep trans athletes at the top of people's minds? Answer: You invent them. defector.com/the-right-ha...

President Trump's Justice Department can't erase disabled people's right to live integrated lives in our communities, rather than being warehoused in institutions. Federal law and decades of Supreme Court precedent protect this right.

People with disabilities fear service cuts as Trump's DOJ questions legal protections

The Department of Justice in June issued a legal opinion saying states aren't required to provide services that help people with disabilities remain in their homes.
