“It’s marginalized communities whose culture is at the most risk of vanishing, very often, and it’s these communities who most often have their own practices of sharing and preserving culture.”

Internet Archive@archive.org · 3h ago

📚 The cultures most at risk of vanishing are often created and sustained by communities with the fewest resources. In WHAT WE'VE LEARNED, Alice Bridgwood reflects on everyday archives like handwritten cookbooks & zines. 🎧 Listen to Future Knowledge: futureknowledge.transistor.fm/episodes/van... 🧵

I also turned out better because I was terminally online at an early age I don’t think this is universally true but it was for me

aegisiondure 🫍@equalnotequals.com · 18h ago

this isn't very popular to say, but for me personally, it was good that i had unrestricted internet access when i was a minor. i was aware of what i was doing and enjoyed it. i don't look back on it and go "well that was a mistake", i look back on it and wish i could do it for the first time again

yeah the govt and payment processors will turn off the internet boob faucet if we don't do anything so if you like boobs yell at your regional officials

Frankly, if *anyone* has the right to speak up about this, it's porn creators, who are often both directly under the barrel of -- and made scapegoats for -- the kinds of censorship and surveillance governments want to do anyway

Saw a post saying "I don't want NSFW accounts to talk about voting, just let me jack off" Buddy, NSFW artists and sex workers are being constantly attacked by a government of nonces trying to distract from their own crimes by pinning the blame on porn. They have the right to speak up about this.

It's demoralizing living in a nonstop Abuse-a-thon: we've had to learn the sordid details of so many men's abhorrent behavior; I mean this summer has been Graham Platner, Andrew Tate, Jared Leto, Max Miller, plus the horrific L.A. rape-murder of the child by the rapper, to name a few lowlights.

Free college, free healthcare, free energy. All possible. All doable. All need to be on the table next election.

The greatest innovations can come about just from giving a **** about other people for once.

An investigative review ordered by the Bucks County DA’s Office recommended no new criminal charges for high school students or police involved in a clash during a February anti-ICE demonstration in Quakertown, but the report sharply criticized the borough’s police chief, Scott McElree.

I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.

The SCREEN Act is not just another age-verification bill — it goes much further than anything passed at the state-level or in other countries. 1. The bill doesn't just target porn sites. It goes after *any* site that allows material "harmful" to minors. You'd have to scan your face to use Google.

And it makes me even more mad because I know the vulnerability of no one helping you because the doctors don't know what to do with you. They just shrugged at me and said "lose weight" on repeat. The dark irony of GLP-1s being the cure for my inflammation and immune issues is not lost on me.

Add me to the list of people whose inflammatory issues were sent into overdrive by covid. I think there are a LOT OF US, and the more they attack covid vaccines & cautionary measures, the more folks are rolling the dice on the horrifying long covid complications that almost killed me.

Julia Métraux@juliametraux.bsky.social · 2d ago

Inflammatory disorders can be brutal. I’d know personally (thanks vasculitis et al). But the misinformation, including on vaccines, is dangerous. A deep dive from me into how MAHA sped up the inflammation panic. New from me at @motherjones.com www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
