@aj @Gurre so I read that rich people often have poor choices in philanthropy and that's why we need to tax them instead of waiting for their generosity. It's not JUST because they don't donate as much as they would be taxed.
It's because they donate to their hobbies, like museums and concert halls or getting a building on an already wealthy university named after themselves, while what we need is support for children with learning disabilities and low cost housing.

If you are an ally, now it's the time for you to be VERY vocal about your support to trans and non-binary people.

Publicly! Loudly!

NOT FOR ME, though!

Do it for/with those who despair.

Sharing this post is encouraged.

Hey folks - for health reasons (mine, not hers!) I may need to soon re-home my amazing cat, Smalltalk! If you live in the SF Bay Area and might be interested, please ping me! She's truly a wonderful sweet creature! (She'd do best as an only pet.)

Oh ffs, guess I'm done with Spotify.

While on the family plan subscription and with no prior interest seeding, #Spotify is currently recommending a German-language far-right white nationalist podcast to my kid, who just came to me to complain about it.

So seriously, what's a good, non-enshittified alternative to Spotify these days? Recommendations needed, what do you use instead of Spotify and why?

(Thanks for retoots.)

Billionaires are a moral obscenity.

#MusicWomenWednesday My friend Kevin recommended a bunch of dreampop/shoegaze goodies that I hadn't heard yet. Currently enjoying Japan by #SlowSalvation. Very beautiful stuff...
