Among the things you learn in this video: Black hats stealing files from people's computers upload them to Google servers because there's so much traffic between your devices & Google that it's impossible to discern if some of it is malicious (well, more malicious than Google spying on you for every inch of your life).
Also, by design any computer is far better optimized for being used against you than for being used by you, the person who owns it.
China is salivating over the fact that the US has fired a bunch of their tomahawk & Patriot missiles. They know Hegseth is incompetent, predictable & trigger happy. They manipulate Trump with flattery.
They likely know when our stockpiles are running low, based on the current burn rate. If replacements are long lead times, then they can strike at Taiwan & not worry about the American response.
Trump may say it’s too far away, let the allies in the Pacific handle CHYNA.
For those too scared to be out, I get it.
Being visibly #trans is terrifying.
I grew up bullied for the slightest "girly" misstep, and became this painfully shy, chronically anxious young adult, hiding behind a beard and baggy clothes, not daring to ever let a glimpse of "me" out.
Deciding to transition meant undoing three decades' careful work making myself *in*visible.
But I have not regretted it for a second. Despite the danger. Despite the hate.
Look at my photos: the payoff has been finally being able to relax into my own being. I know now who I am, what I want from life.
I can finally say I lived.
And I've been lucky. 99% of people I meet are either chill or actively supportive. Transitioning has restored my faith in humanity.
I know that's not everyone's position; my heart goes out to those for whom it's still too dangerous.
I'm so thankful that I get to be me.
I hope with all my heart you get to be you. 💗
