On this May Day, let us remember that it wasn’t the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.

EFF calls on cybersecurity community to stand up. Great piece by @evacide

We can’t talk about defending democracy by being silent. Being silent is defending authoritarian control.

At every school I went to, I was the fattest kid.

Imagine my chortling when I hear transphobes claim that sport is about fairness.

SPORT? PE? You mean the ritual humiliation of the fat and different? The celebration of spurious GENETIC ADVANTAGE?

If your criticism of "big tech" is merely a result of the unhappiness about the fact that Meta, Google and Microsoft aren't EU-corporations you are missing the point.
