Square. Circle. Triangle. (Lin Yung Cheng)

Taiwanese photographer Yung Cheng Lin aka 3cm investigates the concept of femininity in a critical and provocative way.

"The freedom to enjoy your body and feel good for what you are or have is still a mirage that somehow steals the female identity to instead offer a false promise of respect and love. In this series of images, the body draws incomplete or imperfect geometries as if it were forcing itself to respect rules that do not characterize it."

“A Dutch court has ordered X and its AI chatbot Grok to immediately stop generating non-consensual sexualized imagery and child pornographic material in the Netherlands, imposing a penalty of €100,000 per day on each defendant for non-compliance.”

Good.

(While unfortunate, this needs to happen. Everyone should move their meet-ups away from the US for now) #uspol

I’m not trans. As far as I know, my kids aren’t at the moment. Nobody in my family is. None of my good friends are. I don’t prescribe medication for gender affirming care. I don’t specifically treat folks for gender dysphoria. So why do I give a fuck?

You don’t punch down. There’s no transgender machine producing trans judiciary and trans politicians and trans PACs to come for my cisgender. There are trans folks being discriminated against, outed, beaten, jailed, and killed. I hate bullies.

Great news in the fight against Big Tech bullies!

You did it! 🥳

European Parliament just decided that Chat Control 1.0 must stop.

This means on April 6, 2026, Gmail, LinkedIn, Microsoft and other Big Techs must stop scanning your private messages in the EU. #PrivacyWins 💪

If you’re tired of feeling like there’s nothing that you can do to help make the world a better place besides voting, I’m here to tell you that there is…

Volunteer.

Food banks, soup kitchens, senior centers, blood banks, animal shelters, and more. Find a place where you can be in the service of others. Where you can give back to the community that you live in.

It’s a great way to get out of your own head. Serve others, and serve the better parts of yourself in return
