"Anti-LGBTQ hate thrives online, spurs fears of more violence" (https://apnews.com/article/technology-shootings-business-social-media-colorado-75a3c597a60dca0f116d5deb6a6c1a6b)

It is definitely troubling to watch increased violence at Queer venues, and especially the increased targeting of Trans individuals.

People must be vocal about this. We also have to make efforts to not be intimidated. We must embrace what makes us Queer precisely because of those who want us to hide.

Anti-LGBTQ hate thrives online, spurs fears of more violence

In the days after a gunman killed five people at a gay nightclub in Colorado last month, much of social media lit up with the now familiar expressions of grief, mourning and disbelief.

Inspired by this, I asked DALL-E 2 for an early 2000s magazine photo of John Mastodon, founder of the Mastodon social network.

Attached: 2 images I put "John Mastodon, CEO of Mastodon" into DALL-E 2 and this is what it spat out. The second photo is him founding the company in the late 1990s in his college dorm room. #JohnMastodon

If only there was some sort of seasonally appropriate story about the ills of one man having too much money and being awful to everyone.

Maybe if we start calling our body parts gun-sounding names like “revulva” or “shooterus” the GOP will stop trying to regulate them.

The week before Thanksgiving Twitter fires 4K workers, Amazon fires 10K workers, Facebook fires 11K workers, and Disney plans thousands of layoffs—all while US Billionaire pandemic wealth increased an absurd $1.7T.😳

A reminder that billionaires don’t create jobs—they exploit workers.

Tax billionaires. Unionize workers.

Much like Jewish people, Roma have been the target of hate crimes & discrimination for centuries, both being victims of the Nazis during the Holocaust. To this day, Roma face forced sterilization, segregation, discrimination, & police brutality from government entities worldwide.

The word “G*psy” that Nolte plasters throughout his /many/ course fliers is an exonym and a slur that refers to the #Romani people, but is also sometimes used to refer to another community of nomadic people from Ireland called #Travelers. #romani #lawenforcement

"J.R.R. Tolkien has become a sort of mountain, appearing in all subsequent fantasy in the way that Mt. Fuji appears so often in Japanese prints. Sometimes it’s big and up close. Sometimes it’s a shape on the horizon. Sometimes it’s not there at all, which means that the artist either has made a deliberate decision against the mountain, which is interesting in itself, or is in fact standing on Mt. Fuji." - Terry Pratchett
