If taking things too seriously is a job, then I’m a workaholic. And perhaps a self centered person, too — because if I don’t take things seriously, I tend to think the world will become an even worse place.

Deepfake Porn Scandal: Thousands Protest Digital Sexual Violence in Berlin
Thousands attended a rally in front of Brandenburg Gate to demonstrate against the "virtual rape" of German media personality Collien Fernandes.https://www.heistberlin.com/news/protest-digital-sexual-violence-collien-fernandes/
My lawyer told me I looked like a homeless person (backpack + documents) minutes before my court hearing. When I complained, his response: "I'll be more careful with my jokes next time." A perfect example of non-apology:

Faşizm ayartıcıdır | Şahap Eraslan | Artı Gerçek
"Ayrıcalığın geri çekilmesidir. Ve ayrıcalığın geri çekilmesi, onu elinde tutan için her zaman rahatsız edicidir. Bu rahatsızlıkla baş edemeyenler, eşitliği bile hiyerarşi içinde kurmaya çalışır: veren ve alan, hoş gören ve hoş görülen, merkez ve kenar."

"It’s official – Reform UK think discrimination should be legal. Scrapping the Equality Act would be a sledgehammer to hard-won rights working people fought for over generations.
“If you’re discriminated against because you’re a woman, black, disabled, pregnant or gay – that’s fine with them. This is a blank cheque for bad employers to mistreat their staff. And it wouldn’t stop there. Scrapping the Equality Act would just be the start.
“From ripping up equality protections, to backing fire-and-rehire, to opposing a ban on zero-hours contracts, Reform UK have made it clear whose side they’re on – and it’s not working people.”

Substack hosts swastika-laden Nazi accounts promoting white supremacism (https://www.theguardian.com/media/2026/feb/07/revealed-how-substack-makes-money-from-hosting-nazi-newsletters). If you're currently using Substack, you might want to switch to a more ethical alternative like Ghost.
Ghost is a Fediverse-compatible blog and newsletter platform, it runs on free open software and you can host it yourself or use a paid hosting service. More info:

Some suggestions for fighting bigotry on the Fediverse:
- Challenge and report bigotry even if you're not the target, don't leave it to victims
- Listen to victims, don't question their honesty or demand a solution from them
- Don't remain neutral, take a stand
- If you're an admin, defederate servers that knowingly tolerate bigotry
- If you're comfortable using Microsoft Github, give thumbs up for reply controls (https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/14762) & keyword flagging (https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/21306) on Mastodon
