Ok yeah this is fascism. #Israel is a fascist state. They’re already at the stage of enjoying humiliating the untermenschen an entire year into the genocide in #Gaza. This woman is an Israeli citizen. She’s just a school teacher who does educational videos on TikTok.

OMG THIS

My ability to get folx, who’d normally dismiss me as just another “angry Black woman”, to start paying attention to the harm they’re inflicted at scale is 100% the result of how this platform used to work

I’ve been on others for years and they don’t come close

Twitter: I follow news and political giants, but all I see are bad people and arguments
Bluesky: I follow 10% of my old friends who were able to get out of twitter in time and sometimes it works
Threads: I follow my friends but I can’t see them through the algorithm of businesses
Mastodon: oh look a beekeeper in the Netherlands
Comparing and contrasting app privacy policies for Threads, Bluesky, Twitter and Mastodon:

You have to admit, regardless of your political beliefs, that a guy going to federal prison for years because when he himself was president he signed an order to increase the minimum sentence for the exact crime he committed is hands down the funniest shit that could ever happen and we are nanometers away from that once-in-a-lifetime hysterical occurrence taking place.

You have to want this to happen if you have any appreciation for comedy.

In rural Australia in the 1940s, my mother had rocks thrown at her and was branded a 'communist' because her father, a school headmaster, advocated for establishing a public library.

In the Canadian province where I now reside, the Catholic Church controlled libraries -- and thus access to information -- until the 1960s.

We forget how recent the democratisation of knowledge is -- how transformative such institutions were and how hard-won.

We should not part with them easily.

Audience, composed entirely of convicted puppy killers: *applause*

Trump: If reelected, I will kill all the puppies.

Audience, all wearing "death to puppies" tshirts: *applause intensifies*

CNN: this is unbiased journalism lol

When I was younger, I didn't know any trans people running Linux servers. They were all cis admins.
