@MelissaBearTrix I’ve frequently been surprised at the people who I have written off previously as being 100% wing-nut anti-corporation ‘conspiracy theory adjacent’ who then asked me why I wasn’t on FaceBook or Instagram; was it because I am anti-social?

If only they could see their own contradiction.

Frida Kahlo. Still Life, Round, 1942.

This is my favorite among all her many wonderful works. It was originally painted for the Mexican presidential residence but was rejected for obvious reasons. The longer you stare, the deeper she goes with sexual suggestion. She also designed the round wooden vulvic frame.

Recording ICE doing their official duties at an airport is a protected activity under the First Amendment because the airport is a public location, EFF’s Saira Hussain told HuffPost.

@aral The laws being proposed and passed requiring providing age brackets to apps and websites are a horrific invasion of privacy for minors putting their safety at risk. It not only enables targeting minors in harmful ways particularly for the lowest age brackets but also leaks their birth date to apps and websites on the day they move into the next age bracket. One of the biggest lobbyists for these OS level age verification laws is Meta which just lost a court case for exploiting minors.

Cis people reading this, if you intend to watch the new HP series when it comes out, here’s two pieces of advice that you're not allowed to ignore:

• Have the decency to keep it and your reactions to yourself. This trans people-killing piece of media doesn't need any of your free publicity.

• Pirate the shit out of it.

Media coverage aside, looks like this Christmas is gonna suck for trans people who will have to deal — on top of everything — with their entire social circles of cis people gasping and gushing over the new Harry Potter series that's actively funding the policies that are torturing and killing them.

Una sentenza in #California ha riconosciuto che funzionalità come autoplay, scroll infinito e raccomandazioni personalizzate di #YouTube (insieme a Instagram tramite #Meta) hanno contribuito a depressione, ansia e comportamenti autolesivi una minorenne decretando il risarcimento di circa 3 milioni di dollari.

Ora… noi del #Fediverso lo sappiamo già, ma permettetemi di dire: siamo ancora troppi pochi.

La nostra battaglia contro questi colossi non deve mai perdere intensità...mai…

I've been critical of the way the @verge has been covering the development of HBO's upcoming Harry Potter reboot. But it looks like it wasn't in vain.

If you're going to cover it, *this* is how the series should be described every time it's mentioned.
