A Recent Post Breached Containment So I Think It's Time For Some Rent Lowering:

I TRIED TO CONVERT A NON-FUNCTIONING VIDEO IN VEGAS AND IT FUCKED UP

hello! so shutitdown4palestine is doing a fundraiser this month with the middle east childrens alliance, who even now is providing life-saving, on-the-ground assistance to families in gaza. the goal is $1 million, and they are currently at $214k. ive donated $50 - please give what you can. i really think we can make it to one million this month. thank you i love you

before it gets bad I'm just gonna tell y'all certain rich people have literally only recently noticed Open Source software availability compromises the bottom line of their proprietary investments so if you see little chickadees on this website talking about the dangers of Open Source software all of a sudden it's cuz they accidentally sipped some koolaid mixed up by the far right yacht people to fuck with peoples software sovereignty and right to repair, modify, and redistribute robust codebases that become a problem when 30% of your portfolio is in, oh, say, adobe or openai.

This is your unfriendly neighborhood computer fucker telling you not to fall for it and to demand your right to digital sovereignty rather than trusting companies to make correct choices about what to do with the parts of your life they would very much like to have in the cloud to continue improving their products.

I fucking hate that the general response to RFK Jr's eugenist take on autistic people is "autistic people do pay taxes, autistic people do work, autistic people do date!"

Some autistic people don't and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life. Some autistic people do need constant help and support and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life.

Once again we're falling in the right wing trap of :

They make a hateful, fascist statement

Instead of focusing on the fact that it is hateful and fascist we try to show them that they are factually wrong

We throw our own allies and the most vulnerable of us under the bus in the process

We legitimise an only slightly less hateful, fascist view as we go

They have completed their goal of making us accept the still hateful, fascist second version, hurrah. What a victory.

Right now what we're getting to with that is that autistic people who can work and pay taxes are okay, and the others aren't. Fuck this shit.

Same thing happens with the people who are being deported ("they have a visa!", "they didn't even have a criminal record!" -> even if they didn't have a visa, even if they did have a criminal record, deporting them and detaining them in what's essentially a concentration camp wouldn't be okay, you absolute tools of fascism.)

theyre inventing the opposite of ozempic that actually makes you happy. and theyre calling it yummy foods and treats

Trans women in the UK, you are so loved. You are so, so loved. This may be a huge blow, but we'll recover, we have to. Don't give up, don't ever give up. I love you.

mohammed and his family (verified) really need a boost rn! they are struggling to cover basics for 27 people, including mohammed's sister, who is pregnant and hasn't been able to get medical attention that she needs. you can read more of their story & donate on their chuffed page.
