every day i wish twst was not a gacha game

just a heads up, that article going around about the FDA and a 'registry of trans women' comes from The Needle 'News', who have a track record of sensationalist and inflammatory reporting, take anything they say with a grain of salt until someone else backs it up

Huh!

Reminder that the only time Mastercard has flinched is when outrage was directed at them. Attacking platforms like SubscribeStar for Visa/Mastercard's extralegal censorship is exactly the deflection they want.

This is highly important for Americans. The Fed is highly independent and has teeth. This isn't just about art, either, but speech in general. Please comment if you can, and leave your information on your comment if you're willing. They are likely to listen if enough public support shows itself.

Please use every We The People cell in your body for this

reminder: for covid, you won't show pos for 36-48hrs after exposure.

if your flight's friday morning, testing = inaccurate anytime before saturday night (unless you're feeling sick sooner)

also why it's responsible to stay at home for a few days after events so tests+no symptoms can be verified.

I know calling reps is very nerve racking. You're not sure what's the right thing to say, and tbh having a script thrown at me makes things just as nerve racking.

I called today, and I figured I'd write up a transcript of how my call went down. Hopefully it helps demystify the process

Trader Joe's recalls over 36 million pounds of product after glass found in rice Ready-to-eat and frozen chicken and pork fried rice, ramen and shu mai dumpling products are being pulled from shelves nationwide.

Ajinomoto Foods N.A. is recalling additional 33 million pounds of frozen ready-to-eat and not-ready-to-eat chicken and pork fried rice, ramen, and shumai dumpling products.

Dates for TJ's chicken fried rice, vegetable fried rice, Japanese-style fried rice, and chicken shu mai in the link. #recall

These bills are really fucking bad. Even if you are in a blue state you should contact your reps. Tell everyone. This shit cannot pass.

You hated Discord attempting ID verification? Gonna get a whole lot worse if these pass.

Demanding people provide irl id and age verification is only step one for pieces of shit like Marsha blackburn. Once they have that in pocket they’ll make LGBTQ stuff 18+ only. And that’ll effectively make it illegal to be an LGBtQ kid on the internet.

KIDS Act Passes Energy and Commerce along Partisan Lines, COPPA 2.0 Postponed Additional bills on kids online safety and cybersecurity passed with bipartisan support

The package of censorship and surveillance bills brought up in todays markup has been advanced

Continue to contact your representatives and demand this legislation be opposed. Tell your family and friends, explain how these bills are not what they appear, and ask them to join us in opposition!

i am so full of anxiety i feel like im drowning in it and i dont know how to make it better bc nothing seems to help

Youtube channels also now apparently self-censor the words “drugs”, “assault”, “fascism” and “crippling” in serious documentaries, discussion or video essays.

Remember, no talking about ungood things! No mentioning ungood things out loud! The advertisers might be unhappy!

Hi hello just QRPing some info abt this coming in from the other site. This news is fake, it was a hallucination.

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

WARNING FOR ALL FOLLOWING:

Bsky seems to be rolling out age verification for accounts, but it is not fully implemented and you may be locked out of your account, as you cannot put in your birth date. (I.e. it's broken.)

This is happening internationally and apparently at random.

mental health is in the trenches

Texas AG Paxton Declares Therapists Affirming Trans Youth To Be Illegal And Child Abuse The declaration echoes his 2022 efforts to target parents of trans youth with child abuse, and may force conversion therapy on trans youth in the state.

1. This morning, Texas AG Ken Paxton just released a chilling new declaration:

Mental health therapists, counselors, and psychologists must cease affirming trans youth - using their name and pronouns - or potentially face child abuse charges and loss of licensure.

Its a horrifying escalation.

For ppl who aren't aware:
Old temperate forests are insanely rare nowadays and extremely important ecosystems lost forever once cut.
They're not just "old trees" but intricate networks of trees, fungi and all kinds of living creatures.
You CANNOT replant this!! Once it's gone it's lost FOREVER!!!

just became aware of this--the regime wants to clear-cut massive chunks of Oregon's old growth forests in the name of timber production.

you have until March 23rd to comment.

i know we have endless fucking things to scream at politicians about--this is an important one too.

Twitter posts from me on January 31, 2023, replying to a now-deleted post about Brio initially experimenting with map loading: I think you're missing the point that SE is not going to enjoy it when people start taking screenshots in GM jail, unreleased content, faking WF by loading into the zone. This tool in the wrong hands might just be the last straw for SE to kill our decade of work - please be wise it's a good thing you are putting these safety checks in here but anyone can just mod them out or take the hooks you're using. You PR'd festivals to ClientStructs and now you're one method away from being able to float in the air on a building. You're playing with fire here

my two cents on the recent FFXIV modding discourse: three years ago I said we were flying too close to the sun building something like this, and it's still true!

The talk to your friends app and the witness the horrors app being the same app is not great for the mental health is it

Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!
