I mean same same right? Canada also a genocidal apartheid police state.

Resharing to note that there’s only 11 days left in this Kickstarter and they have a long way to go, so if you’re interested, sign up soon!

“representing a vast spectrum of what it *means* to be Muslim based on our wide array of lived experiences and cultural backgrounds.”

Absolutely. What an entirely absurd thing to say.

Yes!

Hmmm, yeah. Security culture practices still need be applied with any online service. And some services are safer than others. Like better to go with the people trying to protect privacy than the ones cheerily facilitating fascism. The situation still sucks though.

I think that’s mean and comes from a similar place as the behaviour the OP is trying to name. I do think it is naive to believe any service is 100% secure, we cannot fully evade surveillance. However there are things we can do that are better and good for people for learning and trying.

It still seems to me that ProtonMail is a decent option. They operate within legal constraints that I’m not sure can be evaded. All online tools will carry risks with them, no?

I mean, I’m curious about this. ProtonMail is a company that explicitly says it operates within the Swedish legal system, which they did in this instance. They also allow people to make payments for their services through anonymous means. What did people expect this company to do in this situation?

Sorry you think people trying to figure out how to be effective while also trying to keep themselves and others safe in a rapidly changing surveillance environment is funny?

I can think of nothing more pro life than the state murder of people.

Using us to sell your journalism and then perpetuating stigma by suggesting it’s crazy or bad to hire sex workers is some bullshit lazy writing.

With all the heinous behaviour detailed in this article including sex workers as an equal evil is some nasty mean shit.

Y’all should be embarrassed.

Your headline opening with Sex Workers is presumably to titilate and act as clickbate seeing as how Sex Workers are mentioned only twice in an exhaustively long article.

Sex workers are indeed not even a subject doing the hating but are objects used as proof of how hateable this man is.

Scotiabank’s 1832 Asset Management sells last shares in Israeli military supplier Elbit Bank faced criticism for investment, including high-profile protests at the Giller Prize

Incredible victory! After years of organizing across Canada, Scotia Bank has divested from Elbit Systems!

Elbit is Israel's largest weapons company, arming the occupation and genocide of Palestine.

Okay, reply to this post and I'll write you a quick D&D character idea.

Yes, she campaigns again sex workers and at the same time named one of her comedy tours like the whore tour or something. She is terrible. Deeply deeply terrible.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

On Tuesday I made a video explaining to people why it's important that they read this book, which is a Black-ass love note to trees and the power of reckoning with history. #BookSky

This is only related in a sideways manner, but: the story of any small slice of humanity is the story of humanity, just boiled down and distilled. So:

In 2020, we had a lot of conversations about harassment at SF/F conventions, and Isaac Asimov came up several times.

A reminder, this guy came to Vancouver and filmed people on the downtown east side, spread misinformation about safe injection sites and lied about crime here.

I still believe this assisted the cancellation of the decriminalization trial - which the NDP cancelled without showing evidence.

Just wanted to update everyone: I finally had time to sit down and properly budget this out (yesterday was so hectic!) and the amount and budget has been updated to reflect this! Thanks everyone for donating and sharing! It’s wild seeing this dream come to fruition!!

Do you realize your handle is a slur?

Hi, are your Roma?

“Screenshot of a promoted Reddit post by u/AYAGDOS. The post reads: ‘Navigating gender dysphoria? Join our confidential, cross-country study of 18–25 year olds to tell your story, challenge preconceptions, and have YOUR experience reflected in the science.’ Below is a banner graphic with the Northwestern University logo and the text ‘TRANS OR GENDERQUEER? SHARE YOUR STORY.’ The image shows a close-up of a hand with light pink nail polish, partially painted blue, held up against a blurred background. A link to ayagdos.org and a ‘Learn More’ button appear at the bottom, along with Reddit vote and share icons.”

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

Hey can we try to not redeem the American colony every time we're outraged by what's going on?
