After revelations that companies like Ring have been selling home security footage to ICE, the most common defense of keeping a camera up seems to be, βBut what if Iβm stalked?β
And as a violence researcher, Iβm just here to state for the record that police do not care about your security footage.
In 1983, Ruth Schwartz Cowan published a book called More Work for Mother where she argued that modern household tech (washing machines/vacuums) didn't reduce women's housework time, it just raised standards of domesticity. Household work is never shortened by tech & you can extrapolate that out.
also if you truly think that machines ended farm labor then quick question, why does the United Farm Workers organization exist?
sharon take: gender is part of the reason decarbonization is so hard
i hope the farming discourse ends soon because a lot of people i otherwise like and respect on here are wading into a nuanced discussion with sledgehammers

@JDfromscrubslol Had a dream there was an emoji like π― except it was only 60. Some post said "popeyes fries be tasting so good (60)" and I laughed so hard I woke myself up
Thinking about the 60 emoji again

On March 8, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations.

Six male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear UNCLASSIFIED
Weβre still murdering people in βdrug boatsβ even as we start a new war in Iran. Six people today.
They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175
Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game

Thing that really gets my goat is the way people are eager to fund this bullshit but you need eleven layers of analysis and a ton of collateral if you want to open a small grocery store in a food desert.
They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more.
They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.
We donβt talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.

Of the three seasons during which I guide tours in Churchill, #aurora season is by far of the most stressful, because we have no control over what people are coming up to see. Tonightβs show was a big relief and a huge excitement for my guests. Now I can sleep. π
my most pollyanna trait is that i love things like the olympics and the world baseball classic bc they show how much more we all have in common
It doesnβt matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. Itβll never cease to amaze me that people donβt care that itβs happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.
