In today's "libraries are amazing" news: You want a creepy photo from the 1928 World Book Encyclopedia? Internet Archive! You want a 1921 St. Paul city ordinance? Hathi Trust! Oh, they didn't scan 1922 -- walk to the law library!

i think if you wanna talk about how brave trans people are you should pay them $100,000 dollars each tbh

The troubles

This isn't the fault of op or any one person, but FUCK I hate how often we have to say "hey differently and/or less marginalized person, here's how this injustice affects YOU" to get people to actually care about issues

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

For years now, FPE has advised runners to move away from language like this because the words you choose to use do matter! Instead of saying something like "I'm so OCD" try something like "I'm very particular about this". "Absurd" in the place of "insane" or "crazy" is also my go to.

Once you notice it, you'll always hear it. Every single mainline, the word "insane" gets deeply overused by both comms and runners. There are so so many other words to use that are just as evocative without being offensive or uncaring. I personally just started by subbing in the word "absurd".

PSA for speedfolk that are submitting to marathons, big or small:

Many marathons are moving away from words like "crazy," "insane," etc. - other ableist words like such.

This is an important fact that everyone should know: Real rednecks historically were and should be antiestablishment socialists who hate cops. This guy explains it more brilliantly than I ever could

The photo shows a Pokémon style photo with text that reads "give women your money"

Happy International Women’s Day!

no amount of propaganda should convince you that some children don’t deserve to grow up

Two things that are true

1. AI is a wide-ranging and nebulous term
2. If two people are saying "we hate AI" and you interject to say "oh so you hate cancer research?" you're being a fucking dweeb. YOU know what type of AI THEY are talking about.

This is a walk out of a high school in Memphis, my hometown, in protest of ICE agents that are here.

My heart for the current generation grew 3 sizes today.

For Ice...??

Get the fuck out.

People Are Calling Meta Ray-Bans "Pervert Glasses" On Bluesky, users quickly embraced the term "pervert glasses" to refer to Meta's Ray Ban smart glasses, following a shocking investigation.

Make it stick.

Politicians crying that they're just "protecting the children" while doing the exact opposite is nothing new, but if this becomes law it could effectively end the careers of some of you favorite queer creators (including mine!)

This is what the AVERAGE weed stoner looks like: Like if you are disgusted. Share if you are sickened.

I've only seen maybe 20% of the changes and they're RIDICULOUS, you HAVE to watch this

Some transgender people see only darkness in front and behind them.

The current climate is especially accelerating this.

Transgender people just want to love the people they love and live their lives as themselves.

I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.

Unfortunately, “Yo brother, legal team confirmed we can’t work with minors rn” is an instant classic

Hey yall, we need to raise about $4000 to save some old tapes.

Jason's an expert archivist from @archive.org and these tapes are of great value.

If you can boost, please do. If you can donate, please do.

It's so transphobic that I got an infection on my eyelid the day Pokopia came out, and now I have to wear an eye patch for a few days

god, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, the wisdom to know the difference, and the confidence of a mediocre white man

“we accidentally built a social media app with over 40 million users where you can block the mods with a single button. plz don’t do it tho or we’ll be mad 😡”
