i feel like the boeing whistleblower case should radicalize more people. a major airline company is producing planes with less and less regard for safety and it's starting to get noticeable. man takes them to court, which would reduce profit at the cost of public safety. he fucking dies the night that boeings legal team asks him to stay an extra day. if nothing happens about this, i hope it gets through to people that america would literally kill you for a few extra cents

worth noting US companies do this quite commonly as well as fund terrorist organizations to protect private property. it's common with fruit companies from the US in latin america. they target activists and union leaders. chiquita has been fined before (yes, only fined) by the US government for these types of crimes.

Finnish translation:

“It’s against nature for a child to have two dads!”

“Phew! Good thing there’s three of us!”

A.I. photos are flooding social media and contributing to an Internet where we can't believe what we see. Spotting A.I. 📷s is an important media literacy skill.

None of us have time to research every image we see. We just need people to notice BEFORE THEY LIKE OR SHARE that an image might be fake. If unsure, check it or don't share.

I've started drawing some comics explaining the basic of AI spot-checking and media literacy in the age of disinformation. Follow along here or on my Twitter.

I first read “if you were lazy you would be having fun” on your blog and it has genuinely been a life-changing piece of advice for me and my friends - I’ve said it to like four of my other executive dysfunction judies and without fail it earns a ten second silence followed by a single revelatory “fuck”

My dad and I actually ran into the speech language pathologist who told me that over 20 years ago at a town hall a few months back—she is retired now, but still advocating for disabled students at IEP meetings and being a nuisance to school administrators. I thanked her for everything, and she was delighted to hear that I was passing her words along to other people who needed to hear them!

My queers, we really need to put the "no men" thing away. Men are not inherently bad. There are queer men. There are questioning men. There's men that are just plain cool. Denying these men a space at our table is not helping - except the TERFs. I just came off the back of reading a transphobe gleeful rant about the need to have pride without men - They of course mean me. This kind of stuff is damaging to me and I really need us all to take a step back and maybe kill this "men dni, men not allowed" stuff. What you mean is "no men who are going to do mean stuff to me." And frankly those men won't give a shit about that kind of boundary.

But I promise you there's a fleet of good honest men who will see that and be sad they're not allowed in your version of queer spaces.

PATRIARCHY is what you hate. Dni Patriarchs.

The TERFs have gotten ahold of this post and are doing a lot to try and dehumanize me or send me death threats because of this. Some of those blogs were children or very close to it. I can't tell you how that horrifies me to see people caught up in a hate movement that obliterates self-examination so young. Those are precious days being stolen from those people. Being trans I know what it's like to lose that time and never get it back.

However it's important to recognise that there's clearly something in this message of tolerance that they don't want to get out, and foolishly by repeatedly reblogging versions of my post, they're actually raising the profile of the original message.

I'm quite weary of getting death threats, let's show them our compassion and unity will always overcome their isolation and hatred.

Reblog this post or any version of it that doesn't have the hateful messages attatched, spread the message further. If they didn't want to be a part of getting this message to see a wider audience then they shouldn't have started fucking with me.

Please reblog and fight fascism with me today!

The measles outbreaks are getting so insanely frustrating and outrageous. It’s not just the US now. But the worst part is seeing health authorities and articles starting to adopt Covid language to describe measles. Of course it’s a logical step, but it’s just unbelievable to see something like measles talked about like it’s a normal winter illness, or to pretend that it isn’t airborne. I guess they can’t recommend airborne disease control measures for measles if they’re pretending they don’t exist for Covid. But like. What the hell.

If it’s been decades since your MMR vaccines, consider getting a titer test done to see if you still have adequate antibodies, especially if you spend time around young children. You can get a booster if your immunity has waned.

Measles is dangerous AF. If you survive it, it still literally resets your immune system. The normal thing to do is to put out public health calls for anyone who walked through the airport or the bank or the Taco Bell for a period of hours after the infectious person was been there. Not assuring parents not to worry about it. (Why am I surprised? It’s Florida.)

You should not be fucking around with Covid and you should not be fucking around with the measles.
