While we’re at it can we stop shaming disabled people for buying what they need to survive?

Far too many people think we can’t ever enjoy a treat because we’re β€œuseless eaters” being supported by THEIR tax dollars.

It’s offensive & incorrect and perpetuates the idea that we’re expendable.

Chappell Roan Just Launched a Fund for Trans Youth and It's Already Raised So Much Money The lesbian pop icon has been consistently vocal on political issues.

gotta say: I don't hate this trend of pop stars garnishing their own ticket sales to redistribute money to trans rights groups and community orgs

The thing to understand about fascism is that most people you know will be bought off. Bought with promises of peace and stability, bought with business opportunities or paid with actual cash. Most people aren't going to resist. Get used to it and get used to operating in that environment.

Her stuff is all seriously high quality. I have literally never heard or read a credible complaint about her shop.

Tip if you can. She has to charge less than her stuff is worth to compete with overpriced mass-manufactured crap. And don't give her trouble about shipping, that's out of her hands.

Wrongful Death Suit Against OpenAI Now Claims Company Removed ChatGPT's Suicide Guardrails First wrongful death lawsuit against OpenAI over teen's suicide amended to allege that company deliberately weakened protections against self-harm.

A family’s lawsuit against OpenAI over their teen son’s death has taken an even darker turn, with their amended complaint alleging that the company intentionally softened protections against user self-harm in the months before his suicide, prioritizing engagement instead of safety.

Just going to follow up here with this because I’d memory holed it.

This is a serious, deep-rooted problem in the military. And past efforts to address it haven fallen woefully short.

My friend told me that her 14 year old son started doing laundry on Sundays for some of his elderly neighbors. He doesn't charge for the labor. And now he is the most popular person in the building and has non stop pies, cookies, and cake. The 14 year old should be our model of modern masculinity.

the other thing i’ll say here is i am a bit frustrated with the narrative of online radicalization that treats it as akin to brainwashing. it lets individuals, families and communities off the hook for the choices they make and the environments they foster
