Spring under fascism is wild. Lately, when the sun is out and the birds are chirping and everyone seems happy, I honestly feel like i must be losing my mind. My biggest fear in life these days is not that the ground will open or the sky will fall, but business as usual.

Myanmar: Facebook’s systems promoted violence against Rohingya; Meta owes reparations – new report

its weird seeing people just waking up to how fucking horrible zuckerberg is. Literally enabled genocides in pursuit of facebook engagement. That's not an exaggeration www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

Capitalism? More like crapitalism, am I right?

Teeth in snow

my Friday the 13th started with me almost getting hit by not ONE but TWO CARS and came back to a flat tire
