Might be on a smaller scale, but it applies to Bluesky too. Actively deleting the accounts of genocide survivors trying to fundraise to stay alive because they're Palestinian is not some kind of minor issue. There are no ethical social media platforms, as with much digital infrastructure.

Fun fact: Draft2Digital requires you to list books with sex scenes as โ€œeroticaโ€ or they wonโ€™t publish it, and now a number of sites are not accepting erotica, even though the library, for instance, which used Overdrive, clearly includes books with sex scenes.

Good times.

Today I discovered a woman called "Angie the ICE Chaser" on TikTok and she literally just follows ICE vehicles in her car. They become increasingly erratic in their attempts to lose her (breaking sooo many laws on camera) and they never do. She is single handedly striking terror into ICE agents across LA. She also follows them through neighborhoods honking her horn and shouting "THEY ARE ICE!" out her window.
There is a GFM for gas money and the legal fees she is fully expecting to come around.

This is a great idea--citing headlines from mainstream outlets (Guardian, CBC radio) will put the fear of god in payment processors. Links

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

Visa says they're still drowning today! Payment processors think that we're not organized enough to keep this up but it's we either prove them wrong or submit to global censorship so it's. not much of a contest. Keep calling all 4!!

This is settler ignorance. Magpies followed the bison, eating the ticks and bugs off of their backs. As the buffalo were systemically exterminated, magpies moved onto cows and then eventually into urban spaces. Settlers thought they were scavengers and pests and hunted them to near collapse.

A PayPal call center supervisor said they actually completely agree with me. They said that if enough people call PayPal they would be forced to take notice. I explained the Patreon/Itch/Steam situation and they said they're a creative themselves & that they hope the situation improves.
