Reminder for fellow ADHD people who have a hard time not doing things at the last minute. 😩 This affects voting by mail but also beware of anything else time sensitive that you have to mail.

Also, do not stop calling your lawmakers to protect #Section230. Call them everyday, because many LGBTQ+ youths need the internet to survive this cruel world that views their existence as undesirable. Repealing it is part of Project 2025.

here we go folks lets be loud about this bullshit!

Text on Twitch's website saying "Verify Your Identity" "Submit proof of identity and location to receive your payout" "In order to receive your payout, you need to verify your identity through Persona, Twitch's identity verification service. You will have 3 tries. Please be ready to provide both of the following: 1. A picture of your government-issued identification card, such as an identity card, passport or driver's license. 2. A "selfie" (i.e., a picture of your face), taken using a webcam or phone camera. By clicking "Start Verification" below, you understand that you will be leaving Twitch and will be redirected to Persona's service, and further understand and acknowledge that Twitch may send Persona limited personal information about you to facilitate the identity verification process, in accordance with Twitch's Privacy Notice. Information you provide to Persona will not be used for any purposes other than to verify your identity and will not be stored for longer than necessary to fulfill this purpose. Need Help? See our detailed onboarding guide." "Start Verification"

Twitch is requiring new Affiliates, before their first payment, to give government photo ID and a separate photo to Persona, the same Persona that has connections to government mass surveillance programs. When I asked Twitch support for another option, they said there isn't one. #twitch #persona 1/4

The best time to boycott Epic Games and fortnite was when they first were caught using GenAI, which was before the harry potter shit (which was the second best time to boycott them). If you haven't boycotted them by now, what the fuck are you doing?

Happy Birthday! Hope you've had a good one! 💜

Happy Valentine's day my loves!!!

The image is a meme with three panels, using a scene from a movie to humorously convey a conversation about prosecuting people associated with the Epstein files. 1. Top Panel: Shows two characters, with the left one facing the camera and the right one seen from behind. The text reads: "prosecute everyone in the Epstein files." 2. Middle Panel: Features a close-up of the right character facing the camera. The text states: "if we prosecute everyone in the Epstein files, the whole system will collapse." 3. Bottom Panel: The left character is in focus, looking at the right character, with the text: "I already said prosecute everyone in the Epstein files, you don't need to sell it to me."

if i know discord for anything is that they can and will pussy out if people bully them enough for something. get fucking loud about this

I did try giving people a heads up on the local Reddit, but the filters removed it so that may explain the lack of knowledge/coverage in the area.

Support Patient Care and Staff Safety during Law Enforcement Visits Immediately notify: Facility Leadership Essentia's Legal Counsel Essentia Security if needed DO NOT give permission or consent to enter nonpublic areas. DO NOT engage in physical or verbal altercations with the agents. DO NOT interfere with the agents or otherwise resist. Protect Patient Privacy and Records: Do not disclose a patient's immigration status Keep patient records out of view DO NOT record Video Stay calm and professional. What to say to a government agent wanting to enter a nonpublic area: "I can't give you permission to enter without a warrant. You must speak with our designated representative."

We have a policy flyer that was emailed to us with the protocols and I've made copies for all depts. This is the Essentia policy for staff members that we were recently given for these situations BTW. My dept is locked and my fellow coworker and I will NOT be opening that door w/out valid warrants.

I don't know if this will reach anyone who needs to know, but Duluthians, #ICE is in the area. I'm an employee at one of the clinics in the city as I do work in Minnesota, and can confirm they have been on campus looking for people, they're just being "quieter" about it up here. Stay Safe everyone.

Yeah I put a report in to security. The camera back here is directly behind my coworker's desk so I'm hoping we can see who it was.

It looks like they also took all of the rainbow and butterfly pop-its and the pride wristlet lanyards too... They literally took over $100 in items that I GOT for patients, the clinic didn't pay for them. You're selfish, greedy, and not a good person. Please never come back.

To the scumbag who took EVERY Ally and Mental Health sticker from Essentia Family Medicine: I pay for those myself to give patients a small reason to smile, and you robbed that from HUNDREDS of patients as I can't afford to replace them now as that WAS my new stock. Have the day you deserve.

"Five Nights at Freddy's" creator defends donations to top Republicans A Twitter user posted screenshots of his donations to Republicans including Trump and McConnell.

If you're saying "Fuck JK Rowling" and "stop keeping Harry Potter culturally relevant through fandom or funding" then you should drop FNAF too. Scott Cawthon is a Christian Conservative who uses his wealth to donate to republicans, including Trump and Mitch McConnell.

If curious about my situation since I live in Caracas and stuff, well let be know that I'm all fine🙏
Got to hear the bombing/attacks past night, people are shaken up but that's about it.
Unsure if the worst has yet to come now after what happened, but we will see. Be all well! 💜

Screenshot of a post by Acyn on X quoting CNN breaking news reporting explosions in Caracas, Venezuela, including power outages and early morning timing. Below the text is a CNN broadcast still showing a male news anchor wearing a suit and tie, speaking directly to the camera. A red “Breaking News” banner reads “Reports of explosions in Venezuela’s capital,” with CNN branding visible on the screen.

The United States can only begin war with another country through a declaration of Congress. The President’s actions are unjustified and unconstitutional. Military attacks upon Venezuela and the loss of life and property must end immediately.

Drink some water.
Go for a walk.
Put your phone down.
No amount of doom scrolling is going to make things better.

If you want to do something, make a plan to protest and call your representatives. Dont run your nervous system ragged on socials rn

what the shit? just like that, we’re at war with Venezuela? WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO PEACE ON EARTH? spoiler alert — none of what the fucking idiot just perpetrated in Venezuela was legal. none. of. it. it’s a war for oil, is what it is — and every military expert knows that it’s going to be a fucking disaster.

A LOT OF STUPID SHIT HAPPENED THIS WEEK BUT NONE OF IT WAS MORE FUCKTACULARLY BONEHEADED THAN DONNY'S ILLEGAL VENEZUELAN ESCAPADE. I COVER ALL THAT AND MORE IN MY "THIS WEEK IN STUPID," A WRAP-UP LIKE NO ONE'S EVER SEEN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. LINK IS HERE: bit.ly/3Lic28w

This thread is keeping track of misinformation circulating about the US' attack on Venezuela. A must read!

Tips: moving from Xitter to Bsky Before you start following people, fill out your profile! Bio, PFP, banner, and post at least 5 to 10 things. Just reuse your top 10 banger tweets—recycling is encouraged! This way, people will know you aren’t a bot, will see what you are about, and might follow back. Turn off NSFW filters in Settings > Moderation > Enable Adult Contentand at the bottom on Settings > Moderation > Bluesky Mod Service Find your friends from the hellsite using Sky-Follower-Bridge.devNot perfect, but it will find the majority of the people you were following.Beware of fake tools that ask for money! Follow a few feeds related to your interests. In bsky you choose what kind of content you want to see. You can pin feeds (into tabs) to the top of your timeline, and you always have access to the Following feed which shows nothing but who you choose to follow. Block often. Don’t interact with trolls. Don’t quote dunk, comment, nothing. Let them rot in silence, take away their oxygen and they’ll asphixiate. This is the Bsky way. Turn off language filters in Settings > Languages > Content Languages Or you won’t see posts from anyone in Japan, Germany, etc, in your feeds, even if they only post a cool image with no text. Weird, but trust me on this one. Uncheck all to see all posts. Fuck content scrapers. Do not let that trash overwhelm this site, do not share their stolen content. You can block them all with two clicks by going to joabaldwin.com/scrapers and on the top-right clicking on Subscribe > Block Accounts (I know, “Subscribe” is an odd thing to name it, but that’s how block lists work). Use alt text to make images accessible. Helps for translations, readability, findability, and users with slow internet. Turn on Settings > Accessibility > Require alt text before posting It takes time to rebuild, but the best time to do it is right now. Use your last tweets to tell everyone to move, then stop posting. Twitter is a Nazi/AI/bot/crypto cesspit.
