*Why is so much censorship bullshit happening all at once?"

Because this is The-Push. They've been tightening the screws for years now to the point the internet is now passively more censored than daytime tv from 30 years ago, and now they're trying to do one last push to snuff out free speech

World chess just placed restrictions on both trans women and trans men The International Chess Federation will stop allowing transgender women to participate in women's tournaments. The group said changing genders has a "significant impact" on a player's status.

All you need to know about transphobes/terfs/gender critical people is that they think trans people have an unfair advantage in chess.

Loves, I could use a little help in my tatty old coin purse. If you haven't scooped it up already, I have a huge digital art book available! Please share this around and thank you so much for helping me out! πŸ₯°πŸ§‘ #ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath

Good morning, folks. The sky says trans rights are human rights.

For the overwhelming majority of people who practice it, sports is not about competition. It's about social belonging. Once you understand that, the reason why transphobes want to ban trans women from it even outside of competition and even in disciplines like darts is pretty obvious.

Didn’t we just find out the Humpbacks were all gay? They’re being petty af. Also, this picture belongs in the Lovre. The bombastic side-eye of the humpback, the shocked expression of the orca, the absolute calmness of the seal.

I love when I can see the work in a piece of art. Practical effects in film, brush strokes on canvas, strange sounds in music, "impossible" visuals in games. It puts me in conversation with the artist. That's why - ethics aside - art created with AI is just so disappointing. There's no work to see.

We Have Enough Dead Friends
BY LENA OLEANDERSON

Come over. The doors are open,
my flat's a mess and so is my heart
but the doors are always open.
Come over. I will make soup,
probably from frozen
but the important thing is
we will both eat.

You don't have to be dying,
but if you are,
or you feel like you are,
or if living's been hard,
call me, and I will show up
It doesn't have to be that bad.
it doesn't have to be bad at all,
but if it is, please call.

Do you want me to do the groceries?
Do you want me to mop the floors?
Do you need to be held;
you don't have to be dying to be held.
If you want me to be there, I want to.

I'm on the bathroom floor again,
and breathing is hard
and eating's been hard, and sleeping
the world is a laden thing
rolling around on my chest lately.
Just being alive is heavy tonight,
but we have enough dead friends.
Come over.

A photoshopped image of a Hamburger Helper box. The food has been replaced with money. The title says HAMBURGER HELPER: PROSPERITY GOSPEL. The slogan is "Hamburger only helps those who help themselves!"

I found this in my old files, I don't remember the context but it's still pretty good.

Friendly reminder, if you think you need a walking stick/cane, you needed it yesterday!! As well, you're not taking away from other disabled people. By buying from me, you're supporting my ability to expand my business and provide more options!!

BREAKING: The Trump administration is pushing an initiative for millions of Americans to upload personal health data to new apps run by private tech companies.

Hi! Epidemiologist here!
Don't do this.
In the 80s and 90s this was done by Depts. of Health during the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
"Somehow" the lists they created found their way into the hands of cops, landlords, & job sites to deny people human rights.
It's partly WHY the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act exists

Google’s AI Is Destroying Search, the Internet, and Your Brain Google’s AI Overview, which is easy to fool into stating nonsense as fact, is stopping people from finding and supporting small businesses and credible sources.

friendly reminder that you can, and should, switch your default search in all browsers/devices to duckduckgo and/or udm14 (disenshittified google, requires browser add-on)

people aren't "flocking to" these experiences--they're being forcibly opted in after decades of built-up trust. fuck that.

Someone on here said that videogames offer a fantasy of predictable rewards for one's work, which in real life might not be rewarded at all. I think about it a lot!

I have telehealth appointments every other month with my psych to discuss my mental health and med effectiveness, and sometimes there are med shortages which is very annoying, but otherwise being on meds has been really helpful and not too difficult a process

It was not difficult. Did a questionnaire and a telehealth visit with a psych (also a woman with ADHD, which probably helped) and she got me started on meds. A bit later they had me go in and take a computer test that measures focus to confirm for insurance purposes, but that was it /1
