Briana White - Aerith’s voice actress in the FF7 series- is currently running a huge charity auction with a bunch of Final Fantasy memorabilia. And all proceeds are donated Immigrant Defenders Law Center - helping for legal funds and reconnecting families. Take a look! tiltify.com/@thestranger...

Screenshot of the linked page, text below: Petition to the House of Commons Whereas: - Bill C-2, titled the “Strong Borders Act”, contains provisions that threaten fundamental rights and freedoms protected under Canadian and international law; - The Bill would grant law enforcement and national security agencies warrantless access to Canadians’ historical associations with organizations and businesses; - It would allow authorities to compel the disclosure of sensitive personal information, including geolocation data and contact details, based merely on suspicion of relevance to the investigation of offences under Acts of Parliament, regardless of individual involvement; - The Bill is designed to facilitate Canada's alignment with the United States' CLOUD Act and the United Nations Cybercrime Convention, raising serious concerns about foreign access to Canadians’ private data, including by regimes with poor human rights records; and - Bill C-2 undermines Canada’s obligations under international human rights instruments, particularly in relation to privacy rights and the fair treatment of migrants and refugees. We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to: 1. Immediately withdraw Bill C-2 in its entirety; 2. Reaffirm Canada’s commitment to privacy, civil liberties, and international human rights standards; 3. Reject any legislative or policy initiatives that would enable foreign states, including the United States, to gain undue access to Canadians’ personal information; and 4. Ensure that national security and border-related legislation upholds the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and is subject to meaningful judicial oversight.

🇨🇦 CANADIANS:
Sign this House of Commons petition to withdraw bill C-2!
The bill is bad, the petition is quick and easy.

Thank you, @jennykwan.bsky.social

Are you kidding me right now? This is the last thing we need. KOSA is back no thanks to Senator Blumenthal who is working with the GOP and bringing in Republican Senators to convince the House to support it.

Please, CALL GOP House leadership and tell them to keep opposing it!

KOSA is now in red alert priority.

Please contact your representatives, dem and gop alike, and demand they oppose KOSA

We need to turn out in numbers against this!

Give folks their flowers

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Don’t automatically assume that your elected officials will do the right thing because we know that half of them won’t and may try to capitulate under pressure. Call your elected officials and be a constant, unceasing pain in their ass. You elected them to work for you not the other way around.

What Happened to the University’s Commitment to Free Expression? Charley Kirk, uAlberta, and Me | Centre for Free Expression I was shocked when the University of Alberta administration informed me, one of its law professors, that I was being placed on non-disciplinary leave for my social media comments in the wake of Charli...

"Why would it bow to antidemocratic pressures by placing a professor on leave without their request, consent, or involvement? That any university would do this is beyond comprehension and is cause for alarm about the future of academic freedom in Canada."

AI-Generated “Workslop” Is Destroying Productivity Despite a surge in generative AI use across workplaces, most companies are seeing little measurable ROI. One possible reason is because AI tools are being used to produce “workslop”—content that appea...

Stanford researchers found that AI-generated "workslop" is actually making people less productive, in part because workers have to correct errors or decode the useful information/intent buried in a flood of auto-generated garbage:

This is a lovely project for kids’ handicrafts and no one ever gives to it. It’d mean income for Ibtihal (to buy food) & joy for Palestinian kids.

I’ve matched my sister, can you match one of us? Can you text a family member to match you? Can you click “monthly”?

i encourage everyone, even if you don't know what it means (i can explain it!), to subscribe to the decentralization PDS labeler, just to get a feel for atproto/bsky's increasing decentralization. it's very exciting stuff:

@pds.labeler.tny.im

Reupping this because I realized I started weighing up stuff in my mind like "what if I stopped eating more than one meal a day" and "what if I entirely stopped my medication" and that's just no way to be. Those were excessive, awful thoughts, but they're the kind of mindset this stuff gets you in.

Every time I see a transfem post a transition timeline on here it’s always this meme

The superintendent they just kidnapped is a former Olympic athlete who runs footraces with the kids from his schools while wearing a maroon suit and a bowtie. This is quite simply about the people in power feeling threatened by Black excellence.

too pissed off to write, sorry

Btw, as the Itchio noise and all died down, Adult games are technically just banned now.

Some adult games are still being sold, yes, but if you get caught or reported or whatever, all your payment options will be yanked and only a husk remains.

Zero comments from Itchio on this, nothing, at all.

HBCU's arent perfect. But the fact that Tennessee state just bumrushed these clowns off their campus instead of just "debating" their bullshit is exactly why I plan for my kids to go to an HBCU in the future.
