Pay Quiara Hazlewood using PayPal.Me Go to paypal.me/Quiara and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

I still need to raise about $100 for books by Monday. I haven’t been asking because it’s embarrassing. But if you can help me grab my college texts, I’d appreciate it so much.

YouTube video by Taylor Lorenz Age Verification Will Kill Free Speech Online

I did an hour long beginner’s breakdown on why age verification is extremely dangerous, bad, and leading to mass censorship, with tech policy expert @ericgoldman.bsky.social. What’s happening in the UK can and will happen here if we don’t fight it!

The issue with AI altering old movies that really sticks in my craw (beyond the obvious) is people chirping that they are just doing what the original filmmaker/creatives would have wanted.

I hate hate hate people digging up the corpse of a beloved artist and playing TCM Weekend at Bernies

Genuinely surreal watching public figures who enabled the genocide in Gaza suddenly go “oh wow this seems bad, someone should do something about this” after a year and a half.

I’ve been unable to work since May 10th, due to Covid, & it’s lingering fatigue. I’m getting super low on funds & really need help. I know that many of us are having a rough go, but if any of y’all could spare anything, me & my cats would be so grateful.

It was never true that wE dOn'T hAvE eNoUgH mOnEy to pay teachers more. It was always intentional. Education has been INTENTIONALLY defunded for decades because an educated populous is a threat to power. Read the books. Do the work. They are TERRIFIED of education.

Btw, even when the scary article ends up being true, and woof, too many of them have been, sometimes I find this actually helps calm my nervous system down a little. Because you have to take a breath, read, and think more.

They erased my trans fam and then they erased me. They've now scrubbed the B from Stonewall.

Really important video that anyone calling themself leftist or progressive should watch. If you’re calling for disabled people to be killed or celebrating knowingly killing/maiming disabled people you are not progressive, you are a fascist.

Disabled people do not owe their oppressors “kindness”

I don't mean to sound hysterical but there are some pretty clear historical examples of "force the urban-dwellers to the farms," and none of them are great.

The US wants a wearable for all. Experts say it won’t fix the health crisis The Secretary of Health Services wants every American to use a wearable device in the next four years. Experts say it's a great move, but not a cure-all.

They are eugenicists who believe if you get sick it’s your fault, and wearables will provide them with “data” for the conclusion they’ve already reached. That’s it.

Because they’re being continually reinfected with COVID. It’s not rocket science. This would be more obvious if not for the overwhelming denial in society—as well as minimizing propaganda and potentially, cognitive damage from infections, which may make it more difficult to accurately assess risk.

And then the people trying breathlessly explain why they dont mask or take protocols anymore all the while trying to tout community care and mutual aid as a personality.

I knew we were cooked as a society when everyone just sorta decided they were sick of dealing with Covid and everyone just decided to pretend like it wasn't a thing anymore.
