really tired of conversations about how we need to get people to spend more time offline that don't acknowledge that one of the reasons people ARE online is their access needs aren't being met in physical spaces. This is especially true for queer people and disabled people.

by age 26 you should have:
• an unhealthy attachment to a fictional character
• weird relationship with the media you loved as a teenager

It’s funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim “adult illustrations” is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They don’t have an answer.

In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)

There’s a lot I’m worried about with the paramount/WB merger esp given paramount’s new role as a trump lap dog but I really want to emphasize concern for how WB’s catalog will be affected and how important film and tv archives are in preserving these pieces they will likely discard

Amazon just told you to pay for a P.O. box if you don't want to be stalked.

she's an Indian woman who has no experience in the gaming industry AND was working heavily in AI before she got the job. she was not put in that place because she does good work, she's there because Microsoft wantd to can XBOX and she's the one everyone can blame when it finally goes belly up

right like. i need people to start emphasizing medical equipment being part of this

Yeah, ppl think of this as a gaming issue but really we are at risk of losing access to computing altogether, so that it's all exclusively in the hands of the oligarchy.
