What really warms my heart about it though, is I come through each of those posts (which are meant to demoralize me, and make me afraid) with MORE new friends, and a renewed sense that there IS good in the world. โœŠ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ

It's always a bit interesting to get notification from a friend that my info has been put up in a Facebook group, by someone trying to drum up hate towards me. It's been fascinating to watch, over time, as the people who make those posts get dragged by more and more people. 1/

I'm an OG Pebble owner. I know their benefits back then, and their limitations. I like that the software is open source, but that provides no tangible benefit to the majority of your potential customers. The watch isn't for me anymore, because my needs have evolved with the available technology.

Considering how much more functionality one gets from say CMF's smart watches (at around half the price of the Core 2 Duo), aren't these priced a bit high? At $50 and $100 these are a decent value proposition, but at the prices you've, they don't stack up to more capable, durable and stylish options

PR fluff on social media means nothing, when we can all see you're not doing anything substantive, Chuck. Walk the walk, or get out of the way and let someone with some backbone do it instead.

We cannot fix everything by fighting back, but we won't fix anything unless we try.

Without divulging anything that would compromise the codes used by altnps, can anyone recommend any good reads on generating similar codes of your own? Asking for a friend...๐Ÿ˜

Law enforcement can compel you to unlock your phone with biometrics - they cannot do the same for PINs. This precedent has been set already. Be safe, be smart.

Do not romanticize arrest as a part of obstruction and resistance efforts.

Please for you own sake read this thread before you set out on this course of action.

Do protest, do be part of these efforts. But please know whatโ€™s coming your way in the aftermath before you choose how far youโ€™ll go.

All of this!!! Please at least read this before you head out tomorrow.

Played disc golf today. This round wasn't about shooting a hot score - it was about sharing space with other queer people, in a time when we're all pretty afraid.

Fair. I didn't see them until they were sold out. Figured it was something like that, if they weren't a regular printing...

I was fired from Telfar, a fashion company beloved by and marketing to trans people, for being transgender, along with every other trans employee at that time. In this moment, one of the best things you can do to protect trans lives is to hire us.

Any chance of a new batch of "Ska against transphobia" merch soon, given the state of things?

Once again reminding a generation who thinks ska died that the scene is still in fact thriving. And in todays political climate, thereโ€™s lots of marginalized folk in the scene who got SOMETHING TO SAY ๐Ÿ˜ค๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’ฅ

SKA is anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-transphobic. Fuck you if you think otherwise.

Whenever I say "tapping the sign," this is the default.

If you're more upset that Trump is "saving" TikTok than you are about his mass deportations or transphobia, I don't think we're on the same side.

Just saying.
