Today's reminder that the current genAI boom is powered by GPUs manufactured with a mineral called coltan (and other rare earths, and cobalt) mined through the labor of enslaved children in Congo, and the US and UAE fund the paramilitaries which protect those mines and keep those children enslaved.

It has been fascinating teaching the history of Association Football to see how women were first discouraged from participation and then starting in the 1920s flat out banned based on completely made-up theories that soccer would make them infertile.
That rock skipping, yes tossing stones across a pond or river, is a gender segregated sport, should tell you something about how gendered sports are not about fairness of physical ability, and is instead about the male ego

This is the goal of bathroom bills: to drive trans people from public life so we can be exploited and exterminated in the shadows
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Trans art and also sexuality seems to be in a prolonged period of reflection on the nature of subjugation and navigating and even sexualizing that struggle and that is well and good but also I would like to ask that we also think about what being free would look like

As much as I love buff badass lesbian Samus, I also really love the version of her from that one Super Metroid gag manga where she's this weirdo obsessed with round objects and hiding in small spaces

One of the great formal failings of bluesky is that you can't reblog something more than once without un-reblogging your earlier instance
I should be able to put this on my timeline five times if I wanna

shut the fuck up Friday applies to DIY every day
the psycho terf groups are starting to have their eyes drift towards diy hrt resources again - so it's a good time to remember that under no circumstances in no world whatsoever for the rest of time should you talk to journalists, especially regarding anything related to diy hormones.

I'm so utterly himejoshi that after watching Lower Decks all I want is T'lyn and Mariner to do the married vulcan finger touch thing despite them barely having any time together in the show

Except that Germany (among other European societies) has robust social welfare and other state benefits and that still hasn't stopped the AfD's rise, because the AfD's rise is mainly about immigration (and therefore identity).
FDR knew that you push to the LEFT and give people real, material benefits if you want to neutralize a rising fascist threat. Sadly, contemp centrists in the US and Europe have not learned this lesson.
"Merz has made the mistake of trying to push what was a popular centre-right party under Angela Merkel much further to the right in an attempt to win over disgruntled voters." This never works. And seemingly politicians never learn.

You know who we need most when companies overreach and desperately need reminding of their place? People who are already spending their cash on said company.
