re: fedi, minors 

@cmdr_nova I also have experience as a minor on the internet. As a severe CSA survivor, i can tell you the internet saved my life. My abusers hated that I had access. The access to support was something I didn't have anywhere else. It made me realize that it wasn't normal and there was a whole world out there. So even if you had a not great experience, telling minors to never engage with the internet is maybe not the best.

@hadley I feel like the biggest threat to kids safety and well being is their parents, so I really hate that virtually all of these online child safety bills are just making kids more vulnerable to that. If we want to protect kids, we should educate them about grooming, make sure online spaces have decent moderation, and make sure there are good support systems in place that are easy to access.

This is probably a pretty lukewarm take at this point, but those social media bans for teens, like the one that was just introduced in Australia?

It's a trans panic.

They can try to dress it up however they like, pull in other, legitimate problems for which a ban isn't the solution either so they get more support for it, but at its core that's what it is.

OH MY GAWD OUR GIRLS SOCIAL MEDIA IS MAKING THEM UNHAPPY THEY MIGHT STOP BEING GIRLS ALTOGETHER.

Trans panic.

Me and lithium in a weird kinda love affair, she makes my heart race at first, but keeps me calm the longer he's around, I do everything I can to consume them.

you can draw a direct line from eugenicists still worshipped today like pearson and fisher through nazi scientists to the uncle who works at degussa

educated white people say shit with such sinister implications off the cuff, it has me ducking for cover

@jackie yeah it does, I have a lot of dark hair, I've tried shaving before didn't like it. I love my body hair and the queer community used too feel like a place for me but its feeling more exclusionary as of late.

It's mildly annoying that I can't easily plug two computers into each other and transfer files from one to the other :/

Individualism, egoism, and Nietzschean nihilism, are trash. Go in the fuck you corner with the ancaps

Small fungus-farming ants, Mycetosoritis hartmanni, in their subterranean garden. The fungus- a white stringy material- grows between the bits of debris fed to it by the ants. The ants then feed from the fungus- a true agricultural system. Texas. #ants #insects

Don’t let anyone convince you that a world where every single person has what we need to live well and to thrive isn’t possible.
