🛑🛑🛑IMPORTANT PLEASE READ🛑🛑🛑
THE US GOVERNMENT is currently passing a bill that literally LIMITS OUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH on the internet. A violation of our first amendment rights. No one has heard about this bc our gov. is keeping it quiet from the mass media so it can just get passed!!!
we have the right to VOTE ON IT, but we can’t do that unless everyone knows about it.
if you have a link with more info. please share & stay aware

well pride month just started here and i wanna say to my fellow white queers that we cannot switch focus entirely now and forget about the protests going on.
we need to support our black siblings with whatever they need, for as long as they need it, because they've always supported us, because we have a shared interest in opposing the cops, and because of course, it's simply the right thing to do.
we got our rights through riots, and we got our rights through the work of black queers
If you’ve already given to a Chicago bail fund and still have money left over, consider giving some to Assata’s Daughters. They are “an abolitionist organization led by Black women using a Black queer feminist lens and relationship-based tactics to organize bases of young Black people in divested-from areas of Chicago” and they’ve been doing great work for some time now. https://www.assatasdaughters.org/
asking for help to get away from an abusive living situation, boosts needed
does anyone nearby (i'm in riverside county, in southern california) have a place i could stay in the near future? like, a couch i could sleep on? not yet, but it looks like things are gonna go to shit pretty soon no matter what i do, so it'd be nice to have an escape plan ready. my parents have been incredibly abusive since i moved back in with them, especially since they found out i was trans. today they went into my backpack and took all my hormones, and that's only the tip of the iceberg of the bullshit they've put me through. at the end of next month they wanna take me to mexico and i wanna be gone before then. please help.
does anyone know what the best non-hotword speech-to-text stuff would be that runs nominally offline? it's okay if it takes a GPU or sth.
I'd also like sth that can deal with degraded (ie, channel loss) audio
I'm Luna or Dayy, either is fine for now
