frustrating that this piracy discourse is the same goddamn thing every time, has been for years, while discussion of exploitation of writers by publishers tends to remain very faint. it feels like this is a frequent steam valve for frustration, a group that can be yelled at without risking jobs.

I wrote for @theintercept.com about how prosecuting transportation of these pamphlets is a danger to all writers, journalists, and Americans.

also, if you care about disability justice, hope you’re also pro-fat liberation.
do you know how many people have gone to the doctor for troubling symptoms, been automatically dismissed and told to lose weight, and then developed late-stage/severe chronic and acute illnesses?

It also fucking sucks that so many people on the Left(s) refuse to understand anti-fatness as a system of oppression, and fat liberation as a legitimate anti-oppression movement.
It sucks, because it's all connected, and if you don't see this part, you don't have a clear understanding of the whole.

i will always recommend people use freetaxusa. site name sounds shifty, but legit i only pay like 25 bucks to file every season and it makes it so much easier. saves me a shit ton compared to turbotax, that sites a complete scam
Remember that Intuit (the owner of Turbotax) lobbied extensively to kill Direct File, which did tax filing for free and somehow managed to make a good and intuitive user experience without AI.
TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.
TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

Caviar drinks from a water bowl by scooping a little water at a time into his paw. It's so cute. I guess it saves splashing water into his snoot?

The New York Times obit for Alice Wong doesn’t mention Covid or Gaza
It ignores two of her biggest causes because of political bias
Alice fought tirelessly for Covid mitigations
She fought for the people of Gaza
She rightfully reminded us that the genocide in Gaza is a disability justice issue

Acknowledging the dead would mean acknowledging the catastrophic public health/economic/policy failure that made the body count so high in the first place
There were a few moments in that first year where we nearly got something, but that amounted to an NYT full spread of names and a CNN clicker

sometimes it will just hit me that over a million americans died from covid in a short period of time and we never had a national mourning. we never collectively grieved. we never honored the dead. this feels like a failure
