I remember like a year ago, some nignog on the "black gay brunch" was using the generative "Studio Ghibli" AI to make an image and all i did was post an article showing that the creator hates it and I said how this is something that is stealing folk work.

Offhand with the locals: LA Taco is doing incredible stuff in LA even more so when you consider they're supposed to be reviewing taco stands. And Tribe in Chicago.

Also since I like to complain, here's the opposite: some national media outlets are doing great Propublica (which would be doing even better if it wasn't fighting against workers rights) and Wired and Rolling Stone have all been doing good work in hard times

New Braunfels Independent School District (TX) has just banned middle and high school students from using their school libraries. Why? So officials can go through the library and remove any books they deem inappropriate, per the state's SB 13 law.

The venue where I work is currently running a production platforming a vocal transphobe/Islamophobe. As such, as a trans person I no longer feel comfortable or frankly safe in my workplace.

I do not want to return to work until this run is over. Any donations will compensate for lost wages.

Just got a call from a lovely but very nervous Dr, who advised I wouldn't be routinely screened for breast cancer because I'm not indicated as being "biologically female" on the central NHS database and my biology wouldn't indicate I'm at risk.

My records have been altered, which is upsetting.

Shelter goal's fallen through a few times now, but I still have to deal with the time-sensitive stuff that's also hit roadblocks over and over. I don't know what to do about shelter, but I need to handle those things despite that-there are real consequences if I don't. Pls spare + share and if you can't spare: share.

There’s shit going on in my personal life, and I am fucking EXHAUSTED by it. Mad at it. Sore in places that need a long soak in hot water and a good rubdown by a massage therapist.
But tonight, we sleep.
Tomorrow, we walk again.

I just checked and this is real. It's on Border Patrol's official Instagram (I don't see it on Facebook) and is being celebrated by Nazis on Twitter, as you can see in the screenshot.

The clip is just 13 seconds long too, so it's a very intentional thing. We've got a Nazi government.

This is primarily happening to a specific demographic of moms, and that should be noted.

We need to talk about how social media algorithms push moms down a slippery slope of distrust.

From "Are my kids getting enough support in school?" To "Maybe I should homeschool." To "Maybe modern medicine is bad."

I've seen this first-hand in research I'm doing on parenting apps. 1/🧵

If your heart aches to help a child who miraculously survived annihilation and desperately needs to continue his treatment, please Hamoud is in urgent need! His mother is struggling every day, doing everything she can just to give her son a chance at health and a normal life.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Rana. Rana was studying to work in a medical laboratory before the war and her husband owned a small gift shop. Their home and shop were destroyed. They have two children Hamoud, 3 and Tota, 7. Hamoud’s eyes were injured and needs treatment.
