"Why is the world [western governments] all of a sudden trying to control us with mass surveillance?"

It's not all of a sudden. They've been trying to do this for years.

And people have been fighting it, for years. People have also been warning you, for years.

You were warned that Net Neutrality was super important. You were warned that COPPA and KOSA weren't what lawmakers said they were. People tried to tell you that banning apps would set dangerous precedent for the internet, and that they'd be coming for your VPNS. People tried to tell you that big tech companies trying to block ad-blockers and selling your data were bad things. People even tried to tell you that it was weird for supermarkets to be collecting mass amounts of data from your purchases to advertise to you, and that it was super weird for places like Walmart to need facial recognition cameras on top of that. You just didn't listen.

And you didn't push back.

And now we're here.

That said, boycott any site that wants you to upload your ID- for the love of the gods don't give them that shit it WILL get hacked/sold- and make some noise about this bullshit. We need to make it clear that we won't just lay down and take this.

God Bless people who dress wild and go out in public. I love seeing a woman in all pink with pink hair and pink nails, with a tiny dog in a pink outfit in her bag. Or a massively goth dude covered in piercings sporting a giant green mohawk. Cosplayers. SCA reenactors. Ren Faire people. There’s nothing I love more than a pair of handsome young men walking around in Revolutionary War outfits. Just please keep dressing wild and freaky. You bring color to life, and it never fails to put a big smile on my face.

earlier today i told an acquaintance in passing that i'll often be in the middle of a novel and think "man i wish this shit were more ambiguous" and had to reiterate twice that i wasn't being sarcastic before they believed me, so this post is to say: i love when writers don't bother to explain everything, i love when stories end uncertain and unsettling, i love being required to think as a reader, i love when stuff makes no damn sense, no i'm not kidding

i think the reason "fiction affects reality" trips so many people up is because they think it means "engaging with media that depicts uncomfortable subjects will taint your soul" when really all it means is that "fiction is meant to reflect certain ideas of the world intentionally or not, and it's going affect your perception of it, if you don't go in with a healthy bit of skepticism"

We need to do what we can to protect the Internet Archive. Here is a petition that you can sign.

This petition alone might not be enough, but everything we can throw at this counts.

As a matter of personal morality and beliefs I do not wish death or pain upon anyone and do not celebrate death but there’s a certain someone that keeps on pushing my limits about that and he’s not dead. And I think you know who it is. I think everyone knows who it is.

I just want us all to be safe. Would his death cause that? I don’t know. I really don’t. Because his philosophy seems baked into his party at this point. I also don’t know what his successor will do if he does die in office. That guy kind of seems like a puppet and there’s a lot of people pulling on his strings.

I’m just talking about my personal feelings here. You can feel however you want but certain recent stupid speculation on the matter has me thinking about it.
