Stop, stop! 🖐️😰
This is the simplest of our daily struggles. I'm just trying to survive. I feel unbearably exhausted, as if my soul is calling me for final rest, but I wish someone could hear my silent screams. Does anyone really care? 😭💔

I regularly post fundraisers for trans folks (in the US) that need to get away from the states that have grown extremely anti-trans in their legislations and also in general societal environments. Some of the folks who need to evade their states are very young as well and would need critical assistance.

I have also included some fundraisers of people from gaza fleeing the genocide.

My question is: how many of you would be quite comfortable with me (regularly) tagging you under the posts (to your choice of visibility and consent) to remind/request you to boost them?

you may let me know in the reply section or DM me.

Anyway, I think there's been a generational shift in developer's perceptions of their obligations to that social contract and that it's made this industry substantially worse. The belief that "everyone knows" how to use the computers that are everywhere now has meant that nobody believes they need to, so nobody bothers, keeping training materials and docs up to date.

So developers think the costs of change are zero, because it's only the operators that bear those costs fully and invisibly.

The European Parliament’s LIBE Committee has backed a new Europol Regulation granting the agency unprecedented powers to collect, process & share personal data — including biometrics & facial recognition — with non-EU states.

👁️‍🗨️ If approved in plenary later this month, it will hand Europol vast surveillance powers, further entrenching the EU’s criminalisation of migration & solidarity.

🗳️ MEPs still have one last chance to stop this dystopian reform: vote NO in plenary.

I’m sorry did you say “taxing the rich and massive public investment to drive down prices”? It sounded like “tiny homes”.
