If you REALLY want to stick it to companies knowingly funding fashtech, consider becoming a Friend of @gnome! There’s a convenient $50/month option in case you’re not planning to drop $3 million on something else. Or, you know, any amount helps. 😉

@mekkaokereke Also too, the causal flow is in the opposite direction? Our system definitely rewards insane psychopaths with vast amounts of wealth.

@patmikemid As a midwesterner at the end of an inglorious stint at college, I felt the same gut punch.

Not saying I'm better in any way -- I also felt the rage -- but IDK..it seemed obvious that the sorts of forces I was up-close-and-personal with from my upbringing (super conservative and religious household, largely parochial schools) would use the moment in a millenarian way. And they did.

I think if your workplace makes you take a personality test you should have the legal right to make your workplace take a psychological environment health test

@KnightMustard it's a different reality for sure!

Background [June 2025]

'I never expected this much hate': migrants in fear as Portugal tells thousands to leave

"In his first news conference back in office the Minister for Cabinet Affairs announced more than 30,000 migrants have been told to leave the country after their residency requests were denied.

Minister António Leitão Amaro also told reporters that of the total 446,000 pending immigration cases, half will be rejected. It’s left a lot of potential applicants worried for their future amid a rise in hate crimes culminating in violent clashes earlier this year. CGTN’s Mia Alberti explains."

Tonight's Low Quality Ad is for this Ship Blanket. It's always been a dream of mine to sail the seven seas: The Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, the Dead Sea, Lake Ontario, the Mississippi River, that lake the Loch Ness Monster lives in, and the sewers below New York City.

It will always be Lake Ontario to me. Just like how I will always call Lake Superior what the cavemen who discovered it named it: Lake Unga Bunga.

Yeah, you should see what we did to Australia.

💐 Rosie’s Place: More than a shelter…a second chance.

Today, alongside other dedicated volunteers, we served Saturday dinner🍲. I always like to remind our community that the women who come here are family to someone—mothers, grandmothers, sisters—each carrying a story, each deserving safety and respect.

A quick look inside the 🍽️ dining room and 🌳 courtyard before volunteers served dinner. Since 1974, Rosie’s Place has been a sanctuary for LGBTQIA+ women and anyone who self‑identifies as female.

➡️ Because Rosie’s Place accepts no government funding, they rely 100% on community support.

📣 Please like, comment, and share this post to help spread awareness of their services and vital mission.
