Honestly, I feel powerless against all this hate and violence. And right wing extremists keep saying we need more and more guns, and that trans people, women who have abortions, and black lives are the real existential threats to this great white nation.

Game 60: Richard Scarry's Busiest Neighborhood Disc Ever (1994), by Activision.

Educational program for children about the dangers of stress and overly high work pressure.

You see, everyone in Busytown is always busy. So busy, in fact, that in my short visit to the town I was witness to multiple workplace and road accidents.

Of course there was no gore or screaming but hopefully it teaches kids the importance of taking breaks and watching out for each other.

All Cops Are Beagles in Busytown.
Too busy to dodge the lightning bolt.
Too busy to notice the giant buffalo on the road.

Really pissed to find out that a block means nothing on or . Feeling ick being able to see the former partner of a friend who I have blocked, because someone on blahaj.zone has replied to them and there they are now sitting in the local timeline. They really fucked my friend up for years with their sociopathic manipulation.

Now I find out that she can see me if I'm not set to private. Why can't a block be an actual fucking block?

This is the basic shit many folks have been asking for while devs just fuck around with their basic bro stuff.

I really don't want to leave the , but how the fuck is this safe??? How can I feel safe knowing that she can potentially see me? I'd be safer back on the bird site.

This is not good.

Believe women. Believe Black folks. Believe Jews. Believe LGBTQ+ folks. Believe anyone who tells you they’re being attacked. As the adage goes, “privilege is learning about racism instead of experiencing it.” And this is true for all forms of targeted oppression, hatred, and violence.

Good news: Automakers are finally realizing that car touchscreens are a disaster.

Drivers hate them, and they're also dangerously distracting. Buttons and knobs are poised for a comeback.

As Rail Profits Soar, Blocked Crossings Force Kids to Crawl Under Trains to Get to School

When crossings are blocked for hours, kids risk their lives to get to school by crawling through trains that could start at any moment.

Ambulances and fire trucks can’t get through. The problem has existed for decades. But it’s getting worse.

Friends. This is an extremely important message for women (or anyone) who may be a victim of domestic abuse in the UK.

I think @pixelfed is the first fediverse project to ship a list (1.6 MB) of cloud server ip address ranges that are used to block access to auth and api routes by default.

Abuse and spam mitigation are crucial to any platforms success, and I hope other projects copy us.

"What we do

Rainbow Railroad is a global not-for-profit organization that helps LGTBQI+ people facing persecution based on their sexual orientation, gender identity and sex characteristics. In a time when there are more displaced people than ever before, LGBTQI+ people are uniquely vulnerable due to systemic, state-enabled homophobia and transphobia. These factors either displace them in their own country or prevent them from escaping harm.

As a result of Rainbow Railroad, more LGBTQI+ individuals will be able to access lives free from persecution.

Since our founding, we’ve helped over 7,621 LGBTQI+ individuals find safety through emergency relocation and other forms of assistance. Our story has received international media attention, including a feature on CBS 60 Minutes. "

This week's comic on the blind zones of America's gargantuan trucks and SUVs.

Lockdownyourlife, to OSINT

The most apparent thing to me, y'all don't read the things said to myself, and others on this platform.

I have rhino skin at this point, but do you SEE what is being said?

Do you read it?

Do you KNOW what happens when you fling a death threat enough times?

Do you get told someone wants to unalive you simply for existing?

Men really do hate us.

Women, LGBTQIA, Black, Brown, Indigenous, Jewish, non-binary and other marginalized groups are humans.

We are not/not objects.

We are fully formed beings who live every day knowing you want to hurt us.

Imagine living in a world where your very existence sets people off.
