Privacy is dead, and all of your data, including medical information, is constantly being sold to the highest bidder. This is a terrible situation, and there should be strict regulations for those who are breaking the law. Source https://www.threads.net/@thebrianpenny/post/C6y2ckfxaDj/

Where is the Earth's reset button?

Pretty sure its overdue for a hard reset.

The Supreme Court made something very clear

The rule of law won't save us

The broken systems won't save us

Politicians won't save us

Only WE can save us

Voting is still important, but know that voting by itself will not save us

Its time to fight back against the people who are actively trying to take everything away from us and kill us

Your anger and fear is justified. Do not let it stop you though. Use it as fuel to fight for what is right

"Why is it that every time a bunch of conservatives get together, a bunch of rich old white men get together and start screaming about freedom, people lose their freedoms?"

Our "betters" need to be gone. Its either us or them at this point. No more peaceful protest bullshit. We either fight back, or we are going to lose everything. Like it or not, this is where we are at now. Make a choice while you still have the freedom to do so

KOSA in a nutshell:

"Let’s punish the entire internet because the billion dollar corporations and parents can’t be bothered to do their jobs and want to pass off all of the responsibility of keeping children safe."

Person: How good are you at staying organized?

Me: I have 3 different folders on my desktop right now that are all named a variation of "Organize This Shit Later".

Question for #ActuallyAutistic people because I'm struggling with bad brain today

Have you ever gotten to a point where you just avoided trying to find a partner because you feel like there's no point due to the fact that you have too many needs/quirks/issues etc?

I'm sure there's also people out there who have felt similar who are not autistic and ofcourse they can answer too

I haven't had a partner in years. Been isolated since covid started and I just dont want to burden yet another person

Remember when low income folk could depend on thrift stores to help them out?

Now they’re substantially marking up items that are available new at dollar stores. And let’s not forget these items are donated to them—they acquire their inventory for free.

What a grift!

If something is going all in on AI, that's a pretty good sign that you should GTFO and switch to something else ASAP. Preferably something thats not been enshitified with AI bullshit. Lazy/Greedy/Unethical companies trying to suddenly force AI on their customers don't deserve your time or money.

This trend needs to die, and that will only happen when we make it sufficently unprofitable.

Hardwork does NOT guarantee success.

Thats a lie peddled by the rich to give false hope and a false sense of purpose to the working class so that they keep being good little cogs in their money making machines.

When not a single goddamn one of them worked hard to earn their wealth. Why do they tell us that -we- have to work hard and struggle to attain a comfortable, happy, and financially secure life when they never did? Think about it.

Don't be fooled. Workism is a toxic and harmful mindset.

I am not ready for 2024. I’m not looking forward to 2024. I don’t want to lose our democracy, but I also don’t want 4 more years of not enough progress/improvement either because we allowed saboteurs into our governments at all levels local, state, and federal.

Something has to give. I can’t do another 4 years of this shit.

People need to stop wasting time, energy and resources on trying to "bridge the divide" with far right terrorists

Instead, they should be focusing on uniting, defending each other, and fighting back

Trust me, they will take that olive branch you extend to them and stab you in the back with it the moment you aren't looking. They will manipulate your misplaced compassion to harm you and others

People really dont get how close we are to losing everything right now. This is not a fucking drill

I’ve never seen a Karen go wild in person until today

How entitled do you have to be to make a scene at a goddamn Dollar Store over discounted Xmas stuff with your designer jacket and $150 blonde hair cut. Verbally abusing employees because you’re too stupid to know how receipts work

I firmly scolded her that they dont deserve to get treated like shit for her mistake and to comply with the manager who told her to leave 6 times. She backed off quick because I wasnt an employee she could report

@stux People DO have a choice. Go to another instance that cares as little about their safety as they do. Individual domain blocks are NOT enough

Giving corporations a chance until they become a problem is like telling someone to drink poison but only take the cure when they start to feel bad. The cure might help later, but the damage from the poison while you were ignoring it is already done

They only want 2 things. To profit off the fediverse, or to try and takeover/destroy its competition

It's time to address the elephant in the room, or actually Threads

As many of you may know Threads went live in Europe and with that they started testing federation with the Fediverse

At this point there is a choice to make

1. Block Threads on instance level, that will take away the choice for each person

2. Do not block and let people block if they want to(1 search and 2 clicks)

After much consideration and talks I think we need to go with option 2 and let people decide for themselves

DO NOT TRUST META

All instance admins who care about the safety of their users should preemptively block any and all Meta instances. I am glad mine has already done so

"But people can block things individu--" Yeah yeah, I know

But seriously, most of the people who came to mastodon came here to get AWAY from corporate social media's bullshit

Meta only has two goals: Stealing from and profitting off of us, and/or to takeover or destroy its competition

Fuck #Threads 🚫

Every now and then I have these moments of clarity where the anxiety, pain, and vitriol dissipates for a little while..

I wish these moments would last longer.

Trauma isn't a contest. Trauma is trauma

War is traumatic
Poverty is traumatic
Natural disasters are traumatic
Abuse/Harassment in all forms is traumatic
Abortion is traumatic
Loneliness is traumatic

There is no superficial scale that determines who has it worse, and therefore is more deserving of compassion

Trauma affects everyone differently

Everyone's trauma is valid
Everyone's feelings are valid
Everyone deserves help

Just because you dont understand it doesn't make it invalid or "fake"

This should be getting WAY more coverage than it is

Biden is taking a huge swing at the pharmaceutical industry and he has a good chance at succeeding

Please watch for the entire explanation, because I can't fit it all in 500 characters and do it justice

This will impact so many people if this is successful. This should be a top news story tbh

Fuck the greedy pharmaceutical industry monsters who profit off of suffering and let people die

🎄 A HUMBLE REQUEST 🎄

It has been a very rough second half of the year for us

First, I IMPLORE you to give to those who need help with rent, medical needs, etc. I’ve seen a lot of mutuaal aid posts lately

What I’m asking for is some money to get a few of the people whom mean the world to me a small Christmas gift this year. After spending so much on medical needs that insurance refused to cover, I can’t afford gifts

Any and all donations and BOOSTS are appreciated ❤️

"How do we stop piracy? Its out of control!"

Pretty easily actually.

Make your shit more affordable and accessible. That's it.

Most people don't pirate things because they lack character.

Most people pirate things because they lack the resources to access it.
