Thank you! I’ll post around a bit before doing that but I’ll get to it. May need some funds for getting out of this hell state in Feb
Thank you, I saw that earlier today but yeah I feel bad. On the other hand I’m in need of a ton of help and don’t know what to do about it
Haha I will never forget that moment
Unfortunately I am a pools and have only 2.5 gigs a month of data. When its used up it gets shut off completely. So I’m text based until that changes, which its unlikely to. Just got declined for disability again and lots of hiring bias against trans ppl in my area
Lmao well written and sourced rebuttles are my wheelhouse! I did feel glee when Kissenger died and the corp that owns my complex can fuck themselves. Landlords are parasites. They once gave me a lease violation because I failed to follow their confusing instructions for the annual inspection AND listed it as “abuse to staff.”
Yeah it gets exhausting. Like, it’s important to do, but not everybody can and it shouldn’t be something you have to deal with sixteen times a day while posting about your life
Although calling him a journalist is a gigantic stretch. The man is just three bigots and a PR rep in a trench coat going “just say you’re just asking questions about tricky science!”
I’m excited to be here! I was just talking with someone irl about how we need to go back to the old forums type social media stuff and Hexbear drops into my life. I’m pretty isolated irl so it’ll be great to meet some new comrades and community
Good stuff, thank you. I’m a BlueSky user, I’m gonna stay there for now but I’ll be active here as well. Glad to have found the place!
For those that asked, Bluesky mods let a certain well known “polite transphobe” “journalist” stay on the platform who is already getting around blocks to harass ppl
Yeah I know multiple ppl in cyber security who are like TikTok isn’t a big deal, the data security claims are way overblown. I’ve heard ppl saying theyre worried about ppl being vulnerable to blackmail over like NSFW stuff they post or whatever, but like having a white supremacist Nazi owning X isn’t a blackmail threat somehow?
It’s definitely about Palestine and it’s definitely about fears of other countries doing what US companies and gov are doing. “How DARE you spy on our citizens! That’s OUR job!”
