Can we please leave Brasil the fuck alone? While we’re at it, can we leave everyone else alone too? The Monroe Doctrine is awful.

Coming back to say: DELTARUNE TOMORROW!!!!! (Unfortunately I’m supposed to start my work week on that Wednesday, so I probably will have to go on hiatus until I can play it 😭)

My attempts failed. I’m still not particularly stable right now, so I’m going to go rest up. I will probably not be active on here for a while. I am incredibly sorry to the people I caused immense distress

To put it another way, are you okay if The New York Times only interviewed white people 80% of the time when they covered Black people? This is intentional and systematic. If you don't want trans people to suffer, the two lowest hanging fruits you can do right now is to quit Substack and NYT

I cannot over emphasise how important this action is. Most MPs don't know this is going on, and by the time the guidance is laid it will be too late. Make sure you email your MP now – and encourage others to do the same.

Please read everything, since it's sort of based on my experience as a CSA survivor, but also did research. I made this document, since I'd like to get a safe place for SA survivors where they can express their stories and feelings in the UTDR community. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

As easily as you have sworn off Harry Potter pish, you can stop buying games from Microsoft or Microsoft owned studios. This is such a small ask and low bar to clear, there are thousands of other games available at any moment, but the impact can be huge.

the bill is 'H.R.8250' while usually i'd take a "wait and see" approach to a bill that has only been introduced, the us govt is moving FAST wrt age verification, so please, contact your representatives (particularly the house) and advocate against AV on device laws www.congress.gov/members/find...

We didn't deserve this day.

X just suspended an account for telling US soldiers, in first 365 days of service can GET OUT out just by reporting "failure to adapt" This will also apply to drafts, and may be useful information you can pass on As a foreigner (UK), I feel this must become something every American knows

Called my rep and said "I am concerned about the President's posts about committing genocide and would like my reps to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove him from office" and the guy was like "okay I'll pass that along, is there anything else" and I was like no that's pretty much it

Hi friends! this is still moving through the US Congress. It’s basically an anti-trans censorship bill disguised as “protecting children” (and its worded so vague, a corgi butt could be “obscene”) You wanna do something for #TDOV ? Call your reps. Call for all your trans friends 🤍🩵🩷

numbers up, people

please keep making calls about these bills and policies!

Well, not surprised it didn't last. Back to calling and emailing your MEPs, everyone: fightchatcontrol.eu #SaveSpeech

Concentration camps. Use the term. Do not stop using the term until this current American regime falls and the camps are liberated. Then use the term in The Hague. This is Trumpism. This is white nationalism. This is he moral gutter into which America has fallen.

this is like the third time a studio has pulled this excuse when including genAI and it's the third time i've had to say that this issue of genAI placeholder assets is redundant because game devs had a more intuitive solution 30 years ago

Chuck Norris was a staunch Conservative, anti-LGBTQ+ bigot that used his power and platform to try and ban the gays from the scouts as well as backing anti-lgbtq+ politicians. No rest for the wicked even after death.

also, my understanding is that the US senate will be voting on the SAVE ACT/ SAVE AMERICA ACT -TOMORROW- (saturday the 20th) so PLEASE call and yell at your reps about that one specifically literally right now

Hey, if youre like me, i know that it's hard to keep track of everything you need to call your reps about right now this isnt exhaustive but here's a script with a check list of issues that demand attention right now. I'll likely be add more later CALL YOUR REPS www.congress.gov/members/find...

When calling your reps, bring this up to them. It's not a hypothetical, it's a real and genuine threat.

Ive seen multiple news outlets claim that the SAVE Act/SAVE America Act is to be voted on in the senate this week, but nowhere provided a specific date So please, contact your legislators [particularly senators] and demand they oppose this bill! www.congress.gov/members/find...

Call your senators, especially the Republicans. Please tell them you will be voting Republicans out of office come November --- particularly anyone who votes for the SAVE Act Tell them vote NO on the SAVE Act. It will disenfranchise millions of Americans. 202-224-3121 Congressional Switchboard

Please use every We The People cell in your body for this

I know calling reps is very nerve racking. You're not sure what's the right thing to say, and tbh having a script thrown at me makes things just as nerve racking. I called today, and I figured I'd write up a transcript of how my call went down. Hopefully it helps demystify the process

You need to call your reps and demand that they OPPOSE: -the KIDS Act -KOSA -the Screen Act -Sammy's Law -the App Store Accountability Act And additionally, oppose: -reforming/sunsetting Section 230 -online age verification/ID laws www.congress.gov/members/find...

Paypal's only purpose is to transfer money. It is not for comments even though it has a space for it. It is not for reviews even though it asks you to. It is not a notebook, even though you need to remember what payments were for. Do not speak through it. Do not write on it. Pay in silence.

Look up X on the App Store, scroll down to Report a Problem and fill out the form with this information.

Rest in power to Keith Porter who was murdered by an ICE agent in Los Angeles. It’s terrible that his name is just now being circulated, but now that it is, continue to say his name.

Watch out for the ONE question where they try to trick you by putting "I want AI" as the bottom option where EVERY other question has "I don't want AI" at the bottom!

Hey remember how all of Mississippi was blocked on BlueSky due to an age verification law?! They're going to try to do that in Washington State! COMMENT and CALL on this one! www.wired.com/story/bluesk...

It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why: They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course. The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.
