현재의 미국을 바라볼 때, 트럼프라는 껍데기의 치매성 헛소리를 4차원 체스로 분석할 것이 아니라, 스티븐 밀러 같은 극우 권력이 내세우는 액면 그대로의 백인 크리스찬 국가 수립계획을 직시해야 하는 맥락을 슬로우뉴스 통해 좀 설명. 미국에서 국가 깡패들이 길거리에서 시민들을 즉결처형하고 정부가 그들을 테러범으로 거짓포장하는 막장 상황의 이해. 아 그리고 신뢰할 정보출처의 재검토 문제. "현 미국정부의 발언들은, 대략 북한의 조선중앙통신사 정도로 취급하면 적절하다." slownews.kr/152803

백인 크리스찬 국가: 트럼프와 밀러가 꿈꾸는 미국, 그...

This is Norbert. He was Max's brother

He was an adventurer, an explorer, a glorious agent of absolute chaos

When one of us left the house, the other would have to distract him. If he saw me cycling away, he'd run along the pavement excitedly. He would have happily followed me the 12 miles to work, loving every second

I don't believe in ghosts, but I make an exception for Norbert. He is with me everywhere I go, sitting on my shoulder, still fascinated by the world

Two black cats are sitting outside on a ground-floor balcony. Norbert, the cat in the foreground, has a white crest on his chest. He is turning his head to the left to look at the person taking the picture. Max, the cat in the background, is turning his head round to the right, also to look at the person taking the shot (probably because I made a noise to get their attention)

Three years ago today, I finally admitted to myself that I'm transgender. That seems both so long ago and so recent.

I do remember sobbing that night realizing that I didn't want to take "her" to my grave. I didn't want to die an old... man. And I knew that everything in my life was about to change. And I was afraid.

That' same night I created this second smaller account on Mastodon. To start living as Lisa. To admit, even anonymously, what my true heart's desire really was.

A week later, I crossed the Rubicon and came out to my then wife. I wasn't afraid anymore, even though everything did change. I was relieved. I was elated!

I regret a lot of things in my life. But not being trans. Even in the current political climate and with the danger that's always nearby. There's existential dread and then there's existential dread. Yeah, ya kinda have to be trans to understand that.

If there's anyone reading this that's struggling like I was three years ago, please know that there are plenty of potential new siblings out here to help you. Reach out when you're ready to embrace who you truly are. You're not alone.

Love,
Lisa

Do you want Mastodon to automatically hide certain kinds of posts?

Or do you want Mastodon to automatically place certain kinds of posts behind a content warning that you can click open?

You can do both of these things by using Mastodon's filters feature. Filters lets you automatically hide posts with particular words, phrases, hashtags, links or emoji in them. More info on how to create and use filters in the guide at:

.....wait, I almost missed that.

Default password of "replace-me"?

I'll just leave this here, because going into yet another rant about how using default passwords is an invitation to harm is not my mood rn.

@inthehandsPaul Cantrell Yup. They are looking for an exit strategy where they can minimally save face and claim some sort of "win" because they are obsessed with form over substance -- The important part of which is that they are looking for an exit.

That's pretty much it. They know they can't sustain how things are going, and they aren't getting anything out of trying. TACO. If you stand up to the bully, they eventually give up.

Creating fake, sexual images of women and children is a cruel and unacceptable form of abuse. We will not accept that.
 
Today, the European Commission has launched new investigation against X under the DSA. We have taken investigative steps and suspect that X has not properly assessed and mitigated risk on Grok´s functionalities. This includes the risk of spreading illegal content in the EU, like fake sexual images and child abuse material.

They’re afraid. Hit them harder.

“White House press secretary…seemed unusually defensive”

“avoided the kind of victim-blaming tirade that has become de rigueur for Donald Trump’s administration“

”called Pretti’s death a ‘tragedy’

“refused to endorse adviser Stephen Miller’s slander of Pretti”
