While talking about how signal is good, want to remind people that publicly telling people to use signal to commit crime has been accepted as “probably cause” in court cases

welcome to the future, now your error-prone software can call the cops (this is an Anthropic employee talking about Claude Opus 4)

Sooner later, this will be you

i understand everyone is upset but keep the actionable threats offline and keep any HRT logistics talk quietly on whisper networks (Signal) where journalists and the stasi can't see

still at around 10% covered, i'll need to have $1.3k ready by the 1st. i've got a couple smaller romhacking commissions that will help me move toward this but i still need outside help. please boost and help if you can ^^ #helpsky #crowdfund #transcrowdfund #helpfolkslive2025 #urgentneed

re-upping this regarding the opsec and "upping the ante" factor of choosing to use cryptography for grey market or illicit transactions.

okay i think trans people need something to cheer them up and feel good and so i am opening sponsorships for a special Pride month edition of We Want You To Have This. $55 for a gift for a trans stranger. details on how this works in thread. nora.jewelry/products/spo...

Man what a fucking headline

Fucked up how good cats are, really

Look at this goofy little baby animal

polyamory is when u date multiple genders. biamory is when you date two or more genders

It's true (source: I'm French)

zork. you're *streaming* zork. fucking zork. a game so miniscule it could run on every single piece of networking equipment involved in getting that shitty compressed video stream to your computer. hell, decoding the frames is gonna take more power than running the game.

Get angry, sure. But use that anger. Direct it into action. Don't help the bastards by pummeling yourself into submission and doing their work for them. You have to actively push back the fear and the hopelessness. It takes work Make them feel the weight of the targets they want to hang on you.

My favourite variant:

I think the impulse to solve this via DIY is a useful one that can serve as a temporary band-aid, but getting blood work done, especially early on, is CRITICALLY IMPORTANT for protecting the health of trans people, and blood work is expensive without insurance (even when DIY hormones aren't)

I was gobsmacked when I took screenshots of this one. Look at this shit, it's gold, I love it.

It’s not even a gerontocracy question, here, really; the three dead Democrats all had cancer diagnoses before primary season & yet chose to run anyway (and nobody stopped them)

just wanted to say, for my trans homies: I love you and I will fight for you ❤️

the best thing you can do right now to avoid sinking into despair is stop waiting for a government to protect people it was never designed to protect. redistribute your time and resources to build new structures of resilience. stop begging for mercy and plant the seeds that are already in your hand.

Cis Americans, if you do one single thing today please let it be to contact your representative. You have no idea how many US trans people I follow who are freaked the fuck out And for everyone else, if America does it, your country will use America as an example of how they can do it too. Speak up

Reminder to my (trans) mutuals, if you need support ($$), hit me up via DM/Discord/etc, I’ll donate what I can, when I can.

Fuck it. Trans folks need MATERIAL SUPPORT. @distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting. Fund the kits here: distributeaid.org/hrt-harm-red...

You dumbasses need to think really careful about posting right about now, I am not kidding. Openly talking about certain actions on a public social media site is simply a bad idea. I've done it, I've regretted it. Don't post fed-magnets.

It's been a wild two weeks since I've launched macthemes.garden, but I didn't stop iterating on it :) I've added sorting a few days ago and now the big thing: Likes (both on-site and from social media)! I wrote about it if you're interested damien.zone/mac-themes-g...

How this interacts with wiretapping and two party recording consent laws, is of course left unsaid.

Buried in the tax bill: "no State or political subdivision thereof may enforce any law or regulation regulating artificial intelligence models, artificial intelligence systems, or automated decision systems during the 10-year period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act."

I mean this to every single cis person following me: you literally do need to go make life hell for your reps until they stand up for trans people. You literally do fucking owe us that much.

People chat and know NOTHING about the system and how it works. Yall need Medicaid. We need Medicaid. Everyone needs Medicaid. Idc if you have insurance through work. Get serious.

it should be enough that it's an attempt to exterminate trans people. trans people should not be a sacrifice you are willing to make. but if they are, you should still care, because they are coming for people you won't find acceptable losses too
