Reminder there is another economic black out from March 7-March 14, 2025. This boycott specifically targets Amazon. Do not order anything from Amazon for seven days. Cancel subscriptions during this time period even if you intend to renew when the blackout is over. We need everyone we can get.

Remember! Economic strike tomorrow! Don’t buy anything! Another thing you can do is cancel subscriptions you’ve been meaning to (like Amaz*n Prime), and if they ask why you’re cancelling, tell them their business practices don’t align with your values

I’m in an online support group for women with my type of breast cancer. A member was in a clinical trial for a vaccine to prevent recurrence that has looked incredibly promising. It just got suspended because Guess Fucking Who cut the funding.

Amazon is killing the "download and transfer via USB" option for ebooks as of next week ish. You can still sideload books into a Kindle, but accessing the files for ebooks bought on Amazon (so that you can deDRM and add to Calibre, for example, before sideloading) is going to be harder.

I think there's a good case to be made at this point that Twitter is a state actor.

Cosigned. Your followers are ghosts. Your big number means nothing. Any art you're posting is being fed directly to Grok. It throttles outgoing links to the point of uselessness. You mere presence empowers one of the worst men alive. Like, seriously: why are you still there? Where is the line?

Learning new platforms is annoying, but I guarantee you it is worth it because you don't want to depend on any single one of these apps/sites. It's inevitable that they will try and shut down one thing or the other but if we are flexible, we can stay a step ahead. Digital ungovernability, y'all-

"Cycling is not a practical daily travel option for most people." In 2022, 26% of car trips in the UK were shorter than 1 mile, and 71% were under 5 miles. A 5-mile bike ride takes around 30 minutes. Provide people with the option to cycle and build more safe infrastructure

Found out that TWENTY emails is considered a lot to politicians on an issue. TWENTY. As in, they call that getting slammed. So next time you see a request to email your rep, or call, keep that in mind. TWENTY is a lot.

As a reminder, folks: I have a Comradery. Think Patreon, but collectively-owned. After some thinking about how to better utilize it, I've uploaded all of January's art, there. (It's primarily for my webcomic, but I'm gonna just archive all my art here from now on.) comradery.co/ironspike

in the 60s the tax rate was 90% and was dropped to 75% in the 70s... none of the business owners left. At the moment it's 40% An increase of 5-10% would generate so much without the need to make social cuts and they wouldn't leave Labour's just a right wing party who wants to appease the rich

If you're still on Twitter, get off now. Immediately. Delete your account. Not only is it obviously a safety risk for you, it is also morally unjustifiable.

We live in a country completely focused on cars that almost actively discourages us from moving around, but the dumbest guys in the country shout past dietitians to insist there's some secret chemical in American food making us fat.

I'm just going to keep pointing out these small* moments of collective action until it starts to click with folks that if we stand together we have all of the power. *this is actually a huge fricken deal, and it only took a couple clicks from a bunch of folks who collectively said No Fucking Nazis.

If you’re an average Joe on Twitter/X/FB/Instagram and not using your real name DEACTIVATE YOUR ACCOUNTS NOW. The more accounts we can delete simultaneously the more it will hurt. Remaining X Influencers: Tweet #GreatXWalkoff.

Welp. Apple snuck something dirty in our phones last night. Settings > Apps > (pick an app) > Siri > Learn From this App TOGGLE OFF. You have to go through each app. My garage app, my BANKING APPS, others had that turned on automatically. 😡
