Today's challenge: Every time you start spinning out in panic from reading the news or catching up on social media, put down the phone and spend 5 min. cleaning up/picking up/tidying/somehow improving your home environment. And then notice how much of a difference your small effort can make.

The app itself will still be available on your phone. But the app can’t be downloaded by anyone who hasn’t downloaded it already without a VPN. Unfortunately that doesn’t matter when it comes to updating apps and phone. So TikTok will be effectively obsolete and inaccessible when that happens.

If you’re wondering what radicalized me, it was the TikTok ban.

You know what’s insane? The US government is going to take my main source of income away like it’s nothing. Then they’re going to lie about it and say it’s cause China has my data as if Zuckerberg hasn’t done the exact same thing with no consequences.

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.

The image is from a "Transparency Center" document and lists guidelines regarding acceptable and prohibited content for insults. It mentions:

1. Insults about:

Character, such as cowardice, dishonesty, criminality, and sexual promiscuity or immorality.

Mental characteristics, including but not limited to accusations of stupidity, intellectual capacity, and mental illness, as well as unsupported comparisons among politically correct (PC) groups based on inherent intellectual traits.

2. Highlighted section:

The document allows allegations of mental illness or abnormality when tied to gender or sexual orientation, referencing political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality. It also acknowledges the non-serious use of terms like "weird."

it is I, your least favorite indie bookseller/audiobook narrator mashable, here to tell you that not only can you buy @claymcleod.bsky.social’s upsettingly apropos WAKE UP AND OPEN YOUR EYES in hardcover, you can also hear me scream or babble parts of the audiobook to you! WAKE UP AND OPEN YOUR EARS

cavatica, a redheaded white woman wearing dangly pink guillotine earrings, holds a hardcover of Clay McLeod Chapman’s horror novel “Wake Up and Open Your Eyes” in front of her face, obscuring her mouth and much of her nose. she is standing in a large bookstore, directly in front of the Horror section.

the ultimate goal of the reactionaries is to return to a world where they can openly harass anyone who is queer or different and be celebrated and rewarded by those in positions of authority - which can only be held by them and people like them

Still thinking about it 8 hours later. Woke up and immediately restarted the audiobook. Every single chapter feels like a Phoebe Bridger or Hozier song. It’s incredible.

Odessa, Texas has voted to pass a transgender bathroom bounty law that applies to PRIVATE bathrooms. This means even in queer spaces. If a cisgender person encounters a transgender person, they can sue them for $10,000 or more. This is the first law of its kind in the nation.
