Il y a soixante-quatre ans, le 17 octobre 1961, la police française massacrait des Algérien·nes qui manifestaient pacifiquement pour leur dignité.

a stated goal of project 2025 was declaring trans existence an obscenity. • consider yesterday’s executive order • consider the thread below • consider what itch (& steam!) are doing because of hate group pressure on payment processors it’s all the same thread. now is the time to say “no.”
One of the most pervasive and destructive of these ideologies is so-called "diversity, equity, and inclusion" (DEI). In the Al context, DEl includes the suppression or distortion of factual information about race or sex; manipulation of racial or sexual representation in model outputs; incorporation of concepts like critical race theory, transgenderism, unconscious bias, intersectionality, and systemic racism; and discrimination on the basis of race or sex.
DEl displaces the commitment to truth in favor of preferred outcomes and, as recent history illustrates, poses an existential threat to reliable Al.

The fascists are counting on you finding erotica and porn too distasteful to support. Because they always start here. And even if they ended here, sexuality and erotism are integral components of queer expression. You can't support queer authors without supporting 'nsfw' content.

Okay, well. Queer & especially trans authors of erotica and other content deemed 'nsfw' by major platforms, please drop links to where people can find your stories in the replies. Everyone else: Repost people's links. Stop worrying about the sanctity of your feed & help the most impacted authors.

Money’s motive for running away 

Sounds like a humorous take on personal finance struggles! Based on the article’s satirical tone, possible motives for the money’s escape could include:

- seeking adventure and freedom from strict budgeting 
- tiring of being constantly spend or managed 
- attracted to the allure of “greener pastures” or better investment opportunities 
- needing a break from the AuDHD family’s creative financial management strategies 
- perhaps it just wanted to experience life in a billionaire’s luxury item, hinted by the last eyewitness sighting

April 25th in Portugal.

A revolution without war.
Soldiers with carnations in their rifles.
A nation that said: enough.

On this day in 1974, Portugal toppled its dictatorship not with blood, but with music, marching, and collective defiance. The Carnation Revolution remains one of the rare moments in history where liberation arrived not through destruction, but through refusal—of fear, silence, obedience.

What does this mean in 2025?

It means remembrance is not static.
It means history is not a graveyard of dates, but a live wire through which we confront the present.

Vel’ d’Hiv was the opposite of April 25.
It was silence instead of song.
Obedience instead of resistance.
Administration instead of justice.

But both are part of the same question:
What is the threshold between duty and complicity?
When does a system protect—and when does it persecute?

April 25 reminds us that the gears of injustice can be stopped.
That refusal is also a form of construction.
That dignity is not granted—it is reclaimed.

The past does not repeat. It insists.
And today, it whispers:
"What will you do with your freedom?"

I write to resist anesthetic language. I write because history does not vanish—it mutates. I write because even the most silent structures must be named. I write to resist simplification. I write to trace the fault lines. I write because silence, too, is a structure—and it must be studied.Remembrance and Vigilance: Vel' d'Hiv and the Enduring Logic of Exclusion

I’m Joffrey Baeyaert—writer, researcher, and strategist—working at the porous edges where memory, power, and classification converge. My trajectory is not one of specialization, but of sedimentation: layered, recursive, and quietly defiant of disciplinary borders. I began in the humanities—four years steeped in literature, philosophy, and history. I taught briefly, introducing students to the architecture of language and the weight of historical silence. But theory alone felt insufficient.I was drawn toward the living systems of the world—toward biology, then marine ecology, and eventually into the tangled realms of data and algorithmic governance. From tracking sarks to dissecting machine logic, my work has always sought the same thing: to understand how systems encode values—and how, without vigilance, those values calcify into exclusion.Remembrance and Vigilance: Vel’ d’Hiv and the Enduring Logic of Exclusion is my attempt to map a terrain we prefer to leave unmapped. Not to equate past and present, but to expose their structural rhymes. I write not to recount, but to confront: the bureaucratization of cruelty, the erosion of moral agency beneath the veil of procedure, the ease with which injustice can be administered with a signature and a silence.I was born in France. Today I live in Portugal. I’ve worked in ecological research, data strategy, and AI ethics—moving across disciplines not to escape coherence, but to find it elsewhere. I wear suspenders. I trust questions more than answers. My work is eclectic, yes, but deliberately so—anchored in the belief that critical thought must be both rigorous and disobedient.

5. The lesson is simple: when we see danger rising, when fundamental values are under attack, we cannot afford to hesitate. The cost of inaction is not just historical—it is measured in lives. Peace is not maintained by words alone, but by the courage to act when it matters most.

Jo Baeyaert @jobaeyaert.com · 01/03/2025
4. By the time Germany invaded Poland in 1939, the pattern was clear: unchecked aggression thrives on weak institutions and political paralysis. When rules are broken without consequence, war is no longer a question of if, but when.

Jo Baeyaert @jobaeyaert.com · 01/03/2025
3. The Société des Nations, created to prevent another war, proved powerless. It failed to stop Japan in Manchuria, it failed to check Mussolini in Ethiopia, and when Hitler broke treaties, it failed to act. An institution meant to uphold peace crumbled under fear and indecision.

Jo Baeyaert @jobaeyaert.com · 01/03/2025
2. The remilitarization of the Rhineland, the Anschluss with Austria, the occupation of Czechoslovakia—each of these violations was met with nothing but words. Hesitation gave space to aggression. Every concession made fascism bolder, every delayed action made the next move inevitable.

Jo Baeyaert @jobaeyaert.com · 01/03/2025
1. History has shown us the cost of hesitation. The rise of fascism in the 1930s was not sudden—it was a slow erosion of international law, met with weak responses and diplomatic cowardice. Hitler did not need to conquer nations in a single blow; he dismantled the post-WWI order piece by piece.

Europe was torn apart twice in the last century. Millions perished, nations burned, democracies collapsed. War is not history; it is a warning. To forget is to risk repeating. We must defend a fair and neverending peace, for those who fell and for those who will come after us.

Jo Baeyaert @jobaeyaert.com · 01/03/2025
@president.europarl.europa.eu President Metsola, history will ask: What did Europe do when war returned to its doorstep? What are we doing to support Ukraine, to fortify our democracies, to ensure a just peace? Words are not enough—Europe must act, boldly and decisively. The time is now.

Jo Baeyaert @jobaeyaert.com · 01/03/2025
@europarl.europa.eu European Parliament, the weight of history is upon you. In moments like these, hesitation is a silent surrender. Europe must not be a spectator to its own fate. Strengthen our defenses, safeguard our sovereignty, and stand firm for justice. To delay is to abandon the future.
