The single most important thing a man can do to be an ally is give his woman friends permission to give dudes at the bar his number so when they call he can angrily say that's not funny because she died 15 years ago that very night

I implore you. Like things. I don't mean to hit an engagement button on social media sites. I mean enjoy stuff. Don't be beige. Cringe is a manifestation of internal fear and other's condiditoning shame for no reason. It's bs. Be weird.

Easter water fights. In Poland, there's a tradition called Śmigus-dyngus where you sneak up on family with water pistols or even hoses. Mum woke me up one year like this 😅

Stay aware, alert, and prepared. Iceout.org is an informative site where you can see real time witness reports of ICE and their locations: observed, active, and critical. It is more important than ever to share these resources. Do not ignore what is happening.

There are many people who simply do not understand the stakes and either understate or overstate them. The issue is not that AI will replace writers or w/e: it can't. The issue is that AI will make our working conditions significantly worse and harm the development of new artists in our fields.

Over the last 2 days we received more than $500 dollars in pledges for The Matron 2. Amazing rallying! We have a stretch goal - if we get $5,500 we will open up a stretch reward: www.kickstarter.com/.../the-matr.... 2 days to go: we can add the t-shirt for late pledges if we get the stretch goal!

I will never use LLM for anything to do with my writing. Even my research is driven by good research practice, not AI. Why would I? I like the work. If you don't like doing the work, ask yourself why you're not actually doing something you do like to do, instead.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

I'm sure my followers know this, but I'll say it just in case it breaks containment. When the topic is disability; listen to disabled people. Trans rights? Listen to trans people. Racism/ xenophobia? Listen to BIPOC. Women's issue? Listen to women. Marginalised people KNOW what's best for US.

Hi, I lost a keychain and I'm wondering if anyone can help me replace it. It was an Alastor keyring where he's eating ribs. It's transparent acrylic and has his name in it in red letters. It came from Etsy, but I don't know who the vendor is. #Alastor #hazbinhotel #fanmerch #fanart

A solid article but can we please, again, address the fact that ChatGPT uses em dashes because they ARE used a lot? Lotta hate on them lately because of AI but they show up there because of the materials it was trained on so just be aware that personal stylistic choices are just that - personal.
