The quoted meme of red-button choice with the fuck AI option extended:
"RAM & storage prices return to normal & capital loses power & energy & water & land are less wasted & critical thinking is less damaged & oligarches lose a major avenue for propaganda & fewer people experience psychotic breaks & creativity is actually valued & the code that materally impacts your life has fewer bugs &" the last line is partially cropped

poem that my dear friend @arcanumb.bsky.social wrote & published this week ❤️‍🔥🏳️‍⚧️
THE TRANS AGENDA IS TO KEEP MY F*CKING FRIENDS ALIVE

sol rios

At 2pm and 2am. Sleep,

I remember you. Please, wait for me.

I send out 7 reminders to eat a day.

Like little paper lifeboats.

It's nothing. And it keeps me afloat. I forget to eat too.

I need company for my shot. 3ml of Estradiol over facetime.

I tell my friend I'm being a baby about it, she says woman up.

Daylight savings swallows up the hour in question.

I was going to sit in the bathtub until you responded.

And I need you to keep you alive for me. Just until Thursday.

Just through to 6 am. I can send you 14 dollars for soup. I can lend you my ears. You'll need both hands to hold a heart. Your razor clinking against the counter.

In a dream I almost slip into, I reach through the phone and hide the blade

in my open palm, before you notice. Text me, I say. In the morning. I love you.

I need you alive. We can figure out the rest tomorrow. With or without sleep. With or without the light of the morning.

“Don’t let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.”
Black text on a yellow background - This is Alice's friend Sandy Ho, posting. Per Alice's wishes, this message is being shared at the time of her passing.
Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine I would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin.
We need more stories about us and our culture.
You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.

Gilead has announced that lenacapavir, the game-changing HIV prevention drug just approved by the FDA will cost $28,218 USD per person per year. Researchers say a generic version could be made for just $25 per person a year. Capitalism kills.
Lenacapavir is already sold as a treatment for H.I.V. infections that are resistant to other medications, at roughly $42,000 per patient per year. (Few individuals pay the full cost.)

Lenacapavir taken to prevent H.I.V. infection, a regimen called pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, will be sold at a list price of $28,218, according to Gilead.Aids and HIV
‘HIV-ending’ drug could be made for just $25 per patient a year, say researchers
As regulator prepares to approve lenacapavir in the US, campaigners are urging the manufacturer, Gilead, to make it ‘available and affordable for all who need it’

This is for a very specific community: Fountain Pen folks: do not buy from Ferris Wheel Press. ICYMI, they posted an ad on IG for a Harry Potter collab line of pens. During Pride month. And if you’re a FWP affiliate? Might want to reevaluate that with your own morals and ethics.

I cannot convey to you how excited I am to look at fountain pens in the UK this trip and France/spain around Xmas. I’m going to the montblanc store in London for ink and parfum, but I will stare longingly at the pens as well (Too pricey but fun to fantasize about).

Bluesky Fountain Pen Friends: my friend wants to get a fountain pen for her daughter who hasn’t written with one before. She normally uses the Uniball Zento pens .5-.7mm. What would you suggest? Anything under $100. But not really cheap starters. I think it’s meant to be special.

Framing the adoption of AI as an historical inevitability, rather than a way to do a thing you want or need done, gives the game away. Nobody selling it this hard cares whether it helps; they want it to be the thing you have to deal with, like it or not. Problems, solutions, what’s the difference?

The kicker of Mahmoud Khalil's new letter from ICE detention:
Excerpt from Mahmoud Khalil's new op-ed from detention:

"In his last message to a world that betrayed him, the beloved Palestinian journalist Hossam Shabat said, “I did all this because I believe in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it has been the highest honor of my life to die defending it and serving its people.”

So too do we believe that it is the highest honor of our lives to struggle for the cause of Palestinian liberation. The student movement will continue to carry the mantle of a free Palestine. History will redeem us, while those who were content to wait on the sidelines will be forever remembered for their silence."
