“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30. Many of my friends had died of AIDS. I did not expect to live to 50. I’m 58 now. HIV treatment works. Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex. Ensure HIV treatment for all. End HIV stigma. #WorldAIDSDay

Me on a candlelit vigil for AIDS in 1987.

Me last week. Looking pretty healthy for 58 (28 years living with HIV).

New found appreciation for butterfly photography. They are HARD to predict and keeping focus is brutal. After 2 days with them im putting down my camera(for butterflys) and waiting till next winter season to try and capture some good in flight shots.

A monarch butterfly begins to land on a log and you can see two gnats in the air, nothing is particularly in focus LOL

Monarch butterflies on some strawberry, several are in the air and only one is in focus in the air

A picture of Monarch butterflies that are wintering on a branch and you can see varying degrees of focus due to the depth of field

One butterfly of three in focus in an empty scene in the sky

Speaking on this; there's a tumblr post that PERFECTLY explains why TERFs have 'so much reach', and folk need to see it. Stop engaging with TERFS, block them, and get them offline. Likewise, report *their* harmful comments. Organise and be smart.

Following the previous tumblr post by khazrablood, fourohfourlifenotfound, a different user, has reblogged the post and added;

If we are ever going to stop this, then you guys need to start learning why this happens.

And it's not always because some executive made a decision to favor a TERF. It's because the technology is broken in a way TERFs have learned to use to their advantage.

So content moderation is a HUGE task. It is incredibly inefficient to manually monitor all user reports-- when you "flag" something as spam or inappropriate or 'inciting harm' (what Blueskye is saying the banned users had in their posts). So what actually happens is that the bulk of it is reviewed by machine. The precise "how" is a bit of a black box (if you say exactly, it makes it more vulnerable to being bypasses), but we generally know it's a bit of machine learning ("ai", but not he chatgpt kind) and a bit of automation. Generically this gets referred to as an "algorithm" (which is a meaningless word I don't have time to unpack here).

a continuation of khazrablood's tumblr post, reblogged and added to by fourohfourlifenotfound;

The TERFs have a formula. A battle plan, if you will. I've been watching them use it for almost a decade. And they play social media sites like a fiddle every single time.

The way it works is that they coordinate attacks on targets they dislike. (Usually trans people, but ace discourse is a notable example of targets not necessarily fitting that demographic.) They send links to each other of posts to report. They'll flag it for whatever the nearest thing they can is. The blueskye users were wishing ill to JK Rowling, so "inciting harm" was the excuse selected. "Inappropriate or sexually explicit content" is a common selection for other trans content.

Then what happens is the content moderation "algorithm" sees a huge influx of reports for a certain post or user. And instead of making a human manually review all of that, it automatically initiates a ban or takedown. And if the "algorithm" has word censorship built in, it will begin to auto-flag for things containing words in posts frequently flagged, so it begins to auto-flag the word trans itself.

The end of tumblr user fourohfourlifenotfound addition to khazrablood's original tumblr post;

This has been happening for almost a decade. There was a trans youtuber who proved TERF hater group chats flagged his videos so much that it started auto-demonitizing identical videos with the word trans in the title, but leaving ones without the word alone. I strongly suspect this is why we see huge amounts of trans women banned for no reason on tumblr. And this is clearly what is happening now.

How do we fix it? There's no easy solution. All the things about the "algorithm" that make moderation easier for the social media platforms are the exact reasons it's so difficult to defeat. It's hard to teach a machine what's a genuine flag and a malicious one. Again, it's been almost a decade since the issue was raised with youtube, and there has yet to be a solution for rooting out malicious coordinated flagging.

But here's one thing that can help: get TERFs off of social media. Stop letting them bait you into petty fights. Learn how to identify them. Block and report them.

GRAY GHOST AND WONDER BOY! One of the most FUN parts of working on this year’s NIGHTWING ANNUAL was this faux pre-code cover I did as it was a real cover to be used as a prop in the story. I even added a balloon like those old-timey covers w a little Batman66 ref since there were sharks involved 😁

A faux cover with the gray ghost and wonder boy tied to a rope and hanging over a pool with sharks. Wonder boy says “it looks like you picked the wrong day to forget the shark repellent, gray ghost!”

If you don’t recognise a genocide as a genocide you are, by definition, a genocide denier. It doesn’t matter if you make yourself feel better by saying after nearly 2 years of genocide that starving children is ‘indefensible’. You’re still a genocide denier. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

Israel is DELIBERATELY starving Gaza. Precedents for this include Nigeria in Biafra and the Nazis in the Warsaw Ghetto. This is genocide, but killing by the cruelest and slowest means possible. Pure sadism. My disgust for the Israeli government and its people for letting this happen knows no limit.

BREAKING: JOINT STATEMENT FROM REUTERS, BBC NEWS, ASSOCIATED PRESS & AFP. Warning that their staff face death by starvation in Gaza. Horrifying and unprecedented.

We are desperately concerned for our journalists in Gaza, who are increasingly unable to feed themselves and their families. For many months, these independent journalists have been the world's eyes and ears on the ground in Gaza. They are now facing the same dire circumstances as those they are covering.
Journalists endure many deprivations and hardships in warzones. We are deeply alarmed that the threat of starvation is now one of them.
We once again urge the Israeli authorities to allow journalists in and out of Gaza. It is essential that adequate food supplies reach the people there.
