Same TX Gov Abbott who vowed to quickly pardon the self-avowed #racist convicted of murder for driving his car into a gathering of Black Lives Matter protestors and shooting one of them to death
@KarenawokeKaren 6 arrested so far including the CEO of Republic.
I suspect TV cameras have now been instructed not to show these images ....
this is only a test.

The EARN IT Act will lead to online censorship of any and all adult & lgbt content across the entire internet, open the floodgates to mass surveillance the likes which we haven’t seen before, lead to much more CSEM being distributed online, and destroy encryption. Call 202-224-3121 to connect to your house and senate representative and tell them to VOTE NO on this bill that does not protect anyone and harms everyone.

TIL there’s a name for a weird feeling that I actually enjoy having:
kenopsia
n. the eerie, forlorn atmosphere of a place that’s usually bustling with people but is now abandoned and quiet—a school hallway in the evening, an unlit office on a weekend, vacant fairgrounds—an emotional afterimage that makes it seem not just empty but hyper-empty, with a total population in the negative, who are so conspicuously absent they glow like neon signs.

Reminder: Before you disrespect a racist on their passing, remember they may have family members and friends who love them. You should disrespect those people too.

Well, folks, my latest Wired column is live. It's about the urgent need for publicly visible displays of trans joy and resistance, and how popular social media platforms provide every incentive to suppress it in favour of terror, despair, and doom.
Having seen so many of my fellow trans people afraid that no one is noticing the far-right's attacks on trans rights, or that no one is speaking out or fighting back, I felt it was time to push back on the algorithmic doom.
Because, really, don't we all need more singing robotic bunnies in our lives?
