Me divierten las palabras peyorativas peninsulares (o en general en español, pero de otras regiones) que aparecen de vez en cuando por acá. Hoy vi “cateto” y “tontoalastres”. Me da alegría aumentar la colección por coincidencia, ojalá aparezcan más.

I’m aware of too many things. I need actions and concrete outcomes

En la Zona Azul hay un lugar de flautas que parece parte de una franquicia (de varias) que hay en el área metropolitana, pero -según yo- tiene un sabor distinto que lo hace particularmente top. Me urge revolver sus salsas con crema y empacarme una de barbacoa, una de pollo y otra de frijol 🥲

A teen is dead because ChatGPT encouraged him to conceal his pain and coached him on how to take his life – a feature, not a bug. @sachalouise.bsky.social for @msnbc.com says, chatbots “are designed to produce engagement and keep kids hooked — even when they need off-ramps for real-world help."

Thinking about gig workers in DC right now. The situation has put some clarity towards my long-held feelings: If I were aware of a business model which relies on putting its workers in precarious positions, I would not contribute to that business model's demand.

Delicious crab bucket yummy yummy yummy yummy My personal feeling is that while the quality of conversation is better here, Bluesky and Twitter are both designed to keep you using the platforms all day, arguing and discoursing instead of doing activist work. It’s like trying to organize at a casino

Uno piensa «bueno pero todo mundo sabe que las "ceremonias indígenas" con sahumerio y bastón de mando para ¿bendecir? a un nuevo funcionario las inventó algún coreógrafo obradorista en 2018». Pero ¿qué tal que no todo mundo sabe?
As a nonbinary person who gets oftentimes mistaken for a woman, this rings true + close to my experience as well. Working in INGOs, even before the whole USAID debacle, has proven time and again how bleak the performance of inclusion is in hierarchies where non-(cis)males have always been undermined
“i’m an ally, but only if you’re sufficiently deferential and nice to me” is one of the most embarrassing statements imaginable, yet so many people feel perfectly comfortable shouting it from the rooftops absolutely mortifying
Crises for the field include funding cuts, censorship, DEI dismantling, gaslighting, reactionary centrism, and extreme mindsets. Opportunities we identify include paradigm shifts, dismantling traditional hierarchies, values re-alignment, public outreach, and resourcefulness.
I feel this. What I learned was that the brighter you are, the more of a threat you are. And they will push you out. I have lost count of the amazing women that have left tech in particular. People who had amazing insight, ideas, who were a delight to work with. Demeaned, harassed, excluded.
Sister Mary Catherine who told me when I was working at a domestic violence org in NYC that I would truly feel free once I was no longer afraid of getting fired. She was 100% correct.

We warned legislators and regulators this would happen. We showed them data on consumer non-compliance and the surge in VPNs and pirate sites. They knew this would happen didn’t care.
unironic use of the phrase "purity test" is the best way to signal to everyone that you're a selfish amoral piece of shit who would eagerly sacrifice any marginalized community you aren't part of in order to preserve your own comfort

I don't get how people don't realize that a technology that replaces junior and entry level positions in a field destroys that field. There's no skipping steps. You have to be a junior before you can be a senior, and if you don't have senior people, you don't have a field.

at their core, trans rights, abortion rights, and vaccine rights are actually all the same issue: they’re all about bodily autonomy, and the willingness to concede any of them puts the others at risk.
Me parece muy desagradable/innecesario que mi salud dependa tanto de ingerir alrededor de 2.5L de líquidos al día.
Me gusta que esté pasando el calor (y que sea el inicio de la spooky season) porque ya puedo hacer/comer sopas como si no hubiera un mañana con ingredientes que -en mi opinión/experiencia- también saben mejor en esta época. Por otro lado, me hace falta queso doble crema (aka queso Chiapas) 🥲
Related to @phoenixcalida.bsky.social ‘s thread, this piece goes deeper into censorship and how age verification laws (aka concealed surveillance/censorship under feigned concern for kids safety) affects sex workers and adult content creators (non-paywalled 🔗: archive.ph/1BVVb):
Lembrei dessa matéria da BBC que tenta explicar o que faz as pessoas terem visões tão idealizadas sobre bilionários. O artigo acertadamente culpa a imprensa por induzir esse comportamento, e, como podem ver, a própria BBC. É quase como se o modelo de negócios e produção fosse responsável...
Besides the article you quoted and your (always appreciated) insights, I just came upon this other one that goes deeper into censorship and how it affects sex workers and adult content creators (non-paywalled: archive.ph/1BVVb):
We tried to tell people this would happen! And the further you go from sites that attempt to follow laws, the more likely you are to encounter content that was either filmed or uploaded without consent It actually creates MORE sexual abuse & exploitation

If you are an American trans person doing any kind of creative and intellectual labor, *no matter how famous,* the #1 thing on your mind should be 'how can I continue this work under fascism?' We are essential workers for our community. You don't walk around in a pandemic unmasked.
The time for performative activism is over. It's not 'cowardice' to take your work underground if you'll be persecuted otherwise. The *work* is the essential part, not the demo. We need to witness. To document. Our community cannot survive without those tools. We're reaching that point.
One of my close friends shared this excellent article with me the other day and it's been on my mind ever since. Creative and academic labor for trans communities becomes doubly important under fascism. Scatter and keep working.
Counterpoint: Don’t talk to them.

To say someone is “worse off” based on personal traits invokes pathologization and a victimhood model. Don’t assume you know another person’s experience of life, their joys or suffering

I have a gut feeling about other sectors using this “strategy”. In any case, though economic uncertainty sucks, I am glad to no longer be under the stress of abusive management from C-suite creeps. Still… The silence from the people still within that NGO is unsettling, but not my problem anymore 🤷

Good question to ask yourself: If you achieve your political goals will you feel empty or fulfilled? Cause just beating bad feels empty once you win. There's no substance left once the fight is done and bad is banished. And that risks perpetuating bad in order to feel something.

Lot going on this weekend with protests in Indonesia, commemorations of the 831 prince Edward street MTR attack, a new exhibition hosted by @seajunction.bsky.social & more. As well as highlights related to Myanmar.
It genuinely melts my mind how so many allegedly smart people are willing to simply discard the utterly crucial differences between the embodied, organic consciousness of human beings (and bees, and dogs, and fish) and the networked, disembodied simulacra of such that is an LLM.

Misogyny and patriarchal protectionism over "the Nation's women" has long been a hallmark of fascist movements, in fact, so what is this argument even saying? Don't tar your political opponents with a term they want to distance themselves from just because they adhere to its tenets? Absurd.

Pienso que estamos tan acostumbrades a lidiar con personas mediocres y manipuladoras en posiciones de poder que se ha vuelto una aspiración volverse alguien a quien nunca le contradicen/retan/cuestionan como un tema de estatus/ventaja, ahí estas “ tecnologías de la decepción” enganchan y prosperan.
Once I had a draft, I asked some of the smartest organizers I know for their input, and listened to folks already grappling with Trump's militant escalations in L.A. and D.C. What was ultimately shaped by these conversations is a set of questions that can help guide our preparations for this crisis.
