From the Nashville Zoo’s fb page! Here’s the petition, please please please take a moment to add your name (even if you’re not from Nashville!). If you are from Tennessee, contact your representatives and make it clear that the people do not want this data center. This is an AZA accredited zoo which is home to several species of critically endangered animals, we NEED to protect it. Make your voice heard!

You guys have my whole heart for sharing this I had no idea will be filling this out and encourage all my fellow brits to do soo too. If you’re not from the UK please keep sharing this around we have till the 26th May to submit these in.
This whole thing was set up without our say we all need to make sure we’re heard.
So the UK is currently in the weird aftermath of local elections.
Reform, who are the party founded on the principle that what we need in this country is leadership like Trump, got a lot of councillors, and as you'd expect for that raison d'etre, in the short time since the elections several of them have been suspended from the party, removed from office for public racist outbursts, quit because they realised what being a councillor is, quit because they realised they're not a leopard even though they're part of the leopards eating faces party, that sort of thing.
At this rate Reform won't have anyone to stand for election in the general election which their supporters (and leader) seem convinced they just won.
But for every one who's thrown out on their arse for being a shitstain of a human like a whacky waving arm inflatable tube fucker inflated purely with dog whistles, all I can think is, the second largest part of the electorate where you stood thought you were the best person for this job despite you being so demonstrably shit at it.
And the largest part of that electorate just couldn't be fucked one way or the other and let you walk in.
"Oh no-one stands for me so why should I vote for them" fuck off.
Someone's standing against you. Someone's standing against someone you love.
And the absolute shitstains are celebrating because they're coming second to "can't be arsed". Vote against them having anything to smile about.
@alatariel-gildaen v
What? The? Actual? FUCK?!
I would have lost it..
Gaza many people convinced themselves no longer needed attention because they thought the war was over. But here, the destruction never stopped. The entire Gaza Strip has been shattered by genocide, ethnic cleansing, hunger, fear, and endless loss. We will never forget, and we will never forgive those who watch our suffering in silence, as if our slow death means nothing.
I FOUND IT THANK GOD this video is so important
This is real and here is the patent. Nonconsensual data collection is detailed in column #4 on page 17.
i fucking LOVE this dude (FLESH SIMULATOR is the name of his accounts). all of his videos are full of information and tips like this, and he always has loud industrial tone music mixed poorly over him speaking to make it impossible to create a clean AI copy of his voice.
the concept of a site that doesn't even allow porn requiring age verification for mature content. you gotta give us your legal id or else we'll hide random posts that were incorrectly flagged from you
@staff
Submit a complaint, like we did with the reblogs update. probably won’t be as effective since they’re trying to comply in advance with legal bullshit that they take more seriously than the privacy of their users, but still.
Scroll the reblogs on the announcement for good points to raise. If nothing else, according to Tumblr’s own policy you have to be 13 years old to make an account, so any account that was made more than 5 years ago must be at least 18 years of age or is already breaking policy, thereby making it not Tumblr’s problem.
and please for the love of fuck don’t give them your ID.
For now, it looks like if you don’t hand over your identity, you’ll just be locked out of “mature” posts (which include paintings of fruit, but not sexually explicit ads, even though actual human-made porn isn’t allowed at all regardless of content tag). Worst case, you will be okay without tumblr. Believe me, I don’t want to leave either, but I will if the alternative requires me to doxx myself
For anybody not caught up: Tennessee just passed a new map that pretty much makes it so black neighborhoods have no power in local votes. Two things about this. While protestors were chanting "No Jim Crow", white Tennessee lawmakers were caught laughing on video. On top of this, Representative Justin Pearson and his brother KeShaun Pearson were arrested for trying to give their takes on the matter (which is not only their legal right but literally his job). If you give a shit about black people, help fight this. We can't allow a return to Jim Crow.
Heyyy guess where I live
A local paper had some great photographs, all taken by Nicole Hester:
The day before, Rep. Justin Pearson tries to attend a Senate Committee meeting and is barred access by the Sergeant at Arms.
Lawmakers and protesters link arms as the descend the capitol steps.
Once inside the chamber, Democratic representatives continued to stand together with arms linked.
They continued standing together with arms linked as votes were cast.
Democratic representatives take a group photo protesting the redistricting.
Rep. Justin Jones burns a photo of the Confederate flag with the words, We will not go back.
And stomps the ashes.
KeShaun Pearson being escorted from the building by the Staties.
KeShaun Pearson (left) being taken into custody. Rep. Justin Pearson (right) showing his support of his brother.
Additional information: State lawmakers have been gunning for Pearson and Jones nearly their entire terms. Most notably, in 2023, the House expelled them for participating in a protest at the Capitol. Their districts had to have special elections to have them reinstated.
Pearson is one of the plaintiffs of a lawsuit seeking an injunction against the redistricting.
The city most affected by the redistricting is Memphis, where locals are fighting against xAI's data center, which has been operating with very little oversight and is poisoning the people who live there. Here is a previous post on that with more information and more sources.
We should all be talking about KOSA. The bill would mean the end of the open internet in the US, and it was just approved by a House committee for a floor vote. The act is ostensibly designed to regulate the age of social media users. However, it actually deanonymizes the internet and allows the government to sue LGBTQ+ websites.
Unsurprisingly, the Heritage Foundation is one of the main lobbying groups behind this push. They have publicly stated they want to use the law to restrict LGBTQ+ and abortion-related content. Blocking children under 16 from accessing the internet means young people will be isolated within their communities. They cannot discuss LGBTQ+ issues with their online peers. They could not request help to access abortion clinics. Senator Marsha Blackburn, who once personally sent the FBI to my doorstep to harass me, admits the law is intended to shield “minor children from the transgender [sic] in this culture.”
“The through-line couldn’t be clearer: destroying online anonymity is a way for government to be able to identify ¬— and ultimately punish — dissenters,” explains Ari Cohn, lead counsel for tech policy at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression. The DHS has already subpoenaed hundreds of anonymous accounts tracking and protesting ICE. KOSA would make it even easier for the government to access your data.

I have recently broken up with my partner of 5 years after learning he sexually assaulted one of my friends. Now, due to him breaking the lease, I'm moving states in two weeks. I'm liable for $2000 for breaking the lease as well as needing to pay $300 for my part of the moving truck, and needing money to buy myself a mattress as well as groceries once I arrive at my new living situation approx. 12 days from now. This is genuinely one of the most stressful things I have ever gone through, and I appreciate anyone who can/has helped!

So you know.
This might be the real one, y’all.
I could use some luck

There are two principles of storytelling that should co-exist
There is no legal code for stories. There's no cop who will arrest you for making a horror story for children or a police procedural with musical numbers or a retelling of Frankenstein set on a Moon colony. Almost any concept can be redeemed by good execution and you can do anything you want with your story.
2. Reading and writing stories is a form of play, like sports. And, like sports, storytelling is often done by rules depending on the story being told. In the story of Star Trek, Vulcans can do mind-melds and Klingons cannot. If you want to write a story about Klingons doing mind-melds, you CAN argue that it's a fictional story and you can do anything you want... but it's like a football player saying hey, we're all playing this game for fun, right? Well, it's fun for me to get on an ATV and drive the football into the endzone.
Which isn't to say a game where people drive ATVs around while carrying footballs couldn't be fun--maybe a bit risky--but people who want to watch football probably wouldn't appreciate this "rule change" the same way people who watch Star Trek wouldn't appreciate Klingons doing mind-melds, or the Enterprise being able to change into a giant robot, or anything else that breaks the lore. Because "this story is set in the same universe as these other stories and the same lore is in effect for all of them" is one of the rules of Star Trek and if you don't play by that rule, you're ruining everyone's fun.
Yes, even though these fictional characters and there's no real Captain Kirk or USS Enterprise. Pretending that there is is what makes it fun for a lot of people. Sorry, but that's your audience. If you wanted a different audience, you should've kept walking until you found the writer's room for the Golden Girls reboot.
This is also a mark of what criticisms are valid or not. "You did a bad job playing baseball" is an okay criticism. "You played baseball when I wanted you to play basketball" is not.
i almost never do vent art, much less post it but man, i have been feeling bummed out recently
#literally genuinely truly people need to stop stereotyping 'ugly' nerd guys like this because it's extremely old#I can tell you right now you're more likely to get a rancid opinion out of a rich conventionally attractive dude just statistically#also stop using people's photographs to make mean jokes when you don't even fucking know the person thanks bye
