my wife got her business instagram taken down bc the AI moderation claims to have found CSE on her personal accounts (she's never posted anything with children and her posts have never contained anything sexual - we're assuming it's that the AI wrongfully miscategorized several lolita fashion groups/communities as CSE bc of the name association) and she has no avenue to get them to re-enable her account. we're trying what we can, but she doesn't want to make a new business account to start over again bc then they could permanently ban her for ban evasion. as of right now, she's not the only one being affected, and with our current social media being locked in a chokehold by a few companies and a few people, all of whom are incompetent at best and actively malicious at worst, it's important to speak up and try to fight the wrongful termination of accounts based on inaccurate AI algorithms and having no course of contacting human beings to oversee the moderation of those programs.

Can you spare a minute to help this campaign?

“Kill shelters” are the shelters you need to donate to.

“But shrimp!! Kill shelters are evil!!”

No, shut up, listen to me for a second.

“Kill shelter” is a colloquial term used primarily for Town/City (aka municipal) shelters that rely on incredibly limited government grant funding to operate.

These shelters, by the very nature of their existence, DO NOT HAVE the funds to operate like private rescues do.

On top of this, they’re also *legally required* to take in ANY animal that comes to them. Even if they’re full. Or they’ll lose all of their funding.

This is what leads them to needing to euthanize for space. Is euthanizing for space sad? Yes. But due to the current crisis, it’s also NECESSARY.

These shelters are constantly overfull. They’re STRUGGLING. They don’t have the funds to operate properly. And yet these municipal, government funded, struggling shelters are the same ones that are most likely to be providing care for owned animals in the community

Municipal (“kill”) shelters are the ones hosting low cost spay and neuter clinics. They’re the ones discounting vaccination appointments and microchipping. They’re the ones that have pet food banks so struggling pet owners can feed their pets that week.

These shelters are not evil. They’re doing the absolute best they can with the bare minimum funding they get.

These people are incredibly resourceful and care very deeply about the animals in their care. It breaks their heart every time they have to euthanize an animal that couldn’t get adopted.

These underfunded shelters need your money significantly more than that fancy private rescue you see on TikTok or instagram that has a beautiful facility and has never had to euthanize an animal ever.

Support your local shelters and they will give back to the community thousand fold.

Sincerely, an animal welfare student who’s tired of seeing the hardest working professionals shat on because of circumstances they can’t control.

The National Parks Service have purged trans people from the website on the Stonewall National Monument

[queer-as-city-folk]

Trans people threw the first bricks at Stonewall, this is explicitly genocidal and revisionist, they are removing trans people from our history, they don't want us to exist

[queer-as-city-folk]

The fact they can't even acknowledge us in platitudes is fucking terrifying, they can't even say T in LGBT on the website for Stonewall Inn. Stonewall was the start of our liberation and we can't and could never have liberation without trans people and specifically trans women like Marsha P Johnson and Sylvia Rivera

[queer-as-city-folk]

During the raid on the Stonewall Inn in 1969, the police forced all women in the bar to undergo genital inspections in the restroom so they could arrest trans women and drag queens. That was what started the riots, people refused to comply with the police attempting to target trans women. It is explicitly revisionist to separate trans people from the stonewall uprising

[flatfishes]

lets hear it for transgenderism and faggotry. can I get a round of applause for transgenderism and faggotry

[flatfishes]

LA Cares AIDS campaign (c.1984) starring Zelda Rubinstein Zelda Rubinstein was a little person (the term she preferred) who began acting in her 40's. Her big break came in 1982 with her role as Tangina Barrons in the film Poltergeist.

In 1984, she was the the central figure in a series of advertisements, directed towards gay men specifically, promoting safer sex and AIDS awareness. Rubinstein did so at risk to her own career, especially so shortly after her rise to fame, and admitted later that she did "pay a price, career-wise." "I lost a friend to AIDS, one of the first public figures that died of AIDS," the actress said in an interview with The Advocate. "I knew it was not the kind of disease that would stay in anybody's backyard. It would climb the fences, get over the fences into all of our homes. It was not limited to one group of people." She attended the first AIDS Project Los Angeles AIDS Walk. (Source:Wikipedia)

I want you to remember:

The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.

[nudityandnerdery]

Thanks to whoever tried, but I knew they'd never allow it.

[library-graffiti]

Let's do it the old fashioned way. Spread it far and wide.

[victusinveritas]

Reminder: you can't be the whole wall against stopping fascism by yourself. Nobody can. But you damn sure can be a brick.

[nudityandnerdery]

There's a lot of good comments and tags in the notes, but this one is very important, I feel like it deserves some emphasis.

Part of how authoritarianism works is telling you that you can't stop it. And you can't stop it by yourself. But it wants to stop the train of thought there and let you fall into despair.

You need to remember the next part: you don't have to stop it by yourself.

You're not alone. Take care of your community and let your community take care of you. Supporting each other is so vital.

Adult Transgender Legislative Risk Map, November 2024

[canisbeta]

This map is made and maintained by transgender journalist Erin Reed. She read all 550 bills targeting trans people in America in 2023 and 586 so far in 2024 and she scores state safety based on proposed and enacted legislation. She regularly updates the map (including explanations of recent legislative changes) on her site. She has a separate map for trans youth (which: warning, is even more scary), since a lot of policies target minors specifically.

It’s depressing as all hell, but Erin does great work and I’ve been using her maps to plan my career and vacations for years. It’s helped me figure out where to apply for grad school, and helps me keep track of what states I cannot do a layover in while flying because of bathroom bills.
