It's actually so fucking weird that your identity is absolute these days. like, it's been normalized to the point we don't think of it much, but until a hundred years ago, hell even less, you could just kinda. go somewhere else, and be a new person. and that's not a thing anymore.

[secretearthworm]

Yk this is fully untrue right? You can fully still do this if you're willing to change and let go of everything at literally any moment you want

[puppygirllaika]

since a good few people now have said this i want to be clear: you can move to a new town still and change socially, but like. the government still knows who you are. so do tons of corporations. your identity follows you.

Thanks Blake Ledbetter (@blakethy) and @usuaggielife for leading the study.

The landlord used a "gang activity" lie to get ICE to come in, terrorize everybody,

Break people's things and do some structural damage,

So the Black residents would have to move out of the building and make way for white tenants who'll pay higher rent.

ICE as the gentrification task force.

my hetero married mom is turning 65 and I shit you not she’s being denied Medicare unless she changes her legal name back to her maiden name on her birth certificate

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

she’s been contacting attorneys and speaking to every possible office and administrator and I’m like mom you might want to go to the news tbh

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

she is a very mildly unusual case because she had to shorten her first name when getting married so that her name would fit on the license form in 1990 and so now she has to petition for a name change to undo both that and taking my father’s surname because MAGA hates trans people so much lmfao

Right.

Because the military, an establishment that has historically been run for men, by men, while miles away from women for sometimes years at a time, has never allowed drag.

What the fuck

Do you think our forefathers

Would think of us

If they could see us now

Emasculating ourselves with makeup

Dressing like pansies

Making fools of ourselves

Absolutely mocking the very concept of masculinity

While they were giving their lives fighting the Nazis.

Yes, I know the last three photos are British, and you can kindly fuck off.

When you're a kid you just take trees for granted. Then when you get to be an adult you realize that a fully mature tree cannot be created in an amount of time that fits in a convenient landscaping timeframe for love nor money nor all the powers of science. Then you realize that people are very very very cavalier about chopping them down

interesting to see it in a diagram like this

Soooooo some more news on this hellscape we call earth. Wikimediq is refusing to comply with the uk online safety law and is in a court case with the uk government.

Last I checked the uk petition to repeal this law hit the 100k milestone so they'll have to discuss in parliament. Keep signing/sharing to bring that number up higher.

Happy birthday to Lyudmila Pavlichenko (born July 12, 1916), Soviet sniper in World War II, with 309 confirmed kills.

A true role model for today.

sorry if i'm gonna be quiet for a while. my country recently introduced laws that make it so that in order to use social media to the fullest (not being able to view ns/fw content and in a few cases, not even having access to dms), i HAVE to give the sites my id/face scan.

it goes into effect july 25th. it'll probably effect here too, since this place allows mature content (tho not full on ns/fw)

i'm very distressed about it bc i might end up not even being able to talk to my internet friends. i don't really have any irl ones

if i have to disappear on most socials by then, you know why.

[sorrynopiforyou]

if you're in the uk like i am there IS a petition to sign on the official gov petitions website asking to consider repealing this law. it currently has almost 8k signatures and needs 10k in order for the government to even acknowledge it (and 100k for them to debate it)

idk if i can post it here but please... go sign it! and go write to your local mp if possible. they need to realize how dangerous this law is going to be for uk citizens online. it doesn't protect children, it's just privacy invading AND a huge security risk to boot

[sorrynopiforyou]

and if you are NOT in the uk, spread the word around! especially let any uk moots you know about it
