WOAH MAMA

Hi. I’m Ruby Rose. I’m batshit feral. (Bodily adult & pro-endo)

[red-like-ruby-rose]

Hey, everyone! My name is Ruby Rose. I'm a huntress, a beowolf faunus, and an intrpio Citizen in @societygrimm.

I'm weapongender, and I go by she/her and woof/woofs/woofself* pronouns, and masculine terms (like boy, man, handsome, etc.) (Link to pronouns.cc page)

I'm an autosexual objectum lesbian and I'm also polyamorous

My beloved objects are cookies and weapons, though I also really like most machinery and tech!

I'm super friendly and love talking to people, so please message me whenever you want!

Due to that I am bodily an adult, and that this blog will be NSFW at times, minor bodied people/systems should not interact.

Due to that we are extremely against exclusionism, any kind of exclusionist should also not interact!

(*I also use woof/woofs/woofself pronouns as third person identifiers)

Maybe it's just me as a Filipino who has lived through a murderous dictatorship and oligarchies in a queerphobic country controlled by the rich who brutalize grassroots pro worker movements all under the military abuse of US imperialism but...

You just gotta keep showing up. Support each other. Don't just fight for yourself. The work is hard, but you just gotta keep doing it. You'll always see results, even if they're not always the ones you want, or as big as you want them to be.

All your work always matters. Even if it doesn't feel like it at first. It always matters.

[guerrillatech]

[batboyblog]

it's true and you should say it.

[roycohn]

coming out of the tags to say that some of us have been saying this for years and have been called all manner of degenerates, perverts, and pedophiles over it, and we really deserve an apology we will never receive

[wolfmelon]

We DO deserve a fucking apology we'll never get, and not to soapbox, but lemme just throw out another fucking explanation of exactly why this shit keeps happening in the slim chance that it helps at least one person not fall for it: Fascism in ANY form will ALWAYS present itself as reasonable to YOUR sensibilities. It preys on a lot of things, your disgust reaction, your fear reaction, your own shame, your need for a tribe, your need to feel like you're part of something bigger than yourself, your need to protect your resources, your need to boost your own ego, your need to feel better than others, and in my opinion, the worst thing of all that it can prey on is your WANT TO DO GOOD. It turns that Want To Do Good against you, gives you "acceptable targets" and sets you loose, thinking that you're being a fucking super hero. Fascism will ALWAYS feel okay when you're doing it because you understand why you're doing it because you've been told why you should be doing it by someone who's fucked the narrative to make you feel good about hurting other people because they've convinced you that you are protecting people by doing it!! Fascism tells you: "The sort of people who value a sex scene in a movie are perverts, and perverts are dangerous, right? Oh god... What if they're a rapist and that's why they like that sort of stuff? Yeah, that trans girl that made that post about movies needing sex scenes... She pisses in a diaper, that's fucking disgusting right? And she likes weird fiction... And diapers are meant for kids... So... Yeah... Exactly, you got it! See you figured out what she was too! So you should trust your gut with these people, you're really good at spotting them! You know when someone is evil! And you DEFINITELY should not listen to a pervert explain themselves, because... Right, exactly, what's the point? They're just going to lie about it and probably say gross shit to you." Did you catch how that worked? It let YOU make the conclusion. It let YOU answer the questions and start setting shit in stone in your own mind. And the next thing you know, you're using fiction as proof, anything outside of your own comfort levels as evidence, you've become an emotionally reactionary fascist who genuinely believes you are making the world better, and safer, for the people you love, and who love you in return. Fascism doesn't begin with violence, it begins with a kind hand held out in your direction from someone else who believes they're helping. You might not even realize you've fucked up. Ever. That's how it works. That's how it thrives.

[quinloki]

I'm going to say this knowing that I could get some push back from people who follow me, but if you've fallen into the whole proship/anti-ship discourse and you're on the anti-shipper side of things, then you're on the slide.

You're heading toward that fascist mindset, because the whole purity culture/anti-ship mindset is designed to do specifically that.

It's designed to make you feel like the Good Person doing the Good Things being the Good and Sensible One Standing Against all The Bad Things. And chances are part of it is because someone told you proshippers are pedophiles, or whatever - they might not have even said anything concrete and just let the implication hang there.

I'm not a fan of proship vs antiship just because stuff like that gets distilled down into very simple statements, and oftentimes simplicity loses the plot. But after a couple years I will say seeing "proshippers DNI" in someone's bio will cause me to either block them, or step back from them.

It makes me nervous because even if they're not actively being aggressive, they've got a foot on the slide and that's an easy slip. I've watched too many people go down that slide, and I've had my arm dislocated trying to help some of 'em.

And look, there's assholes everywhere. Every group, every ideal, every nook and cranny you can possibly find for people has assholes. If you're letting the assholes cause you to Other an entire group of people

You're On The Slide.

The sooner you come to terms with that, the sooner you can make changes, the less it's going to suck balls for you and everyone else.

[sterlinggothdarlings]

Told my doctor and therapist about how the AI "trying to determine my age" will expose all the HIPPA covered private information that has passed through gmail and all the medical advice youtube videos they had linked over the years and the response was instantly I will contact the other doctors here and lodge a formal complaint about it to HIPPA Try this, tell your local librarians, teachers, doctors. Most people have not heard about this yet, that's how it is passing

omg I forget the US has actual institutions that work for the good of the people

Ice suggesting a white woman remove the Mexican flag sticker from her car. Can they all kill themselves already

[multyfangirl16]

Folks please please remember that ICE agents are still fellow humans and 1 of the better ways to get them to stop is to change the laws, talk to/email your law makers.

If you're going to protests remember the previous ones have burned through their good will and they stopped giving out free passes for breaking the law. Please listen to them when they say not to be in certain areas that are sometimes marked.

Remember that doxxing is affecting their families and that's putting children and non-ICE agents at risk and that's also part of the reason their good will to protesters are gone for the most part.

[partypuppy-nastja]

PSA in the 1930s:

Folks please please remember that Gestapo are still fellow humans and 1 of the better ways to get them to stop is to change the laws, talk/write your law makers. If you're going to oppose them, remember the Oster Circle burned through the Gestapo's good will and they stopped giving out free passes for breaking the law. Please listen to them when they say not to be in certain areas that are sometimes marked. Remember that doxxing is affecting their families and that's putting children and non-Gestapo agents at risk and that's also part of the reason their good will to dissidents is gone for the most part.

Alternatively, and unironically now:

Yes, dehumanization is the tool of the enemy; let's not use it

ICE agents are fellow humans—bad ones, doing ethnic cleansing

You can do direct action and call your representatives

Good will does not show up fully militarized and start black-bagging people

If you think doxxing ICE agents affects their families, wait until you find out what ICE agents are doing to very many more families

Evil must be opposed

Saw this posted a while back and did some research so we can know what we’re talking about when we call!

Knowledge is power!

IODA BILL: reintroduced bill for 2022 criminalization of basically all porn

FADPA BILL: Foreign Anti-digital piracy act it gives companies like Nintendo and others who love to whine about piracy the ability to have those sites blocked which sounds like block beard!

ACPA ACT: (if you look this one up make sure you type bill after because this is also the name of a conference.)another anti piracy bill! Literally very little difference!

The reason there are so many repeat or same kinda bills is because they are throwing things at the wall to see what sticks! They know that their constituents don’t like them right now especially after the last big bill they passed! The government on both sides seems to know their voters are getting more and more angry; have you seen videos of town halls recently? The people are fed up with this administration so they know that whatever was their main goal in project screw America ,oh I mean, 2025 done fast and reckless. And yeah kosa is bipartisan but that’s because democrats and republicans are all the same they just wear different colors!

Democrats have been failing to do anything until time is basically running out! Because they didn’t care! If the republicans look bad the conservatives will lose votes! They let this crap happen for votes!!!

And republicans just love money power and hate their constituents! But they know that it’s only a matter of time before they get voted out.

So keep calling they are all scared of losing so much so make them more scared! I don’t mean threatening them but call them and voice your concerns, visit them in person seriously you can do that! And keep the heat cranked up to high! And even if any of these pass keep going because a bill passing doesn’t stop the fight it only makes it so we have to fight harder!

[notebooks-and-laptops]

Something terrifying about the way censorship is just straight up happening right now and they're barely trying to pretend that isn't what it is. The UK rolling out the Online Safety Act which forces anyone accessing 'adult' content (including discord, LGBT+ forums, various resources for drug addicts etc.) to share their face and ID with American third party companies, and refusing to debate a repeal in parliament despite 300,000 signatures on their own website to do so. Something fishy going on with Google docs suddenly deleting/restricting content. Itchio and Steam suddenly deleting 18+ games including both porn games and horror games at the behest of Mastercard.

Like. Truly in the past month the censorship is hitting like a truck and we're all just supposed to be fine with it. Like. It's genuinely making me feel sick.

FDA warns public not to eat possibly radioactive shrimp sold at Walmart

The FDA is warning the public not to eat, sell or serve certain Great Value raw frozen shrimp sold at Walmart due to possible contamination

The Food and Drug Administration is warning the public not to eat, sell or serve certain Great Value raw frozen shrimp sold at Walmart due to possible contamination with Cesium-137, a radioactive isotope.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection alerted the FDA about possible Cesium-137, or Cs-137, detected in shipping containers at four U.S. ports, the FDA said Tuesday in a press release. Testing on frozen shrimp from the distributor, Indonesia's BMS Foods, also tested positive, the FDA said.

However, no shrimp that has tested positive for Cesium-137 has entered the U.S. food supply, according to the FDA.

The FDA is still recommending a recall on all products from BMS Foods that were shipped after the company's shipping containers tested positive for Cesium-137, even though the products themselves have not tested positive.

The following Great Value brand frozen shrimp products should not be eaten, sold or served:

Great Value brand frozen raw shrimp, lot code: 8005540-1, Best by Date: 3/15/2027

Great Value brand frozen raw shrimp, lot code: 8005538-1, Best by Date: 3/15/2027

Great Value brand frozen raw shrimp, lot code: 8005539-1, Best by Date: 3/15/2027

From the Youtube Boycott Discord Server:

IMPORTANT INFO

I've been seeing a lot of misunderstanding going around about how YouTube works, and what will work best in regards to the boycott, so l wanted to put it all together in one place for everyone to read. This is just my understanding of how this all works, so as always with anything, take it with a grain of salt! YOUTUBE INFO

Continuing to watch YouTube with an ad blocker still gives YouTube traffic. Many people have been using ad blockers for years, and it is something YouTube is already very familiar with. Even if it does cost them ad revenue, they will point to ad blockers as the issue rather than listening to concerns about their age verification system. Watching YouTube with an ad blocker will not work for the purposes of this boycott.

Using third-party apps such as FreeTube or NewPipe does still give YouTube traffic and counts towards views and watch time. There are extra privacy features with these apps, which is great, but on Youtube's end it is functionally the same as using ad blockers. Using third-party apps to watch YouTube will not work for the purposes of this boycott.

Watch time is a huge factor (to my knowledge, one of if not the biggest factors) in how much profit YouTube makes. The longer you stay on their website

namely, the longer you're actively watching videos - the more money they earn through ad revenue. So, for example, a single user watching a 30 minute video is much more valuable to them than a single user watching a 5 minute video. Video watch time matters much more than video views, or the amount of traffic they get from users sitting on the YouTube homepage.

Something to remember is that it is okay not to be perfect. Having an all-or-nothing mindset will just lead to burnout, and giving up on the boycott too early. So, in the spirit of progress rather than perfection, here are some steps to take:

1 - Cancel YouTube Premium. If you currently have a YouTube Premium subscription, cancel it, and tell them why.

When you cancel, leave them a message explaining that you are canceling because of the new age verification policy, and state firmly that you will not be paying for or using YouTube until this policy is revoked. Even if you plan to use YouTube again in the future, tell them that you won't.

2 - Download videos rather than streaming them. Fully boycotting YouTube is the single best thing you can do right now, but if that isn't possible, here is what you can do instead to avoid giving YouTube more watch time.

Search the specific channels that you want - or, if you must, browse your subscription tab and homepage - until you find the video you want to watch. Rather than opening it, right-click the video and hit 'copy link' or whatever similar option your browser has. Then, paste the link into your YouTube Downloader of choice, and enjoy. To my knowledge, watching videos this way will not give YouTube videos views or watch time. It will still give the website traffic overall, but is still a solid alternative to just streaming the videos.

3 - If you can, stop using YouTube altogether. Refusing to give their website any traffic at all is the single best thing you can do to protest right now. If you cannot stop using it entirely due to work, or if there are a few specific things you want to keep up with, use downloaders as mentioned above, but keep YouTube usage to an absolute minimum as much as possible.

4- try to get YouTubers to contact youtube YouTubers are our few ways to get direct contact with YouTube. If we can get YouTubers to start contacting youtube about reversing this ID policy, than we can increase our chances to reverting the policy

5 - Spread the word.

Share info about the age verification system and the boycott to as many others as you can. Many people might not be aware of what's going on, or how to meaningfully protest it. Be prepared for pushback. It's completely normal to feel nervous when speaking up about something like this. There will very likely be some people who get irritated or disagree, and that is okay. Remember - don't attack anyone who disagrees with the protest. Don't try to guilt-trip anyone. Shame is a demotivator - making someone feel bad will not do anything to convince them. Just present your concerns about the age verification system, offer resources to learn more about it, and talk about the boycott. TALKING POINTS When spreading the word about the boycott, here are a few things to focus on:

The A.l. age estimation system is incredibly inconsistent and will end up incorrectly locking many adult users out of the full features of their accounts.

Any system that requires users to upload a picture of their government I.D. is extremely dangerous. This puts all users at massive risk of their personal data being exposed on a level that has never been seen before.

The age verification system does not protect children. This system does nothing to address the mountains of harmful content already found on the YouTube Kids app, and it will not effectively prevent kids from accessing that harmful content.

LGBT+ content will get incorrectly marked as 'adult' and will be censored as a result of this system. Teens and kids will be prevented from accessing LGBT content, even if it is 100% appropriate.

• Youtube's age verification system is not about safety, it is about data collection and censorship. It is extremely likely that the real motive behind this change is to allow YouTube as a company to collect even more personal data from its users, allowing them to serve even more targeted ads and make more profit, while also effectively censoring content they do not like.

Lastly - protesting the changes made to You Tube is going to be difficult.

It is going to be frustrating, it is going to be exhausting, and it is also going to be boring.

Going without a major source of

entertainment that, for many of us, has been part of our daily routine for years, is a very hard thing to do.

But it is also important.

No one can tell you what to do. It is your personal choice whether you boycott YouTube partially, entirely, or even participate at all. If this is important to you, know that it will be hard, and it will take a long time to see any success.

This was posted in the youtube boycott discord server by Admin TopHatInc and much of it was compiled by NoHotBeverages.

So in addition to KOSA making a return (CALL YOUR CONGRESS PERSON AND TELL THEM TO VOTE AGAINST IT BTW!!!) the Senate has just introduced TWO internet censorship bills!

The Block Bad Electronic Art and Recording Distributors Act (Block BEARD Act)

And the equally ridiculous and ineffective Foreign Anti-Digital Piracy Act

Both of these acts seek to force Internet Service Providers to block access to foreign piracy websites. The Electronic Frontier Foundation has said this is ridiculous and ineffective, that site-blocking bills only serve to censor the internet and make it more unsafe for everyone. AND THE'YRE RIGHT!!!

Piracy has existed until the dawn of time. And pirates will find ways around bills like these with no issue. But these bills are still dangerous and essentially pave the way for your ISP to block whatever our government thinks is "Objectionable". These DINOSAURS who dont understand the internet have no BUSINESS creating legislation around it. This is a bald faced attempt to block the internet for users for corporate gain. Wanna know how I know that?

The people that have endorsed the bill

Are all

People

Who

Would benefit from a bill like this. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES!! TELL THEM YOU DO NOT SUPPORT EITHER OF THESE BILLS! OR KOSA WHILE YOURE AT IT! TELL THEM YOU OPPOSE INTERNET CENSORSHIP IN ALL FORMS!

We will not sit idly by while these GHOULS try and block and censor a free Internet!

Some users report Firefox scoffing CPU power

: You guessed it: looks like it's a so-called AI

Mozilla, in its finite wisdom, embedded LLM bots into recent versions of Firefox for the vitally-important purpose of… naming tab groups. Now, some users are noticing CPU and power usage spikes caused by a background process called Inference.

Ugh. Reminder again for Firefox users to visit your about:config page, search for the browser.ml.chat.enabled key, and set that to false:

If yours says true then double-click it until it reads false.

Doing that turns off the AI chatbot features in Firefox, but also the stupid new LLM tab-naming feature that's rolling out.

[frogliftcertified]

While you're at it, disable browser.ml.enable and extensions.ml.enabled as well in addition to the option above, which will hopefully take care of most machine-learning ("AI") features.
