#quit instagram

Possibly the best cartoon figuratively illustrating opposition to the Musk-Trump régime.

By Portuguese artist Zez Vaz.

One thing everybody can do is to quit and delete broligarch social media. People who rant about Musk and Trump but still use Twitter/X and Facebook (and other Meta platforms) are being hypocritical. You empower the MAGA overlords just by being there.

Day one of quitting Instagram for at least a month challenge!

Who knows if I’ll keep this as a series or not but. I FEEL GOOD! It’s hard not going on it to do absolutely nothing, (usually I’d scroll endlessly as a trauma response, and also make drafts of stories and posts but be too anxious and unwell to post them at all. very unhealthy for me fr), but I’ve already felt myself being more productive and choosing better things for myself. Like today, I wrote a LOT about school and it was helpful for my psyche! I talked to my coffeehouse friend guy with a cool name, and to my old teacher who swore a lot (it was v funny). Did some online shopping with my mom and ALSO!!!! get this. Drew a BEAR. on. ProCreate. Can u believe??? I have been terrified of digital art because I haven’t been immediately amazing at it (LOL, gifted burnout syndrome anyone????) but I am so proud of my little guy I might post him here later, but I won’t worry abt it, and I’m also excited that I found a way to create digitally in a way that actually feels good, maybe? Todays been a good day! I also went out with my family to dinner (very fun, perfect salad, root beer, and my mom met a green beret). After that I took my brother on a walk and felt triggered by something at a bookstore, then lost my phone. I retrieved it from the restaurant. After that I had a meltdown in the car, got some clarity thanks to my mom, and went into the store to buy some things for myself, but my mom bought them for me :,)) so sweet. My family is really amazing and I’m glad to have them! I’ve got to just focus on the good, and meander into curiosity and excitement. A good life I’m to live now.

So, yeah. Pretty good first day offline of Instagram.

Days left: 28

Meta accused of ‘bowing’ to Trump by making abortion content harder to find

Democratic senator concerned after company is accused of ‘shadow-banning’ non-profits offering medication abortion

Mark Zuckerberg isn't just kissing Trump's ass, he's asking The Donald which shade of lipstick he should use when doing so.

Apparently Meta (Facebook, Instagram, Threads, etc.) is throttling information on abortion.

Senator Ruben Gallego has accused social media giant Meta of “presumptively bowing” to the Trump administration by making abortion-related content more difficult to find. Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, was accused of “shadow-banning” several non-profits who provide medication abortion to women in the US. “I am deeply concerned at the chilling effect that suppressing content related to abortion has towards women,” Gallego wrote in a letter sent to the company on Friday. “Women around the country rely on medicated abortion as safe and effective way to address deeply personal health decisions.” A dozen states across the south-east and midwest ban abortion. Four states ban the procedure past six weeks of gestation, before most women know they are pregnant. Non-profits, such as Aid Access, have responded by providing medication abortion to women in all 50 states using “shield laws” – protections passed by states friendly to reproductive rights that prevent healthcare providers from legal consequences in abortion-ban states. In Gallego’s letter, the senator describes how Aid Access had posts removed from Facebook and blurred on Instagram. The organization was also locked out of Facebook and briefly suspended from Instagram.

By using Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and other Meta platforms, you are supporting an affiliate of the MAGA propaganda machine. Zuck has gotten increasingly brazen in his support for Trump. It goes beyond the usual token kowtowing. He is an enthusiastic member of the MAGA Broligarchy.

Though there's a two letter difference between MAGA and META, the similarities are actually much closer than that.

I Quit Instagram for 24 Days

Memasuki postingan pertama di Bulan Syawal, izinkan saya mengucapkan:

ketika tangan tak mampu berjabat, ketika mata tak mampu bertatap, dan ketika-ketika lainnya. Sebening embun sekeruh hubunganmu sama mantanmu alias buthek, *dan kata-kata puitis lainnya* wkwkwk.

Taqabalallahu Minna Waminkum, Taqabal Yaa Karim. Selamat Hari Raya Idul Fitri 1439 H. Mohon Maaf lahir dan batin.
