Not using Twitter includes screenshotting your profile for the balloons animation.

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

The GFM is up now. With my mom in police custody & on ICE hold despite being in the US for nearly 3 decades, this puts me & my family in a very tough spot If you can, I ask y'all to send some love & support our way to help us fight for our mom's freedom from this unjust system. gofund.me/5506965b6

Hi everyone. I have some important & brutal news to share, a double-whammy at that. First, my mom was just detained by and I worry she may have an ICE hold. Physically, she is fine & I'll set up a GFM for her soon In the meantime, feel free to send support our way though Ko-fi ko-fi.com/chocomingo

I didn't manage to get much anything at work today. It is very hard to know if this is something I am doing wrong, or if I'm set up to fail, or something else. Jumbled mess of guilt, anxiety, sadness, and hurry. I'm not sure what to make of it. How can I make myself be better?

Recently I've been entertaining this idea of quitting my corpo job. I am pretty sure it is either the best idea I've ever had or the worst idea I've ever had. Feels... exhilarating? But also scary ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

I heard rustling behind the fence so I went to look. Then I heard rustling above me and was greeted by this little face! Turns out is was mama raccoon rustling behind the fence, and baby on top!

Got a call telling me about a death in the family and it has pushed me off the edge. I can't make myself open the work computer. I am not functional. I hope they fire me.

Some teenagers went by on a bike and I pointed out the owl to them and they started asking so many questions about owls! I got to teach these two middle school kids about owls and it warms my heart ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Maybe you think you are invulnerable to this (you are not), but the people who stay in Twitter because you are still sharing there are definitely being dragged to the right. I have so many mutuals who are still posting regularly there, and it's so disheartening to see. Please stop.

Evidence is already accruing that spending time on Twitter pulls ppl to the right, bc the algorithm feeds you horrible stuff. And again: academics are likely more vulnerable, bc they convince themselves they are less.

Turns out Edge lets you disable all the AI and other bullshit right from the settings. Did you hear that, Google? IT'S NOT HARD! Grrrrr I hate all this AI crap so much

It was true before AI, it is still true today: validate the SOURCE. There is no other way. If a video is posted by a zoo, licensed rehab, wildlife photographer, etc: Enjoy it! If it's posted by "randomdude284" or "cuteanimalvibes": It's probably AI/staged/stolen. Follow creators, block reposters!

On top of everything else, I really fucking HATE that I canโ€™t even watch a cute wildlife or animal video anymore without worrying that itโ€™s probably genAI ๐Ÿ˜ค
