From my PV on Jan 11, 2020

"also watch how ppl use 'woke'. im not woke LOL.

and ppl who talk about 'wokeness' these days are doing it negatively and often its a dogwhistle for anti-blackness."

I think I said on PV ages ago that while this place, in spirit, is meant to be the forum for fun & also political discourse, a new age for sm, but it's just recycling the same issues.
It's not going to change bc ppl haven't changed. I came here bright eyed & bushy tailed & now I'm a negative nancy.

I saw a post abt using 'woke' & that's been done many times to PV mods & users, & thats the tamest of insults as far as antiblackness on here goes.

i see the new masto update comes w a check mark on notifications, idk what its supposed to do

and a notification bell for when someone posts

is this youtube or masto?

who asked for this? we want blocks that block, suspensions that protect the suspender and 'block domains' that actually blocked them

i hit block domain not mute it ffs

“We believe in *science*” is a very annoying slogan for many reasons, not least because it’s just the liberal version of “facts don’t care about your feelings”

"A new research project is looking to explore how autistic people feel about ABA interventions they have experienced, how they describe their experiences, and what factors influence how they feel. For more info and to join, go here: https://abaresearch.wixsite.com/autistic-views-aba "

German article about how Israel is getting more COVID-19 vaccines in a single month than Germany will probably get in three months, despite Israel just having a fraction of Germany's population ..

.. because Israel is paying almost twice as much per dose ($18 vs $30).

Sometimes you see something that reminds you how much of a dystopia we really do live in

Tonight it was an ad from Dr Pepper (as in the soft drink, yes) about their $2M tuition giveaway

The rich and powerful, the ruling class, the capitalists, the bourgeoisie, whatever you want to call them, they have it within their means to save the world, to change everything and they choose not to, but rather give us these crumbs for which we dance like puppets on a string for their amusement

Dr Pepper doesn't care about you and neither does whoever eventually owns that brand

But they're probably laughing right now

i want a restaurant where they serve you mcdonalds burgers but it’s slower to come and more expensive and they pay their staff well and it’s free for enbys

White Anthony Warner takes out a city block in a terrorist suicide bombing, US media: "He died in a blast".

Black Tamir Rice holds a piece of plastic in a park, gets murdered by cops: demonized.

Neofeud 2 involves massive unionization, revolts in the street for marginalized folks, post-capitalist worker coops, federation of those co-ops, and ultimately world(s)-wide general strikes against cyberpunk dystopian capitalist hellscape. Hope to finish in 2021!

it's possible to accept something about a person without understanding it
