Kickstarter is hosting a product that parents of neurdiverse children are supposed to stick on their child's back.
That device will then beep every 8 seconds which is supposed to help the child to focus.
As a neurodiverse person, I can tell you that this device would not only ruin every chance of me focusing on anything, being forced to wear it would make me kill myself. I am not exaggerating here.
This is one of the worst forms of torture aimed directly at neurodiverse people I could imagine.
Here's a change.org petition to stop the sale of this: https://www.change.org/p/kickstarter-stop-kickstarter-from-allowing-child-abuse-of-neurodiverse-children
I doubt the petition will do much but the campaign does explicitly break a rule on kickstarter banning the sale of medical devices so maybe reporting it (it is linked in the petition) might help.

This is a good article on how to tell if you're virtue-signalling as opposed to doing praxis.

Lastpass just shot themselves in the foot
Also the Arturia Polybrute just made it to my list of dream synths I'd like to have before I die, along with a Roland Jupiter and a Yamaha DX7
The Arturia V collection is nice, but nothing really beats the feel of just turning knobs. Also, I couldn't afford the V collection either. I am happy with the Mini V3 and Stage-73V tho.
everything that cishet men love to make fun of that are enjoyed by women, NBs, and in fact just everyone not them, are all things that could empower those marginalized voices
*astrology: the ability to reflect on your good and bad traits, and to figure out where to improve yourself
*romance genre: healthy escapism from reality and a demonstration of happy relationships as well as an MC that often learned to find or use autonomy and free themselves
*hoe clothes, makeup, and thirst traps: especially when aggressively not framed for the male gaze, allowing us to reclaim our sexual and aesthetic identity independent of them
goddamn just everything comes back to power and domination and possession. just remember that any time someone needs to pick at your harmless, totally only for you interest. something about that likely leads to some form of empowerment for you and that threatens the bonds of patriarchy.
