The existence of a minotaur suggests that there is an even larger maxotaur.

i'm looking at paying off some of my paypal credit by february 15 because there's only so long you can wait before those lyft rides and food orders stop being interest-free. if i can get just $150 within the next month then i can make the minimum deferred amount. $300 by march would be a stretch goal but literally anything helps!

I propose a personal challenge for 2019. Nothing major, but it might give you a little bit of perspective.

In 2019, try your best to avoid as much media as possible that is based on IPs created before, say, your date of birth. (For me, that would include “Star Wars” as well as Marvel and DC films.) Also try to avoid reboots, remakes, and “rebakes” (remakes disguised as reboots).

#FindNewStories and give them a chance. 👍

honey.church literally defines itself as an "anti-mogai exclusionist lgbt instance."

It's an instance dedicated to LGBT folks who hate other LGBT folks.

Hate groups deserve to be de-platformed. ✊

I'm queer. I love the word because to me it expresses the defiant spirit of LGBTQIA+ that I am most proud of when I march in pride.
It's not a word for everyone, and you don't need to use it to be defiant, you can be defiant while deciding for yourself what to call yourself instead of taking old slurs and turning them into armour as others do. It's all good tbh. Don't tell me I shouldn't be proud of my queerness, because you know what I tell cishets who tell me that and it has rude words in it

Or, howabout, imagine if police departments began creating profiles of people based on their interests exposed through internet data collection, and started pre-emptively monitoring and surveilling people who are "prone to crime". You can immediately imagine how this might be used to enforce hierarchies and systemic abuses.

It is, of course, one thing to educate people on how to migrate to and use technologies and platforms that _aren't_ selling us out; moving large communities over from Discord to e.g. IRC is incredibly nontrivial from a social standpoint.

The other part is we need to make people aware of how dangerous this data goldmining is for survival under capital. The only real example I can give is how insurance providers can, and probably do, use purchase data to hike premiums on at-risk people.

in 2010 i almost got a job at roblox but during the interview i accidentally revealed that i don't actually know what roblox is, at which point the interviewer headbutted me directly in the stomach, causing me to make an "oof" sound which they then sampled and put into the game
