Block rec.: aethy.com
aethy.com is rife with porn drawings of kids (lolicon, shotacon, whatever the furry equivalent is), rape fantasies, incest,... and I stopped looking there.

turtles, animal cruelty/exploitation
There's a bunch of youtube channels which are gluing barnacles and such to turtles and then recording them "helping" the turtle by scraping off the barnacles they put on them (which is painful for the turtle), then releasing the turtles into the ocean. Also, the turtles are usually freshwater species. So, basically turtles are being tortured and sentenced to death for youtube views.
meat

After all... why not. why shouldn't we write a mastodon client in Godot. I mean it would be native cross platform with open source.
Heyo, friends! I maintain a list of space opera novels by cisgender women, trans, & non-binary authors. Suggest works via the link, & share with everyone who might find it of use!

I tried to talk to the admins of mastodon.scot #Fediblock
They are unwilling to understand that they have created a cop-friendly space (there are actual police officers on that instance) and that this is at odds with the safety of queer people and other minorities
Scholar will be suspending that instance and recommending that others do so as well
Class Action Lawsuit for Seattle Renters
"Do you or did you since 2016 rent a Seattle apartment maintained by one of the following companies: Greystar, Trammell Crow Residential, Avenue5, Equity, Essex, FPI, Lincoln, Security Properties, AvalonBay or Thrive?"
If so, you can join a class action lawsuit against these companies for rent fixing.

PSA re: Mastodon 4.0 Interface, boosts appreciated
The new web interface includes a footer link to "Get the app", which leads to a page that heavily emphasizes the first-party Mastodon apps.
As a reminder, the first-party apps are intentionally missing core functionality (Local/Federated timelines, "unlisted" post privacy), and are a very poor user experience compared to third-party offerings.
If you're an admin, please consider editing your local instance's code to replace or remove this link.

* "free speech".
* Running Soapbox.
* Opal Hart, a historical shitbird and literal paedo, made her home there.
CW meta [for abled folks, whites (like me)]
We (abled people) finally managed to avoid shittiness to disabled people on here by insisting that *they* alt-text every image or media file. And it was good and peace followed.
If you can do that, then we (white people) can also avoid shittiness to racialized minorities by insisting that *they* Content Wrap their experience of racism.
Stop policing oppressed people's speech.

Hey, fellow white people.
If someone who doesn't look like you tells you something about the world or people that look like you that sucks, and it's not something you've experienced or done to anyone?
Instead of saying literally anything at all and/or instead of posting, close your mouth and/or step away from the keyboard, then open your mind to the possibility that you're not the main character of Earth: The Movie.
Only by recognizing how the world sucks can we work together to rebuild the world into one that sucks less. And that starts by listening to the people who are telling you how the world sucks for them.
US Judge rules LGBTQ not protected from discrimination in healthcare
US District judge in Texas rules that #LGBTQ persons are not protected from discrimination in #healthcare, based on a reading of section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act ("on the basis of sex" is the text). Biden admin interpreted this as including sexual orientation and gender identity; judge struck that down https://www.reuters.com/legal/us-judge-rejects-biden-administrations-lgbt-health-protections-2022-11-12/
