So, in terrible news, Trump's trying to pull some strings to pass this massive internet censorship bill, featuring all the kinds of internet censorship we're terrified of, including mandatory ID for accessing basically any website, specifically to crush state regulation of AI, because apparently this man will always see the moral bottom of the barrel and start digging.

...all the way until the white and TME kids grow up to be adults, now with even more power to hurt and kill people, while many black and transfem kids never even had the chance to make it to adulthood...

...and the black and transfem kids who managed to survive until they're adults against all odds are then subjected to even more harm and murder by the very adults who were let off the hook when they were young because "they're just kids".

and this was the response from tumblr support:

someone At Tumblr @support looked at this, presumably read it in full, and decided that it's fine but maybe they should put a content label ??? content warning for bigotry ???

@staff it's so fucking embarrassing that you people have time to endlessly scrub trannies from the site and enable the culture of harassment here on diet kiwifarms, but I get this notification periodically.

do you know how easy this shit is to detect? it's two steps

make a table that's 1 column of text like "security alert" and "notification from the tumblr team"

write a one-line SQL query. select post_text, is_fraud from posts inner join fraud_phrases on posts.post_text like CONCAT('%',fraud_phrases.phrase,'%') where posts.staff_posts = 0

you'll have to toss in some more constraints to get the rate of false positives down, but I'd think tagging hundreds of random accounts in the comments is a pretty fucking easy signal to pick up on.

computers can hear dogwhistles did you know that

Uh, hi. Local annoying girl here, a lot of bills have come due in this past month and stretched my finances a lot thinner than I'm able to really handle. And, thanks to a bunch of recent doctor's appointments thanks to an ongoing saga of "thanks to my cat, there is currently a piece of glass stuck in my foot in a way that makes it hard to extract and we're still trying to get it out", uh. I'm pretty sure a lot more are going to crop up and require addressing.

That, and since the prices of my meds have skyrocketed this year thanks to my work's insurance changing the policy to one with an absolutely absurd deductible (and I think becoming less trans friendly), I'm stretched way thinner than I ever was last year, and won't be able to afford all of my upcoming bills and do other things like feed myself and take care of my cat through the month of April.

If I could raise $1000, I'd probably be able to weather all of this stuff coming through at once and have enough breathing room to deal with a few other ongoing problems in my life like my computer starting to overheat itself to death.

When it rains, it pours. The building management where I live want to up my rent by $150 come June 1st and I. I don't have any way to cover that kind of increase. Not now. Not any time soon. I barely manage to get by month to month as it is, amd there's just... nothing left to cut back on anymore to cover it.

I... if I could raise enough money to move out to somewhere cheaper, I could get myself into a better position, but... I really need the help even more now. Please.
