Today is a Good Day to love and Black Lives Matter

You will feel tempted by FOMO, you will feel bullied by Discord. You will be peer pressured to the ends of the earth. Do not do it. Do not allow them full access to you, and do not let them normalize this utter horseshit. We deserve anon spaces. We deserve the internet, it's ours.

Like this shit is TERRIFYING.

Whistleblower on Reddit rage-blogs about how the food delivery company he worked for as a developer is ripping customers AND drivers off.

Main post screenshotted here in case it gets yanked; the whole thread is worth a read.

Decided to use these drawings of my oc Minerva as key poses and animate her!

The outrage has proven to me these conservatives who are angry dont actually know ANYTHING about Superman ,cause not only is he an immigrant ,he is a figure of kindness and while it can be forgotten a fighter for social justice

His arch foe is a rich industrialist who was also President

He fights against the bigots

He fights the fascists

Hes a figure of kindness who brings hope to those who need hope

The only reason a fascist EVER agrees to a debate (and the reason they continue to demand them) and that they count on two things: an unprepared opponent and a platform to further their own message.

No one is immune to propaganda, but by knowing how it works and remembering to think critically and fact-check the claims you come across, you can be better prepared and less likely to be duped into agreeing with or passing on bad information and bigotry.

Btw, I've gotten a LOT of traction with conservative folks with this story when I've told it, to the point of some fairly right wing people even agreeing with the much stronger position of "yeah, and why the fuck should you need a court order just to change your name either?" It hits all the right notes of absurdity, and of the government and other institutions intrusively reaching into other people's lives, while also demonstrating that that overreach is a clear attack on people with traditional values too. I always present it as "Now, look, I know it's not as fashionable for a woman to take her husband's name anymore or whatever, but she should at least be able to if she wants to, right?" and I don't even get people trying to argue slippery slope about it, most folks we just jump all the way onto the "preferred names are an issue of freedom" train.
