"For anyone reading this, I want to make sure you have a strong understanding of consent and feel confident in your ability to #consent or withdraw consent as needed." https://prostasia.org/blog/a-primer-on-consent/ #InternationalDayOfConsent
@w7voa I am now totally convinced he really is autistic. He says whatever is on his mind (to his own detriment)
@9to5Mac this isn't Twitter. You can say "fuck"
Every now and then, technologists are able to translate their strongly held beliefs into action for the benefit of society. Sometimes these actions result in new features, apps or platforms but it's especially powerful when this happens at the protocol level.
In the latest episode of Dot Social I talk with @evan about how he helped get #ActivityPub started, how it's going, and what he hopes for next. Check it out here.

"Elon Musk on Tuesday briefly posted—and then deleted—a meme to his social media platform X referencing the widely discredited far-right 'Pizzagate' conspiracy theory" https://www.forbes.com/sites/brianbushard/2023/11/28/elon-musk-endorses-debunked-pizzagate-conspiracy-theory-again/
@violetmadder @sleepfreeparent @Pineywoozle @marcelias Let's not forget. Biden promised $1200 stimulus/survival pandemic checks if Democrats won the Georgia senate race. Then they gave us $600.
Also, I just saw this really good twitter thread today https://twitter.com/AshleyLatke/status/1728824072984031344
@veirling @Willow@stranger.social @DEDGirl @violetmadder @sleepfreeparent @Mary625 @marcelias two things that don't help. 1. democrats having such a stranglehold on the american public and the american public gullibly being fooled into thinking democrats give a shit about us (spoiler: they don't). 2. the democrats, who are currently in power, are willingly allowing the Palestinians to be massacred by the terrorist state of Israel.
@thepoliticalcat typical right wing bullshitter 🙄
@aardvark @marcelias you're really naive if you think Democrats protect rights. (They don't) Democrats are beholden to their rich donors. They hate the average american. Especially marginalized populations like sex workers
@Raz the donly danger I see is easily brainwashed cultists like you. Please don't breed.
@dragonsidedd @marcelias it's literally not. Here's how voting works:
- A vote for Trump is a vote for Trump.
- A vote for Biden is a vote for Biden.
- A non-vote is a vote for nothing because it's a vote that doesn't exist.
- A vote for [insert whoever] is a vote for [insert whoever]
Absolutely baffling that people are too retarded to understand this. 🤯
@marcelias Also, Democrats are right-wingers that hate the American people just like the Republicans. Fuck them both.
@marcelias that's not how voting works.
