media depictions of hacking are so funny because it's all like dudes in hoodies with Anonymous masks in pitch darkness, and when you actually meet these ppl you realize 90% of hacking happens in one of these two rooms:

this is true

Reminder that fat disabled people exist and have a sexuality.

Reminder that fat disabled people can be queer. They can be bi, pan, lesbian, gay, ace. They can be trans. They can be loud and provocative, or gentle and soft. Fat disabled people can be desired and can also desire. They can be saucy, and flirtatious. They can feel at home in their own bodies, and they can make love to themselves. Fat disabled people can be seductive, and surprising. They can attract men, or women, or any gender beyond, combined, or in between. They can enjoy what they look like in the mirror, or in risque clothes.

Fat disabled people can love the feel of their body pressed to another's, or be turned on when their partner writes a smutty text to them. They can be bold or inhibited, they can be coy. Fat disabled people can feel sexy when they move from their mobility devices to the bed. They can feel hot in their sex swings, and on their wedges, or using their canes. They can feel sexy when their partners fingers sink into the flesh of their thighs, and bellies, and buttocks. Fat disabled people can be kinky. They can be dominant, submissive, or switch.

Fat disabled people have the full spectrum of sexuality, because fat disabled people are human beings with agency over their bodies.

They are not as high-profile as the WGA, but I would like to bring everyone's attention to the imminent strike action by thousands of hotel workers in Los Angeles. They are set to go on strike tomorrow, July 1st, 2023.

More than 15,000 hotel workers are seeking higher pay, better benefits, and working conditions. This includes an across-the-board $5 an hour raise, as well as affordable healthcare and better pensions. They also are seeking a ban on the use of E-Verify, which is used to deny employment to undocumented workers and workers involved with the criminal justice system. You can follow what is happening at their Twitter.

I have never felt so validated in never having given up on Tumblr.

IT GETS WORSE!

"This is hilarious. It appears that Twitter is DDOSing itself. The Twitter home feed's been down for most of this morning. Even though nothing loads, the Twitter website never stops trying and trying. In the first video, notice the error message that I'm being rate limited. Then notice the jiggling scrollbar on the right. The second video shows why it's jiggling. Twitter is firing off about 10 requests a second to itself to try and fetch content that never arrives because Elon's latest genius innovation is to block people from being able to read Twitter without logging in. This likely created some hellish conditions that the engineers never envisioned and so we get this comedy of errors resulting in the most epic of self-owns, the self-DDOS. Unbelievable. It's amateur hour."

So he artificially limited the number of tweets you can see per day with a "free" account.

Once you hit your limit, it stops you from loading the page. But it also doesn't know WHY it isn't loading, so it keeps TRYING.

Twitter is literally hitting itself in the face ten times per second per user.

This is so completely amateurish it's unbelievable. It's like putting your car in neutral and slamming your foot on the gas until your engine redlines and then wondering why it's making a horrible noise and a terrible smell but not going anywhere.

Got a start on my Sunny Nwazue (from Nnedi Okorafor’s books) transplanted a Fashionista head to a Made To Move body. She’s likely to commandeer the soccer players outfit. I have another Fashionista waiting for a body that will match. @sistahfromanotherplanet https://www.instagram.com/p/BqdKjlygfD-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gb82b1wnzg03

sick of other trans people looking like a deer in the headlights when reminded that amabs can be nb too. there are really still people in our own community who think a nonbinary person is like. a woman wearing jeans

i've had people treat me visibly different after hearing my voice or seeing my face as if i'm some sort of predator or interloper. this attitude towards amab trans people especially nonbinary people really paints a picture of what the lgbt community thinks of gender in general
