Everybody should see A Question of Silence
Criterion has a playlist called "the female gaze" with a bunch of great films by women filmmakers, most of them actively covering or touching on feminist topics.

Heres your reminder to use literally anything but chrome
And here's your reminder that Firefox actively works to protect your privacy and prevent tracking.
Firefox also has “Facebook fence” which is used to contain Facebook into isolated tabs that prevent tracking as you browse, since so many sites have social media plugins/ads that help collect data for Facebook and other apps.
You can tell Firefox to fence in Facebook in the browser preferences. Also a good time to change your search engine to DuckDuckGo and leave Google search behind (or only use it with another browser that’s separate from daily use).
The EFF (OP of the tweet) has various types of privacy tools that they’ve created. Some are browser plugins. I recommend going to their site to learn more about internet privacy and advocacy (and donating a few bucks if you can spare it). https://www.eff.org/pages/tools
Firefox is SO important. And if it doesn't fill 100% of your needs? Don't use it 100% of the time. Firefox is my main browser. I also have Chrome, and use it sparingly, as needed.
This is also useful if you're not ready yet to fully switch over. Download Firefox. Toy around with it. Put the icon right next to Chrome. Switch up which browser you open. Wean yourself off Chrome.
Whatever percent of the time you DON'T use Chrome, that is a percentage of your data Google DOESN'T GET TO EXPLOIT.

The American Ballet Theatre is debuting its first same-sex pas de deux tonight, performed by Calvin Royal III and João Menegussi. A snippet of the performance has been circulating on TikTok (above), and it’s so beautiful, I was moved to tears. I tried to capture the tenderness of these thirty seconds in charcoal and pencil as best as I could. (Below.)

King Gizzard: *contemplates why a significant portion of their fans are neurodivergent*
King Gizzard: *writes songs that go like this*
I just love seeing people I follow go through hyperfixations. Like, “you go, you little neurodivergent maniac”, as I scroll past 15 reblogged posts in a row of the same scene but in different gif sets with tiny different nuances.
