From the heart comes a warning

Filled with bloody good cheer

Remember what happened

As the 14th draws near…

Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.

If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.

Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.

Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.

I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.

Can't Have Nice Things

The Ketamine King Musk has shutdown the IRS's Free Tax Filing system.

Of all the things a government could off, a way to Freely calculate and file your taxes seems like a good one. But the richest man in the world thinks we shouldn't have that.

Foragers (2022, Jumana Manna 🇵🇸)

Za’atar and akkoub are popular herbs in Palestinian culture and cuisine. In 1977, however, Ariel Sharon declared za’atar a ‘protected plant’, rendering its foraging, possession or trade a criminal offense. Akkoub suffered a similar fate when it was labelled protected in 2005. Those who pick za’atar and akkoub subsequently became lawbreakers and in many cases were indicted and convicted. The picking of za’atar and akkoub, nonetheless, continues while many regard it as an act of resistance. (src)

cis and perisex allies laughing about the executive order that technically categorizes everyone as female due to determining your legal sex on what it is on conception, because all zygotes start out as female until male sex characteristics form in utero

im glad you think it's funny that our government is so idiotic to base your legal sex on when you were a cluster of cells. it frustrates me that sometimes the activism of liberals only goes so far to say "PFFFT those idiots just made everyone legally female cos they don't know all fetuses start out as female! 🤣"

meanwhile it really doesn't fucking matter what they wrote in the executive order, because they know what they mean. and what they mean is if you had a vagina at birth you're a female. if you had a penis at birth you're a man. intersex people get fucked. trans people get fucked. nonbinary people don't exist. it doesn't matter what the executive order says in writing because this is all in bad faith and they're going to keep doing what they've always been doing. it's not like lawyers are gonna pick it apart, no one cares. and the words of their stupid fucking order just show how they know absolutely nothing about it.

but I'm glad you think it's funny

genuinely so scary that you can't access the page on the ssc website that guides you through changing your sex designation. so so fucking scary. they are already making our lives harder. they are already taking what little resources we have.

Also btw trump recognizing only "the two biological sexes" harms intersex people too. I am a researcher of sex and it's affects on disease, and sex is far more complicated than "two sexes" and it always will be. Sex is multifaceted and there are far more than two binary sexes. Keep that in mind too. Don't fall into bioessentialism as you fight for trans people and intersex people.
