in one hand: glowing orb with swirling text that reads "pridefest was essentially a state fair with better music, a smattering of queer activism and a dope craft fair"

in the other: another glowing orb that reads "pridefest is sellout bullshit designed for straight people to gawk at while eating carnival food and feeling better about themselves"

i smash the orbs together to attempt to fuse them into one complex opinion. sparks fly. ozone crackles. my hands melt the fuck off

New research on how kids from lower socio-economic status communities think about digital privacy. I’m not surprised these kids have a much more nuanced and powerful understanding of privacy than most in tech. They think of the lack of digital privacy as structural discrimination which is a far more powerful framework than the individual responsibility model everyone else uses. http://journals.sagepub.com/eprint/x5QQDiq34kP8X6hsUR7I/full (open access!)

My fave villager from Animal Crossing is Kitt (Poquette, in French, which is a deformation of "Pocket"!)

She's always super nice. Also, she was the first villager that gave me a photo of themselves back when I played Wild World.

I'm glad she was in the town I got in New Leaf! I hope I get her picture in this town too.

the answer to many of the questions about harassment is "rely on your instance admin" - but right now, visibility on how to pick an instance is so low, you could very easily not know:

- who your admin is
- what the CoC for your instance is
- how soon can you expect a response

idea: bioshock but instead of all the splicers being mental illness caricatures, they're Get Out style caricatures of white fragility/hostility drawn from the lived experiences of the game's exclusively non-white writers.

one of the rhetorical moves to be careful of is all the outlets saying that we dropped the bomb "on isis"

It's not that they're wrong about who the bomb struck, it's that they're redefining "isis" to mean "all those people in that place."

a big part of violent orientalism is lumping vastly different people up into the same groups and races and beliefs. that's the nature of islamophobia.

we pretend they aren't human and we're more okay with it
