France's "Me too" campaign may come with legislation
French Twitter is awash with #BalanceTonPorc — “expose your pig” — stories of sexual harassment and assault. Meanwhile, the gender minister is proposing fines for street harassment. https://www.vox.com/world/2017/10/18/16490818/france-me-too-weinstein-sexual-harassment
You Kant handle the subjective truth.
Here is a swing made out of an old tire, from southern Africa. It's common throughout, and friend tells me they had this at their primary school in Kenya https://octodon.social/media/K3BbRFjmGeyO0RswMb4
So now I've walked off my realname twitter account with a tweet that says "We are not the product"
I still have to keep the work related tweets going on a different account but that's focused on an entirely different continent where PoC are 97% majority so whatever, its manageable

poem reads you
and shows you ads
for flower shops
and tracks your clicks
and never stops

if privacy's harmed

when people are farmed
twitter is cyan
facebook is blue
your friends are the product
and so are you

One day I'll be grateful my daughter is an independent, iron-willed human with an unrelenting strong voice, but not today. Not in this grocery store. https://mastodon.social/media/W9J8s-y5nKDoSynxauk
1/ This dovetails with another set of ideas I'm slowly turning into an essay, maybe. Which is that one of the few powers we as individual citizens have in terms of reconfiguring our world is language itself.
In spite of how quiet Mastodon is, I think that's something that can work in its favor. What if it was able to replicate the most delicious parts of the early internet? Specifically the parts focused on creating not content but deeper connections, and not with thousands but with a small handful that became one another's community? (And by "what if it was able to replicate," I mean "what if *we* were," since the joy of Mastodon's quietness is, to some degree, in the possibilities that promises.
Now I know I'm in the future: Google Photos just offered me facial recognition for my pets.
