I've been patiently waiting for https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/library/proposal-eu-kids-act-eu-keeping-internet-digital-spaces-accountable-and-trustworthy to come back online so I can keep working on IFTAS' advocacy for carveouts/protections for independent social web operations vis-a-vis the KIDS Act. I'd been assuming the various cybersecurity issues of the past week had impacted access but I finally had the bright idea to see if somehow it was me that was th...

I once freaked out a boss at work by casually announcing "I think we need to call the hazmat team." After a pregnant pause I continued, "Clearly a tanker-load of stupid has crashed into and tainted the local water supply for the entire town, and it now appears to also be contagious." It took five seconds for them to finally snap out of crisis management mode and realize I was being a smartass. In my defense, (some) people were being extra fucking stupid that day.

(via New Neighbours) "De racistische terreuraanslag in Parijs is geen toeval. Al langer neemt het ongelimiteerd haatzaaien naar moslims, immigranten en mensen van kleur walgelijke proporties aan. Terwijl alles (terecht) uit de kast wordt gehaald om antisemitisme te bestrijden, blijft het doodstil over het rabiate racisme dat van sommige media, politieke partijen en influencers druipt. Wij willen dat er veel meer tegendruk wordt gegeven door politici en media van wie we dat zouden mogen...

We wish the Brazilian people a lot of strength during these crucial elections. :solidarity: If #Bolsonaro wins, #fascism is not only given free rein in Latin America, but all over the world. But even then, fascism will not win. Never! And if #Lula wins, fascism is not gone. It's a start, but the fight continues! So whatever happens, join your local anti-fascist collective and continue the fight! :antifa: #Brazil #Brasil #Fascismo #antiFascism #Antifascismo
