"iOS 27 beta 5 includes code references for an “Apple Reference Image” system that can embed provenance metadata into iPhone photographs at the point of capture — enabling users to prove where the photo originated" This is just spin for tracking and surveillance tech that will dox someone, hell no

I guess we're just ignoring how ads are so invasive now, they'll use an algorithm to guess when a person's manic to maximize how much they buy At some point, yal will have to accept that billionaires hoarding resources is why shit like harassing advertising exists, so stop hitting up poor people 🫩

Hm...getting suspended from threads is starting to sound like it was for the best 😬

***ABSOLUTELY*** NOT

Because of how I grew up, I've been slowly unthreading more aspects of myself, forcing myself to sit with the discomfort of uncertainty so I can develop who I am without the pressure of survival and my parent's abusive expectations centered/influencing that process It's scary as hell lmao

It didnt occur to me until this moment that the hypervisibility, and the surveillance necessary to enable it, is something I endured since birth in 91 For a lot of folk, America's expansion of its standard policy with Black folk GENUINELY is their first experience of this Idk how to feel about it

lgbtqreligiousarchives.org Ohhhhh my god, I have SO MUCH to dig through on this website!!!!

I'm so extremely nervous by the idea of replacing the wool tongue I ripped out of my old (new enough frfr) Moxi Jacks that I seriously considered just...getting another pair of boots and not worrying anymore about how the fuckers cause me allergy issues 😩

I don't even like Usher - my ass is STILL mad at how he treats women - but was that WHITE MAN in Black face at the beginning?!

Im somehow both this and the opposite and didn't realize it until I went to FAMU When I drop my real accent, I sound more like my dad and folks think I'm from Jersey Soon as folks hear my real accent? Suddenly I GOTTA be from the Carolinas or DEEP South Georgia - my mom's folks I'm from Florida 😂

I still remember that whole veteran/us military Miguel O'Hara and, as feral as I still am for the character, the fandom is....... Let's just say it was ground zero for A LOT of weird fascist shit folks pretended weren't fascist until shit got worse around them or everybody blocked each other enough

I'm ngl, istg that last art looks like this to me in emotion and like, it's great art, but I'm trying so hard not to imagine this in some big burly Qunari voice rn 😭

Twitter is already a ghost town, so idk how he expects to sustain Twitter without paying folk to be there frfr

I don't believe in betting sites But if there's EVER a bet on whether Elon is fucking Grok, I would deadass bet my entire family's savings, retirement, EVERYTHING WE GOT And sleep peacefully knowing I'll be rich af soon Elon fucking THE SHIT outta Grok, he only uses women for feet & babies

Lmao explains why I can't stay on Threads for longer than 2 weeks without getting suspended They reaaaaaally HATE if you critically discuss white supremacy there, doubly so on covid's history I left Facebook over how much I got banned years ago for the same shit, so not surprising

I'm honestly stuck between "if they can hunt, skin, and serve a bear properly, I'm not stopping them" and "*Please* do NOT bring a BEAR to SCHOOL!!!" I mean...did it at least feed a lotta students? 😭

At least 90% of why it enrages me when people shame folk who go no contact with their parents is cause I KNOW the sheer amount of labor, pain, and attempts to get literally anyone around you to listen and DO SOMETHING to stop the sheer level of toxicity necessary to force a person to go no contact

Frfr there's s direct line between erasing the radical nature of pride and considering using the fascist surveillance technology by the folk who made Pride necessary in the first place Hope they realized that assimilating will not save us but...😬 I'd keep watch, that's all I'm saying!

This is reminding me of how one of the worst things about the gender binary and being forced to be a girl is how, in cisheteropatriarchy, they functionally try to create codependent women with as little personal autonomy as possible, all so men & capitalists have a free labor force to extract from

Frfr my music taste is what it is because of LiveJournal and MySpace letting me find indie music by EVERYBODY. It was the most amazing shit YouTube can't even recreate. I know myself enough to know, given the chance, I'd leave every platform I'm on just for that experience again

This the kinda shit that made me side eye autistic "advocates" pushing hard for diagnosis and putting down self diagnosis as valid in 2026: official diagnosis can not only prevent immigration to most of the planet, it could trap us in a dangerous fascist country

This is so Elon Musk coded

I think I'm finally in the clear enough to take a well needed break, considering I've been patching over security issues on my end for...honestly, I don't know how many hours But I'm AT LEAST not getting anymore random transaction notifications, although whoever it is may be freaking tf out rn idk

It takes about 4-5 hours to get outta Florida alone 😂

This is a lot

Your mileage may vary - I'm AuDHD and I'm not sure what genetic weirdness influences this - but apple juice, apples, and applesauce work WAYYYYY better than caffeine for me any day. Caffeine is relaxing to me, whereas apples give me sustainable energy without the crash I heard caffeine causes.

What makes the sheer scale of responsibility I've been burdened with since childhood that much more enraging? I'm the SECOND YOUNGEST in my family I literally have two half sisters and a half brother, with only one of my half sisters being younger than me by just a few months (I know 😩)

Today I found out, when my bro gave away a ps4 I sold him, that he didn't remove ALL of our sign in info on the console Just his own, only And when I asked for an apology, cause I knew how bad this breach was, he had the NERVE to make it all about his guilt before giving me a half assed apology

Most of social media looking like reskins of Twitter really is the online version of all houses being gray and minimalist

www.reuters.com/article/busi... Like massive enough to where I keep getting suspended on Threads the moment I share this or even mention it
