In a few years people and companies who do this will be doing the apology rounds like a YouTuber when their old tweets resurface. I'll save you the trouble, at the time of this choice in 2025 Zuckerberg was 40 years old, well aware of the impact of his choices.
A fucked state in a mostly-fucked country.

"Anarchists are quick to recognize that #racism, #sexism, and #homophobia will not simply go away upon the #collapse of #capitalism and they must be fought here and now. These same #anarchists, however, are often unwilling to apply this logic to #speciesism. If we want total #freedom, we must cultivate new relationships in our everyday lives. This means fighting #oppression on every line, including the line of species. Refusing to do so is not coherent with #anarchist and #autonomist practices."

Here is satire that's not really satire:
I am sick and tired of homophobes and transphobes trying to turn our gay and bi kids straight, and our trans kids cis. They need to stop this deliberate grooming and detransing of children. Let children be children!
Frontline and ProPublica have just released their in-depth investigation into Terrorgram. It's really well done and gets into both the background of how Terrorgram came to be in the first place and how its organizers groomed the teenager who eventually shot three people outside a queer bar in Bratislava, killing two of them. I recommend it for anyone who's interested in all of that. There are lots of details and illuminating observations throughout.
One warning, though: there is some rather violent footage early on, particularly from Unite the Right. I'm specifically kind of pissed that people *still* insist on showing the footage of the car attack, and without even any run-up -- just cutting straight to that moment, as though the world doesn't already know what happened, as though there were no living people whose lives were completely fucked up that day and may really suffer for seeing that yet again.
If that's an issue for you, maybe skip from around 7:00-8:10, and particularly right around the 8:00 mark. You won't be missing anything of value.

“A surge of grant cancellations hit researchers focused on the health of gay, lesbian and #transgender people last week, as the Trump administration continues to target what it describes as ideologically driven science.”

"We want you to know that this doesn’t take away the incredible times we’ve had together. Remember that year we featured a single attractive white gay couple chastely holding hands in one of our ads? It was you and us against the world."

Today in Labor History March 25, 1957: U.S. Customs seized copies of Allen Ginsberg's poem "Howl" on obscenity grounds. Poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and City Lights manager, Shigeyoshi Murao, were arrested on obscenity charges for publishing and distributing the poem. Howl was inspired, in part, by a terrifying peyote vision Ginsberg had in which the façade of the Sir Francis Drake Hotel, in San Francisco, appeared as the monstrous face of a child-eating demon. The obscenity charges stemmed from homophobic responses to his explicit references to homosexuality. Ginsberg’s first experience with LSD, as well as Kerouac’s and Burroughs’s, was with acid provided by the anthropologist Gregory Bateson, one-time husband of and long-time collaborator with Margaret Mead. You can read more about Bateson and Mead’s early experimentation with, and promotion of, psychedelics (and their collaboration with the CIA) in the recent book, “Tripping on Utopia.”

"WARNING: The WRCSB is voting Monday on a motion that would ban pride flags, slogans, and symbols from being hung or shown (even on a sticker!) on school property. Even teacher's personal flags would not be allowed.
Please show up on Monday to show support!"
I will add that their motion also erases Indigenous Peoples by saying the Canadian flag represents all. Kitchener is on the Haldimand Tract, the stolen, occupied territory of Six Nations.

Today in Labor History March 22, 1972: U.S. Congress sent the Equal Rights Amendment to the states for ratification. It failed. And to this day, women earn 84% of what men do. One of the exceptions is public education, where teachers’ unions have fought and won the right to collectively bargain salaries based on years of experience, not gender. The first ERA was introduced to Congress in 1923. The 1972 had wide bipartisan support, including by presidents Nixon, Ford and Carter, and seemed destined to pass. However, Phyllis Schlafly mobilized conservative women against the amendment, arguing that it would disadvantage housewives, make them eligible for the draft and cause divorcees to lose custody of their children. This killed the ERA in the 1970s. From 2017-2020, several states have ratified the ERA. However, it is uncertain whether these ratifications are legal, since they occurred after the deadlines. Schlafly went on to become a major player in the anti-abortion and anti-feminist and anti-LGBTQ rights movements.

Trump says that the phrase "All Men Are Equal" is correct but incomplete.
It should be read in full as, "All White Men Are Equal, Above All Others".

#nonce is two separate nouns:
Nonce (1) means: The one or single occasion; the present reason or purpose.
(Etymology 1 is inherited from Middle English nonse, nones.)
Nonce (2, in Britain and Ireland) means: A sex offender, especially one who perpetrates against children.
(Etymology 2 is dated 1975, in British criminal slang.) French equivalent: #pointeur

Hungary's autocratic régime has banned LGBTQ+ marches including Pride observances. Perhaps Orbán has been emboldened by Trump's anti-DEI hysteria.
Hungary does suffer from high inflation; and the opposition Tisza Party leads Orbán's Fidesz in the polls. So maybe ol' Viktor is creating a distraction to energize his hardcore far right followers.

PS:
to those who asked me about this pinned post,
https://mastodon.social/@blogdiva/113484331199042724
use this thread as an explanation to the very serious joke.
when #fascism happens to BPIOC it’s called #racism; but that racism is sometimes #sexism, #misogyny, #homophobia, #transphobia, #xenophobia, #antisemitism, #ableism, #eugenics ―and when against entire nations, #colonialism & #genocide.
so whatever you let the ruling classes get away with racism will come back to haunt you as fascism.
get it now?
