@steakbacon @minusman @anglon @DougZartman Wow! Magnificent! 👏🏾

@CoyoteNCrowRPG @PayPal That's nuts! A bank shouldn't be able to do that without some sort of notification or process. They could absolutely destroy someone's livelihood like that. I have enough friends who are sex workers who have had to navigate this kind of BS on the regular. It's criminal.

@Tygerlil13 @NoeGK @MaizeLongboat @Aquma @alice_tps @kehaunoe Nothing comes to mind at the moment but maybe @JoshYTsui or @SenFoongLim might know of someone or some resources.

Aaron Swartz would have been 36 today.

Aaron committed suicide after being sentenced to 35 years in prison by US authorities for transferring and sharing scientific articles from JSTOR.

This thread is why I’m worried for my step kids- and all kids.

And no, Ford, privatization won’t help.

@booksofm @alinapete I wish I could have, but school and other deadlines intercede. Hopefully there will be a next time. I can't wait to read what comes from this.

Glad to know you @foolsfolly

Candice stayed so there could be more diverse castings to come after her because she knew the importance of representation.

@MxRJ611 I'm so sorry this happened. The system hurts so many. :(

@bluestockingetc Aarrr! Skulls and roses! How lovely and macabre. It's a very beyond the veil vibe. The reveal promises mystery and trouble and a bit of pirate action. And matching thong says there be booty here!
