Artist, musical performer, and former derby skater from the Midwest.

I'm single, childless, and married to freedom and adventure.

ACAB, Anti-War, and I hate Democrats, Republicans, and billionaires. (Yes, even your favorite billionaire: the pop star, the philanthropost, the legendary athlete, or the soft-spoken investment guru who cosplays as middle class.) With each passing day I get a little closer to hating everyone.

Also, I refuse to use Donald's last name out of hatred for the man and his brand, FYI.

  • it becomes a form of censorship when snall websites and forums shut down because they don’t have the capacity to comply.

    In this scenario that's not a consideration.

    We're talking about algorithmically-driven content, which wouldn't apply to Lemmy, Mastodon, or many mom-and-pop sized pages and forums. Those have human moderation anyway, which the big sites don't. If you're making editorial decisions by weighting algorithmically-driven content, it's not censorship to hold you accountable for the consequences of your editorial decisions. (Just as we would any major media outlet.)

  • That book is partly why I oppose all war. The film Netflix produced of it a few years ago is pretty amazing too. The cinematography is almost too beautiful given the subject matter.

  • These two changed my whole perspective on American history and the public school system, as I learned a lot of information that had been deliberately withheld from me.

    As for fiction:

    • The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein (Beautiful and a little sad)
    • The Tapestry Series by Henry Neff (Just a wonderful series to read)
    • Night Shift by Stephen King (Read it way too young, in elementary school)
    • The Bible (in a bad way, God is an asshole)
    • Ready Player One by Ernest Cline (A trip through my childhood, basically)
    • Incidents Around the House (A scary book that touches on all our worst fears as kid)
    • The Witches by Roald Dahl (Just a great kids horror book)

  • It is possible to get off Spotify.

    What you can't buy legitimately via other means you can use a Youtube-To-MP3 converter to rip and add the file to your music library.

  • It's not censorship to hold people accountable for making editorial decisions on media platforms, and as long as FB, Twitter, and others are weighting different kinds of content in their algorithms (which they are), they should be held accountable financially and legally for the consequences.

  • It's almost certainly programmed to find damage that doesn't exist and price gouge you for it, but they haven't found that sweet spot yet, where you can get people to pay more without putting up a fight.
