With so many #identirati coming down with Covid, let’s hope we won’t incubate a variant with some special powers… like impersonating other viruses, doing elevation of privilege or delegated infections 😅

It feels strange to make fun videos about A/V gear when people I love and care about, and even total strangers who I'll never meet, are losing basic human rights and don't know what to do.

I also don't know what to do, but at the very least I can say that it hurts my soul.

I've definitely been lurking on the likes. Some people forget that they're public so when I see they keep liking the "praise be to god" posts, it's pretty easy to tell how they feel about it.

Forced birth in a country with:

—No universal healthcare
—No universal childcare
—No paid family & medical leave
—One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations

This isn't about "life." It's about control.

No government, politician, or man should tell a woman what she can and cannot do with her body. I want women in Canada to know that we will always stand up for your right to choose.

I stand in support of women, their right to choose for their bodies & anybody who stands for change against a broken system. I’ve never been political or vocal about my beliefs. But fuck this wholeheartedly. I am sorry to all the women in this country. You deserve so much better

Freedom means the ability to live your life as YOU choose – and that means you get to control your own body and your own health. It’s fundamental. This isn’t over.

Every age, every race, every education level, men and women *all* in total disapprove of revoking Roe vs Wade. Only explicit Republicans and Trump voters are in favor.

the men on this site cheering the loudest about abortion prohibition also complained the loudest that wearing masks in crowds during the outbreak of an infectious disease was a violation of their bodily autonomy

This has been my strategy too.

I will not be applying to speak, or accept offers to speak at cons in states where they do not respect women’s rights, LGBTQ rights, or human rights in general. It may not be much of an impact, but is the least I can do as an ally to friends & family who have rights stripped away

When a uterus is more heavily regulated than an assault weapon, that’s when you know it’s a war on women.

The problem with SCOTUS looking to whether a “right” is “deeply rooted in our history or traditions” is that our history and traditions are filled with genocide, slavery, brutality and misogyny. Why should we limit our “rights” to things that have only existed for those in power?

I'm really disappointed that the women in our country are losing rights because of a bunch of crusty old people who are in no way affected by these rights decided that they needed yet another thing to mess with for no reason other than to cause a Jan 6 diversion.

People prosecuted for their pregnancy outcomes to date were surveilled, turned in by trusted people, including doctors, not period tracking apps.
The corroborating evidence was Google search histories, not app location information. It was texts and emails, not cell tower pings.

We captured some great moments from #Identiverse2022 and will be sharing them all week. Stay tuned for additional shots! 📷 by @__b_c.

Can’t mandate masks but you can mandate pregnancy. What a country.

If you have no words today, that's okay. There are no words that could ever adequately express just how fucked up all this is.

If somebody had been using a period-tracking app religiously every single day since the day the first general purpose computer was first turned on in 1945, they would need a staggering...3.6KB of storage for their entire history WHY IS THIS GETTING CLOUD STORAGE shdkslwbaka

Everybody out there who wants to say "Vote them out!" please consider:
1. We were going to do that the fuck anyway
2. Republicans have been working out in the open to do everything they can to make sure our votes don't count as a preemptive response to point 1
