cryptocurrency is obviously bullshit, but, fortunately, the real working cryptographers seem to be basically completely disjoint from financial scam libertarians
@ayoub Israeli twitter is horrible and has always been like this.
@riotmuffin historically accurate
Been seeing more and more uncritical mentions of the 988 mental health hotline lately. If you’re going to promote this, you ought to also include the risks, which are that they collaborate with police: by their own admission about 2% of calls end up with the counselor calling 911 on the person seeking help.
If you are going to reach out to 988, and you don’t want violent fucks with guns potentially showing up at your door, make sure you:
—Do not under any circumstances volunteer your location (988 claims to not use geolocation capability like 911 does)
—never admit to being at an imminent risk of harm to yourself or others, or in immediately unsafe surroundings. Remember that the counselor may have a lower threshold for defining this than you do!

Programmer and IT girl. Pseudo-vegan for the environment (-avocados +oysters). Very uncomfortable with astrology. Please don't call me "dude", "bro", "man", etc. Radical egalitarian anarchist, hierarchies and hate are incompatible with a free and equal life . For real though, I'm not gonna tell you to vote or post about political spectacle that is outside our control and in-actionable. Aiming to have a similar amount of internal contradictions as my environment like Ashby's Law of Requisite variety. I am probably stoned on some variety and dosage of cannabinoids if I am awake if you hate stoners just dni. I am also a trans woman so I *checks notes* meme about femininity and feminization sometimes. After dark account at: @thufieplus but read my bio there before sending a follow request even if we are already mutuals here. Oh and just to be clear because I think I see other white people on here trying to fake not being white under a bunch of other text, I'm just a disoriented white girl trying her best.
