I've been covering bad parts of the internet for long time now.
For years, there was one site extremist researchers warned me not to cover because publicizing it would be dangerous.
But it's time people know KiwiFarmsโand how they're chasing political enemies around the world.

really hard to explain to people who donโt experience it how painful and disorienting executive dysfunction can be

If you thought carbon offsets were a scam, just wait till you see the new kind of offset that cloudflare came up with!

It is downright embarrassing that an entire team of writers and reviewers at @Cloudflare thought that this was something to brag about on their blog.
Can you imagine retailers being like, โyeah we sell Confederate flags in our stores but we donate all the proceeds to charity.โ twitter.com/Cloudflare/staโฆ

There is no business case to continue to provide services to KiwiFarms. It is an explicitly political decision, and one that should be seen as a moral stain on the industry.

Hey , it's not a good look that you're publicly ignoring complaints that you should #DropKiwifarms, and yet you're sending "but we can't do anything about our clients" apologia and excuses to your other clients who are writing in to express dissatisfaction. Do better.

every fucking time they are white, and it is a variation of kidnapping, nanny, or adoption. thereโs also qโs about externally visible genitalia of the kids.
bonus: if they know thereโs not a husband, they want to know which vagina birthed them (none!) and if we used donors. ๏ฟฝ?

I was getting coffee with my daughter this morning. A white woman saw us, came over to us and said, โohhhh, whose child did you steal.โ I laughed and said, โonly white people can steal other peopleโs kids and act like theyโre theirs.โ She grabbed her coffee and left.

2 years of medical intervention to ttc, 2 awful pregnancies w/hemorrhaging and 9mo of HG, and 2 kids later: no trouble removing tubes but everyone pushed back on a hysto. itโs been easier to explore from a gender affirming standpoint than just that iโm fucking done with it. ๐คจ twitter.com/Sarah_Nicolas/

i would love for apple to come out with a simplified privacy-preserving guide to tracking cycles in the Health app, along with changes to make sharing and off-device storage of this data more difficult and with a warning.
paper tracking can be a nonstarter for disabled folks ๐คท๐ป

I didnโt even notice this part in @1Passwordโs announcement. โfirst of many partnerships [โฆ] in the cryptocurrency spaceโ. So this isnโt just a once-off thing, they really are focusing on this. That clinches it, theyโve definitely lost my business.

. nailed it. trust is imperative for a password app. it is THE feature.
encouraging crypto โ โThe Big Griftโ โ is a catastrophic break in trust.
iโve used, loved, and evangelized this product for years. i know some of these folks well. iโm beyond disappointed. ๐

This is a serious question. Iโve been a @1Password user for as long as I can remember, and an early adopter of 1Password Families, but I donโt see how I can continue to trust them going forward.

What alternatives are there that have the same level of trust, ease of use (on macOS/iOS), and ability to share items with family as 1Password?

Wow, Twitter for iOS finally fixed an infuriating UI issue. If youโre reading a long thread and accidentally swipe back out, tapping on the tweet that got you into it restores the whole thread and scroll position! Even if you tap on another tweet first!
