Amidst a storm of transphobic hate from both the government and the media, a young trans girl, Brianna Ghey, has been murdered. We would like to create a space for trans people and their allies in Cambridge to come together and mourn the tragic loss of a beautiful life.

“We will not blame him for the crimes of his ancestors if he relinquishes the royal rights of his ancestors; but as long as he claims their rights, by virtue of descent, then, by virtue of descent, he must shoulder the responsibility for their crimes.” —James Connolly on George V

If any of you need help migrating to mastodon, reply below.
Mastodon has more useful features (content warning, better audience control), no ads, no algo, no nazis. It can't be bought by oligarchs either.
You won't have the exact same social graph but that may be a blessing.

2. The demand that individuals solve systemic problems caused by government policy, economic inequality etc is fundamental to neoliberalism. Neoliberalism denies the role of collective action and effective politics. It seeks to individuate both the blame and the solutions.

Facebook-owned Whatsapp being down is a reminder that you and your friends should probably be using a more private, non-profit alternative like @Signalapp anyway (or another open-source app of your choice).
It's just as free, and takes like 30 seconds to switch.

🚨🚨 Apple says to "protect children," they're updating every iPhone to continuously compare your photos and cloud storage against a secret blacklist. If it finds a hit, they call the cops.
iOS will also tell your parents if you view a nude in iMessage.

NEW EP-
WHY WORKPLACE DEMOCRACY? 🔧✊
W/ @profwolff
We're told we live in a democracy, but for 40 gruelling hours a week, we don't have a say.
Could democracy at work be the end of capitalism?

Hi-tech capitalism was supposed to be efficient. But it has no qualms about expending energy controlling any surplus that stands in capital’s way (unsold stock, the fact delivery drivers have bodies). We need a tech ecosystem that is built for people, not profit.
Exclusive: Amazon is destroying millions of items of unsold stock in one of its UK warehouses every year, an ITV News investigation has uncovered.
Many of the products - including smart TVs and laptops - are often new and unused. #AmazonWaste

This is akin to Ireland's Direct Provision system. It does not allow people seeking asylum to live freely in the community. It impedes the building of bonds and relationships and is thus fundamentally inhumane.
