The sky turns blinding white and the world becomes only heat and pain as the blast incinerates the city, instantly ending millions of innocent lives. A mushroom cloud emminates out as the blast ends.

The mushroom cloud is pink.

My 15yo kid just came out to me tonight as trans male. In order to be more supportive, I would really like some feedback from other trans folks on how to assist or better understand this process, especially on how that works today vs 30 years ago.

Caveat- I had a parent who is trans, but this isn't the same kind of relationship. I would actually be assisting my minor child in this change, so that makes me a more active participant in the process.

Feel free to boost. #trans

Glad to be home to some pretty great weather this morning.

Here I share a means of understanding exactly why what is going on in Bolivia is a CIA backed coup.

I wouldn't dare not provide sources to provide perspective and support my claims.

Reminder: companies like Facebook and Google are a threat to the Internet and the Web. They want to keep you on their site (with Facebook it's pretty obvious, with Google it's through AMP) so they can keep serving you adverts, which earns them money.

Those companies don't care about open access to information, privacy or consumer choice. Those values aren't profitable. What do you think they'll do when they control the majority of Web traffic?

What could go wrong... :-(

@manuelcaeiro They’re not competition. They’re a VC-backed startup concerned with exponential growth that will be bought by Google/Facebook/etc., some day if they’re successful.

We’re a not-for-profit concerned with helping safeguard human rights and democracy and building a web tool for individuals (not startups or corporations) to form the basis of a possible future decentralised web.

Bulgaria is about to legalise genocide against Roma people.

RT @Fionn_Grunspan@twitter.com

Bulgaria is close to passing a [Neo-Nazi] law called “Roma Integration”.

• It limits how many children Roma can have.

• Roma children will be sent to work camps.

• It will legally formalise the Roma Ghettos into violent Pogroms.
