PayPal is updating their ToS to let themselves give your data to merchants starting in November and they're certainly banking on people not knowing to opt out, SO to opt out before they start: go to Settings > Data & Privacy > Manage shared info > Personalized shopping, and toggle that shit off

Screenshot of PayPal's Terms of Service update, outlining their "personalized shopping" feature where they allow themselves the right to give info about you to other companies

I really want people to understand that this is just as awful and upsetting and invasive for a trans girl as it would be for a cis girl under the same scrutiny. Because when it happens to cis girls/women people get upset, but when itā€™s an actual trans girl somehow itā€™s ā€œcomplicated.ā€ Itā€™s not.

Every time JD Vance opens his mouth, a sinkhole opens and swallows 30 people whole. I havenā€™t seen the people myself, but I know that something like this is happening. wapo.st/47xigYP

Opinion | Every time JD Vance tells a story, a sinkhole swallows 30 people

This is the story I must tell to raise awareness.

Evidently: This image is by @jenbartel.artx.com/heyjenbartel... Whose work we should support instead of a store evidently ripping an artist off. Letā€™s consider their theft an ad for Jenā€™s work.

"Mr. Trump has in the past supported a nationwide ban on abortion, but he is presently out of our direct view, which leads us to wonder if, like our parents, he does not exist when we're not looking at him.""Mr. Trump has in the past supported a nationwide ban on abortion, but he is presently out of our direct view, which leads us to wonder if, like our parents, he does not exist when we're not looking at him."

OK he forgot to mention vaccines but that's the clear implication, right? Vaccinated people are eligible for a free checkup in case they turn out to have dangerous symptoms like "not regretting the vaccines"?

Finally finished @haileypiperfights.bsky.social's Worm trilogy; what a ride! But I have to ask, was there a hint of Omar Khayyam in Ch. 22 "All of Time Conspired"?

Cover art of Hailey Piper's "Song of the Tyrant Worm"
Excerpt from The Rubiyat of Omar Khayyam (translated by Edward Fitzgerald):

Ah, Love! could you and I with Him conspire
To grasp this sorry Scheme of Things entire,
Would not we shatter it to bits--and then
Re-mould it nearer to the Heart's Desire!
