Honestly never had a clue. Thanks for the share.
Let go and let entropy. 🌌

Super cute. My partner crocheted a similar style bag for myself a couple years ago. I love it. 💜
May it be so.
More like all ads. Whoops. That wasn’t intentional at all. 🤭
Private DNS is currently Auto (and not off). I haven’t tried to specify another.
Tracker control is pretty fantastic. It blocks an incredible amount of communication from every app including advertisements.

Tracker Control is a very very useful tool.
And… It uses only a tiny fraction of my battery. I’m talking 0.13% the last 24 hours.
Influencers don’t register on my radar and I actively ignore them. But bigots… oh… f*ck them. Let justice be had and this dad prevail.
I can’t imagine why…
Sounds like something a bot would ask. 🤔
I found the wiki article helpful. Perhaps you will as well.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_panic_defense
The gay panic defense or homosexual advance defence is a victim blaming strategy of legal defense, which refers to a situation in which a heterosexual individual charged with a violent crime against a homosexual (or bisexual) individual claims they lost control and reacted violently because of an unwanted sexual advance that was made upon them. A defendant will use available legal defenses against assault and murder, with the aim of seeking an acquittal, a mitigated sentence, or a conviction of a lesser offense. A defendant may allege to have found the same-sex sexual advances so offensive or frightening that they were provoked into reacting, were acting in self-defense, were of diminished capacity, or were temporarily insane, and that this circumstance is exculpatory or mitigating.
This has no bearing on the admitted facts or evidence. The goal is to prevent the defense from basically saying, “They deserved it because they were gay/trans, and that surprised/scared me so much I acted violently.” It’s like saying you punched someone because they were wearing a different colored shirt. It’s not okay to hurt someone because of who they are.
The law was passed to prevent victim blame and to make it clear that being gay/trans isnt scary. People are people. And violence isn’t okay, even if one’s bigotry causes them act irrationally.
EDIT: Updated to simplify what I was trying to convey
Super helpful! Thank you!
I have to admit that I was confused by the meaning of this “panic defense”. The following from the article helped a bit.
At the September hearing, Pohutsky said “the LGBTQ panic defense is often deployed as a component of other defenses to play on the unfortunate prejudices of some judges and juries in an effort to mitigate penalties for these crimes.”
But a linked article made this “defense” tactic even more clear.
Gay rights advocates are outraged after an Austin, Texas, man received a light sentence for stabbing his neighbor to death in what some are calling an example of the so-called gay panic defense.
For decades, the rare defense has allowed a victim’s sexual orientation or gender identity to justify violent crime in some cases. Now, advocates are saying it should be banned.
I’m honestly surprised that this was ever admissable in the first place. Well, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.
This is good for the people of Michigan and the other 19 states that ban it. May all US states follow in kind.
I can’t deal with this. It has to stop.
I just watched the footage and once again I’m blown away by the callous disregard for life. What the AF is wrong with people! 🤬
At this point, I think cops simply need to be disarmed. Period. Very few specialized cops should be armed in special circumstances. Outside that, cops need to just rely on their f-cking “de-escalation” skills alone. If they’re scared, then they can call it in and get support. No more f-cking drawing weapons against unarmed civilians though. We can revisit this if and when too many cops are dying from all the many scary things they constantly need to draw their weapons for. We will then address their concerns with the same level of effort that civilian deaths are being accounted for.
The end.
Take the f-cking guns away!
Okay. Now the end.
🤬
Honest question. Is that photo actually from the event? Maybe it’s all the poor quality sources I’m seeing, but I don’t see the wound/blood. And he’s been photographed making that hand pumping motion numerous times.
I don’t doubt that he would take advantage of something like this since he brands everything he can. And it’s gross. So gross.
But… is that what’s actually happening here or is this misinformation?
It’s terrible how companies like this can do anything they want with impunity.
This tool seemed so beneficial.
Agreed. I don’t think it will go anywhere right now, but until politicians actually try to push this, it will never gain traction. With the number of voters that support it though, I’d like to think this can eventually be a winner for politicians…
This isn’t the first time I’ve heard such good sense coming from Spain, lately. I normally don’t hear much in the news headlines, but I hope I continue to. We need more vocal leaders like this challenging Western hypocrisy.
Giving it a go now. Thanks!
