To anyone concerned about KOSA and the state of the web

My wife, @utopicwork, is working hard on a “next internet” with the primary goal of being a place where marginalized people can safely and privately communicate without being restricted by the whims of advertising algorithms and malicious bills.

This would be a decentralized peer-to-peer network, which means

  • A) it won’t be easily shut down
  • B) it’s built around the best aspect of tumblr: being able to choose who you do and don’t connect to

She is a highly qualified computer scientist with years of experience in cybersecurity, web development and network technology. However, she can’t do this alone. A trans woman is fighting hard for the future of free communication so please support her.


We have a name. We have a mission statement.

A digital business card for PierMesh. There is a logo of a simplistic net and piers, as well as a graphic that represents 5 people on different parts of a map connecting. There is text that says the following. What is PierMesh? A new internet for LGBT+ and other marginalized people most impacted by the whims of tech giants. A LoRa low range low power radio based mesh network. FOSS free and open source down to the firmware and potentially beyond. Easy and cheap to connect to. Encrypted thanks to Meshtastic. What is its status? Research and development phase, web technologies are actively under development by utopicwork/Agie that will enable this project. How will it work? Seamlessly, the network will be accessible via web interface which can be exposed to the wider internet if desired. Socials: utopicwork at tumblr and bluesky. Link: piermesh.netALT

People do not take ableism seriously at all as an oppressive force, most times ableism gets brought up on here its to make fun of people calling it out. Its actually so bad that I recently learned that someone who was defending me for calling out ableism lost tons of followers for it, you cant even defend someone against ableist harassment without getting attacked for it

How much is your cruel joke worth? Is it worth losing your disabled friends trust?

ableism is driving the COVID pandemic that is a holocaust for us disabled and if you say that to anyone who isn’t serious about anti-eugenics and disability advocacy, you at best get ignored

ableism is fucking deadly and everyone treats it like it’s a joke– it’s even key to the popularity of a lot of posters imo

they’ll punch down and be plague rats but the second someone punches up at them out come the tears and knives

I learned recently that the term “genocide joe” was coined by disability activists in 2022 to describe his COVID policies. liberation from ableism is and always will be an integral part of our struggle

$200 raised! Thank you all so much!

Unlocking this post because we havent had a working dishwasher the whole time we’ve been here (5+ months) and its becoming a serious issue (especially since theres been some sort of upset with management we are not privy to meaning we likely will wont be able to see someone about it in the next year). I want to get a cheap run of the mill portable dishwasher, the one that looks like it would work for us is ~$230 shipping included. Ty for reading
