okay which of you did this

I was given an excellent new water filter bottle for Christmas, and I'm very happy about it, but it wants me to connect it to an app. I am not going to connect it to an app. It is a water filter bottle. Why on earth would you need an internet enabled water filter bottle. Aaargh.

🧵 My sense of justice was triggered by #Palantir corporate gaslighting two Swiss investigative journalists on LinkedIn.

This is something most people won’t even see, but I was angry, so I looked while my kid was still asleep.

Here’s what it looks like when tech bros attack journalists while you and I have too much food over Christmas.

Two Swiss journalists spent a year filing 59 #FOIA requests to document Palantir’s 7-year campaign to sell surveillance software to Swiss authorities (army and health services in particular).

The Swiss army’s internal report concluded they couldn’t rule out US intelligence accessing data through Palantir systems, despite reassurances.

Their story hit The Guardian, and #UK MPs are now questioning £825M in Palantir contracts.

The journalists were rejoicing on LinkedIn. It’s a big deal to have your story picked up by mainstream UK media, especially after a year of hard work.

This is where it gets ugly.

I didn't transition to become a girl. I transitioned because I am a girl

who is also a 5th dimensional being with 4th dimensional flames for eyes and accepts tithes in honor of my beauty and wrath and who was once part of all, fractured into the universe, gathered like a handful of ash, gathered without regard to my self-determination, and this I am self-assembled, and will one day fracture and gather again in my own self-imposed samsara until the moments when we can once again gather at the center of existence in an embrace outside of time before we fracture again.

I wish cis people could understand this is why we transition.

Love this. Watch the bird fly.
