What It Feels Like to Have Your Passwords Hacked By Hundreds

Book Excerpt: Zoë Quinn on the Problem of Terms of Service
I’m from the internet myself, so when we started out, I wanted to believe that the architects of my home would make things better if they just knew how. After nearly two years of working closely with tech companies, that illusion has been shattered. I’m gambling many of my relationships revealing this, but I believe the fight against online abuse will continue to stagnate unless I speak out.

Counterpoint: I’m a Liberal, and Shut The Fuck Up.
No seriously, shut the fuck up. We don’t need more thinkpieces in this format. You being a liberal lends absolutely zero additional validity to your arguments when they’re about giving hate a bigger platform, or a fair shake, or whatever you’re on about now.
Feminism | Indiegogo
When i was a young lad my mother said i could never be a strong, independant black woman. I disagree I'm raising $500 to pay for my dual sex change operation, where I will have my penis removed, a vagina crafted, then out of that vagina will sprout a new penis. This will revolutionize sex change science, break every wall set by the misogynistic patriarchy that run this world. Together, we will change everything.
