Just FYI for the privacy ppl still on Instagram...
In May, Instagram is disabling end to end encryption for private messages bc (they claim) "low uptake" but rly, bc they want to enable spying on u.
More corpo deception, u know?
So, ur choices...
- Use Insta and swap to something for messaging (Signal is a great choice!)
- Move away from Insta to the Fedi (if you can; some ppl rely on it for income, I know.)
- Let Mark "I creep women and steal their selfies" Zuckerberg spy on u.

The epithalamion is a challenging, even problematic, form today. Originally a poem to “celebrate” the bride on her way to the bridal chamber, the ancient forms were quasi-religious, ironic in this thin veiling of voyeurism and libertinism.
Here, a contemporary spin.

The judge tossed out his testimony as credibility was destroyed. https://www.404media.co/witness-caught-using-smartglasses-in-court-blames-it-all-on-chatgpt/ #Media #SocialMedia #AI

Ma musique est très influencée par la chanson. Cela m’a permis de magnifier la mélodie. La mélodie, le son et la danse, pour moi, c’est vraiment les trois ingrédients les plus importants.

“In December, the Johannesburg-based CIVICUS Monitor downgraded Germany’s civic space from ‘narrowed’ to ‘obstructed,’ citing state repression against Palestine solidarity as the core reason.
The authors decry that ‘German authorities have continued to severely restrict the right to protest in solidarity with the Palestinian people’ and that they react to any ‘perceived breach of overly broad protest restrictions’ with ‘severe police brutality, including kettling, pepper spraying, punching and choking’”
