@littlemiao When I got my latest iPhone I got the Otterbox Frē. It’s surprisingly thin. Most of all it’s waterproof. @PamelaBarroway

The good news tonight is that my share sheet on all #Apple devices is magically working again. No clue what caused or fixed it.

@ben My guess is that although we talk a lot about Apple being a walled garden, it’s limited in scope. It has an OS and apps to run on it, along with some limited hardware. Google is more like a walled amusement park, with a search engine, office suite, browser, OS, and on and on.
I suspect if Google divested itself of Android, their outcome would have been the same as Apple’s.

"Safe, legal, and rare" stigmatizes abortion and fuels abortion bans with token exceptions that will never be honored in court, all so squeamish, puritanical weirdoes can feel comfortable with themselves for sticking their noses in other people's business.
The same is true of the moral panic over trans people and especially trans kids. Doctors and parents were already involved in these decisions. It's none of your fucking business. Get out.

@dukepaaron @aelliotpr All of this kind of reminds me of the argument about how the swastika didn't start out as a nazi symbol and so we shouldn't automatically assume everyone using it is a nazi. (I first learned about this argument from an ex-boyfriend which is part of the reason he's very firmly an ex, but that's a collection of stories for another day in which I have copious amounts of alcohol and weed). Anyway, if you're using a swastika I'm assuming you're a nazi. Also, if you and your friends are yelling "from the river to the sea" I'm assessing the risk of you and your friends being genicidal fucks as too high for me to dig up some sort of benefit of the doubt on your behalf. See also: If you either regularly make jokes about raping women, or you regularly defend others who do the same as not really misogynist assholes and I just need to calm down, I'm assuming you're a misogynist asshole.
