On grief, on Alaa

It’s funny the way grief and sadness work. Yesterday, my mom and I euthanized the cat that we have both cared for for fifteen years, and despite knowing that it was the right decision for a cat whose body and mind were both failing, I woke up this morning in a cold sweat.

We were lucky; my mother found someone who makes house calls, and we got to hold Little Cat as she painlessly passed, stroke he

Quotes by Jillian York  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“For example, Twitter and Facebook—both of which happily hosted Kim Kardashian’s nude bottom—removed the word “vagina” from an advertisement marketing a book about female anatomy, written by prominent gynecologist Dr. Jen Gunter.21 Similarly, journalist Sarah Lacy found that she was unable to advertise her book, entitled A Uterus Is a Feature, on Facebook.22 Plus-sized women have had their Instagram accounts removed for posting selfies in bikinis—something that skinny women do all the time without reprisal.23 Both platforms have also blocked advertisements for information about teen pregnancy, proper bra fitting, and gynecologist visits.24”
Jillian York, Silicon Values: The Future of Free Speech Under Surveillance Capitalism

“Over the years, lawmakers in several countries have implored tech companies to go above and beyond the law to remove certain designated groups, in particular Hamas and Hezbollah—calls which have at times succeeded.43 Most recently, a 2019 letter from sixteen members of US Congress to Twitter to ban Hamas resulted in the company caving, after first pushing back, and banning accounts from both groups.44”
Jillian York, Silicon Values: The Future of Free Speech Under Surveillance Capitalism

“in the middle of the decade, three revolutionary technological developments created the conditions for anyone to create and share videos: the smartphone, video-sharing platforms, and fast internet speeds enabled millions of people to capture, distribute, and consume video”
