probably because for most people it’s a useless gimmick?

Here’s a thought: DON’T SELL YOUR CUSTOMER’S DNA DATA WITHOUT INFORMED CONSENT. (And no, your legalese Privacy Policy doesn’t count.)

Anyone with half a brain is waving people away from DNA testing, because they aren’t being responsible with it, and HIPAA doesn’t apply to DNA data of the sort they gather. 

Bloody absurd. 

“act in the interest of your customers or you don’t deserve to have any” should be what they tell you in business school, but it isn’t.

was not aware 23andMe’s CEO was the sister of Youtube CEO Susan Wojcicki. this probably means something

oh hey look at that she was also once married to Google’s cofounder Sergey Brin. this is comforting to learn about the CEO of a DNA testing company

We live in the shittiest version of feudalism

Remember when that cop pepper-sprayed students in 2011? UC Davis paid $175K to scrub it from the internet’s memory https://t.co/5prbgrx1WL

Nice try fuckers.

$175K wasted with every reblog.

Let’s make sure they DON’T get their money’s worth.

Oh hey, my 2020 vision says THE INTERNET NEVER FORGETS, MOTHERFUCKERS.

Hey, so what exactly was that cops name again…?

Lt. John Pike. It took more than two years of legal battles to get his name, and the names of other officers involved, released to the public. 

He got fired… but retained his retirement benefits, and got  $38,000 worth of worker’s compensation for the stress he went through after the incident.

The students collectively received $1m, with each pepper-sprayed student receiving $30,000 individually.

Slaying of a/p/e/p

Due to recent going-ons in the Kemetic community on here I decide to paint a jackal (be which Netjer you want) killing the s/nak/e

I’m tempted to make stickers of it but that would involve raising funds for it 🤔

‘Adoration’ by Stephen Sinding (1846-1922)

workingclasshistory:

On this day, 3 November 1889 Mexican revolutionary Amelio Robles Ávila was born. Assigned female at birth, he later lived as a man, and insisted on being treated as such – on occasion sticking his gun in the face of individuals who mis-gendered him until they acknowledged him as male. From an early age Amelio learned not only to ride, but to tame horses and then to handle weapons. He became involved in the revolutionary events and armed struggle in 1911. Between August and Nov 1911, Amelio was sent to the Gulf of Mexico on a commission to extort money from oil companies for the revolutionary cause. From 1913 until Nov 1918, when he delivered weapons, Amelio Robles participated in the ranks of the forces of peasant revolutionary Emiliano Zapata under the command of the main revolutionary leaders of the state, as Jesús H. Salgado, Heliodoro Castillo and Encarnación Díaz. In 1923, he retired from the ranks of the army but rejoined in 1924 and took part in the Batalla de la Hacienda de Pozuelos, where he was injured. That same year he took the name Coronel Amelio Robles Ávila or simply Señor Robles, and openly had relationships with women. He formed a 10 year relationship with Ángela Torres and raising an adopted daughter, Regula Robles Torres. In 1970 he became the first person assigned female at birth to be recognised as a male veteran by the government. He lived until the age of 95. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1253576081494206/?type=3
