This makes me angry:

I run my own mail server in a VPS. Its IP address is NOT blacklisted, and I have both SPF and DKIM properly configured. I do NOT send bulk mail.

But still, Gmail classifies my personal emails as SPAM.

Same email with same exactly same contents, sent through PoBox SMTP server goes to INBOX. Directly from VPS, goes to SPAM. No explanations, no public blacklist. It looks like they just don't want people going "indie". Sigh.

If I had a wealthy patron who regularly gave me sizeable amounts of money to cover my bills and expenses than there'd be SO MUCH stuff that I'd be doing for the greater good.

Like, you'd be a sugar daddy/momma for tech & services for sex workers.

Doing client/startup tech work is a huge drag, and often not using my skills to provide value for the greater good.

"In perhaps the creepiest example, Facebook applied for (and received, last year) a patent for a tool called Techniques, for emotion detection and content delivery. It would use the camera in your phone to take pictures of you as you scroll through content. Facebook would then use facial analysis to measure how much you did or did not like the content in question, so as to determine what kind of stuff to send your way."

Surprise! The human #trafficking framework is xenophobic & has more to do with policing the movement of migrant workers than it does with keeping migrant workers safe. https://www.opendemocracy.net/beyondslavery/rebecca-angelini/if-you-control-movement-you-control-sex-workers #sexwork

RT @ijeomaumebinyuo@twitter.com: Malcom X was a sex worker. Maya Angelou was a sex worker. Baldwin was gay. Audre Lorde was a lesbian. Don't erase anyone's history biko. If you don't like anyone like them leading a movement, remove names like Lorde, Baldwin, X, and Maya from your mouth. The End.
