This moment in Bluesky is a great example of how joy itself can be defiance and resistance.
We are just hanging out, shitposting, being silly, happy, and normal. It is being treated as if it is transgressive, opting out of the endless negativity. Because in a way, it is.
Joy is my favorite weapon.

Joy is powerful, especially in opposition to the endless whining & blaming of grievance politics.
Never lose sight of your joy ❤️
I forgot how fun social media could be until I started spending time on here.
💙💙💙💙
But we have the right to opt out. It's not an echo chamber we still watch the news
💙💙💙💙
They can't control the narrative.
So they are angry.
But we are joyful.

That's not how anything works.
It does not, however, mean that joy is pointless.
It has its functions.
That's just not one of them.
And when they try to interrupt it we just all ignore them and block them all.
Beautiful.
They can be as angry as they want. They just can't force us to listen to them troll
Can I steal that quote? It is just spot on... ❤️
It makes me so happy to see it
We have to adapt

And I don't expect to win them over with our joy.
I expect that we help and bolster each other with our joy. That we draw protection from it. That we feel stronger and more empowered to act because of it.
It's worth fighting for
Thank you Bluesky.
You cannot change them, perhaps now not contain them, but we can take away their stage & audience.
There is nothing more pathetic than a narcissist without an audience. 🤭

Don't keep giving Elon money and a place to push his agenda.

This place seems to strike the balance I need to stay informed while not raging 👌
Social media isn't regulated and has no journalistic standards so if you choose to use your
The only people saying that are mad because they can't control the narrative here.
We're pretty clear that being unapologetically yourself as indigenous / disabled / queer, and being joyful *is* pushback
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
And when we do we realize there are a lot of valuable things that come from prioritizing our sanity
Wish this don't go the way threads did!
I appreciate how I actually feel comfortable/posting on this site. I hardly ever posted on X because I was anxious about people trying to troll or just be nasty.
People are kind and inviting on this site
