Fellow veterans: the VA is apparently sending out letters asking "minorities who identify as LGBTQ+" to sign up for and participate in some type of research project. Under this administration, please don't fucking do that.

Launchgood, the funding platform for Dreams on a Pillow, has a challenge for today: for the projects that get the most backers (new or old) to make a donation, or those projects that raise the most amount of funding, they'll award up to $25,000 in extra funding. That's more than 10% of the goal.

Palestinians are being killed by a colonial apartheid state, and we're here to make our stance clear and simple: If you're a Zionist, antisemitic, Islamophobic, or pro-genocide, we will block you. We stand for the liberation of the Palestinian people.

The funny thing about domain verification is that there are so many top level domains and no company can get them all. Therefore, I got the nytimes.lgbt domain to be able to create an account to criticize them for their transphobic coverage.

How do we have 800 of these articles and none contend with the fundamental issue which is rich liberals don’t want to fund left media, they want to fund liberal media which is bloodless and partisan, by definition.

I want to make a personal appeal for the beautiful new game of Palestinian gamedev @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social. As nobody will fund a game about the 1948 Nakba, Rasheed is crowdfunding via launchgood.com/1948. I've been doing production advice on the game pro bono, and it deserves to exist.

this isn't surprising. i'm pretty sure everyone knows they do this. and it's not unique to X / Twitter either. social media platforms want to keep you on their website so they can increase their metrics for ad revenue they don't care about you "reading the news"

Anti-genocide activists did not vote for Trump. This unfounded claim is just propaganda fabricated by podcast millionaires & the DNC to scapegoat rather than admitting their failures. You sound like a fool repeating it.

Hasan Piker has good ideas to @donie.bsky.social on how the Dems (left in general) can win over bros! But its ironic how the US media establishment tend to marginalize likes of Piker but give more platforms to the right wing alt media, apart from this interview, its rare seeing Piker elsewhere

One of the things I'm noticing about Bluesky is the lack of ads, which is great after being drowned in them on Twitter. I'm sure that will change sometime in the future because of platform decay under capitalism, but for now I guess it's just enjoy it while it lasts.
