To the people who think racist authoritarians should be posting more on Bluesky: What the actual fuck is wrong with you, fuck off with that mealy-mouth "both sides" bullshit, thank you for your attention, now go fuck yourselves

🖤

Can people stop looking at something the US government is doing and being like "omg we've become just like [insert Asian country]!!" Cause idk how to tell you but this is just the US being the US

Rutgers started some excellent trouble. Yesterday, UMass Amherst Faculty Senate passed a Mutual Academic Defense Compact resolution, calling on the 250 Public and Land Grant institutions to come to each others' aid if the fascists infringe on freedom of inquiry, or speech. #academicsky

So I’ve mostly ignored this person, because obviously you wanna get on this app and say that matty et al are persecuted, you clearly have a humiliation thing going, and I don’t need to participate in that. But I do want to say something about this.

Oh HELL yes!

Sunday sermon

Yup. And IMO, that desperation for validation goes hand-in-hand with a burning desire to Own without Creating or even commissioning. The hunger for unearned reward.

Indie artist looking for folks to invest in my art. It's been a long road from Cali to Illinois. Doing by best to keep this dream alive as best I can. Indie artists & crafters don't have access to billion dollar advert campaigns. All we have is our work, our reputations and word of mouth.

In 1943, guards at the Topaz Relocation Site shot a 63-year-old incarcerated Japanese man, claiming that he was trying to escape. This story on the attempt to preserve his legacy feels especially timely in this moment.

What are y'all waiting on?? Tap those links. Thx. The Mgmt. 💜

Quick reminder, y'all: Golf is the sport of the oppressors.

Me: Follow me for more mini painting and builds! Rando: Your work sucks. Me: Cool. Then you can follow me for what not to do! Here's your clown horn, sir. Now everyone's having fun!

Alt text! I mostly use Bluesky on the subway and there's just not time for images to load between stations. If your post doesn't have alt text all I see is a big blank spot. P.S. There's a setting that reminds you to add alt text before you post. It's easy and takes 5 extra seconds.

Bluesky feature request: urgently need to be able to prevent folks who don't follow us from quote posting. We can prevent from replying, but dear lord we gotta end those drive by quote posts, too.

We watched people standing in line for 8-10 hours to vote in Georgia, so they made it illegal to give them water. They called in bomb threats to majority Black polling places. They did everything they could to suppress the vote. And then folks are out here like, "well Georgia voted for this lol"

Your daily Shogun

People who say Kilmar Abrego García won't make it back to the US act like they're the only ones who thought of that possibility, they don't mention the larger implications regarding due process, and they seem to want people to give up. We can NEVER give up.

We’ll keep investing in the things that make Minnesota the best place to live, work, and raise a family. www.duluthnewstribune.com/news/local/w...

President Trump and many of his backers in Congress have introduced a new bill called the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which threatens to make it harder for young people and women to vote.

It’s not an addiction. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/wome...

A MEDICATED WARRIOR IS A LETHAL WARRIOR.

Yes, that's the accurate language to use. The US government is bragging about engaging in human trafficking.

A line from a book set in the past, talking about the early 1920s and the veterans of World War I: “They’re not allowed to beg, but they’re allowed to sell things”. (The things usually being pencils, matches, apples, etc.) Now we don’t even allow people to sell little things. Cruelty, point, etc

EVERYONE who was sent to that El Salvadorian concentration camp fucking hell hole needs to be returned to the United States. ALL OF THEM.

WEAR YOUR FAVORITE SHINY THING.

There is so much wrong with this. One is that “healthy” means “having a robust immune system” and you know who doesn’t have a robust immune system because they haven’t been exposed? Children, particularly infants and toddlers.

If I can't find an affordable typewriter I guess I'm taking it all the way back to the legal pads and ink pens of my youth. There's a reason all digital tools have been corrupted. Also expect little to none of my casual day to day brilliance online. All this is "free" cause we are the product.

i did this for a long time because it was the only way to do books plus a health-insurance-paying-job and its is not healthy 💜 please avoid it whenever you can

If you're Black and this isn't SOP (and that's not hypothetical I know y'all out there, I seent it)?

Alt text: screenshot from Twitter of Jack posting "delete all IP law" and Musk responding "I agree" Please note that these men are liars and thieves and don't actually believe this - they just mean "delete all protections for OTHER people." They absolutely would preserve protections for themselves.

I had a joke about Midas, but I realized it's not a joke, it's a furious fantasy, a vengeful dream of consequences for murderous greed, a keening prayer for justice in a world overwhelmed by sociopathic billionaires uh sorry what were we talking about

I got an ADHD diagnosis & medication at 42. It made me, like, 10% more organized at best. However, it also basically ELIMINATED the incapacitating anxiety spirals I’ve been having basically my entire life, so who gives a fuck if I’m better at meeting work deadlines??

I had a joke about Aeneas but it's kind of a retread of the Odysseus joke earlier in the thread.

You can fuck off with your "cure autism now" bullshit. We aren't something to be fixed.

The anti-DEI trend is directly related to the incel phenomenon that I call the Mr. Collins issue. In Pride & Prejudice, Charlotte married Mr. Collins because she was going to be someone’s dependent no matter how she sliced things, and so marriage, even to an annoying toad, was her best option.

"I know I’m splitting hairs. When higher education is outlawed and your local post office is sold to a used car dealer, most people aren’t worried about naming conventions. But rules are rules dammit."

There’s a little baby bunny hopping cutely on my porch, and it doesn’t understand that it should be exceedingly thankful that my cat cannot get out.

Exactly this
