alright squad it's time to teach bsky a thing I learned off Twitter before it stopped being Twitter how to (somewhat) AI-proof your ao3, a thread by chief đź§µ (repost to save a fanfic author etc etc)

The overt use of digital authoritarianism is only going to expand now that palentir and the techno fascists are building comprehensive databases and connecting social media to real world government big data etc.

volume up 👍

“People are realizing that there are consequences to their vote, that things don’t happen in a vacuum. The realization is that a lot of people knew that Trump’s policies would hurt people. They just didn’t think they would hurt them and that’s why they didn’t care.”

the thing about that “first they came for” poem is that we’re already at least 2-3 lines deep and it’s not a very long poem

That's directly contrary to Acting DHS General Counsel Joseph Mazzara's sworn April 15 declaration. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

MAGNETO WAS RIGHT

In 90 years of social security, we have never had a check bounce or be late, but they want you to believe the system is broken.

i think most white americans who have never been Policed don’t realize that you are always already a criminal. the second anyone with institutional power believes you to be, needs you to be, or wants you to be a criminal you are and always have been.

This is where your Harry Potter money goes

Eugenic thinking is so thoroughly pervasive in the US that the first and most intuitive thought people get to oppose it, is also a form of eugenics. Americans have a very hard time not going "what if we solved this eugenics by doing this other eugenics?"

My cover for ACTION COMICS 1088, out this July!

It's time to start reminding people: LILIES ARE DEADLY FOR CATS. The leaves, the petals, the stem, even drinking a bit of vase water or licking a few grains of pollen from their fur can cause fatal kidney failure. ⚠️ www.fda.gov/animal-veter...

If you decide not to vaccinate your child because you subscribe to conspiracy theories about them causing autism, what you’re actually saying is that you would rather your child die than your child live with a disability. Your love for your child is conditional and you shouldn’t be a parent.

hope all the businesses who've been enjoying this month of tariffs also enjoy getting ransomware because they can't prioritize patching efficiently anymore

You do not solve violations of due process of law with violations of due process of law, especially when violations of due process of law at this stage will be immediately overturned on appeal.

this is also one of the reasons these ppl hate the federal workforce so much, where the Bigot's Veto has been removed from the process with more success than anywhere else

“We’re not willing to kick out ICE, or the NYPD, but maybe you could donate some money to the they’ll be kidnapped anyway fund.”

This is darkly hilarious. Because I'm rapidly approaching 30 campus speaker disinvitations for talks on a book about how the Title IX system protects perpetrators and retraumatizes survivors. But that was the goal of the "free speech" panic all along: to suppress critiques of conservative thought.

I was mortified writing this, but every day I’m glad I did so I can point to it. It is so strange sometimes to have your cancer book be regarded as fluff because you put some jokes in. Thank you to all those who ever took Long Live Evil seriously, as well as laughing.

Hey, did you know there's an alternative to ChatGPT that makes sense economically and doesn't destroy the environment? It's called English majors and they will happily fix all of your documents for the low price of health insurance and a living wage.

this has basically stalled out at the halfway mark for the past two weeks so boosting again

Jewish safety was invoked as a reason to pull funding from Columbia, but when you look at the research grants that were cut off you will notice that they include research into cancer's that disproportionately affect Ashkenazi Jews, such as uterine cancer. taggs.hhs.gov/Content/Data...

Trump's slew of ridiculous executive orders have really begun to hit many organizations that I know. The thought in my head right now is how so many people believe that the Federal government doesn't do anything or does everything poorly. But we're watching what happens when they stop doing things.

How do I get this please and thank you

Round of applause for this social media person

The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes per year — enough to end homelessness, hunger, and pay for universal childcare. 👆🏻 This is the crime wave we should be talking more about.

Discworld QOTD, from Men at Arms “There were people who’d steal money from people. Fair enough. That was just theft. But there were people who, with one easy word, would steal the humanity from people. That was something else.”

The White House cites an NPR feature that states "banana slugs are hermaphrodites" as a reason to cease public funding of the network. But banana slugs literally are hermaphrodites! Like that is just a scientific fact! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_...

Bukele has already returned migrants to the U.S. because they were from Central America or they were women—migrants the Trump admin had unilaterally declared as “criminals.” This is all a joke to them. It’s truly sick.

Columbia fumbled the ball big time. Cowardice gets you nowhere.

Time to pull this quote out again They didn’t all vote for Nazis out of antisemitism. But for none of them was it a dealbreaker

Just got word from my college roommate - who is the state archivist for the state of South Dakota - that due to the DOGE shutdowns of IMLS, they can no longer fund InterLibrary Loan in SD. This means exchange between libraries, ability to get books delivered across the system, is gone as of 4/30.

Happy ADHD Tax Day to all who celebrate

once more, for the evening crowd - and I’ll try to get back to posting like normal (or the new normal, anyway) tomorrow, I promise; I just want to get every dollar I can for this under-appreciated little no-kill shelter in Tennessee 👇👇👇

@schumer.senate.gov I believe you said the US would be in a constitutional crisis if Trump ignored the Supreme Court. Trump is now ignoring the Supreme Court. Please respond.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

"It's not antivaxxers fault they believed the Lancet" no, but it is their fault they have ignored 25+ years of follow on work in which the Wakefield study has been discredited and contradicted constantly and also shown to have been done unethically.

David Huddleston on the 5 Stages of an Actor's Life (with Jack Elam & John Wayne):

Do you know the difference between “$2 trillion” and “$150 billion”? About $2 trillion.

It's as American as chattel slavery, the Trail of Tears, Japanese internment, and Indian Boarding Schools. Project 2025 really isn't relying on any other history than America's. I need y'all to tap into what has been happening here all along.
