Hey hey can people please make an effort to not tag me under the team’s posts for my mental health 💕 to find the mega thread, search “concentrated thread” Thanks.

Here is a few examples of how the team has handled some of the big issues of the past. Add more if you have them

Here is why there is outrage: When it was white users, they showed up and out for them. But for Black users: Crickets. This is why it’s going on for days.

They can build a algorithm to censor nice ass tiddies and ass, be all adamant and rude to people with names similar to celebs and claim impersonation, Tell people if you depressed you can get banned swiftly. Banned the word of a food item as slur: But allow n---er as a user handle. LMAO.

When Black people fight for safety and a space being fun It’s for **everyones** benefit. Always.

Making one concentrated thread people can bookmark to be aware of things that happened on BlueSky. Others are free to throw in things that can be left out. Just posting articles I know of but to not have things scattered anymore (regard antiblackness , moderation,etc)

love that the supreme court rewrote public accommodations and anti-discrimination law based off of hypotheticals and fake facts

WaPo confirms @melissagiragrant.com's reporting that the central factual contention in the 303 complaint was false and apparently never investigated by ADF https://wapo.st/3ptAJ7f

Could be totally off base here, but Twitter 2.0’s mission of becoming “the world’s most accurate real-time information source” might go better if they hadn’t just spent 6 months ripping out literally all the technology, policies, and teams required to do that.

This is honestly a lower number than I expected. There being no fatalities involving Tesla’s Autopilot seemed like a statistical impossibility but there only being 17 seems within the realm of accidents that could have happened regardless of Autopilot being involved or not.

Holy shit

The source code for the MTA Alerts bot is now public: https://github.com/skiniks/mta-alerts-bot @atproto.com

But y’a know Black folks are too loud and the real issue

DHS warns of attacks against government buildings, minority groups ahead of 2024 election https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/dhs-warns-attacks-government-buildings-minority-groups-ahead-2024-elec-rcna86067

I’m just feminist enough to think that a 28-year-old that defrauded the public out of billions shouldn’t try to blame it on a man.

I’m a 37 year old with dentures. I didn’t have access to dental care most of my adult life due to lack of financial resources. Dental care should be included with healthcare, and it should be both affordable and accessible to EVERYONE, period. Teeth should not just be for the rich.

Foad Dabiri, Twitter’s director of engineering on Growth, has resigned effective today.

Texas kids as young as 4 years old are being given Winnie-the-Pooh cartoon books, teaching them to “run, hide, fight” if a gunman enters their building The book has been sent home in the backpacks of children in pre-K and elementary classes

Do your civic duty

Amid massive public outcry about surveillance and safety, the Los Angeles City Council voted Tuesday to accept the donation of a $280,000 robot dog for LAPD.

:: Mike Wallace visited Tina Turner’s villa in the south of France, and he asked her: “Do you feel like you deserve all this?” To which she replied: “I deserve more.” :: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/09/theater/tina-turner-musical.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

is there any chance people will act normal about this or

Does anyone else duck when someone Facetime’s them without giving you time to prepare for the call? 😂

Not saying I’m a scientist, but I’ve been told I generate lots of positive energy

BREAKING: Physicians in New York City are on strike for the first time in 33 years. 150 trainee doctors walked out on strike today at Elmhurst Hospital in Queens. They're pushing back against the low pay residents get for extremely long hours and grueling work.

You don’t make me feel bad at all, but you are insufferable. 99.99% of my Twitter mutuals, most of which are Black, aren’t on here. You think I’m gonna abandon Black Twitter to spend all my social media time on here in this sea of whiteness talking about Alf selfies all day? Get a grip.

This is really insensitive to sex workers and other marginalized groups. Do better.

They won’t because Zuckerberg did Black people hella dirty in Facebook. 😚 Zuckerberg banned me non-men accounts for saying “men are trash” , for saying “white people” (even if mentioning the movie) and a bunch of other things. Zuck fumbled big time

MUTUAL AID THREAD! I want to use my visibility on something I care about. This is for marginalized groups only! Please post and share links . No need to trauma porn or explain yourself. You deserve help regardless of situation. 🥰🫶🏾This should be a nice composed thread to share & amplify.

Don’t mean to put pressure on the Blue Sky team, but by every report Facebook is adding a Twitter clone to Instagram and launching it next year. I think they have six months max to really grab the Twitter exodus market, else it’s just going to Zuckerberg.

“We don’t drink water out of the toilet”

What’s the ETA on pinned skeets? I wanna pin this here, too.

To everyone doing the unfollow/refollow thing: Can you please just be normal and work the comments like eveyone else? I can't speak for everyone but I'm personally 1000x more likely to follow back after a good comment than after seeing the same account follow me fir the 10th time

this is an attack on Title IX rights, which also protects ALL GIRLS AND WOMEN in education. not only is this vile transphobia, but it's meant to weaken civil rights for *all* students

BREAKING: A Mississippi school district can forbid a 17-year-old transgender girl from attending her graduation unless she wears male-designated attire instead of a dress under her robe, a Trump-appointed federal judge ruled tonight. Her graduation is at 6 p.m. Saturday.

Patients are protesting from their hospital beds to #KeepMasksInHealthcare. This is powerful! #MaskWeekOfAction

The media is too quiet on stories like--docs waiting until sepsis before lifesaving abortion care- & we haven't been hearing abt the deaths. https://abcnews.go.com/US/woman-sepsis-life-saving-abortion-care-texas/story?id=99294313&fbclid=IwAR1okIjXpS169G1gdsffn1_791V4AMfh72K8vbccoNPTdBMrB3xpijFnydw

Aside from journalists doing their job, it’s a waste of an invite code to come in and constantly talk of Elon Musk. You can go to twitter to talk of him, but to constantly mention in every other post about him? Perhaps your posts are better equipped there.

It’s coming from the same group of rightwing aligned think tanks that have been pushing that exact line about other cities like Minneapolis and New York City. Some are Clermont institute and Manhattan institute members. Some are just rightwing propaganda outlets.

“They’ll teach twitter’s collapse in business schools” Maybe? I guess so. Probably less informative than you’d think though. You could also show Wile E Coyote cartoons as part of OSHA training but most workers probably weren’t planning to glue firework rockets on their roller skates
