Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

I'm reading reviews of an acclaimed novel whose writing style I absolutely adored, and some readers write "cringey," too many metaphors, too many big words, and "literally gagging at the dialogue booo." It really is wild how much literary tastes vary! #booksky #books #writesky

Bluesky had bots/trolls/chuds from the beginning. If there's social media, you have assholes and automated accounts. Fortunately, Bluesky's blocking and moderating tools are best in class, so the bots/troll/chuds don't have to be more than a momentary problem.

remember, the blitzkrieg is intended to make you feel like there is nothing you can do about it; that’s the only reason to go forward in this haphazard and sloppy manner all in the first week and the choice of that strategy tells you they are afraid you will do something about it

I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because @bsky.app is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat. I can't say it enough. Bluesky can be the influence that can counter RW media.

I know staying informed vs staying mentally okay is a delicate balance. I really appreciate Aaron's format and presentation. I can get caught up in 5 minutes or so, and if I want I can scroll substack for more. But Aaron is great for communicating info without doomsaying (I can do that myself, ty)

Don't forget to add alt text to your images. There's even a helpful setting you can turn on that makes it required, which saves my bacon a lot because I forget sometimes in haste.

This. Writers want to write and readers want to read: the job of a publisher is make the books flow one direction and the money flow the other. See a niche no one is serving? You can fill that gap. Exactly how changes every few years in the internet age, but the principle is the same.
