noraby.com - Profile | ThreadSky | a Reddit-style client for Bluesky

I think I'm dropping off of bluesky for a little bit. I'm feeling a strong need to connect with my local communities for a little while. I really hope that I will find my way back. I really hope the world will let me come back. I really hope to speak to some of you again. Good bye for now.

A while back I asked folks why they’re joining Bluesky and the most common response I saw was, “I just want a good place to get my news” and, yall, no. Bad. GET YOUR NEWS FROM THE NEWS PBS Newshour is FREE FOR EVERYONE. youtu.be/PMOYN8JWdUk?...

It was only explained to me recently that the "horseshoe theory" of centrism is not that both sides are equally as bad because of their policies, it's that both sides are bad because they're both radical and want to fundamentally change society. Also clarified why all centrists are conservatives.

If information being passed around does not include these details, it's not enough to be shared. Seek clarification. Ask others to get specific. Don't share prematurely. Read more about their usage: workersdefensealliance.org/resources/sa...

With other social media sites banning words against trump or Elon, can we just do what Elon wanted to do all along and start using ✖️ to mean Nazis in certain contexts? Tie his website to the cesspools it promotes. Even if there are good people on there, maybe they'll leave.

Alright, one more: You don't have to care about every injustice in the world. You don't. It's not healthy, and you can't do anything if you're spread too thin. That's where organization comes in. Talk to other people. form groups. Trust that by pooling resources and focusing, you can change things

While I'm here, lets also quickly mention this: www.cnn.com/2025/01/21/t... LLMs require a ton of energy and information. Ramping AI is ramping info gathering. Info needs to be moderated. That info will be monitored by large companies funded by the government. This is a $500B surveillance package.

Dignity does not make us human. Moments of intentionally indignity can be empowering. it isn't something to be afraid of, it's human. It also can be a show of solidarity for those who regularly suffer indignities. Your embarrassment is not a reason to let others be dehumanized.

Amazon workers, in a form of direct protest should piss their pants in amazon warehouses. Yeah, it's embarrassing, but as a form of deliberate protest, it creates a lot of extra work and there's no real way to charge with a crime for it. If they make you hold it, you make them clean it.

Twitter, Meta, and Tiktok are all state media now. They will suppress and censor narratives, beliefs, and views opposed by the administration. Act accordingly. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I am not scared of what could be lost; I'm scared that I will enter into that loss, unaware of what it was to hold it at all. Not melancholy, not wanting, simply unaware; persistent, passive, easy. If I fight, let it not be for an idea, let it be for a reality that I can find.

When billionaires take control of vital communication platforms, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy. And when those billionaires justify their business motives by citing “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability. Don't be fooled.

Reading Rainbow of Desire by Augusto Boal on today of all days has been interesting. As a culture we often ask how the actions of our leaders will be understood in history books, but I think a more appropriate question would be how will those same actions be witnessed on a stage or in film?

We see these fleeting moments Skeets lost in a stream Each of them, a face; A mind; An eager friend. Each of them is lost- A lot like you- And looking for a moment.

Folks: please be diligent about not disseminating Ann Telnaes' cartoon in a way that she's not getting the clicks on it (until she says differently). Her IP matters now more than ever. Make it go viral but make sure she benefits. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

Stephen Sondheim's Assassins, but instead it's notable acts of violence committed by anti capitalists and gives it the same kind of "here are the ideas that led me to this action" treatment.

For the record, anyone actively posting AI art immediately gets a block from me. I don't care if they're nice or funny or anything. PLEASE if you have a funny idea draw fucking stick figures or something. Nothing is worth the amount of water and energy that AI uses, especially not a shit post

Tbh really fucked that all through college I was told "theater isn't therapy. Don't project yourself onto your character." And then you start therapy and it's all the same character building questions and integration activities Like, my teachers handed me the tools and said "don't use these"

Democracy, fundamentally must aim for equality and development of all of its citizens. If wealth is a primary factor in the development and enforcement of policy, individuals will never be equal to companies. The corrupting influence of wealth will destroy even the most noble and progressive rep.

When the status quo fails, don't drag its corpse Weekend at Bernie's style through the streets. Make connections with other people. Spend time asking questions and actually try to connect with the people you see often. You are more susceptible to tyranny as an individual than you are as a group.

Hypothetically, I bet the number of CEOs that would have to get shot to get gun reforms passed is less than the number of school shootings per year
