We condemn Vox Media’s May Day decision to lay off a majority of @polygon.com staff w/o warning as part of the sale to known media-brand-destroyer Valnet. We stand in solidarity with the staff who were laid off, and with @voxmediaunion.bsky.social in their ongoing contract negotiations.

Polygon's loss will ripple through multiple families and industries. It will be felt first by the excellent folks who were callously laid off today, the freelancers who held polygon up as the byline to have in the nerd space, and also by the small and indie creators. Absolutely terrible.

Every election. Every western country. Same narrative from the right. And somehow* this shit still gets them over the line. *Depressingly low levels of public media literacy, and a complicit commentariat, bound by their employment contracts to billionaire oligarchs...

the thing I’ll say is that I kind of hope there is no reveal at the end of severance, no real answer. to me it’s about considering how ridiculous you sound at work every day, the endless propaganda you absorb. what would pushing against that look like? how hard would it be? (Very!)

Do not buy where you would not be hired. Some companies shore up on toxic workplaces whilst others continue to seek to build safe and inclusive spaces with a diversity of ideas from people of different backgrounds.

If you are a straight, cis person and you feel that fucking knot in your stomach about what the administration is doing right now to trans people and trans children, you have to at the very fucking least say out loud in front of your friends and peers in real life "this is fucked up."

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Pierre Poilievre says Canadians are too obsessed with race because of “wokeism” and agrees with Jordan Peterson that Canada essentially had to invent and import racism because it didn’t exist here before recent decades. Canada is so fucked if this guy forms government.

This is just the beginning. Cis people, contact your reps. Do not fucking reply to my trans ass right now to tell me why you can't or won't do this one goddamned thing for trans people, just contact your Representative.

I would love to tell you about the times vaccines prevented me from getting sick, but every time it happens, I don’t notice. I just keep feeling well. Neither do you. Public health, when it’s working, is invisible.

Here's what everyone needs to know* about climate change: 🌍 It's real 👥 It's human-caused ⚠️ It's serious 💡 With immediate action, it's solvable ⌛ Later is too late * social science shows these msgs increase acceptance of the issue, awareness of the risk and, most importantly, willingness to act.

Bluesky is officially “open” now (no more invites). So just a reminder to not engage with trolls and bad actors, there is no algorithm here to promote or spread them, replying to them is what puts them on everybody’s timelines. So block and give no oxygen.
