Okay, so at the request of the lovely @trance.bsky.social , I'm going to tell a story about what happens when a shitty person is "just joking", and then discovers there are consequences. AKA That Time Kat Started An Antifascist Hallway Riot In The Third Grade. Grab your beverage of choice.

Reminder to comment on that art post or fanfic, and drop a review of that book. Telling creatives what you think, even if it’s just a one line sentence, truly does make a difference! And I don’t just mean ‘engagement’. I mean it will make their day. Tell someone when you love their work 🤍

I'll reiterate that I don't think the various trolls/bots/chuds here understand how comprehensive the Bluesky block function is here. It's so good that it actually encourages "don't engage, just block": nothing's left over after the block happens so there's no point engaging at all. Just brilliant.
