Reminder to people outside of streaming that this is the reality of even the top 1% streamers. Only a handful of people online make a living off of it. The vast majority of streamers and youtubers LOSE money (games, assets, visuals...) Remember that. I'm not asking you to support as, but be kind.

one time I was walking into the bar and saw someone beating the shit out of a guy who was already on the ground and before I could intervene a regular was like, oh, no, he was sticking his fingers into girls’ mouths. see that same kind of thing on here every day

I think a lot of Bluesky users are in the demographic of “people who simply will stop using social media entirely if all the text-based social platforms that aren’t run by unrepentant Nazis (like this one) go away,” myself very much included

Another collab with @aberrantcreations.bsky.social Well, it's about time! We'll drop the link early next week (6th not 13th, whoops) You were just thinking about picking up a sweet new hoodie, weren't you?!

Our fuel-up, who art in heaven,⁠ haunted be thy taste,⁠ the cursed hue of Mountain Dew,⁠ in tea as it is in soda,⁠ ⁠ Give us this day our daily leaves,⁠ and forgive us this monstrositea,⁠ as we forgive those⁠ who created the original.⁠ ⁠ 🙏 AaaAaahh-mennnnnn 🎶

when we're all unable to connect to use the internet, send emails, pay our bills, use our toasters, and god knows what else if AWS goes down, i want you to know now that i blame our lack of antitrust laws far more than i'll blame a foreign missile

I'll say it again, as this is ramping up: if you gave access to the archives of goverment data and information, it is your moral responsibility to make sure that untouched versions get preserved, now. There are people worh archival expertise who can help you, if you don't have it yourself. Start now

I don’t mean this to pile on the guy who posted about BlueSky’s engagement metrics—or lack thereof—but maybe it’s that ppl are simply tired of chasing engagement? I’m not an influencer & have no desire to be. I follow ppl I like and try to keep up with the news and see funny shit

Bondi wants to strip people of their citizenship. Do you trust her to be honest & fair? Don't put up with it. Don't put up with her. ☎️ 202 224 3121 Congressional Switchboard resist.bot/petitions/PV... #resistbot @resist.bot #Naturalized #Denaturalization

no one should ever be allowed to "close" an #adoption and legally anonymize a person from their family. we need to imagine long-term custodial care without the pernicious idea of erasing and rewriting a child's identity to suit other people's dreams of family building.

The whole world will be your enemy, prince with a thousand enemies. And when they catch you, they will smash you with a hammer. But first they must catch you.

Pew research did a study showing that birthright citizenship isn't that common in the world outside of america and a handful of other nations and like, yeah dude, its one of the few places we can genuinely point to and say this is what makes America great.

*screams from the mountain*

Please do me a solid and buy this tea. If you're in Seattle, you can go buy a cold Brujah Blast already made for you. Get Brujah Blasted

This man is going to catch himself in the crossfire of the racist fuckery that MAGA is trying to do and I don't think he realizes it. Thomas's grandfather that raised him is very lucky not to be alive for this, but I think WE would all be luckier if he were. Then somebody could talk sense into him.

This rightly frames the question, like all of the most basic questions about the nature of the political community and of human rights, as a question of the rights of *children*, who are debarred from almost all forms of participation and standing in the polis.

i am an #adoption abolitionist. This means different things to different people who favor abolition, but to me at a basic minimum it means no legal falsification of a person's vital records.

I think about that every single time a REAL ID is brought up. Because the papers adoptees use to verify for “real ID” 😒

My amended birth certificate that lists my adoptive parents as my literal biological parents has a note at the bottom: “This is to certify that this is a true and correct reproduction or abstract of the official record filed with the Virginia Department of Health, Richmond, Virginia” That’s not…

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! And because I love to recommend books, today I suggest you pick up Slow Gods by NB author Claire North. It’s the best sci-fi I’ve read in ages (reminded me of Iain M Banks and LeGuin) and really is a love letter to the expansive promise and possibilities of humanity

I was going to make a "rolling with disadvantage on stealth checks" joke about Trans Day Of Visibility, but then I got sad about the number of folks for whom stealth is actually a crucial safety and self-preservation tactic. Here's to a future where nobody has to hide their gender identity. 💔🏳️‍⚧️❤

TRANS CREATOR SUPPORT THREAD! happy #tdov! i’m hosting a lil thread for my fellow trans creators to boost their work!! 🏳️‍⚧️💕 introduce yourself and post some of your work - share shops, commissions, or anything else you want to plug! :D

“yeah, well basically all software uses AI-generated code nowadays” is not really the gotcha folks think it is, unless they haven’t recently interacted with software

So this is immensely important I *have* to do the trauma work if I ever want a peaceful nights sleep again. I cannot stress how badly I need help with this. Even if I get enough for 4 appointments, thats better than nothing.

So the bad news is that this shit stayed on my mind. But the good news is that I talked to a THIRD cousin (not a sibling of the ones who skipped both weddings and not the one whose wedding it was or a sibling of them) and he agrees that this situation is all fucked up. 🥚

how’s that big tent party going

Yo, I swear there's one of y'all in my BlueSky-osphere that fits this description. Help a friend out on this?

HOLD. THE. FUCK. UP. OH MY GOOOOODDDDDDDDD

If we want people to eat "healthier," we have to make it easier to find joy in things other than food. Like, by guaranteeing paid time off, increasing wages to reduce overwork, lowering housing costs to reduce commutes, and providing healthcare to ensure that bodies/minds are strong enough for fun.

My bio parents, I need to stress to you, have not spoken since mum realized I'd been conceived and fucked off across the country in a panic, ghosting dad in the process. Or rather they HADN'T until yesterday when they ran into each other at their local No Kings protest. 😅 🥚

Huge turnout in Avon Lake OH (west of Cleveland) even a pride frog! A couple assholes with Trump flags drove by purposely spewing exhaust on us. But otherwise overwhelming support. We stood next to some grannies who yelled thank you at everyone who honked. #NoKings

Really feels like non-grass-touching Bluesky thinks these events are a lot more centrist than they actually are

So yeah, in an era where so many GLEEFULLY ignore the environmental, humanitarian, ethical impacts of Big Business to save pennies I try to avoid playing a role in that deathspiral Artists deserve to eat rest feed our pets you deserve nothing less than the best we can do. That's the deal. (5/fin)

The fundamental problem isn't one of messaging, talking points, or compromise. It's the fact there are billions of dollars funding a massive propaganda machine targeting a tiny minority. That's what we need to dismantle through class solidarity to win.

If this isn't the coolest bag you've ever seen, you're wrong. I'm sorry to tell you this, but you're just wrong. This is so fucking awesome that it makes me feel warm and glowy inside just looking at it.

I don't normally subscribe to the "German has a word for it" thing because all languages can invent and borrow new words! That said, I can't stop thinking about "hobbyless" as an insult since I saw it a few days ago, so here you go It promotes a growth mindset!! www.tumblr.com/abbiistabbii...

Today I learned that National Orgasm Day is on July 31st. So instead of celebrating the birthday of a character made up by somebody who sucks, how about you go fuck yourself? To completion!

No. Your childhood nostalgia does not matter more than the lives of real people. And frankly I'm fucking tired of having to pretend that isnt a fucking insane thing to say in response to "please don't support the hate monger lady's soggy, reheated nachos"

Yo, this sale includes Arcade Spirits: The New Challengers. The game whose polyamory route I advised on! Which, for how small a part of everything it is, is still something I'm damn proud of!

I bought this entire trilogy and tore through all three books in two days. (And yes I *DID* stay up until 2:30am reading the last one.) These books are fantastic, the interconnected lore is impeccable, & the sexy bits are delightful. Help! I want more historical smut set in the gayest castle ever!

The teleological purpose of North American wilderness is killing you. (It’s very beautiful while it’s pursuing that purpose, though.)

We are at the “Dems should listen to His Holiness instead of James Carville” part of American deterioration.

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

A federal judge in Massachusetts blocked RFK Jr.’s overhaul of the childhood vaccine schedule. The American Academy of Pediatrics and other medical groups sued the Department of Health and Human Services arguing Kennedy’s changes violated federal law. The judge agreed.
