I wonder what it is about your identity or politics that means you might not be getting any flack from the fascist… real puzzle that one.

I did a little cry

Families of military servicemembers are filling up care packages as they worry troops in the Middle East will go hungry. But delivery to military ZIP codes across the Middle East has been indefinitely suspended as of April, and packages in transit now hang in limbo. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

I was genuinely unaware bsky was down, just rolling along on blacksky and didn’t even notice. Thanks Rudy & Team.

#Labour projected to get 33 seats vs #SNP 47. I think we are going to need a bigger bin www.thenational.scot/news/2599658...

Aren’t you worried about losing the whip calling out Wes Streeting like that?

It’s so disappointing to see #Labour in fourth place. Come on folks! We can get them into fifth if we try

Lots of us have been calling for a PinkNews boycott for a few years now. But an uncritical Wes Streeting op ed about trans people? Hopefully this is the final straw for a lot of people.

Holy fuck this is wonderful news

Translated from “labour whining” to english “I know four Labour MPs who understand that the Labour party *is the problem* but are too cowardly to stick their head over the parapet and don’t have the spine to resign the labour whip over its genocidal policies“. Get better friends Kaz.

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent. State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes. www.wired.com/story/gramma...

I am shocked to find out someone who doesn’t know how social media works, and has no functioning theory of mind, also doesn’t understand how books work

A lot of y’all have been asking me to help you with understanding migration from Bluesky to Blacksky, this sums it up perfectly and explains it from A to Z: docs.blacksky.community/migrating-to... If you run into any trouble knock on my door or hit up support.

If you were laid off from Block (or anywhere) and want to stay remote, @roost.tools is hiring for multiple SWE roles and levels. If you're the kind of person who's deeply satisfied by figuring out why a service has multiple databases and ripping some out, we might be for you! roost.tools/careers

Can we get the word around for more donations to go to BlackSky so there’s funding for the infrastructure that can bring Link back? From my understanding: Relays are costly and expensive. Anyone feel free to chime in. Bluesky relays is what has him banned. opencollective.com/blacksky

On staging.blacksky.community and I can see @spacelawshitpost.me again, which was the reason I took time to figure out how to get out of the white run version of the app, and man I did not expect it to feel this good. Thanks @rude1.blacksky.team. I appreciate the work you did to enable this choice

Nosy Violet #CatsOfBluesky #Books

Me and Violet are nailing this cosy thing lads #Caturday #CatsOfBluesky

It’s #Caturday here so here’s a little clip of Violet enjoying her favourite show #CatsOfBluesky

Someone is asking why I am still working. #CatsOfBluesky

The Nobel Committee have the opportunity to do just the funniest thing https://www.thenation.com/article/activism/the-nation-nominates-minneapolis-for-the-nobel-peace-prize/

GOP outspent the Dems 5:1, Trump endorsed the GOP candidate, and the Dems still pulled off a 30 point swing in a seat they haven’t won in 75 years 🔥

Let’s Fucking Go!

Co-signing this. There are all kinds of ways of making Nazis miserable for the rest of their worthless and hopefully short and miserable lives without being part of a system that degrades other people

Just had the first properly hit-the-spot grilled cheese since becoming #vegan, thanks to Kindaco, and J am going back to their shop to order one of everything

If I were a govt fighting to hide the details of a rich guy child rape club i would probably steer clear of messaging like “stop struggling”

Just praising my lovely home vet service. My rescue, Violet, hates being handled, hates being confined and hates travel and her last visit to the vet practice left her with 2 days of stress cystitis. A gentle, skilled home vet service has been literally life changing for her (and me) #CatsOfBluesky

One of the reasons I push back as hard as I do on "cities are scary" nonsense is that I do not accept the view that we should treat unfounded fears as legitimate, and we have too long indulged the unfounded, racist fears of conservatives. And that in turn is leading to a moment...

Finally now our priority should be, better bloody late than never: We need INDEPENDENCE from the USA. That means security independence, economic independence, digital independence. It isn’t easy but we have no choice. That should be our number 1 goal.

Very glad to help this initiative. Also fun nerdy project for the new year and a nice way to wardrive to fight surveillance fascism

I’m not sure how much weight to give to this theory, given he was convicted on State charges, in New York state

And they were all of them deceived, for Tiny Tim did *not* die

Former BBC employee Jack Murley has posted on Instagram about the repeated homophobic abuse he received while working for the corporation - often from BBC staff. He says the BBC has now formally apologised. www.instagram.com/p/DSaZBd4DO8F/

A lot of ground covered in a short post

That feeling in the middle of a discussion about care for your cat when your vet says “hang on… are a medical professional?” and you explain no that the cat is just the love of your life and so you learned about feline grimace scale, adverse events, ckd etc etc. #CatsOfBluesky

On the other hand it makes me very happy. Not as happy as when the Atlantic loses a subscriber, but still very happy

Friend of mine is exploring gender presentation and is looking for LGBTQ+-friendly shops in Manchester which might stock femme clothes in a range of larger sizes. Does anyone have any recommendations please?

Something plague something something both houses something

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Switched from the @bsky.app client to skeets after I noted that a polite reply, from a person I follow and who follows me, to a post of mine was hidden. I don’t need idiots deciding what I see, and it is beyond clear that the challenging of moderating is far, far beyond the capabilities of this team

And Lexie is home with her lovely new family, and I can go to sleep without being sad about her being cold and hungry #CatsOfBluesky
