UT philosophy PhD candidate Patty Reyes (@blackholeness.bsky.social) to give talk at Gogbot Festival on social media mobilization: www.utwente.nl/en/bms/phil/...

I love doing this

I'm back in actionnn this Saturday at the #GOGBOT festival, and in collaboration with @sickhouse-nl.bsky.social; I'll be hosting a talk/discussion about mobilizing for political action without social media. (is it even possible?! 🥴 Let's talk about it!) + info: www.gogbot.nl/symposium/mo...

reminder: climate fatalism becomes starkly absurd when you put it in literal, immediate and physical terms. Oh no there's just no way we can ever stop handing billions in subsidies to this coal mining company. Damn, we're doomed. Guess we just keep on doin it

I'm so tired of all the online services boasting about their AI-powered features. I truly could not care less about your AI-powered features. In fact, I have an absolute disdain for your AI-powered features. I'd be more likely to pay for your services if you didn't have those.

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire

Take back your attention.

Hi, I’m the developer of Sky Follower Bridge👋 Recently, a company that once impersonated my tool's site to redirect users to ads released a paid tool with the same name as my tool. I’d like to share my thoughts on this. It's a bit long, but I'd appreciate your time. 🧵 (1/5)

Pro-tip for anyone who's recently joined Bluesky, use the "Sky Follower Bridge" extension to find out whom from your Twitter community is already on this platform 💓 www.sky-follower-bridge.dev and kudos to @kawamataryo.bsky.social for such a brilliant tool!

little intro 🙋‍♀️ I'm a PhD researcher in Political Philosophy of Tech ⚒️💡 I specialise on the intersection of social movements and the Internet ✊🏽💻 particularly as it relates to climate justice and collective liberation. I love to experiment with open source software & alt platforms, like Bluesky! 🦋

just posted my first TikTok ever and it's only to tell people about Bluesky and Mastodon

Today Mastodon is taking another step towards its founding ideals: independence and non-profit ownership. We're transferring ownership of key assets to a new, European not-for-profit entity, ensuring our mission remains true to a decentralised social web, not corporate control […]

A new channel in a -not so- new social network and a new place to share everything we have to offer. Thank you for following Sickhouse and The Overkill Festival 💚💜🧡

what’s happening on twitter right now shows just how important it was for left of center people to leave it earlier these assholes need a target, and deprived of their preferred options they are ripping each other to shreds

I made this comic on the Syrian revolution 2 years ago. If your galvanized by whats happening rn (or bit confused) check it out. Its also got a lost of resources. This is and always was a revolution before anything else.

I am so happy with the booming of this site; I was almost considering becoming active on LinkedIn, that's how dire my social media situation was getting 😩

spent a full 20 mins scrolling bluesky thinking “wow damn everyone’s talking about sports today i guess” before i remembered i had my feed set to “sports”

welp, i started out on this app with a record number of typos 🥸

okay, since I published a couple of pieces while I was boycotting that other site; I'm going to share them here now 🙂⬇️ 1/
