Laughing at journalists who say if Bluesky was nicer to them there’d be more journalists here like…you don’t know your audience AT ALL. Trying to shame Bluesky into behaving the way you personally want is like trying to keep a cat off a counter. That cat is gonna be on the counter EVEN MORE now.

A few days ago my friend lost his young daughter to a rare genetic condition. Because it’s uncommon capitalist research institutions don’t dedicate money or time to studying it even though a cure is possible Please help honor her memory by voting for Batten Disease research to receive grant funding

Wow, this is... yup. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pqs0... I'm 1976, so I'm at the oldest part of Xennial. And I do bridge those two main generations nicely.

THIS IS ME. If it's been forever and you've not heard from me, please poke me. I will not consider it rude!

"Fascist" and "Nazi" weren't slurs applied to the Italians and Germans by their political or military opponents. That's what they called themselves. This madness will not end until we make the names Trump's regime calls themselves universally acknowledged slurs. daringfireball.net/2026/01/th...

Remember how the NBA stopped playing the same day that COVID was declared a global pandemic? 4 days later, states began their lockdowns. Yeah...

So I changed my VM message on my phone and silenced unknown callers due to the high volume of spam calls lately for "loan applications" "This number is on the FTC Do Not Call Registry. If you are receiving this message, you are either an unknown caller or the user is busy." (cont)

Important to do. Prevent the anti trans activists from infiltrating the council of Europe!

The past 14hrs can go fuck itself... First my mom was ambulanced to the ER with cardiac arrhythmia, she ended up getting released just after I logged out. I ended up waking up multiple times with severe pain in my guts (likely IBS), and this morning I'm finding my favorite aunt is in the Hospital

Y'know, growing up it was weird watching "Boy Scout" go from something which was a mark of knowing "that person is a good person" to an epithet spat out with the same vitriol "virtue signaling" would be used for later. Like, 5/6ths of the Scout Law are things you'd WANT out of people. 1/7

"you're a man" ad hominem "you were born a boy" sunk cost fallacy "you're amab" false dichotomy "you have xy chromosomes" false equivalence "trans people are mentally ill" non sequitur "changing your sex isn't possible" skill issue

Just completed Neva. This game is a work of art. It's so beautiful, sad, and just amazing. I wholeheartedly recommend it to folks.

So.... does everyone agree that Danny Pudi would play John Linnell in a movie about They Might Be Giants?

(Sharing the words of a dear friend because I am not thoughtful enough to gather all of this myself) Today is the Transgender Day of Remembrance - a day to memorialize those who have been murdered as a result of transphobia. 1/14

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city. We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

Covid shot acquired!

New high score!! Game 3 was amazing!

Holy crap!! This is one heck of a cover to end on!!!

Mystery Skulls at Meow Wolf!

Holy shit! This was three feet from me!

And finally!! OK Go!!

Concert is INDIEVERSE. OK Go, DEHD, Bartees Strange, Dead Pioneers, and Pink Fuzz. A benefit for the local NPR music station. www.cpr.org/event/indiev...

I adore Dead Pioneers!! Their music is SO angry and political. The front man, Gregg Deal, is Paiute (Native American) and yeah. You can guess the themes. Their biggest hit is “Bad Indian”

God this concert is kicking ass.

I'm already exhausted with calling the murder of a man who advocated mass murder of minorities, stated deaths from shootings are an acceptable cost for the 2nd Amendment, and has pushed such vile and evil and backwards ideals for decades a tragedy. No, his death is a good thing.

“So what if he disagreed with you, he didn’t deserve to die” But he thought I did. This isn’t disagreement. It’s someone who was not only opposed to my existence but was called a good and faithful servant by the church for doing it. I don’t have to mourn that. And asking me to is violence too.

Help out a good friend of mine who is in a horrible situation due to an asshole Cybertruck owner. (Yeah, I know those are synonyms) If you can spare anything it would really be helpful. gofund.me/3f8ad8048

Back to bowling!

He further platformed Charlie Kirk. Even if you are willing to (I'm ABSOLUTELY not) overlook his hideous take on trans people, he's a horrible person willing to push the Overton window to the right to get power. He *CAN NOT* be allowed to succeed with that.

I need Democratic online types to understand that because of this, Newsom is dead to me. Dead. I'd sooner vote for an actual corpse. There is no hope, none, that he'll win me over, *because he has established he is a bad person*. There's no coming back from this. Take my advice and move the fuck on.

By this token: Cisnormativity/Transphobia is the barrier. Heteronormativity/Homophobia is the barrier. Neuro-Discriminition is the barrier. mastodon.world/@jeffowski/1...

I think a lot of these “perfect is the enemy of good so we’re ok with anti-trans candidates” are just privileged white people facing adversity for the first time in their entire lives and are so fucking fragile and terrified they’re willing to do anything and kill anyone to protect themselves.

Yay Balloons!

“Gagging”

THIS is amazing of the band, and so overwhelmingly disappointing for the event and promoter. @heynowdana.com had you heard about this yet?

Fuck no. There was never main stream questioning about throwing away LGBTQ kids, or shaming and shunning kids that want more a equitable world. And until there is a BROAD apology for that shit no the snubbing continues. To steal what they say, "Why should we respect them when they won't respect us?"

My new name came from my old initials via a nickname, and then an online persona. J D S = Jades (Jay Dee Ess) which evolved to Jaded (Jadedfox is still my online persona), and then a friend dropped the final D, and hearing that blue screened me, and I knew Jade HAD to be my name.

This is gonna drive people off Bluesky. Mastodon is nice, if you take the time to understand it. But... when does Bluesky plan on having other decentralized folks running servers? They gonna make that more approachable? (It's currently a crazy expensive nightmare) bsky.social/about/blog/0...

Never forget that protesting, boycotting, moving and raising your voice are all privileges. There are people who lack the physical ability, health, finances or safety to participate in these forms of resistance. Don’t shame them, find ways to include them. Don’t judge them, fight for them.

The local representatives and senators here are going to learn why Feinstein , (then Butler, moved before Schiff) and Boxer, (then Harris, now Padilla) all knew my name personally. (I called... ALL THE TIME, often daily) Specifically Gabe Evans, who is lying to us openly to defend Trump.

It says something about the people loudly going off about the "sin of empathy"

Y’all keep waiting for to see a glimmer of humanity in people who don’t see you as human and I don’t get it

This is absolutely testing the waters, this is a Republican mayor AND city commissioner, attempting this and succeeding would set precedent for it to happen elsewhere, keeping them in office past the end of their terms.

THIS is what a country that CARES looks like. The US and the UK are pushing to make hate and bigotry the law of the land.

Huh, just discovering @for.shame.wtf This is neat. Doesn't block anyone, but scans for someone's nasty follows and badges them with it. Wish you could make it custom though.

It feels to me like Gen-X just barely got a few people in office, and Millenials got none, and we just moved from Greatest/Boomer to Gen-Z.
