Hey!! I have been saying this but please hear me when I say that we need community more than ever right now. We are in this together and no one is coming to save us. Be kind, be helpful, at least repost the thread. You know the rules 🖤

She is a radical now. Liberals abandoning her was inevitable. Greta isn't playing the cute little autistic girl fighting for climate change anymore. She's an activist with principles she's clearly willing to die for, and to the western liberal mind, that is unimaginable.

Unlike your typical (white) western liberal who is content with half-assed symbolic gestures, Greta actually walks the walk. She could just be living a cushy life among the liberal intelligentsia right now, but she's made it pretty clear she has actual convictions. It's admirable.

Pretty boring to see Americans and Europeans jack off against each other over who is more fucked up politically

RSS is, and I say this without hyperbole, an incredibly useful tool for psychological independence in the current environment. Newsblur, as Vajra suggests, is good, I use Feedbin, there are others. Most remarkably easy to set up.

there’s a reason most companies keep us non-client-facing, even if we think we’ve got great social skills

If you spend all your time looking at an app where everything looks the same, you might forget that the web still exists and people are still blogging out there.

"everybody has a smartphone these days lol" false. that's something you made up. only 91% of Americans have smartphones. those last 9% are still people who deserve services (and probably need them more than anybody else). that's still like 30.6 million people

The Covid pandemic hasn't ended by the way

It’s really hard to describe to people who are not artists how survival mode does *not* inspire creativity, as the myth would have us believe. It suppresses creativity as you try to limit every possible risk – and the opportunities that come with them.

yeah gee I wonder why, of course you'd lead with those untrustworthy transes

This. It's at the very least a conflict of interest. Is do I far as to say it could be grounds for disqualification from any form of gender care.

It looks like Etsy was separated from Throne as a recognized vendor and I have to assume that's a tariff issue. Really hard to support the smaller vendors I was hoping to this way.

I really don't have energy to look at whatever round of drama this is, but Link is an important member of the community who helped onboard a lot of us when this place was invite-only and should be unsuspended. @bsky.app - get a comms person and practice using the damn block button. #freelink

Not really surprised Bluesky's auto-moderation system is ableist.

The early trans internet was a place where we learned to become real in secret. Now, our language is everywhere — but its origin, the urgency behind it, has been erased. The same culture that was once a lifeline is now a brand strategy.

This is what the Enshittification of trans culture looks like: a culture once made from fragments of pain and brilliance, flattened into symbols for “queer visibility.” The once-transgressive ethos of “girl failure” and T4T desire became quirky aesthetics for cis queers to cosplay.

The Y2K era was the wild west of trans femininity online chaotic, brilliant, and heartbreakingly sincere. Before the sleek sanitization of “representation” and the commodification of trans aesthetics-

The internet changed that. Suddenly, through forums, IRC chats, LiveJournal posts, and messy little blog rings, trans women could see each other, talk to each other, flirt with each other, and recognize that their desire wasn’t monstrous it was liberatory.

The internet made trans lesbianism possible before the world did. Before the bars, before the discourse, before the word T4T was something you could put in your bio without flinching.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day? Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

running all the artists off a site is a great way to kill a site.

Just realized... Auto labeling amputees/people with prosthetics as porn... How do you think that ends up hitting Palestinian folks who have had their limbs blown off during a genocide and are trying to raise funds to stay alive here? Feel like throwing up yet?

Any help is appreciated

Conversion therapy isn't "voluntary" for children when their parents are the ones deciding to do it.

The Basic Income for the Arts Scheme is €325 a week, similar to what they gave out during the pandemic. This is how much they've deemed one needs in order to live in Ireland. So why is disability benefit only €244? Why are disabled and sick people expected to live so far below the poverty line?

And why is it means tested based on your partner's income if you cohabitate? I am disabled and can't work and yet I can't marry or even live with my partner of almost four years or I'll be forced to depend on his income which, through no fault of his, is not large enough to support two people.

Shit... Uhm... I'm an artist... Do you have to be an Irish National? I'll fucking move continents to make art instead of working this shitty 9 to 5.

In Ireland we grow up learning about how in the Dark Ages pilgrims would travel here from all over Europe to read books that had been saved here while they were lost elsewhere & I think we need to get our politicians to think like this about things like Basic Income. A light for the darkening world.

So much discourse *about* disabled ppl and yet not enough material support and solidarity in getting mutual aid and crowdfunding goals met. 🤔

The firehose is public, any jackass with an AI to train already has access to every single image. This is intentional, same reason why your list of people you block is public, built right into the system. It's the "we have no input" part that's the problem. Your images are already stolen.

Urgent goals still to be met: - $100 for RENT - $100 for ELECTRICAL Overdue on both, need help asap to get these covered. Please, Míkwec 💕💸

“Conversion therapy” is a euphemism for child abuse, and every mainstream medical and mental health organization has rejected this practice for decades. There is no evidence that it does anything besides harm children. It is one of the few subjects where there is an overwhelming medical consensus.

“I look ridiculous.” “I think you look adorable.” “I won’t be made a fool, Steve.” “Just one more picture.” “Fine, but after this...” “I know, I know. Nevermore.”

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that all these data centers are going into communities that have been historically targeted for exploitation and have the least amount of civic power wielded by the people living there. wordinblack.com/2025/09/alab...

I am once again asking why these data centers are all fucking SECRETS "A controversial plan to build a 2.2-million-square-foot data center on farmland may still happen. A rural community... is looking to settle a lawsuit recently filed by a development firm working for an unidentified tech giant."

An important thread and class of communication Rudy exhibits better than the official team. THIS is how you lead. Great breakdown of everything.

Trying to keep our heads above water has been exhausting. My wife and I are queer and disabled, and every month feels like survival mode. We need $400 to cover essentials like energy, water, and our car note. Anything helps!! 💵 cash.app/$nagemenna ☕ ko-fi.com/alex0671/goa... #mutualaid #helpsky

How my wife described yesterday's parent-teacher conference for our #deafkid: "Our 2nd grader is reading at a 5th grade level, and he's in the 89th percentile for math. Dang, all that ASL exposure is really messing him up." #ASL #deafed ♿

not to get sappy but 9 months sober and 8 months into HRT i have never felt more stable and fucking happy than i am right now. for the first time life feels full of possibility and growth instead of despair and instability and unknown. i feel so in control of my freaking destiny rn

someone call the etsy witches this is a fucking emergency
