"my child could make this" are they making it though? as in, do you let them? are they allowed to pursue art and the joy it provides? are they creating? its so hard to create nowadays. is your child given the abundance of freedom that creativity offers, or are they stifled by your judgemental mind?

The CEO of Bluesky is craven and evil. The only people that build these platforms are infected with the self-reproducing moral rot of capitalism. They have no sense of duty or stewardship. They see their monetary reward as a cleansing justification for their actions.

But really do not let this moment pass you up, call your reps and beat them over the head with evidence that ID verification will lead to uncontrollable sensitive information leaks and identity theft

This includes BIRTH CONTROL, by the way. As well as a shitload of mood stabilizers. Do NOT eat "spooky" black foods and snacks. Just don't.

Sleep Token time

Once again, this perfect @zeboydgames.bsky.social post comes to mind:

Landed in Chicago to a text from my boss about their position being eliminated. Keep your thoughts with the museum industry yall, it’s been so rough out here.

Back to muting everything about homestuck. This fandom still sucks lmao.

This whole section really.

This week has been a series of awful news

A couple folks have called today and said they got through to people, which means we are not crashing the lines nearly enough. Call, y'all. Even if you're never called before. Especially if you have a democratic senator who you don't trust to hold the line.

Don’t automatically assume that your elected officials will do the right thing because we know that half of them won’t and may try to capitulate under pressure. Call your elected officials and be a constant, unceasing pain in their ass. You elected them to work for you not the other way around.

Gotta participate in this year's -tober challenge

Inktober sets completely unrealistic expectations regarding output. Making a complete inked drawing in one day EVERY day for a month is insane and a recipe for burnout. Don’t tie your worth to something that even professionals believe is unrealistic.

Once again one of the kittens isn’t eating as much and I haven’t seen her poop so I’m stressed to hell about it. I don’t think I’m built for fostering kittens.

I think procreate has been the problem. Just doodling in clip has made me feel better about drawing again. I think I was just tired of fighting with procreate.

Alright, Homestuck pilot has me sold. Everyone did such a good job on it. Only time will tell if old hyperfixation will be back.

ordering a pup cup for my chikorita in lumiose

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Dude, I wasn't fine with TCG getting scalped to shit and now it's bleeding over into the fucking free shiny codes? Whoever's selling those, I hope a horrible tragedy befalls you,

First Battle

The Rocky Horror Picture Show opened on US screens 50 years ago today. Initially a major box office bomb, cult cinema outsiders and queer audiences quickly took up the film’s mantle and turned it into a unique and exciting way of engaging with the movies. Remember kids, don’t dream it—be it!!

hang in there

Why did Nintendo drop a furry amongus mobile game on a wednesday

I really do not understand networking and connections at all. People are so strong for learning this for fun.

Apparently a lot of ppl needs to hear this #bskycensorship

I think men should have been as bullied for liking Elon Musk (yes, even before all of this) as much as girls were bullied for Twilight or Justin Bieber. Missed opportunity tbh, big blunder on society's part.

While we’re talking moderation lists, we also have an Anti-AI mod service here. It filters AI content out of the feeds for you, is human run to minimize false flags AND you can report any AI content you find to the team to make the bluesky experience better for everyone 🧡 >> @aimod.social

My teacher builds pcs which means he keeps assuming people know some of the complex things he's talking about. Bad.

Monitor Lizard

Learning about motherboards is so hard... why is it so complicated. Why is there so many names. Just tell me where things go.

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

oh my god, WHY ARE THEY CLOSER THIS TIME AROUND

Gonna go even further: don't refer to it as "consuming media" when doing this. You aren't a consumer - it's not a product. You read books. You look at art. You watch movies and/or videos. Be careful about word choice. Reject "consume" and REJECT "CONTENT." IT IS ART. YOU ARE ENGAGING WITH ART.

I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.

To those who cancelled their Disney related subscriptions. Since Trump defunded PBS, it would help them quite a bit if you took the same money you used to send to Disney and instead, sent it to PBS/NPR.

Hey! Remember that fictional characters are not actually real people and there's no thing as 'consentual' relationships in fiction bc they can't consent, they are objects. Putting a rule where "non-consentual" nsfw art is not allowed is allowing a grey area where you can censor anything you don't-

Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches

God, I’m gonna miss them when they’re gone, they’re so sweet, look at them 🥹

I think people are too scared of being cringe and it has destroyed society

Watching Ludwig chug through A Difficult Game About Climbing made me believe in the human spirit again.
