Everyone collectively dreaming, in their own ways, of a life that's not 90% scams and violence.

Did you know it was several decades before handwashing in hospitals was implemented after it was found to be necessary in 1846? We’re in the same boat today, except w/ airborne transmission—yes, in 2025. Unfuckingbelievable. So unnecessary, maddening, irresponsible, & dangerous. #MasksInHealthcare

Introduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie you'll never watch again, & one song you can't stand: • fresh fenugreek greens 😖 • Nosferatu (ughhhh) • quite a few that trigger my CPTSD so much that I've blocked all memory of them, it seems (good riddance tbh)

Many CPTSD survivors have experienced so many trauma symptoms on such a consistent basis that we feel like they've been woven into our personality-- & it can be hard to imagine disentangling who we are from, say, our "fight" response or hypervigilance symptom. But we can.

Who Link was here & how he formed site culture, insisting on alt text & accessibility & disability justice, insisting on standing with trans people, mutual aid, irreverent shitposting, shows exactly that this culture of early bluesky that forged the platform is the opposite of what the team wants.

Is tattooing just embroidery on live skin with ink?

Help Marah! Just because there may be a cease-fire doesn't mean the need for assistance has stopped. Pictures to make sure you can still find where to donate in the event that bluesky does their usual genocidal and prejudicial targeting of Palestinian accounts gofund.me/b4f5900a2

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

"Think Upwards" 8"x12" acrylic, wax pastels, paint pens on paper mounted on reclaimed wood Sure, things could go badly. But they could also go so, so well. What if it turns out even better than we expected?

So last night I migrated @gregpak.net from Bluesky to Blacksky's myatproto.social server for non-Black users! A few thoughts on the process for anyone thinking about this...

“First forget inspiration. Habit is more dependable. Habit will sustain you whether you're inspired or not. Habit will help you finish and polish your stories. Inspiration won't. Habit is persistence in practice.” ― Octavia Butler, Aldebaran helical rising

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

Resurfacing this piece because we love a septuagenarian art project, especially when it involves using Excel to paint 🎨 💻

A prison break is not ever more violent than the construction of the prison, or the punishment for escape. A prison break is not terrorism or oppression. It's the only possibility if the arc of history will bend toward justice. Our innate need to break free from prisons is the only true antifascism.

lots of people know Łink from what he did to promote alt text usage here. this tip about pretending you’re describing an image over the phone has been burned in my brain since i saw it

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

I'm honestly so sick of social media at this point, and not just BS.
