Good golly I wish the aliens would just show up so we could take them to our leaders ASAP

Bluesky is a wonderful place that has flourished in large part because of its artists and intolerance towards facists/Nazis. The Updated policy currently going into effect Oct 15 could fuck that up and we should be very vocal about it. Here are some specific things to mention in feedback (THREAD)

I’m earnestly done living in this sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist culture. Not even for myself. I’m tired seeing so many people who have so much they want to give be ground down or killed. So many of us just want to give love. Fuck this poisoned culture. We all deserve better.

hey look, "antifa."

So there's a vendor selling hot dogs marketed as popsicles, right? Well, all the hot dog scholars agree that those are definitely hot dogs. The vendor insists they are popsicles and that there is a hotdog conspiracy.

The lack of mainstream coverage of regular huge protests reminds me of a talk from a Twitter employees who explained that they had to drop BLM off the Trending Tags section because otherwise it would have been there permanently. The modern media environment has no appetite for sustained movements.

You can make very real impact sending some money here.

Oh yay a flat tire. Just what everyone wants first thing on a Monday morning

K-dramas are my life right now. Please send help. Actually, don't. I'm having a great time

We are outraged and deeply distressed that armed federal agents came onto our campus—making arrests on the very ground where, in 1942, Japanese American families were forced to board buses bound for concentration camps. It was a deliberate act of provocation and intimidation.

Saying gentrification “makes a neighborhood safer” is racist. White folks move into places they once avoided, drawn to the culture BIPOC built, then act like their presence is the reason for safety. BIPOC communities aren’t dangerous just because they exist.

Using Section 107 of the Labour Code to force binding arbitration on a Union exercising their rights as workers is bad and wrong. As is using the Notwithstanding Clause to bypass rulings you don't like. Overriding people's rights is bad and undemocratic

"You can't strike, you're too important" from a judge or government should instantly make you side with the people striking. They're *that* important but they get treated like shit? Nah. Naaaah. Let the government force better conditions.

I'm still riding the high from my Thursday night Star Trek Adventures @startplaying.bsky.social with @aramvartian.com . Seriously the best Star Trek session I've played. We bought in HARD and played a fun twist on the Kobayashi Maru simulation; so much so that most of us forgot it was a simulation

Beepboopbop anybody need anything drawn today? A lil character art? A lil monster? A lil popular fictional character looking directly into "camera" telling you they're proud of you? #commissionsopen #kofi #art #brokeaf

Zionism is gross.

I’d appreciate if you all used this form to ask for the things we asked for in the open letter regarding Palestinians on here

Had an internal job interview today and I'm so glad I chose the earliest timeslot because afterwards I worked outside in a vineyard all day (34°C) and that would have really ruined my impression haha

The fleet is finished! 🖖 #StarTrek

Anas Jamal Al-Sharif left these words for if he was martyred. I read them shared on Al Jazeera. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

Murdered. The word is murdered.

A lot of Palestinians managed to access things like sugar and cheese yesterday because the prices fell quite abruptly and the shops managed to fill shelves again. Now is a really good time to donate so they can stock up. If you're overwhelmed by the number of people in need, just choose randomly.

It's August, and 2025 feels like the longest year ever. For some comfort I've decided to watch all of Tom Hank's movies. The last time I did this was in 2020 with Keanu Reeves films Which TH film is your favourite?

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

Israel destroyed a Palestinian seed bank today. This is such a specific kind of evil, targeting literal hope for the future. Attempting to further alienate Palestinians from their home and land. So much destroyed just for the sake of destroying. It's awful.

I didn't know what this meant functionally, so I fell down Wikipedia gravity well. Highly recommend. Donate to Wikipedia while you're at it

Again, please make your donations to medical aid and doctors groups. Stage 5 Famine means that there are currently 10s of thousands of people that need specialized medical care for extended periods. They need medical supervision and specialized feeding to avoid refeeding syndrome and likely death.

WCK can use your donations. They are on the ground in Gaza, doing what they can in the face of a staggering and ongoing crime against humanity.

If you have money to spare, make your donations to medical aid and doctors groups. When the 🍉 blockade falls (we must continue to believe it will) there are 10s of thousands of people that will need specialized medical care for extended periods. Recovering from famine requires medical supervision

I think I'm shadow banned for posting about Gaza, so if you see this please share! Rainbow camp is now at 80% of their operating costs and are almost there. Let's get them the rest of the way!

‘We faced hunger before, but never like this’: skeletal children fill hospital wards as starvation grips Gaza

Rainbow camp is up to 71% of their operating costs for the year! Let's get them to the finish line! I'm matching your donations up to $250.

How has it become shameful to say "I am against the bombing and starvation of children"? Silence should be more shameful!

Hot off the sewing machine! Can't wait to wear this in my next Star Trek Adventures game!

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Rainbow Camp, for 🇨🇦 queer youth aged 12-17, needs your help! They've lost a lot of U.S-based corporate sponsors because of DEI stuff. They're looking to raise enough to cover costs this year and make sure as many kids have a chance at a life-changing, validating week at camp as possible.

Oooh me too. One like, one opinion!
