We have finally reached the end of Eternal September. For those not old or nerdy enough to catch the reference, it refers to when AOL joined the rest of the Internet (starting with Usenet) 😁 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal...

Gah my phone updated to Android 16 and now several apps are no longer making room for the bottom nav buttons, so I was forced to switch to gesture nav 😭 Excuse me this is not an iProduct please give me buttons so I can have the satisfaction of tapping the Back button repeatedly when I'm frustrated

Suggestive & lewd are fine too. <3

Plural trauma coping is when you pass front around like a game of hot potatobrain #pluralgang

Great film, with hope in the face of cynicism (...and a multiversal dildo).

Some people have way too much time on their hands to throw hate around, and they really should look at the love they *could* have around them if they stopped to think for a moment about their life choices. Empathy is a feature of humanity, not a bug.

The whole Kimmel thing was never about “saving a rich white guy”. It was about censorship. Kimmel is an ally with a platform; we need him to speak against the JK Rowlings of this world. Yes. We need to apply that same energy to defending marginalized groups.

Check on your artist friends. Buy their work. Share their work. Tell them what they make is important. Support your community, uplift artists. Tell them what they make is important. We need to fucking hear it right now. Tell them what they make is important. 7/7

A comic about CNC kink I've been thinking about for a few years, and I finally decided to sit down and make it.

Oh boy @jessiegender.bsky.social has a 4¾ hour v-essay coming out (already on Nebula) about a specific #Trek species, and from just the first 15 minutes I know this is gonna be a banger

I haven't done a #motogear post in a while. Gotta do some photo shoots. But for now, tried on a new rainsuit for getting back in the saddle very soon! I won't have any trouble being visible in rain as a GIANT BANANA 😆 #motosky

Partake in the joy of creation

An article everyone participating in #blueskyblackout2025 should read: www.newstatesman.com/science-tech...

People are trying some misguided "don't post for a week" thing under the #blueskyblackout2025 tag, thinking that not posting here is going to somehow get them to rescind the latest content policy changes. Shutting up when they tell you to shut up is not even performative activism. It's compliance.

It always gives me a little smirk when I interact on a random post and get follows and reposts from people who probably didn't notice that my bio said that I post (labeled) kinky porn... Of course I'm more than just a thirst trap. And y'all have moderation settings not to see the spicy posts 😁

Ten years ago, the #gearfetish community lost its online social hub (the one I started, and later gave away during my own identity crisis), which was left to go offline by its then-owner. But it's also the 9th anniversary of the founding of @gearheads.social. Come gear up and be yourself with us! ❤️

My friends, you must continue to paint, or photograph, or scene, or create in any way that brings you joy, even if the audience is just you, in secret. Don't let the bastards take your gift of humanity, keep making what you want in this world, its your birthright.

when the fronter on SP is just "???/soup" #iykyk #pluralgang

Bad faith performative debate is at the core of "just asking questions" fascists like C.K. It's never meant to change their minds; its purpose is to plant doubt into the minds of empathetic bystanders. (It's also how a "push poll" works.) Let me tell you a story from my middle school. 🧵 1/

#kinksky hivemind: Recommendations on reliable, non-heavyweight sling frame vendors; also slings with good head support. It's time to take some pressure off my lumbar back 😆 I trust community experience even more than just well-known community names, so looking for experienced opinions. #kink #bdsm

My boy and I have been through some adventures, including a river fall and tear down to replace the gas tank, but he's sadly been sitting idle for 4 years for complicated reasons. Time to offer to let someone pick him up and fix him up. Charon, I'm going to miss you. 💔 #motosky

I unfollow folks posting generated "AI art," and accounts with mostly/only generated media are blocked on sight. Don't care what people think of this. Generative "AI" is killing art, tech, writing, and everything else, shown to make people literally less intelligent (see study below). Do better.

Software technology has been my entire life from the age of 6. (43 years ago, if you're counting.) People in my industry should know better, because we're supposed to know the difference between a helpful algorithm and this "AI" bullshit. Now it's coming to eat the industry that spawned it.

In the early 2000s, Cracker Barrel was actually a great example of a racist and queerphobic company becoming more progressive, after several lawsuits and a Justice Dept case. This is a serious rollback of those policy improvements. Time to eat elsewhere, folks. They bent the knee to the fascists.

For international dog day... You got games on your phone??

"ABDL furries are weird and gross!!" You are a coward. You are weak. This fandom is full of bizarre & strange interests and language like this is sawing the support beams of your own home. Use filters. Be an adult. We aren't kicking people out of the restaurant for ordering from a different menu.

Some good news to wake up to this morning!

Just so yall know.ya boy FITS IN A SIZE 58 LEATHER SUIT NOW AND ITS MIIIINNNEEE MY FORST SUITTTTTR YESSSSSSS #motogear #gearfetish

Broke: falling victim to the Gruen transfer Woke: putting in earplugs to isolate from the store environment Bespoke: telling another headmate to deal with the grocery store [...Hey now I like the store 😆 –⚡] #pluralgang

@jessiegender.bsky.social is a treasure. In addition to being a fabulous nerd, she speaks out on social issues and the trans/queer experience in a brilliantly funny, sometimes relatably clumsy, and always sincere way that everyone should see. (I'm a Patreon supporter, and encourage you to be too.)

I'm dying of laughter from this thread now. Ah, naïve trolls and the silly things they say.

It was never about pronouns. It was about freeing us all from an enforced hierarchical system of abuse. We stand together, or we fall alone. Generation after generation. Until liberation. Thank you for reading.

Allowing myself to explore gender expression and identity, even though I present primarily as my assigned gender, definitely helped to heal serious trauma from my early life. Go to this post in the thread (not the one below) and scroll all the way up to read all of it: bsky.app/profile/alex...

It's finally time to start diversifying my wardrobe and making it more expressive. T-shirt and jeans work fine, but that's been my standard streetwear for *way* too long. Let's see now the neo4ic order looks when it gets here 😁 (feel free to suggest more darkwear style techwear brands too!)

Beware of this specific message coming via DM. This, or some variation on it, is bait to get you to engage and talk with their fake "Bluesky support" account.

Two more accounts that have been compromised by this social engineering scam: @kaljakotka.bsky.social @thisisonmac.bsky.social If you are following these accounts, they are not controlled by the original users anymore; they fell victim to this scam, and any DMs from them are from the scammers.

I have nerve damage from the circumcision that was performed on me as an infant. My consent was taken away from me before I could even understand it. Infant circumcision is *barbaric* and needs to stop. You can let the child choose when they're older. Foster an attitude of consent, not force.

Gender is a performance and I play six different ensemble roles (and a few recurring supporting characters) all in the same show

It's amazing how quickly an egg can start to crack if given the space to do so. Empathy is everything. If you know someone in a crisis of identity, just be there for them to let them explore. Sometimes that's all it takes to grow and blossom into someone even more beautiful than before.

If you see ANY ICE ads running on my streams, please immediately report them as offensive and inappropriate.🤬 ⚠️I want to reiterate a point here: Twitch streamers get no say on what ads are run on our streams, they're injected without our approval by Twitch, and we can't opt-out of ads *at all*.⚠️

Community building. Compassionate to the downtrodden. Supportive of sex workers. Giving of himself to his own detriment. Comfortably empathetic to other men. Clearly Jesus was queer (PoC, too). Unsurprisingly, European-originated churches have spent the last 2000 years trying to pretend otherwise.
