I have achieved this!

You know...I do at least appreciate that the disabled community can come together to do a "How fucking dare-Y'know what, you like proving folks are hypocrites so much let's just open the file drawer on your own hypocrasy." for Jon Stewart's latest...Reality check? Showing of behind?

So many of us haven't been sick for years now and it's pretty great, actually. Maybe more of us need to enthuse about the awesomeness of 5 or 6 or whatever years without colds or the flu or anything else like that thanks to masks.

I didn't know how effective masks were until all this and now that I do, I'm looking back all my illnesses going "you mean those were AVOIDABLE?!" My immune system is doing its best, but even so. Who wants an avoidable flu?!

The internet taught you every single old person is a bigot, but there are some rebels among the old people you laugh at, and you want their wisdom and friendship. Elders taught me so much of what I know, from welding to wool spinning. Offer to mow a lawn and see what they will teach you.

To claim that mass mobilizations "don't work" or "are useless" doesn't negate the fact that THEY HAPPENED and most people commenting on them DID NOT TAKE PART. LOL.

This year produced the single largest mass mobilizations in the country's history. Its entire history. I think that there are people who would say that this isn't true EVEN AS THEY ARE LIVING THROUGH THOSE MOBILIZATIONS. It's something to see.

...Well. At least it would be an even BIGGER indicator of the owner being a twat who doesn't care about others. Why? Well, I'm going to take a wild guess that a too heavy vehicle would actually destroy some of the old streets, and would be dangerous on narrow *alpine* roads.

We didn't survive and thrive as a species because we had warriors or hunters - pretty much every omnivore can manage that. We did so because we developed Grandmothers, and domesticated Dogs. Community is what defines us as a species, and every "self-reliant" libertarian shitweasel be damned.

The entirety of the US penal system is inhumane and deeply racist. The more I learn about it, the deeper my belief in total abolition grows.

more kids have long covid than asthma now, @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social. because adults decided they were tired of dealing with reality.

here’s another example, @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social. idk, seems pretty smart to me to avoid repeatedly getting a virus that damages multiple systems of the body.

scroll up and down, @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social

@weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social 49% of covid cases are asymptomatic. every infection causes cumulative damage. vaccines alone can’t keep us from transmitting covid and getting long covid. see next skeet for my ongoing thread of bad stuff covid is doing to us. #MaskUp.

There are 20 million people in the US with long covid, and tens of millions more with a high risk/immunocompromised condition. Why, in 2025, are you mocking disabled and sick people??

Hey Jon Stewart @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social? It's called Pikuach Nefesh, you might have heard about it in shul? Y'know, doing a small action that can save a life. One of the top mitzvahs you can do. Sure, there's plenty of Jews not doing this form, but you *could* be advocating for more to do it

Good! An early insight of human centered design is that it was possible to reduce airplane crashes by introducing tactile switches and toggle that did not create confusion or require people to take their eyes away from their core tasks donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-origin...

The cops shot and killed an activist during STOP COP CITY and then the state criminalized the protesters for indicting over 60 people on RICO charges... THAT IS STILL HAPPENING NOW. Those charges have not been dismissed. The first trials are underway.

White folks in the comments and quotes see it stated as clearly as this and still aren't getting it. Racism was the purposeful, deliberate invention of a classification of man that designated SUBspecies - rendering nonwhite people outside of class entirely. This was necessary for colonialism.

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

I'll post here as well, for the new Bluesky folks (or those that did not know of the feature), Logged-out visibility "Discourage apps from showing my account to logged-out users. Bluesky will not show your profile and posts to logged-out users." This does not make your account private.

So, it's simple, it's plain, but when one of the guys bullying me in High School called me stupid for getting a pre-calc question wrong, I immediately turned around and did a, "Well maybe you're the stupid one." I'm proud of it because the jerk actually left me alone for the rest of High School.

writing a horror movie about a jewish exorcist whose catchphrase is “dybbuk stops here”

i never said i want to abolish fireworks but i do want my neighbors to stop setting them off. holidays didn’t sound like a warzone 20yrs ago. not all of us like explosions. go to official displays and be with those in your community who want to enjoy them; don’t force them upon those of us who don’t

idk who needs to hear this but you do not need to set off fireworks on christmas day. it's already bad enough that you make the neighborhood unlivable during new years and 4th of july. you don't need another day of triggering my dog.

It is the time of the year when I remind everyone that a new years resolution is harmful because it is a binary fail state. You usually break them because you don't have steps to work towards it. A 'New year's direction' is far healthier as every step towards it is to be celebrated.

Who do I know that does logo design?

I know it's technically a method of linking something in Obisdian, but I won't lie, putting [go research this thing] in brackets thus making the text automatically become a different color is VERY handy. Lot easier to find those sections.

There's also differences between being direct, blunt, or being an asshole. You can "tell it like it is" without being a jerk about it. Those using being blunt or "autistic" (ugh) as an excuse for being an asshole are still very much being an asshole and should be called out on it.

One of the right wing's top cultural initiatives was trying to destroy the idea that assholery deserves shame and we'll have to reverse that. "I'm just expressing an opinion I'm entitled to." Ok but you're an asshole. "I'm simply doing a business practice that technically isn't illegal." Ok. Asshole

We are now entering the weird liminal space between Christmas and New Year's Eve. Anything could happen during this time. You could feel weirdly nostalgic, you could see a photo of a cat, you could remember to feed your Neopets. The possibilities are endless.

Watched the riff of Point Break, and I gotta say, that is one action film that was DEFINITELY meant to be gayer than what the final product was allowed to be. Weird to think less than 30 years after Point Break, people can openly talk about the gay hockey player show, a thing that openly exists.

You can tell that LotR was written by an academic because Gandalf disappears for like 20 years doing research to answer a single question.

The Lord of The Rings movies were rated PG-13. By current rules that means that each film could contain one use of the word "Fuck". Which line are you altering to insert the most useful swear word? "I am no man, you fuck!"

Of particular importance to this website

Unmitigated illness is a tool used by fascists to eliminate the groups of people they hate & have deprived of resources, while making money off those who can afford to play the pay-to-win game of for-profit healthcare. Wearing an n95 is an act of hope, solidarity, & resistance. Give/get mutual aid:

-If you see clear rage bait? Block that poster. You see a post that will have you getting into an internet argument? Block the poster. -A trick to reduce the urge to get into internet fights is limiting yourself to one a day. That means you have to choose your fights *carefully*. Eventually...

My advice for having a nice bluesky experience: - follow *and boost* anybody who posts weird/interesting stuff. If your paths diverge you can mute them - interact with people in good faith and you'll often be met with the same (and gain followers) - post the kinds of things you want to see more of!

I love my partner and our cat and our home; I love my friends; I love the life I‘ve found for myself beyond any boundary I thought I could ever travel growing up. and still, some days you’re beset by ghosts of another life in which distance and loss did not so thoroughly dominate the landscape.

anyways, love to all my fellow sick/disabled trans freaks (etc.) who are deeply estranged from their families of origin today and everyday. even an old wound aches when you press on it.

By the way, if you're someone who thinks it's "sad" that someone is not celebrating Christmas with festivity, cheer, and hullabaloo, have you thought about why? Why do you think it's sad? How would you know? Are societal and media biases effecting why you think that?

🔥🪥Happy holidays! Here’s a set for CSP containing 80 brushes based on pencils, liners, markers, oil pastels, watercolors and a lot of tone textures. ko-fi.com/s/ff8a471419 #brush #csp #cspbrushes #clipstudiopaint #digitalart #clipstudiopaintbrushes #supportartists

“ The daughter of a well known conservative operative , whose paper did not answer the topic at hand and had a carefully planned media campaign , had a trans instructor fired for grading a paper according to the agreed upon rubric”

just feeling more and more like it’s journalistic malpractice not to lead with the fact that the instructor in question is trans

To everyone who's Christmas looks like just hanging around the house, not really doing anything "festive", for whatever reason whether it be due to not celebrating or disability or illness or ptsd related things? You're valid, and your Christmas is not sad. It's relaxing and cozy.

I'm not super connected to Portland stuff on here so if you are and can retweet, please do @thotchev.bsky.social #portland #pdx

My house has a new familiar. If you are near 39th and Holgate in Portland and missing a delightful black kitty, this guy or gal seems to clearly come from a home and is also desperate for food and shelter

and you really don’t know what someone’s triggers could be. i knew someone who couldn’t stand thinking about snails. i knew someone else who was uncomfortable seeing images of owls for cultural reasons.
