All of the “centrists” who think we should cave on some trans rights need to understand that this is part of a plan to erode all LGBTQ+ rights. They are not going to stop with trans folks. The more you equivocate and surrender, the more the Overton window moves right.

This is truly the time for improvisers to shine.

Posting for a friend: any experienced fullstack devs out there interested in a midsize contract project? Filebase, atproto, tailwindcss. Fondness for vintage cars a plus but not required.

Any sex workers or NSFW artists that offer site/app logo commissions? Looking for something for @babesky.com and just thinking it would be cool to keep it in the community~ #signalBoost

People who use mutation testing hate the X-men

I think there should be a PDS API for updating service endpoints. Service endpoints are potentially really useful. But having to get an email code and compose a PLC op to change it is unnecessarily difficult for both developers and users.

Ring in Pride Weekend with Germ! Join us on Thursday, June 25 from 5-8pm at iconic SF queer bar El Rio. Don't miss our biggest event yet, with partners @bsky.app, Heavybit, and Generationship. RSVP below! 🏳️‍🌈💚🏳️‍⚧️ atmo.rsvp/p/germnetwor...

This pride month, if you’re not plugged in, please take a moment to think about what you specifically can do to support trans kids under attack. I get asked all the time about steps people can take, so I hope at least one person takes this to heart. I’ll be adding throughout June. A thread.🧵

@omg.jacky.wtf I got questions about your latest display name.

NEWS: In September, the Washington Post fired me in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk killing. This week, after eight months, I'll be heading to arbitration against the Post to challenge my termination. karenattiah.substack.com/p/my-case-ag...

I co-signed this because this is the way

Happy Pride Month from the Northsky Team! It's a pleasure to serve our 2SLGBTQIA+ community and work to build a sustainable platform for us and by us. Our joy, our struggles, our kindness, our art and culture, our talents and our humanity bring so much vibrance to the world. Keep living out loud!

Welp that's disappointing, only supports apple and Google sign in so not touching it.

Going to be sending Victorian messages to everyone

Finally my Rolodex dream will come true.

It's like they skipped the first two books of bobverse and decided to make it real.

So this ended up being way easier than expected.

Accounts that post adult content are welcome on Northsky. All we ask is that you tag your NSFW content appropriately. We have a "doesn't consistently tag nsfw" label on our @moderation.northsky.social labeler, which would only get applied in the event you didn't self-manage that.

📢 We had a few hiccups with our migrator earlier today, they should be resolved now! 📢 If you were trying and it was throwing errors, you should be safe to try again via the "Resume failed migration" flow. Thanks for your patience! 💚💜

👋 Hello! My name is Noah and I'm a CSE at @railway.com! Here to answer any and all questions folks might have. Send em my way! Will try to check here as often as I can!

Fortunately the bugs are self producing

Time for the brits to suffer through this. Their digital customs system has _never_ worked for me. Just fails to scan the passport

Hi all I’d really appreciate another push. We’re gonna be a bit late but we’ve almost got enough to make rent for June! We really appreciate it! #mutualaid gofund.me/8a0bf0ab4

2 days ago I had the opportunity to participate in the European Commission‘s workshop on the future of social networks in Europe, together with researchers, entrepreneurs, policymakers, investors and civil society representatives.

Going to self host this so hard.

i dont really care about robocoding but every time someone uses ai generated imagery in their projects they get -10 reputation in my head shit is so ugly and there is so much art out there from humans you could use, or spend like an hour drawing it yourself

It's time for another newsletter! In this one: - we reveal @moderation.northsky.social is ready for use! - we're teaming up with @moderation.blacksky.app to hone our craft and adopt their Acorn moderation platform. - we address harassment of Northsky users - we discuss recent bluesky bans

Hello journalism friends. Do you want your news organization's links on Bluesky to look fancy like this? Get in touch, I can help. blog.euphonos.studio/3lyfwrx7zn222

Yes - I’m currently engaged in trying to get a lot more attention (and funding) devoted to this rapidly growing problem. All ideas to that end actively solicited.

I keep seeing people say that Northsky is full of "meangirls.online" & "darkwo.ke" accounts. I can definitively state that only 1.24% of accounts at Northsky have "meangirls.online" & "darkwo.ke" handles. The other 98.76% of Northsky accounts do not. (BTW, two of those seven accounts are suspended)

Dear diary, today we see if I can create a feed that doesn't need an appview.

I'm available for consulting from June. Dev work, DevRel, Dev Education, Content Creation, and helping teams make sensible decisions about automation without betraying their users. 17 years exp, Vienna-based, remote across Europe and beyond. Boosts massively appreciated 💜

Reading about Meta layoffs, some ICs who weren't hit have been reassigned to full-time training AI which means writing code, essays, posts, etc. that nobody will ever see to feed AI training data.

Oh, and for labels if you have a label on your account, you can click the label & the appeal information should be available for whatever labeler applied it. Just a pro tip. That should be visible on any app. Bluesky and Blacksky.

Shoot us an email if you’ve been sexually disappointed by Clavicular

Something delightfully satisfying about checking light with the meter before setting the TLR then popping open the viewer to frame the shot.

Been on a bit of a hiatus due to irl stress. Things are under control now and burnout is (hopefully) being managed so there will be some updates soon regarding projects and things.

Just started playing my ps2 that I got at a flea market yesterday after a day in the sun and reporting chili plants. I might not be the target as I've been very offline lately

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

New camera week. Been hunting for a nice rangefinder and grabbed this beauty, needs a little maintenance. Spotted this kooky 35mm TLR at a flea market three weeks ago, went back today and it was still there. It's in good condition so I'm shooting a test roll.

Transmedicalism garbage in action

so many talented trans people out of work 😔 please, hire us, and if you want us to survive until someone hires us, give us money directly. (don't give to trans advocacy non-profits, give direct aid instead)

hey everyone wanna see what a manufactured hate campaign is shaped like???

My friend Loma has been mentoring Alaa who lives in Gaza, I've had my own calls with him providing career advice and he's incredibly persistent as we'd get disrupted by power cuts and similar after losing his home. Loma is now raising money to help him pursue his masters in Europe. #MutualAid

repost this, please and thank you

Hey everykibby! After last month's really cool roundtable with the Mastodon, Blacksky and Northsky people, we've been working hard to get everything ready, talking to RSP's and lots and lots (and lots and lots) of paperwork. Expect more updates soon!!

You can totally see how you get from Flipper One to TOS-era Tricorder aesthetic to TNG flip phone tricorders blog.flipper.net/flipper-one-...

From Bluesky’s work on permissions data, to adding e2ee to activitypub, there are a lot of projects working on private data, converging towards something that’s roughly Matrix-shaped. But the dynamics underneath turned out to be stranger than I thought connectedplaces.online/reports/fr16...

Petition for clubs to have a secret room with cozy couches that only people who want to chill and read a book can find.
