Reminder that "criminal" is a meaningless category. Some of the best people I've ever known have been "criminals" and "felons." Donald Trump is a shitheel because he's a lying white supremacist queerphobic ableist neo-confederate scumbag, not because he's a criminal.

Easy flow chart Are we debating ecclesiastical history or christian theology? The bible can be a source. Are we debating literally anything else? Nope!

It's why we're called Cassandras, I know, but there's something violent about being treated as mentally fragile for observing objective reality, because that makes people who are in denial feel safer and more in control. Been here since 2020, but WHEW it's irritating everytime.

THIS feels incredibly toxic after the behaviour of Bsky leadership this last week. How often do I see toxicity? I see Palestinians get deleted for asking for help. I see sex workers harassed. I see Jewish people brigaded. I see trans people put on irl watchlists. I see white supremacists lauded.

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

Permabanning an autistic user for presumed subtext he categorically denies is ableist as hell.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

What a delight to learn that most people aren't in fact raging LGBTQ-phobic shitweasels

The all-knowing bsky mods gave Erin Biba a 24 hour suspension for a months-old skeet about Christian Zionism, and I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that this happened when she’s been vocally criticizing Jay

YOU CAN'T WISH HARM ON A MAN WHO IS DEAD 💀 YOU CAN'T THREATEN VIOLENCE ON A MAN WHO IS DEAD 💀 YOU CAN'T INCITE SELF HARM ON A MAN WHO IS DEAD 💀 YOU CANNOT DISRESPECT A MAN WHO IS 💀 DEAD 💀 IT IS NOT NOW AND HAS NEVER BEEN ILLEGAL TO POST A REACT MEME OF A MAN 💀 WHO IS 💀 DEAD

The U.S. Supreme Court will eliminate the federal constitutional right to same-sex marriage by 2027. Please do your best to plan and prepare accordingly.

Not gonna call anyone out, but do any other classical folks get irrationally annoyed when a poster for a concert is such that there are three identically laid out photos of, like, the soloist, the conductor, and Tchaikovsky?

87% of horror movie deaths are from the lack of adequate lighting... you live in a 3000 sq ft 100 yr old home with modern kitchen fixtures with subway tiled backsplashes - YOU CAN AFFORD A FUCKIN LAMP OR TWO! 😡 (youve got small children afraid of the dark for christ's sake!)

The end of due process for immigrants is the end of due process for citizens. Few understand this.

If you want to understand open adoption, it makes sense to start with birth parents—yet studies of them are few. 2+ yrs ago, I began talking w/ birth mothers to try to understand what living in an open adoption is like for them, and what rights or options they might have if challenges were to arise.

Oh look it’s the time of the year when people whose demographics don’t result in reports to the police state brag openly about how they’re waiting as long as possible to turn on the heat in their house.

That feeling when people you’re talking to have only heard the @yourewrongabout.bsky.social about lesbian seagulls and are trying to tell you it doesn’t count as a murder podcast. Whatever; they’ve done so many murder episodes.

It’s 2037 and my microwave is prompting me to download the Hot Pocket Plus Pass for $9.99 a month

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

In your settings under accessibility (you'll need to do this on every version of Bsky you log in on), there is a way to prevent yourself from posting w/o it.

Please use alt text when posting illustrations or photos or other images. I realize it feels like an inconvenience if you didn't ever do it at the other place, but folks who need it are a zillion times more inconvenienced every single day.

Muting big name posters who can’t be bothered with alt text, starting now

Like c'mon lol not everyone needs to be Proust over here but when you post a photo of a plate of madeleines would it fuckin kill u to at least write "butter cooky" in the alt text so people relying on screen readers know what the fuck you're talking about lol

BARE FUCKING MINIMUM COPY AND PASTE SCREENSHOT TEXT WITH AN ATTRIBUTION TO A SOURCE IF YOU'RE NOT POSTING IT WITH A LINK lmao I swear it's like people write hoping no one will actually read their shit lol

On Friday 18 blue state attorneys general BLASTED the Federal Trade Commission, telling it to back off trans youth healthcare and warning of an insidious attempt to reshape the regulation of medicine in the US. And nobody covered it. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

When autism grievance parents complain that autistic people and their families don’t have enough supports? They’re right. But their solutions are wrong, because as outsiders to the autistic community they are trying to fix problems they don’t understand. Yep, still don't regret canceling the NYT.

yeh

whoa (civilized, proper) woah (feral, unhinged)

Hey if any cis editors feel guilty you haven't assigned anything on trans history this month, lemme know! I've got a few great pitches ...

THEY CLOSED PUBLIC POOLS RATHER THAN SWIM WITH BLACK PEOPLE YOU ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE AS THE FOLKS WHO DID THIS PLEASE WAKE THE FUCK UP

hey @honeydewmeloncholy.bsky.social

You can't fight authoritarianism with more authoritarianism. You can't fight authoritarianism with more authoritarianism. You can't fight authoritarianism with more authoritarianism. You can't fight authoritarianism with more authoritarianism. Unity against censorship and surveillance NOW.

Today in WTF are you serious: A person at a state DISABILITY AGENCY, is willing to e-mail my client to say they need to call them on phone later today, but is not willing to accommodate them by answering a simple straightforward question over e-mail since they don't do voice calls.

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

why won't you engage on my terms about this absurd thing you never said and outlandish beliefs i invented for you??? answer me fucko

How does a large financial company have such a shitty website that links back and forth between two completely different builds and deadends on an old domain with dead links? I know what you did wrong with my extremely basic skills, and I am not remotely qualified to be hired to make websites.

Why did I just have to create a secure e-mail portal account and confirm a shitload of personal information in order to have a straightforward question answered that was in no way specific to me and really should be on the website FAQ?

If you have a public platform right now, especially if it's your primary job/role, and you're spreading "we're doomed because of latest terrible thing" without any info to how to fight back (and context on how people have fought such odds before) that's dereliction of duty in wartime. Stop.

If your game screenshots on socials don't include alt text, I don't hold any hope that your game will have accessibility built in.

These scripts are GREAT and these calls are EASY and ESSENTIAL. Call your senators and reps today and tell them to vote against ANY bill that contains cuts to trans health care. #DidThisToday

hey, cis people. we need you to call every single elected official you've got, now.

Massachusetts trans people. There's a clinic in western mass that does not take any government funds at all.

Of course Jews are harmed by the genocide, morally and spiritually, but as extensive as that harm is, it is minuscule compared to the fact that *whole Palestinian families are being wiped out* and the entire surviving Gazan population is being subjected to collective torture in a concentration camp

re: last week's episode of South Park They were SO CLOSE and then completely blew it at the end when Kyle's mom was more concerned about how the genocide was bad for American Jews than ...for Palestinians They said almost nothing of the Palestinian plight This exemplifies liberal Jewish supremacy

AAAAAAHHHHH IT'S BEEN CONFIRMED 🌈 😍
