@safety.bsky.app are you trying to retraumatize me? Sometimes I will tell my story (with appropriate trigger warnings) and you need to keep your punishments to yourself.

Rfk: autistic people will never contribute to capitalism Liberals: here are many autistic people who contribute to capitalism Rfk: exactly, we both agree that the rest of autistic people can go in the Machine This is why you don't legitimize a guy who wants to mass murder people.

This weekend has been eventful. Parent in the hospital, lack of ability to revise, trying to help kiddo catch up on work... I never thought I'd say it, but I *might* be looking forward to Monday and work.

there's always a John Waters quote, it seems

Drop some snakes

The fact that Bsky seems to be a-okay with censoring not only NSFW voices but also the voices of individuals who deal with suicidal ideation and those who share their stories of substance abuse says so much about where they are thinking to take this site. SO much. #BskyCensorship

i'm against the new TOS because no matter how uncomfortable you are with certain subjects, it's very easy to see how bad-faith interpretations of art could be weaponized, especially against marginalized artists, who are more likely to be targeted for harassment #bskycensorship

Wow, so academia.edu has become ecen scammier than it used to be and is ACTIVELY PROMOTING "AI" "reviews" of papers, so I'm gonna go pull all my stuff off of there.

Whelp, looks like I'm going to be deleting my information. Fellow academics, you might consider doing the same. #AcademiaSky #AcademicSky

Don't forget that paypros were also largely responsible for other censorship issues too. It always comes down to the money. So, do not stop the pressure on these companies just because we are mad at bsky too!

QRP with something watery 🌊

for god‘s sake dont participate in a bluesky blackout, raise hell about the censorship issue instead. make NOISE about it.

I was gonna do the blackout thing but there's an extremely valid argument for why a week of silence is a terrible fucking idea actually, so.... Reply with your NSFW art below, written or visual, and I'll repost that instead. Fuck censorship.

My new book comes out this week. I only have one preorder. 🙁 Or if you want to start my series, it's an epic fantasy reimagining of Sleeping Beauty. What if Maleficent was Aurora's mother and what if she wasn't really evil? www.amazon.com/dp/B08HLVPF7D

Heads up all of my Costco folks.

We in Gaza don’t care if countries recognize Palestine or not. Our lives are shattered daily under bombing. The world sees but silence and arms support deepen our suffering. We live under siege, hope lost amid destruction and bloodshed, yet life goes on despite all the pain.

Ticket's for today's Mets game @ Citi Field. Mom and sibling can't go due to my mom being in the hospital, and sibling isn't available (due to the same issue) so if anyone wants two tickets! #baseball #NewYorkMets seatgeek.com/new-york-met...

About censorship on Bluesky: From the moment you decide to create a multi-themed platform based on the content generated by other people, you need to understand that those people are your clients. Without them, you wouldn’t be in the position you are now.

No one should be throwing trans folks under the bus for a united democratic party. If the dems want votes, they need to shed the bigotry. The "movement" isn't a good one if it's constantly stabbing folks in the back. Then again, can't expect much from politicians who are cool w/genocide.

🔞I don't normally post these on main, but fuck it! Im highly considering it anyway so here's some old nudity (and suggestive shit) drawings before i head out. PEACE

I always feel extra slimy having to navigate my senators' & representative's webpages to get their contact information. Two of mine are GOP & one claimed to be Dem but has gone mask-off red as he spouts the grossest zionist propaganda & wants head pats for decidedly right wing, pro-violence votes.

With sales for most creatives I know being down across the board, please feel free to post your links below (many people want to support marginalized creators and small businesses but simply do not know where or how to do that).

Y'all, please call, email, and/or write your representatives, then share WIDELY what this administration is doing to scapegoat, oppress, and violently erase trans folks. We need EVERYONE in on this.

Your regular reminder that cities aren’t loud. Cars are loud.

actions that will contribute more to pushing against bluesky's censorship than a blackout: -submitting a feedback request -@ing moderation about it -commenting on mods posts about it -making and sharing memes (ex: "i consent!" sticker) -leaving an app store review -just generally posting about it

📢Dear beloved authors all. Please include the ISBNs for your titles on your websites. I regularly request that our library system buy your books & it's a real pain in the backside to have to track down the metadata info for your stuff. Thx! 📚💙 #SupportYourLibrary #IndependentBookstores

Absolutely. They WANT to silence folks, so why would giving them what they want do any good? 🤨

Just a reminder that right now is a fantastic time to take that monthly Disney plus cash and spend it on trans/bipoc/disabled creators and small businesses. Boycotting the bad things is fantastic, but using those funds to then support and uplift those who’ve been marginalized is even better.

Overheard: "It blows my mind that you need a master's degree to be a librarian. All you do is stick books, scan them out, and scan them in." Me: *stares in academic librarian, juggling tenure requirements, student appointments, teaching classes, & managing $100,000s worth of databases*

No, he's right. We could have stayed on Twitter and said, "Actually, have you considered that Donald Trump is bad?" And the other users would pause and consider our words and then post a photo taken from inside our house.

if you don’t want trans girls to have muscle mass let them transition at the same age their peers start puberty. problem solved

Do NOT believe the misinfo going around There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates Most notably: 1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon 2) No "dangerous" kink 3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational" So what can we DO about it? #SaveSpeech 1/🧵

This platforms moderation is currently unable to tell the difference between artistic/non-sexual nudity and explicit pornography How do you expect them to be able to differentiate between consensual and non-consensual?

Fuck me this is bleak. But please, do continue to use GenAI slop thumbnails for your YouTube videos, or your album art, or your book covers or whatever else. I'll continue to refuse to watch/listen/read any of them, knowing already they're not worth the time & that you're a disappointing lazy hack.

people keep saying that they thought Jeffries would be the next Obama and I’m convinced the only reason they thought that was because he was black and light-skinned and is articulate and ima need white people to admit that’s racist so we can start the process of removing Hakeem from power

Hakeem Jeffries supporting Charlie Kirk before endorsing Zohran Mamdani is really fucking nasty.

YES, YES, YES 👏🏻 I'm a parent of a 13yo and they have had the freedom to choose their books for forever. I'm not going to hamper my child. If they come across something they don't understand, we (spouse and I) talk w/them. We explain it so they can understand it. It leads to an open, honest home.
