BREAKING Zohran Mamdani has been sworn-in as the 112th Mayor of New York City.

I promise it’s not entirely fox girls—

THIS. Did you know sickle cell is curable, now? FULLY curable. If you're feeling down or despairing about what FEELS like technology/advancement/science "standing still" or being fully malicious, I have great news: You're not paying attention to actual science. Just tech industry marketing.

A certain segment of the hard right is clearly using anti-Israel sentiment, shading into overt antisemitism, to distinguish themselves from Trump, to represent the next generation of the MAGA movement, and to attract a crossover left-wing audience. It is incumbent on leftists not to fall for this.

After scavenging carcasses, fending off predators, digging tunnels, climbing trees, enduring harsh weather, breaking into people's cabins, and swimming through ice-cold rivers, it can be nice to take a nap.

I seriously need help. I cannot survive right now. My job won’t start until the end of January, and I’m literally out of cash. Please, this is like my last cry for help.

moots pls help i am looking for a resource i saw on here but can't find. it was a thread of BSKY posting guides and also had a resource that listed a bunch of tags? does anyone have the thread im looking for? or anything like this?

This is just going to always be my go-to response to this kind of thing anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

Drop Fortnite and hold your fav streamers accountable for still playing and posting about it. I'm so serious I'm blocking anyone I see still stream and talk positively about it.

Please read this, I cried tears of joy! Alzheimers RECOVERY may be possible, holy fucking shit. I thought even having this kind of knowledge would not be attainable in my lifetime, let alone a possible path to reversing Alzheimers. God, this is just so good. So so good!

When I started taking bsky seriously, I had about 5K followers here compared to my then 30K on twt, and despite still having "less" here by comparison, I get consistently more commissions, interest, and continued support here than on twt, with far less punishment for marketing myself. (+)

For those who have just left twitter/X and are afraid for their financial security as they try to rebuild, I want to share my experience as it will hopefully provide a bit of comfort. Earlier this year I ran a Kickstarter. Bsky outperformed Twitter for backers by more than 3x.

Good reminder to do this again because I just found hundreds of folks I followed on twitter that have gotten bsky accounts in the time since I last did this. Also folks please, please update your bio to say who you are and what you do here.

If you can see this post please boost. If you have the means, please donate to the crowdfund. Eviction is pending and the silence is worrying. She needs all the support she can get to clear this goal before she has to uproot her life entirely. PP: shockofthequeen16 #mutualaid #rentaid #helpsky 💸💕

Show you range as an artist I'd say my art has a broad range but sometimes I focus a lot on a certain one.

MIT’s NANDA initiative found that 95% of generative AI deployments fail after interviewing 150 execs, surveying 350 workers, and analyzing 300 projects. The real “productivity gains” seem to come from layoffs and squeezing more work from fewer people not AI.

Hi new accounts don't forget the boobs and butts setting

I beg anyone new here to have patience and build habit. That is the ONLY way to build your experience in this site, as the algo is new and people are still fumbling around. If you want this sky to work for you, you need to work with it first.

The worst part about this is that technically, according to the terms of the X/Twitter TOS, you have no legal way to combat this. By posting your art to X/Twitter, you agree to this feature being used on your art, as it is part of the site's Services. Stop posting your art to the slopsite.

Tip: Request 3 pictures from 3 different angles and all of them have to have a visible paper with specific text on it. If any of the damage changes even a LITTLE refuse the refund.

Well, here's the thing: SAG-AFTRA has successfully proven for DECADES that actors, on-screen and voiceover, DO meet the legal definition for employee. Anytime you work a union project, you're paid as an employee, you receive healthcare contributions, and late fees can be charged.

I don’t wanna shame anyone into leaving Twitter - mostly when I see people staying there i feel like I’m looking at someone stuck inside a burning building and I can’t get to them so I’m like waving my hands frantically like “dude get out the flames are comin”

welcome new bluesky users, remember: Your home page only shows what and who you choose to follow

I use my inactive acc for lurking but I just deleted all my works there, fuck this shit

If you're an artist coming over from Twitter because of this bullshit they added, first of all: Really genuinely sorry they fucked you like this & I think it's extremely reasonable to be crashing out HARD right now Second: I'm gonna offer Bluesky tips and encourage ppl to share starter packs here

🦋 Welcome to Buesky! 🦋 It's long past time to leave the Nazi bar, and you'll have a much better time here. I updated this guide due to the influx of users fleeing Grok's new AI bullshit. Share widely for all the newcomers!

bsky.app/profile/maho... An example showed here, for those curious.

"This doesn't affect you because you animate, so you are fine." No. This sucks and this is really dangerous. In solidarity with all artists, Please be cautious. I know many will remain on Twitter because they have mostly everything here but be aware this time it's worse than the other times.

Heads up to artists still using Twitter- Twitter is now adding an "Edit image" button under all images posted on the site that allows everyone to feed it into genAI and modify it as they wish with a prompt

Absolutely abhorrent update just rolled out on twitter where you can freely edit any image using AI with the hit of a button that appears in the corner of every image thumbnail now 😂 In case there's an influx of people returning to your feeds for a bit.

I cannot live without my Momo. If it's his time, I understand, but if he's got a good chance like he has, I cannot give up. 🥺

I want people to think more critically over AI and understand WHICH AI is the kind ruining our environment (it's genAI). AI in general has been around for decades and fear mongering over anything labeled "AI" is doing more harm than good. The AI that detects cancer isn't genAI.

there is now a button at the bottom right of every image that just lets anyone make an ai image out of anything within seconds

Headshot for fun of Pixie for @denaillialamilaich.bsky.social ~!

Still taking these into Jan! My appointment is in late Jan and I only have a little under half put away 🙃

!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social: is.gd/paU8Ko (It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

Things are Terrible, but this isn't. Be weird.

literally fuck anyone who doesn’t see at this point that it’s an organized nationwide effort to make trans people unemployable. every trans person they push out of public life is a win for them & a whole hell of a lot of cis people need to start stepping up and saying fuck off to freaks like this.

politeness politics has always been a cudgel to beat down victims for not being polite enough while people with power do active harm

We’re not here for wizards who punch down. Instead of purchasing the HP Collab, I would suggest donating to the Trevor Project to support trans & LGBTQ+ youth, because protecting our queer siblings matters more than protecting JKR.
