Genuinely powerful words to live by.

for @deadbeat.bsky.social 🐱 pls imagine him doing that little finger tappy thing influencers do on product promos

So now we find out if people want to get free and stay that way...or if what they REALLY want is mid standup and celebrity interviews ( not to worry I've seen this movie before and can provide spoilers 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲)

My friend Lee from Stuck Lucky’s cat Mokey was in an accident and needs care. She has to have a leg amputated. She’s a senior kitty and deserves some peace and quality of life in her golden years. If you can please repost or donate anything for Mokey gofund.me/8b3e1ac33

At least 76 killed in Gaza City alone as 450,000 flee Israeli attacks on the coastal enclave’s main urban centre.

Help me by getting some stickers and clearing out my stock! 🌞🔥🐾 🔗: ko-fi.com/kr00bs/shop

One way that I have learned to maintain my own peace of mind is to recognize people who will simply not believe my experience or knowledge, and then stop sharing those things with them. There are plenty of people who don’t get to know what I think because they’ve broken trust with me.

🇮🇹BREAKING: Italy Sees Massive General Strike in Solidarity With Gaza Italy is seeing a powerful 24-hr general strike today, Sept. 22, as millions of workers across transport, education, logistics, and other sectors are expected to join protests for Gaza. The strike has... @ryangrim.bsky.social

One of my clients I do web & design work for is an erotic film director, he’s actually the one of my sweetest clients ever. Every text he sends I only hear his Dallas David Lynch accent — thought this was cute to share.

Treat yourself to some beautiful stickers. I snagged the dragon + cat ones myself :3c

It's another way to police pregnant bodies and it's medically inaccurate, unnecessary, and fucking cruel

okay, hear me out: what if the #blueskyblackout2025 is a BlueSky psyop to get artists to censor themselves without needing to enforce the rules? it’s cheaper than moderation—and kind of ironic that despite banning non-con, they’re manufacturing consent to say artists agree that NSFW art is unsafe 🤯

I've had to take a hiatus cus grad school is a 30hr/day, 10day/wk kind of job... but I'm trying to schedule more time to do some studies and get my mojo back 🥺🥺🥺

I feel like I'll never do this mainstream writing persona they want you to have right. This "hello I'm the author who will be your authority now. Check out my professionalism & decorum & platforming." I'm just freak not pretending to be anything else.

I may seem doomy & off putting at times but I swear I’m as warm as the sunshine just as deep as I am dark from the depths of my pain. I have seen the light past the end of despair many times & I’ll happily hold the hands of anyone who needs the strength.

THIS!!! Everybody has gotten WAY too comfy just reading whatever link is in front of them/trusting content but a simple few clicks around the internet will usually show people’s true colors if you look

You know why else you should boost Palestinian fundraisers? To show Palestinians you care about them. That won't put food in their bellies if you can't donate, but feeling heard & less alone is something people need. Feeling care helps people survive.

I was selling at a market yesterday & mentioned Etsy to another vendor for buying hypoallergenic findings — to which they told me “I don’t support Etsy since they allow xyz” which I respect & stand behind but…

Kind of wild to see everything I was saying & being called crazy for “overreacting” about social media/online censorship happening now

For those who don’t use the stack (I get it) you can read here

One of the most pernicious cissexual myths is that **trans ppl** are obsessed w gender when the average cis woman would never think of wearing a bow tie and the average cis man gets angry if he has to drink out of a coffee cup w too many dainty flowers glazed on it.

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

KOG WAS SO GOOOOOD AHH

No. The game is rigged against me. I'm broke & financial literacy doesn't fix that. Sorry. Rich people just think it does. And there's a heavy tax on the neurodivergent.

Through all of For the People's efforts, so far at least three dozen people across the country have joined their local library board. You can be #37, 38 or 50: www.librariesforthepeople.org

I need a new iPad so so bad, I make my income from my iPad, I’m disabled and a student and freelance art is my only source of income. I am willing to do any kind of traditional painting in trade for one, if this one dies I will have no way to work or make income

I can draw anything. I can make characters as abstract or grounded as I please. I can put them in peril or paradise at the flick of a wrist and the wisp of a whim. I can tear them to shreds and they'll be fine because I decide they're fine. Because it's all fake. You are trying to chain daydreams

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.

Yesterday, my family and I arrived in an area in Deir al-Balah that is not safe, but less dangerous than our place in northern Gaza. We left our tent there and I had to take sleeping bags to make a tent but they were only enough for half a tent. tinyurl.com/7kv295bc

I don’t even want to begin going down the rant hole about healthcare rn but iykyk what I mean when I say, the hospital & state menty b facilities are not the help you think they are (especially to non-white women)

Because it's a hobby that has a lot of "shit hits the fan" potential a lot of the online learning communities and materials are crawling with fash, klan, etc. so please be mindful, but groups like this exist and I'm sure they'd love to bring their mean membership age under 70.

I shared lots of HAM radio info at the start of the year, and this is about that. I'm thrilled we now have Blacksky as an option but durable comms, ones that function during emergencies both locally and if you have the range internationally will be CRUCIAL as things further collapse.

Being trans is true freedom. True expression of self. True love. Self love. Autonomy. Non-conformity. Our very existence proof of a life fully lived.

Y’all I did the “move to this app” with this app. Unless the app isn’t run/made by a team with black & trans women, I’ll be keeping in touch with friends via RSS feeds + whatever means I need to. Bet that I’ll find other ways to keep in touch with the people I care about.

Bsky, we can't lean into a future where regulating social media means blanket rules that enforce unwanted censorship. The responsibility needs to be on the creator to label, and on the consumer to filter out the unwanted based on it. Not on gradually eliminating more and more content altogether.

Important 🧵. I keep thinking back to 9/11 when I lived in Brooklyn and cell phone service was unusable for days afterward. I got a landline after that but we need methods of communication that can’t be controlled by corporations. More consolidations + interruptions in service are likely.

Stomping back in here briefly and grumpily one last time to leave you all with this: Social media succeeds and profits by convincing all of us that we must make ourselves into individual cults of personality instead of building and contributing to communities. It’s time to stop playing along.

It's definitelty not too late to figure your shit out but I am so grateful that I'm going into All This™ secure in the knowledge of who the fuck I am.
