Bluesky Blackout: Sunday Sept 21st to Saturday Sept 27th. Stand with NSFW creators and against censorship. Show them how many came here to escape arbitrary censorship. Reblog to share & announce your blackout. #blueskyblackout2025

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/🧵

Haha, they spent the last few years trying their damnedest to appease MAGA by engineering movies MAGA wouldn't go and see in the first place, and now they've lost tons of money further capitulating to them. Love to see it, good job Iger!

This shit makes me so mad because people don't understand how much power we have over these companies and the only thing we need to do is not give them money. The only thing we need to do is to not do anything. It's the easiest shit! *wearily* collective action does work, it really does

...god says trans rights?

regular reminder that the people who created your favorite characters were largely marginalized individuals with antifascist views

Our enemies are cowards, and we are going to defeat them.

ah they all just think being personally unpopular is the same as being oppressed lmao

Media execs have fallen prey to a propaganda and harassment campaign that has completely divorced them from what people actually want right now. Both their insular information environments (group chats, podcasts) and ambient noise (Twitter reactionaries) have put them in a very stupid bubble.

please PLEASE share this so more people can share feedback with bluesky about how batshit these changes are

I wish people would understand this is not a Bluesky exclusive thing. Jumping ship to another site will not do anything and you will be in the same position again and again. Make your voice heard, don't just keep trying to run away from the problem.

libraries also tend to have dvds and blurays, js

It has been mentioned by friends, so I'm going to mention it here too. As much as Bluesky moderation sucks, this site, as a whole, is still vastly better than Xhitter. The Nuclear Block Button, alone, makes sticking it out here worth it. Which is why I'm so vocal about Moderation being so awful.

Like as annoying as this is, bluesky is STILL the free-est of these social media sites lmao Where the fuck else are you gonna go, dude?

You cannot create a bread and circus society and then yank the bread AND the circus Yall gon learn

The one thing that I believe will ultimately bring this regime down won’t be the Epstein files, enough Dems suddenly growing a spine, or even death. It will be taking away the treats. You don’t FUCK with the treats

The people who are trying to silence and punish anyone who doesn't glaze Charlie Kirk or even just directly quote him VERBATIM agree with every last word of rhetoric he spewed during his life. It's just that none of it can be reasonably sanitized or presented as anything other than hate speech.

It is SO fucking obvious to me that Saberspark's main perspective on this touchstone of counter cultural meta-commentary is "Damn, if this is famous sex movie, why it not my peepee happy? 🥺🥺🥺" Saberspark is the epitome of everything embarrassing about YouTube critics, truly what I strive to not be.

Jimmy Kimmel is being muzzled because one media company wants to be able to own 80% of all local broadcast stations.

Disney was already harmed by Trump damaging tourism to America in various ways. Flights from Canada to Florida, for example, are way down. And Disney is vulnerable to an array of backlashes, from franchise-carrying creatives to Disney+ subscribers. Might as well do the right thing, no?

It's kind of wild the Kirk stuff is now merely a footnote of the larger Jimmy Kimmel story lol

genuinely believe that a large number of political, economic and media elites do not realize that nearly half the voting public did not vote for trump

Go fash, lose cash

As much as I fear for the people being hurt and who will be hurt in the future, I'm more hopeful this week than I have been in months. They overplayed their hand. This is punching through to the pacified normies just as the economy is going tits up.

The way I live through the bad times with joy is knowing that the evil putting us through it will inevitably get bitten in the ass 😇

This website was created by its founders but it was "made" by trans people, by queer people, by marginalized people who told their friends that it was a safe harbor from the collapse of the website sold to a man who would sieg heil on camera. Someone told people to come here & it wasn't Bluesky.

Democracy dies in Darkness:

I hope the backlash against all this drives the point home and Disney tries to get Kimmel back. I'm not expecting a corporation to do the right thing on their own, but I also would like to not feel guilty for enjoying things, and I kind of do right now.

I know some major pushback was gonna start eventually... I just wasn't expecting that Jimmy fucking Kimmel would be the one to unintentionally kickstart this.

Happy #BatmanDay

A massive THANK YOU & artboard from the Knights Of Guinevere team, We've poured our hearts into every frame, and your support means the world ❤️

There is only 10 days left until The Harvest campaign closes and we have three more stretch goals to reach! Can we make it to 35? 40? Or perhaps even $45k before it’s all over? You can contribute through the link or share with your friends! t.co/a74zU1FAOU

Learned a new phrase today that helped me understand both why #MAGA weirdos are so #angry and why it seems like there are more ring-wing zealots than ever (even though there aren't), while also giving me more conviction in the progressive direction.

Ruby Rose vs Maka Albarn Happy 200 y'all #DEATHBATTLE #RWBY #SoulEater

Vaccines save lives. And no, they do not cause autism.

Well, that's $70 more I'll have to spare after next month's rent. You all suck if you're actually pulling this shit.

Joining Mastodon is easy! You just find an instance (not that one, not that one, not that one) and then you set up your farble to interact with the jibcrank but be sure to hide your content automatically behind a yuwving or you'll be in violation of the instances TOS and can be banned.

Testing a theory: reskeet if "every ICE agent will be unmasked and tried for their crimes" would get your vote

This is entirely true on so many levels I don't think I could possibly detail it exhaustively, but you really can't oppose trans people's human rights and still have freedom of expression and bodily autonomy, the idea that people are entitled to self determination goes right out the window....

I realize the irony of posting a Disney meme for this but...

Furries literally helped make Bluesky. It’s no exaggeration to say the Bluesky is only as successful as it is because furries migrated to it en masse. Telegram is the same way. Without furries posting their porn here, Bluesky will go the way of Tumblr. This is a plain fact.

Yeah, history keeps repeating and repeating, like a fucking merry go round of idiocity.

I feel like I'm going insane. Like we know of Kirk because we are frequent users of the internet. To like the average person he's a fucking nobody. I'm losing my fucking mind

there's always a John Waters quote, it seems

Too silly

Getting Hospitalized wasn't gonna stop me. Ruby vs Maka, my third and final pic for the fight. This art would not exist without @sunmellows.bsky.social who did the coloring on everything except the main fighters. Hope to see ya'll tomorrow. #rwby #deathbattle #souleater #crossover #vs #db #fanart

this heartbreaking piece is very well reported. please read it.

Marketable buddies #knightsofguinevere #theamazingdigitalcircus
