This is a great article explaining, in terms everyone can understand, how the AT Protocol (what Bluesky uses) works. Definitely worth a read

People who criticize transgender people say there are only two genders. But the soul has so much more individuality🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 No matter how much my activities are restricted, super Chiitan will continue to speak out until we live in a world where everyone can freely express their love and love each other♡

just outright smacking the sign

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

The reason it was so important to talk about how invading cities with the US military over nothing was a sign of weakness, not strength, was because they have basically no more steps on the escalation ladder. Everything they are calling for and threatening to do they've already basically done

If you find yourself needing a bit of grounding over recent news, this thread is a good one to check out

Hell yeah! I love to see it

I do remove this every time but it occurs to me not everyone knows about this stuff. Let's all try to make it harder for our data to be collected

Transgender studies professor Dr. Susan Stryker tears Gavin Newsom a new one while accepting the Transgender Legacy Award from the California state legislature 🔥🔥🔥 @susanstryker.bsky.social

The grand jury, in a rye rebuke, found the charge didn't cut the mustard. Prosecutors won't relish the decision, since they were smoked, with no cure in sight.

It's almost like throwing a sandwich isn't a felony assault

If I’m asked to explain anything that happens in the world, this is my go-to answer

One of the interesting things in psychology is that once a person does a bad thing it becomes easier, and easier to do the bad thing. It's the initial doing of the bad thing that is the hardest part, breaking a social norm, crossing that rubicon. And the primary reason for that is normalization

I've been trying to find a good place to donate and I recommend this one below if anyone else is in the same boat. It's awful to feel like you can't help but at least this is something.

No cheating. Post the last pic of your pet.

If "AI" was as valuable as they say it is, they wouldn't be selling it to you. They'd be using it themselves in secret to make the next Minecraft, the next Avatar, the next Hello Kitty and then they'd sell that to you. They're trying to sell you a sick goose, while pretending it lays golden eggs.

Jason Stanley, philosopher and expert on fascism said “You know you're living in a fascist society when you're constantly going over in your head the reasons why YOU are safe.”

everyone should do this, the guy running it currently is a full on fraud, ppl you like and haven't seen in a bit are probably missing from your feed because he put them on his lists to settle a personal score

I know this won't reach many people, but please support the efforts to get this done! If they're gonna kill kids by cutting funding at least make them look those kids in the eyes as they do it

The petition is moving full steam ahead and only 200k signatures are left to make the cut. It takes seconds to sign, it changes history forever. #StopKillingGames

People and the media have accepted it as a normal political discussion that good people can disagree on but it’s straight up sociopath shit to take away someone’s healthcare and I don’t really have time for anyone who feels differently

the time of man is over

This is my problem with naps as well. It's never short and I wake up worse off than I was before the nap. Usually much later than I intended

ngl I'm angry I'm living through this part of history. I was promised flying cars.

I'm excited to see this. Hopefully we can have people who know what it's actually like to try and live in this country as it is now representing us. Not just people who still have America from the 90's in their head

I feel like I'm losing my mind. Here is the transcript of what Zohran Mamdani actually said about the phrase "globalize the intifada." This is his "refusal to disavow it." This is what has people terrified. Just fucking read it. Source: podscripts.co/podcasts/the...

If you’ve never seen one before, this is a strawberry finch.

We're going to see quite a split screen today: Millions protesting peacefully in defense of democracy, and a would-be dictator ordering tanks to tear up DC streets to make him feel powerful. It's obvious what the right side is. Be on it.

"you're unhappy because you spend too much time on your phone" speak for yourself i'm posting this shit from desktop like a true lunatic

My cousin’s 13-year-old son had a baseball game down the street so I walked over to hang for a little, and within 90 seconds of my arrival a kid tried to steal second, and as soon as the catcher popped up to make the throw I involuntarily yelped “get his ass”

I probably need a similar perspective shift. Doom scrolling isn't what our brains need.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

“The issue here goes beyond Los Angeles or California: If the president of the United States can, without notice to the governor and without the constitutionally required request of the governor, send the military into our city, he can do so in any city in America at any time and for any reason”

Whoever said this is just Kendrick v Drake but with two Drakes was correct. And, once again, I plan to pay very little attention to either until someone drops the unavoidable hit of the summer. Then, and only then, will I watch a summation video essay about it by someone Black.

Since the term AI has been poisoned by generative world-burning stuff, we're going to have to go back to calling video game AI routines "the computer." I couldn't beat the final boss because the computer was being cheap, etc.

this is the most devastating burn I’ve ever seen in all my life and only Chuck Schumer deserves it
