The "service" includes settings for hiding certain types of content, warning you that the skeet contains such content before you see it, or simply turning off the filter. If you've never been here before, you'll find things like "rude" or "threats" are set to "Hide".

Next select Settings, and then Moderation on the next screen. At the bottom of the Moderation page under "Advanced" is a section called "Bluesky Moderation Service" that looks like an info box. It in fact leads to more settings.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

you ever think about the works progress administration? I sure do. I wish that was a thing now. I would be so glad to contribute my labor to like. A random ass local bridge

The Fly, as in, the human-bodied, lab-coat-wearing, flyhead-and-claw-having mutation from the original film, should be recognized as a "monster type", just like a wolfman, a dracula, a gillman, etc, etc

Watching a Tasting History video on 18th century drinking chocolate while I eat slivers of a Reeses cup like I'm on war rations, this is my design

It's not every day where a story that mentions body horror scenarios leaves you with a feeling of peace at the end.

Too cloudy here but you all have fun

Increased ICE activity in North Portland today has led Portland Public Schools to lock exterior doors at César Chávez School and George Middle School, along with other protective measures. Other North Portland schools are monitoring the situation closely.

My husband went to the coast with some friends. They planned to stop at North Coast Pinball in Nehalem, but they couldn't get inside because the king tides had flooded the street in front of the building! (For reference, Nehalem is about 2.5 miles inland, but on a tidally affected river.)

So many artists, writers, and designers I know have learned this lesson the tedious way, so let me co-sign this and say not only is it a huge waste of time and labor to listen to the "I'd buy that" crowd online, you will also lose money. Make what *you* want to make, everything else is noise

I would love my story to be taught in a classroom, but this ain’t it. 

Stumbled across what is clearly an AI-generated reading guide to my latest work, and who is this even *for*?

Hi new followers! I'm a writer, and my latest story was picked up by Gizmodo. It's about a woman whose body behaves like a carnivorous plant. gizmodo.com/a-woman-hide...

this story is an intricate, pensive, and ultimately kind look at the concept of a woman as a carnivorous plant that extends far beyond rage. the body horror and its sensuality are also great. would recommend reading

As a headsup for anyone on Vyvanse, you should go check your lot numbers. www.health.com/adhd-medicat...

Look, I've been very nice about this but you have to read it. Do I need to come to your house and make you read it? Because I will.

I’m ready for Bull Moose Party 2.0

It’s real real interesting to see what happens when you win a major American election after your own party leadership refuses to endorse you, so you don’t owe them or their pollsters and lobbyists jack shit

AOC: "This is about, do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And they assignment is to come together across difference no matter what."

Tempering the good feelings with some horror shows, so I don't curdle from the shock

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

libbing out is legal again

It’s cool that Chuck Schumer, Kiersten Gillibrand, and Hakeem Jeffries just proved to every future dem that establishment approval is irrelevant tbh

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed. The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

people are screaming on the street

Normal People Don’t Want This Shit is running away with the vote tonight

i hope this election cycle empowers everyone the next time a centrist liberal says to drop pro-trans and pro-immigrant rhetoric to enthusiastically tell them to shut the fuck up

I just saw the video of Zohran at a gay bar at 1am baby none of these consultant class AIPAC bought Democrat bitches is ever touching the hem of his suit trousers

I hope it's a mandate and NYC parties all night

"Why should I read/watch the classics?" Because every review I've seen for this @sgj.bsky.social piece misses the point www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/the-...

Oh, Dick Cheney died? Well-- *sees Bluesky mod around corner* What's really important is championing the open protocol.

Woke up today to the news

They fired every Black woman at Teen Vogue and every trans staffer. It is astonishing watching the American media ecosystem just falling like dominoes, bowing its knees to fascism.

terrifying deleted scene from skinamarink

“also his wife is hot, seems sus”

I am a logical being immune to the effects of weather *spends all day in rainy twilight* unrelated but I'm eepy

PDX peeps! What are you doing next Monday? How about attending STORYTELLING AGAINST HUNGER, a 5-hour marathon of author readings & open mic fun that's a fundraiser for the @oregonfoodbank.bsky.social ???? Rose City Book Pub, 4 pm - 9pm. bit.ly/43i9s8D

People really haven't realized that we're in the "post-USSR collapse" stage yet. Go look up what the '90s did to the average Russian lifespan.

You are allowed to vicariously adjust your moral framework for the purpose of enjoying a piece of entertainment. It is not an indicator that it is your "real" moral framework. It will not instantly replace your "real" moral framework.

Shoutout to Susan Hanfield, the audiobook narrator for “Drosera regina.” Her breathy and tragic performance even creeped *me* out. You can listen to it here starting at 16:36, or start at the beginning to enjoy "Thaw" by An Owomoyela. tinyurl.com/drosera-regina

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a new mRNA vaccine that has been shown to suppress abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina, offering hope to MILLIONS of patients with age-related vision loss. The vaccine triggered strong antibody responses that REDUCED retinal damage by UP TO 85%.

so if you're not into bugs you might not know this. but the difference between a cocoon and a chrysalis is that a cocoon is built by the insect, and a chrysalis is grown. when a butterfly caterpillar forms a chrysalis it grows beneath their skin and they molt to reveal it.

Went to a friend’s house for hot pot, and I’m convinced this is the Millennial fondue.
