Roo Island called. They miss you. They told me you would know what that means?

You guys wanna read a guy whos not owned slowly turn into a corncob?

POV: you just asked a "joined Nov '24" Ally on bluesky to not fantasize about your state-sanctioned murder

The biggest response I've seen from full-time creators impacted by SubscribeStar's new rules: "If this is what the future holds, I have to stop doing certain adult content." I cannot fault a single VA, artist, animator, VTuber, or so on for changing their content strategy. But it's such a loss

When you have a problem with a trans woman on Bluesky so suddenly you whip out the they/them pronouns and rely heavily on the "this person" to describe them ... almost like a lot of the antagonism I deal with on here has a backbone of transmisogyny 🤔

thanks everybody! excited to be a small part of a game i've been looking forward to for so long <3 here's to a strong finish for Blades '68 in the final 24 hours!

"Illinois" "Suburban Chicago" — look just skip to the chase and say this was in Rosemont, aka the tiny personal fiefdom of one very lucky, very evil family:

Bluesky hates trans women so much that when a bunch of people decide to sexually harass us and mass report us, the mods take their side and then even when we're back, they'll scrape posts from however far back it takes to make sure we stay dead.

the first version of this I drew the portrait SO REALISTIC it would essentially doxx me so I toned it back a bit 😭 #furry #furryart

Some conspiracy theories starting to go around about why Aftermath doesn't really cover payment processor shenanigans when the simple answer is they just don't care.

Big mistake publishers make all the time is to do things that make people want to pirate their games out of sheer spite.

Man...I just Showed Up For Racial Justice and I'm the only one here who doesn't have a totenkopf tattoo.

@moderation.bsky.app so u guys just straight up hate rape victims huh. I guess that tracks since @aaron.bsky.team still works here

Nekima on the Target boycott.

My life is unfathomably easier and filled with (relatively) more free time than it would otherwise if I didn't own a dishwasher, washer, or dryer. I own an oven instead of needing to start a fire in my backyard.

Again, this is delusional. This is a mass psychosis event. If there is a terrorist attack that would be awful but I don't believe it'll be from the Iranian state. The FBI lies constantly and lets known shooters get away with killing so I don't trust them!

Me, in 30 years having not gotten the news that the boycott ended

The fact that most left adjacent media has this ick about porn if not downright hate is how the conversation ends up getting captured by the far right and used for yet another radicalization pipeline cuz they go

A Israeli brigade commander told Palestinians in the Jordan valley that the IDF plans to remove all Palestinians currently living in "Area C" - that's 60% of the West Bank - within a year. IDF spokesperson was asked for comment and did not deny this. www.ha-makom.co.il/area-c-evacu...

Just to nail down a timeline for anyone curious:

It's hard to put into words how much of a difference you can make to someone's day simply by reading a story they wrote, sharing it, and telling them that you liked it. Not only is the reading itself a worthwhile pleasure, it's also just a wonderful gift. It's so worth doing

The government is asking for public comments on whether banks should be able to deny you from buying legal goods at their own whim (i.e. how they're cracking down on art) Tell them you don't want to be told how to spend your money www.federalreserve.gov/apps/proposa...

This is really awful, and I'm reminded that the NYAG cited games journalism in its case against Valve... we must be careful not to be tools of the age verification menace

Pedro Sanchez •Calls for end of veto power in UNSC, integration of Brazil, India, and African countries into the permanent membership •Downgrades relations with Israel •Calls Germany a "vassal" of the US

“Multifamily housing is for young renters and the poor while single family homes are for established adults with children” is a really pernicious folk theory about how housing markets should work that I think is foundational to so much bad housing policy at all levels of government.

This has become a trend on Douyin (TikTok) in China where they're making fun of the Trump prayer circle. Employees pray for better business at aluminum cutting factory.

[seeing a new 3pp A Pound of Flesh module] Fine, I guess I'll reread GURPS Terradyne.

i think the americans need to go militant atheism on the evangelical churches and the british need to have a republicanism moment. complete french liberalism vindication

This is the natural conclusion to self-help/Silicon Valley cultists thinking reading Wikipedia summaries or listening to books at 2x speed is the same as reading the book.

I'm gonna say this once If I see anyone after today say or repost something like "why should I care about these changes, I don't like "degenerate" art. You gotta kill the fascist that lives in your head because guess what. The sword is closer to your head than you realize

Btw, if it's not clear: The tactic the right is using rn is to start censoring fetishes and kinks that are generally accepted to be "bad" or "gross" by most people to slowly warm us up to the idea of censoring all sexual expression online. Don't fall for this by going "this is actually based!!"

I will be real I was part of anti war stuff at the time and the word populist wasnt a thing because most Americans were pro war until the back half of the decade so tbh I have no clue what this is supposed to mean.

the PSOE Might be the only european social democratic party with a spine

Spaces for kids have been destroyed or re-worked into stores, adult spaces aren't allowed to be actually "adult" lest we anger the CC companies, and supposedly neutral spaces are full of gambling/porn ads, disinformation, and right-wing pipelines. An internet that is increasingly not for anyone.

The (publicly supported!) response to 9/11, an incident that destroyed just a few buildings and killed a few thousand people, was to launch a war in Iraq that killed upward to a million people blew up hospitals, schools, and power plants. After killing half a million Iraqi children last decade.

can we talk about how americans have never actually been at war with anyone. you guys have never had your country invaded in the 20th century. pearl harbor BARELY counts. you guys are fucking terrorists and the whining about how youre in Moral Danger now is proof that your fears are abstract

This is important if you don't want visa or MasterCard to tell you how to spend your money.

I gotta say this war has led me to believe that 95% of military spending in the US just goes to defense contractor shareholders and nothing else. Like what do you mean the US just decommissioned its only mine defusing boats in the gulf and there’s no replacements?

also like the entire myth of the air war that breaks a country has been the core doctrine of US military policy since ww2. we valorize the idea of the brits sticking it out through the blitz but then believe that no non white country could ever survive that no matter how many times they do.

""I'm afraid I could be arrested if I travel to that state for your wedding and need to use the restroom at the venue ..."

between "spider-man and spongebob are the only US heroes" and "get ready for $200 a barrel" i am drawing the conclusion iran at least rhetorically really has us figured out

kind of not ideal that the world economy is run by a cabal of pedophiles but also the two corporations that control all consumer spending think that if you jerk off you should be unbanked
