you may have seen that chronic illness has been winning some battles against me lately working to bounce back but in the meantime getting something from my bandcamp is a huge help! koteblue.bandcamp.com/music

it's bandcamp friday aka the best day to support a struggling musician ngl

Wow, just wow. Ain’t no WAY SAG-AFTRA took Sheryl out of context to make a pro-AI sentiment. Throwing a Black woman under the bus to promote AI? Right after Black History Month???

losing my dayjob and then my apartment seems to have ruined my chances of getting another job and apartment

You know, I know Haiti has been made to suffer for the temerity of freeing itself, but having "my ancestors killed their oppressors" as the baseline by which I judge my choices ... is beneficial in some ways.

Me looking at the lack of masks in the ER:

i'm gonna be a bit more offline than usual trying to get ahead of symptoms 🤞🏽

Across Canada, renters are being asked to hand over deeply personal data while AI tools scan social media, generate “risk scores,” and quietly decide who gets housing. ✅ ❌ 👉 Read our latest guest post on the rise of AI landlords in Canada, by Lynn Yu Ling Ng openmedia.org/article/item...

unfortunately we all know why

Happy #FeatureFriday, folks! This is the day of the week where we travel the uncharted musical waters, discover an album by a BlueSky artist and present it to you. This week we have something moody and electric for you: "Averdonia" by @gonemune.bsky.social! www.untidydownloads.com/featurefrida...

#FeatureFriday This week we have "Averdonia" by @gonemune.bsky.social! www.untidydownloads.com/featurefrida...

It's not #BandcampFriday but I'd still encourage you to support indie musicians. So: throughout the day, if you reply to this thread with a screenshot showing you bought something from Bandcamp today, I'll give you a d/l code for one of my last 4 releases (so max 4 per person I guess).

This week's #FeatureFriday is "Averdonia" by @gonemune.bsky.social

my nervous system is genuinely more fried than living through peyi lòk/barikad times in haiti

Sorry AI is all hype! None of it’s true. You’ll never convince people who are hip to the game! You’re just trying to ease your guilt for plagiarizing & harming Black southerners with pollution.

They watched livestreams and countered the police/news narrative live online with clips of the FULL scene instead of snapshots the news selected. Online activism is still ACTIVE WORK.

If anyone is looking for some slightly eccentric, but really well-written and performed music, Mira's music is a very good catch! And you could really help someone in need out at the same time. 🙏

I would say this footsie-with-selfhood thing surrounding AI is about the "dumbest" use of philosophy I have seen in my lifetime, but that would be letting it off the hook. It's actually an inexcusable corruption of philosophical language in the service of ethically laundering exploitation.

This article immediately labels @emilymbender.bsky.social and I as "curmudgeons" because we don't think that the spicy auto complete has a concept of the self.

How very black history month to suddenly discover even more underground railroad

Boosting because this would be amazing for all of my folks there!

I really think a lot of this isn't grasped because: 1) it's not news-worthy at all 2) it's not in English 3) language-centric ignorance/xenophobia prevents empathy It's not too late but the work is a lot

Keeping it a buck, Haitians and Cubans are tightly woven together since the US took land from Cuba to hold Haitians captive for no real reason outside of political torture.

it is Difficult

pls😭😭😭

the one in the light suit look like he bout to faint and i get it

This is so dystopian

i had been having lots of trouble migrating pds the last few months but todays mess motivated me to keep trying again and again i finally got it to work 🙌🏽

Donc on résume : il a été doxé, menacé, il a prévenu la police qui ne l'a pas pris au sérieux (ça me rappelle un truc, tiens), et donc... Trois personnes l'ont agressé chez lui. On en est là.

Up at 7:21am bawling because this is the first thread I've seen about #YourSlipIsShowing that genders and includes me properly, thank you so very much

I genuinely cannot think of anything more nasty, paternalistic, and yeah, racist, than quoting Dr. Toni Morrison *to Black people using Blacksky* in order to explain how wrong YOU think they are about what features they as a community--not a monolith!--would like to see implemented.

[blacksky makes private posts for its community] white atproto devs: oh my god this is vendor lock-in this is so bad for the atmosphere!!!!

All nonBlack nerds who care more about tech gatekeepimg rather than the safety of Black users shut the FUCK up challenge

There’s so much going on here. First why do you care so much? Why do you feel so entitled to what’s happening in this community? You could’ve wrote this about any other PDS instead you tried to shame us with a quote from Morrison then say it’s not about race. The math isn’t mathing.

So the developer of Blacksky is dealing with hate from white developers about making a Blacksky only version? I mean, it’s American as Apple pie

James Baldwin used to ask White people to think about why they created the Nslur (the word and the concept) and why they seemed to need it. It’s because their inherently aggressive culture would destroy itself without a designated target.

#bandcampfriday is right now and my latest release is up for grabs! Walk into the Sea is actually my first studio recording, i wrote it this summer and released it in winter bc blood sweat and tears is reallll

thank you so so much!! i can't tell you how deeply i appreciate this support and im overjoyed you liked the song!

I'm making my usual #BandcampFriday plea: if you love music, consider spending as much today on music at Bandcamp as you do every month on music streaming subs. One $10 sale can make an artist's day-- and put as much money in their pocket as ~5000 or more streams!
