this is why we need to bring back shame there need to be consequences for being a huge asshole, there need to be standards for how you behave in a decent society the rules cannot be set by the worst of us

Hey @picartotv.bsky.social are your email notifications broken? I haven't gotten one all day. Google blocking you again?

So, closing 1% of total US/ Canada stores, but nearly 10% of union stores. Some mathematicians would consider this evidence of union busting.

Taking time to condense down more data inherited from the parents. The pack rat tendencies of them extended to the digital realm. Hopefully I can trim and compress it down to 2TB, but the more the better.

Dean Withers here, showing that not all young white American men are modelling themselves on Charlie Kirk or Andrew Tate.

this has 11,000 now but as many as possible would be the goal!!

Before the events of Sep 10th, KOSA was reported to be dead in the committee. Now they're using said events as an excuse to try to get the bill through. Just because the debate guy got killed for his free speech doesn't mean they should take away yours. Linking resources below

ive made my calls to paypros and representatives today! have you? stop-paypros.neocities.org

Hey, so, survivor of CSAM (child sexual abuse material) here—and a global survivor advocate, including policy work! Fictional material is not illegal. That’s actually why deepfakes are such a big issue for survivors too. That said, actual art should *not* be made illegal. Why? (Con’t)

Let's make sure that we're remembering to do this too. It's been a whirlwind, but Jimmy Kimmel's return is a sign that we can still make a difference with payment processors too.

Welp, time to touch grass everyone. @theregister.com is reporting that all of AWS is down. 🤣

I will remind folks those images of Nazi book burnings aren't burning just any books. They're burning the library of Magnus Hirschfeld; a gay, Jewish doctor who created an institute dedicated to LGBTQ sex education and healthcare. And a man who pioneered gender affirming care surgeries.

Since we're all talking consent, I thought I'd revive this post I made back on Cohost last year.

as a fan of noncon, dubcon and under/non-negotiated cnc this is honestly one of the most straightforward explanations of this i've ever read?

A comic about CNC kink I've been thinking about for a few years, and I finally decided to sit down and make it.

imagine trying to cancel GWAR they've been doing this for 40 years and are fucking legends

Leaves typically start to peak in northern states by early October, but projecting peak foliage isn't an exact science. Here are some things you can do to get the most out of fall's colors.

Trump is calling autism “out of control” No… Autism stigma is out of control Ableism is out of control Inaccessibility to basic healthcare and support is out of control

I try to remember that while they were fighting the ban on gender affirming care for minors here, one of the (trans) lawyers did a thread reminding folks that they're really good at making this feel like an overwhelming groundswell, but it is one clown car of debunked experts on a road trip.

I know i'm just a trans woman but I'd speak to all of my sisters when I say: DON'T LISTEN TO FUCKING TRUMP ABOUT FUCKING TYLENOL! YOU ARE PREGNANT! YOU ARE HUMAN! YOU DESERVE PAIN RELIEF! JESUS FUCKING CHRIST CONSERVATIVE MEN NEED TO STOP BEING CRUEL

Yes, hi, this is me.

Sen. Murphy: "Tom Homan, Trump's border czar, literally accepted a bag of cash—$50,000—and the investigation was dropped when Trump became president. There are two standards of justice now in this country. If you are a friend of the president...you can get away with anything."

Edgelord comedians sure have been quiet about free speech suddenly.

Y'all, please call, email, and/or write your representatives, then share WIDELY what this administration is doing to scapegoat, oppress, and violently erase trans folks. We need EVERYONE in on this.

A fun fact about McCarthyism is that just two and a half years after he was condemned and censured, Sen. Joseph McCarthy drank himself to death at 48. Fevers break. Petty tyrants fall. Censorship and persecution drive good people to stand together and fight back.

We think the thing that sucks about being ace (personally) is that we see others be openly kinky and flirty and touchy. We get that, we understand the theory and the practical. But we can't flick the switch on to do that 90% of the time and it's maddening to feel fomo over it.

Saw a post of “Being gay is fun because you get to hang out in your underwear and talk about your summer” and I would like to counter with “This is the most exciting part of my weekend and it would be problematic if I was doing it in my underwear.”

Ok my cis friends, we are going to need a lot of you to step the fuck up and fight hard for us www.them.us/story/trump-...

It is also worth mentioning: BlueSky is, in theory, federated. It's just designed a bit different than Mastodon and pretty much everything is on one "instance" right now. I have heard rumblings of some Canadians trying to spin something up. That's all I know though.

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/🧵

When people say "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear." the correct response is: "I need privacy, not because my actions are questionable, but because your judgement and intentions are."

I'm not sure a blackout works here in this situation. Anti-porn activists WANT to silence you! Don't give them what they want. Be loud, use your voice, don't comply.

If bsky wants to censor porn, is censoring ourselves for a week a good idea? In the slightest? No.

normal yote things

Nothing says loving like having to work around a design choice in the tools of your work flow before breakfast and coffee in the morning. In other words: Dammit Pandoc!

As I like to think of it

Support porn 🫶 Censorship always starts with the “acceptable” targets and then slowly widens its nets until it’s banning things like “female-presenting nipples” or being openly queer. Be weird and stay weird

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

this exists it is called thinking

actions that will contribute more to pushing against bluesky's censorship than a blackout: -submitting a feedback request -@ing moderation about it -commenting on mods posts about it -making and sharing memes (ex: "i consent!" sticker) -leaving an app store review -just generally posting about it

Someone canceled a ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND dollar wedding

1. The Trump admin has demanded New York City to ban trans kids from bathrooms. Mayor Adams has come out in support of Trump's proposal. NY Law protects trans youth, and Adams has no power to implement it. Meanwhile, Mamdani has slammed Adam's comments. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Don't need to hear one more 'Bluesky is an echo chamber' post ever again. Meta is scraping parents IG 'back to school photos' of their daughters in schoolgirl uniforms and using them in ads to entice men to sign up for Threads. It's all pedos and perverts running the country. All of em.

It’s hilarious how much they fucked up
