debuting my @leaflet.pub blog, pet.heika.dog, with a post about colonialism in the atmosphere:

I have actual trauma responses from being excluded from things I know are going on, thanks to a childhood filled with abuse. And, even with that, I support people blocking me or making posts on PDSes I am not a member, not least because my comfort is not more important than the safety of others.

Doing praxis by harassing black communities

My least favorite thing about some developers is when they think being shitty is okay because they built something people use

very thoughtful piece worth reading if you are at all interested or invested in atmosphere or social media as a whole

apropos of nothing at all, @anisota.net already supports bluesky’s unreleased pronouns field — you can edit your profile to include pronouns and see other users’ pronouns who have already done this too here are mine, hoping bluesky finally releases this in their client

'I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk, I hate the way that you dress I hate the way that you sneak diss, if I catch flight, it's gon' be direct.'

It’s not my fault if what you read isn’t what I actually wrote

Insanely good stuff to debut on, it's good to have this shit said on here because the push against what Blacksky is cooking Is antithetical to what an open social media community could be.

it should be illegal for me to have to see someone with a handle ending in .moe post about the racial and geopolitical climate of the united states

i'm not interested in the discourse regarding "exposing people's alts" when the people on said alts were espousing deeply harmful rhetoric. it's clearly deflecting from the issue at hand about the people i mentioned being deeply weird and racist about black people

Mmm. White people reacting to a Blacks Only space sure don't seem to mind it when them spaces are actual neighborhoods or schools or prisons!

Lots of secret hostility. - Rudy is a hack - Blacksky is a semi-proprietary ethnocentric social network just “popping up” - Blacksky is masquerading as fully open source would you all like me to still speak at #AtmosphereConf this year? I don’t have to.

atproto drama try not to devolve into racism challenge: failed twice now why cant some atproto devs just be normal about things i promise you blacksky only posts are NAWT that big an issue atproto is not decentralization for decentralizations sake jfc

debuting my @leaflet.pub blog, pet.heika.dog, with a post about colonialism in the atmosphere:

this year’s biggest asshole on atproto goes to the same it did last year. being a good developer doesn’t give you the right to be a hateful piece of shit. fuck off, we don’t want you here.

Categorizing prevalent anti-Black racism from prominent members within the atproto community as “haters gonna hate” is a dramatic understatement and minimizes and normalizes the harassment the folks doing literally the most for atproto face on the daily

white atproto devs are complaining about safe spaces again hmmm when has this happened before

great to see folks building new and meaningful social features on their own timelines. especially guided by community feedback and prioritization. the future of this atmosphere thing should be shaped by many hands

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors. Great work everyone.

it should be illegal for me to have to see someone with a handle ending in .moe post about the racial and geopolitical climate of the united states

me when someone takes my racial commentary completely out of context and takes it as an attack on white people solely for the color of their skin, but they have an ableist slur in their alt's handle

[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!!!!

Rudy demos Blacksky-only posts right at the beginning of Black History Month, and a bunch of non-Black ATProto devs get mad at the way he implemented it? Yeah that tracks

I love this. Bar these Nazis from public service employment forever. thelalocal.org/immigration/...

‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." … She offered me $2600 to self-deport. I refused. I wanted to talk to my attorney. They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

Asked on AF1 if he’s going to fire the staffer who allegedly posted the Obamas video, Trump says: “No, I looked at it. I saw it, and I just looked at the first part.” He says he “didn’t see” that part. Will he apologize? “No, I didn't make a mistake.”

BREAKING: substack gives employees off to sign up for ICE on the day of the general strike

AI agents engaging with people on bluesky

[to the tune of american idiot] 🎶 come on down to cleveland town everyone come and look at both of our buildings buy some food that's prepared near the street who knows, you might even see this guy 🎶

ragebaiting is out. around these parts we call that "riling up the dog"

So he personally admits now that a staffer did not post this without his knowledge

BREAKING: New reaction from Leader Jeffries to the racist Trump video: "This disgusting video posted by the so-called president was done intentionally. Fuck Donald Trump and his vile, racist, and malignant behavior. This guy is an unhinged bottom feeder."

The federal government is stealing our neighbors and then slandering them, telling us our neighbors are dangerous criminals. They hate our neighbors because our neighbors aren't white and they want to cleanse the country of them, and then the monsters don't even have the guts to be honest about it.

Breaking MS NOW: The Department of Homeland Security *unsuccessfully* sought to expedite deportation proceedings against the family of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos, according to a local school official. At an asylum hearing Friday, the family was granted a continuance. www.ms.now/news/dhs-rep...

you know it's bad when they would rather us think that a rando staffer has unfettered access to the social media accounts of the President of the United States, where we also now know that world leaders direct message him

Eliminating ICE is the modern equivalent of opposing the Iraq War, and right now there are two types of Democrats: those who can see where the ball is moving and go to it, and those who will be swept away because they refused to do so.

Vice President JD Vance gets roundly booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics. "Those are a lot of boos for him, whistling jeering," says the presenter. US athletes receive a warm welcome from fans, though.

credit where due, NBC doesn’t put scare quotes around “racist”

The gall. He shot a woman who posed no threat to him and then boasted about it as he and his colleagues falsely maligned *her* reputation to cover it up. The only question should whether his texts are admitted as evidence at his criminal trial.

what do you think would happen if i got an older man and showed him fesh pince

We reviewed more than 100 Minnesota license plates attached to immigration enforcement vehicles in recent weeks. We found that nearly 60% were not registered with the state of Minnesota, including the Chevy Tahoe that federal agent Jonathan Ross traveled in the day he fatally shot Renee Good.

🚨NEW: A federal judge out of Oregon has issued a sweeping rebuke of the DOJ’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls. The opinion released Thursday concluded that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warned that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

Finneas is better at political messaging than 99% of the Democratic consultants in DC.

That’s it, exactly. ICE is trying to figure out how to make us scared. They tried following us home, didn’t work. Tried threatening us with arrest, didn’t work. Tried arresting us, didn’t work. Tried tear-gassing us, didn’t work. People just keep not being afraid of them and following them around.

Sen. Tim Scott, the only Black Republican in the Senate, had this to say:

I hope this happens every day for the rest of his miserable life lasvegassun.com/news/2026/fe...
