They will be called ICE Youth and when the historical parallels are pointed out they will act like it's insane to draw that comparison

Sorry America but after Jan 31 no industrial size Kirkland Signature for you if the workers don't get their due

Working on a new post on our plans for 2025, which includes a section on Bluesky. There'll be a list of botanical starter packs and that's why the post is taking a LONG time to write. e.g I add this to the list: go.bsky.app/7Gn2NCb & then find new people that I should be following have been added.

It's time.

World Central Kitchen announces it is halting operations in Gaza after Israel targeted one of its vehicles in an airstrike, reportedly killing three WCK staff and then two rescue workers. The IDF claims—without providing evidence—that one of the WCK workers was a “terrorist.”

Is it Bad to leave Twitter? No. Here are 7+ years of insights from my lab’s research that explain why. Featuring work w/ @williambrady.bsky.social @killianmcloughlin.bsky.social 🧵

Until 2/3 of each House give Donald Trump amnesty for his crimes against this country and the Constitution, his word has no force of law. He cannot order anyone to do anything. He is not a legitimate president. Embrace it. Demand it. Live by it. Become ungovernable.

The most stressed out I've ever been about Christmas was when I was 16 and I got my first ever job, working at M&S in Dundrum. As soon as I started I kept hearing these myths about the Christmas Eve Waste Sale, where all the food that wasn't sold on the 24th was marked down 90%.

So @rudyfraser.com is doing amazing work But why isn’t @bsky.app paying it hiring him and sustaining it This shouldn’t be fundraise work This is “here is your equity and an assistant” work Especially since #blacksky Moderation is frankly responding faster than Bluesky

Word of warning, Kiwifarms appears to be doing a coordinated harassment campaign involving spam accounts and fake blocklists. Beware of subscribing to or boosting lists created by brand new accounts like this one:

I made a rough-and-ready short video walking you through the process of uploading your hīkoi photos to Wikimedia Commons. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwe-...

Eru Kapa-Kingi, speaking at the hīkoi: “Pākehā mā, you should not fear Māori liberation. Because Māori liberation goes hand in hand with the liberation of all people who live in Aotearoa... Everyone gets a feed on this marae. No one gets left behind." #ToitūTeTiriti

Many of us are echoing @timothysnyder.bsky.social's lesson in On Tyranny, "Do not obey in advance.” A no less vital admonition that deserves attn: STAND OUT “...without that unease, there is no freedom. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow."

Your photos of yesterday's historic hīkoi are important. You can add them to the public record with Wikimedia Commons, Category:Hīkoi to Parliament. I wrote a step-by-step guide (www.rove.wiki/blog/uploadi...) and an accompanying video tutorial (www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwe-...).

Since he's not on this site, I'll post this here. Younis Tirawi found that the IDF has turned north Gaza's only water desalination plant into a military base. It's located just north of Gaza City, and satellite imagery confirms the presence of military vehicles. www.dropsitenews.com/p/gaza-water...

I am finding it quite unbearable to watch Sarah McBride bear the grotesque attack of her colleagues with so much grace. I know it is what we have been taught to expect of trailblazers, but I am increasingly struggling to accept this.

5. Bluesky's team consists of about 20 full-time employees. That's a million users here per employee now 🤯 Also, we're hiring! bsky.social/about/join

Yet another plea to people who are using or following people off follow-farming hashtags like #NoDemUnder1K, #NoDemUnder5K, #BlueCrew, #FBR, etc etc: please do not do that, it's how disinformation operations work. I'm already seeing accounts in those hashtags that are likely disinformation ops. 1/

Seemed like an appropriate message to take to Parliament.

Stuff is reporting that Parliament grounds are essentially full with still thousands on the hikoi yet to arrive. I am so so proud to be tangata Tiriti & Pākehā today. Te Tiriti gives me a place to stand here in this whenua alongside tangata whenua. Thank you Aotearoa. PHOTO: Megan Jones

Hīkoi sinage game was strong. If you have hīkoi signs, don't throw them away. Take them to the National Library of NZ (Molesworth St). The library is collecting. This is a part of NZ'S history. Toitū te Tiriti

Today has been a good reminder to New Zealand, and hopefully to other good folks around the world: Solidarity is not just a thing that you feel. Solidarity is a thing that you practice.

Not a scrap of rubbish on the ground. No violence. No arrests. No swastikas. No nooses. Fifty thousand people all uniting to voice their objection to the absurd, peacefully observing the kaupapa. That's a power you can't dismiss or switch off.

In 1999 I underwent a difficult brain tumor surgery. It resulted in hearing problems. I had to deal with this in school, college, PhD, and now in my professional career. I'm sharing my story with a hope to help others who might be coping with difficulties. blog.lukaszolejnik.com/invisible-di...
