Get your ai bullshit out of my fetish tags or I'mma start being mean dude.

Help combat toxic masculinity by making sure the men in your life know that talking about your feelings is not only okay, but is healthy and encouraged. Life isn't a competition. Your masculinity should not be determined by society. Break the cycle.

Bluesky Support has suspended this furry congressional candidate's account for no apparent reason. They want to limit his reach and kill his campaign, presumably for not being whatever they consider "advertiser friendly". We really need to get loud about this, and not let them get away with it

Blender is struggling. it's the best piece of 3d software on the market, and it's free. I'm not going back to autodesk. please donate if you can! fund.blender.org

Oh yeah btw the reason why Vine is being relaunched with great fanfare and no Al is because it's jointly operated with an Al company and they probably don;t want to pollute their scrap pile with stuff they've already shat out.

The truth is, way too many journalists & content creators sat there and said nothing when SESTA-FOSTA passed, when OSA passed, when OF nearly lost porn due to paypros, even during this summer’s Collective Shout situation. A slow apocalypse for the free and open internet has been unfolding for years

you could be petting wolp right now

"it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed" This. This right here. I'm so, SO tired of having to scrutinize any piece of art that even remotely resembles genAI slop just to determine whether or not it's worth a second thought or any admiration.

That ACLU petition needs less than 10,000 signatures to meet its goal at time of writing. Consider signing it if you're stateside and haven't, or sharing it around beyond the bounds of BlueSky.

I'm watching an adult creator get systematically cut off from every income stream by payment processors and now debankment could be on the table. She makes legal content. They are trying to shut her up and hope that we'll shut up too. We must get louder. Call Visa and MC. Tell them this will stop.

#SaveSpeech if you are in the EU you should be FURIOUS with your leaders for pushing this through in such an undemocratic manner. continue to raise your voices and contact your representatives. demand that Chat Control be put down for good.

boy y'all have NO idea how much i wanted a pre-built PC from Valve themselves that mf is gon be mine as soon as i get the money (if i either get a job or maybe open up commissions who knows lmao)

Announcing: New @steampowered.com Hardware, coming in 2026: Steam Controller Steam Machine Steam Frame.  Watch our jazzy announcement video and wishlist now: steampowered.com/hardware

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

>They want the controversy ... to quietly disappear (Banging Pans Together) "I DON'T GET NO WORK DONE CUZ OF Y'ALL, Y'ALL AIN'T GON' GET NO WORK DONE CUZ'A ME!"

I think about this a lot.

LOOKING FOR BASS

I will repost this forever.

Keep it up lol

Debating with right wingers ( or their bots) is for screenshots and doxxing purposes. Don't fall for it. it's easy bate. If you see someone doing it, remind them.

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on. Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights. Block, and move on. This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

Hey, I always say it's important to do due diligence with block lists to make sure they aren't being abused And luckily, it's really easy to tell this one is super focused and helpful. 👍

If I find out that any of yall are actively interacting with what is obviously federal level rage bait instead of either blocking and moving on or just ignoring them, I'm not really gonna say anything but I'm gonna think to myself you're pretty dense~

I feel like it can't be understated how impactful even a relatively small percentage of people's audience supporting them can be. Like, if 5% of the people who love the work an artist does subbed to them on Patreon, that would probably be close to a livable wage for most of them.

Hey So this is capitalism trying to take a foothold in our community. They see a market, and they want a piece. If they get one, they'll want more, they'll start trying to show up at cons to sell us garbage They'll insert plants into our community (which I bet are already here now) --->

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Artists of all types, queer folk and many others flocked to Bluesky because your competitor molded over with nazies and tech bros. You have righties who largely refuse to engage here simply because of block features that work. Imagine what will happen to your coffers if we all left at once.

holy shit is it hard to be whimsy while job hunting

it goes without saying that Trump has absolutely no case here, nor even the standing to file a case, but even if he did, this is Exhibit, I dunno, Q that he is a sniveling bully who will only ever keep coming back for your lunch money until you tell him "fuck you, make me".

see a maw post a maw :3

If platforms really want to thrive, they should focus on empowering their creators—not shutting them down.

I really need you guys to internalize this. Government and corporations ripped Kimmel off the air for lightly badmouthing their behavior. Coordinated pushback by us is what forced them to cave in and put Kimmel back on air. Again. The fascists caved in *due to coordinated pushback.*

This is why everything sucks. It's not trans people. It's not immigrants. You are being robbed blind before your eyes and those same people also own all the tech and media networks to tell you that the cause is not them

they're at it again. Just called my reps, they're on board opposing KOSA, but everyone needs to reach out to their reps

Chiitan loves all transgender people. I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives. Blue Sky cannot display long posts, so please read this post if you'd like. love you all 🤍 ↓ www.instagram.com/reel/C9qppva...

also one way to look at this: This bill is comparable to a US version of europe's Chat Control proposal so it needs to be taken seriously

If @mtion.xyz gets funded, Bloops and I will come back.

hey speaking of fighting back against censorship: Michiganders, start calling/writing/faxing/in-person bothering your state reps about this!

Hey.👋 Release your tongue from the roof of your mouth. Relax your jaw. Relax your shoulders and neck. Breathe awhile.
