The thing to understand about "age verification" laws is that they are not just for kids The only way to "stop kids from doing xyz online" using age-gating is to demand a government ID (or invasive biometric face scan) from EVERYONE. This means associating your gov ID with EVERYTHING YOU DO ONLINE

I am. Fucking livid. www.youtube.com/@Aether-and-...

#SaveSpeech The European Council has agreed on a version of Chat Control with "voluntary" scanning that it wishes to push forward in 2026: www.patrick-breyer.de/en/reality-c... Obviously, it's still just Big Brother and needs to be fought. Keep calling your reps: fightchatcontrol.eu

It would be extremely cool if a bunch of people called payment processors over Black Friday weekend to ask why they're telling people what they can and can't buy with their own money. This holiday season, give the gift of calling payment processors over Black Friday weekend

my beloved @incompletemachine.bsky.social & I are seeing the #Wicked double-feature at the pictures tomorrow and I would say my feelings about this outing are entirely normal, completely sane, totally hinged #WickedForGood

This isn't gonna stop at smut, or with Ana. Do not let these payment processors determine where you can and cannot spend your money. That YOU earned. You are being robbed of choice in place of 'Correct, Appropriate Purchases'. Keep making noise. Keep talking about it or they will take Everything.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Aya. Before the war Aya was an Arabic language teacher at a kindergarten. She was forced to flee her home and this week in addition to the floods her tent also burned. She has four children Omar, 10, Mohammed, 8, Wasim, 5 and Yasmine, 3 months

This is terrifying and it won't end with sex workers They are coming for ALL of us We need to start putting massive pressure on payment processors again & demand that they process payments for all legal content

Hey, I know it’s not great on this app atm. It is lead by shit people who do shit things with no regrets. But please consider there are people like myself that are dependent on Bluesky to survive at the moment. Holiday sales alone are so important. I hope you will stick around as long as you can. 💜

I never imagined I would reach this level of pressure… We’re only £100 short to complete this month’s rent. Please help me secure the roof under which my children can sleep safely… So their tomorrow can be a little less frightening, and a little more peaceful. 💔

No surprise: “AI peer reviewers recommend the acceptance of unsound papers created entirely by AI more than 80% of the time, a new study has found.” Surprise: the article still tries to spin it positive for “human-AI collaboration.” People, please draw the correct conclusion.

Skeb thanks!!

Hobbies cost money. Nobody looks at Magic the Gathering players or Warhammer 40k players and think suspiciously wealthy gamers. It's when money is given to other people instead of corporations does the math change. Furries have mutual enjoyment of the craft and with that comes mutual support.

I talk to the press professionally, I'm really, really, really good at it. So please, please believe me when say you cannot turn this interview request into anything good, it will do only harm. Harm to you, harm to your child, harm to other children.

Nov 2025 -- UK Liberal Dem's LGBT+ and Young Liberals caucuses outraged over new party rules allotting seats in party elections by biological sex under new Supreme Ct ruling. At least 5 trans candidates affected. Even the women's group Lib Dem Women expressed concern. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

#SaveSpeech starting Nov 1st we're entering the holiday season, which is a big stress point for big businesses like Mastercard and Visa. These Paypros havent stopped cracking down on Adult Content, so we need to jump back into calling them in full force again! stop-paypros.neocities.org

So Lauren Bobo Boebert goes full on racist for Halloween…Translation is “tell me if you see ICE coming “, but in an intentional Spanish mispronunciation, making fun of the abductions and deportations. She is a classless twat…👇

"It’s basically Groundhog Day." Israel's violations of the Gaza ceasefire are part of a long pattern of the country breaking truce deals as soon as they are signed, says Palestinian analyst Muhammad Shehada.

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ. We now have to cover the costs of a campaign *and* a legal battle to preserve our First Amendment rights. Help us win this fight by chipping in at katforillinois.com/legal

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

A good article comparing Qobuz to Tidal as alternatives to Spotify freeyourmusic.com/blog/qobuz-v...

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants. Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

A mother of 8 was deported within 24 hours of reporting sexual harassment by an ICE contracto She was following the rules & going through the process to get her green card Someone working on behalf of ICE abused her. She spoke out and was kicked out of the country. It’s retaliation & it’s wrong

Karoline Leavitt officially announced the "Launch of a large-scale investigation to find the people behind 'No Kings.'" I've saved her some time.

You will suffer the curse of caw! Share if you care to spread the curse even further!  #fishcrow #art

ICE is struggling to hire officers — even after lowering its standards. DHS is spending millions of dollars on an aggressive television ad campaign targeting local police officers — but it's not getting nearly enough applicants. It looks like most Americans simply don’t want to be ICE thugs.

If your democrat rep is on this list send an email or call. KOSA is real bad. It will be used by the current admin for mass censorship.

There are 28 replies to this message. Only one is visible now. I have not hidden any messages to it. Bluesky moderation saw fit to remove all these Palestinians replying to it banned for trying to get their needs met on this platform. Fuck's sake.

Worth a watch if you're America:

This is unacceptable. The tech sector must be held accountable and take responsibility. @techvsterrorism.bsky.socials Adam Hadley: "Platforms have largely given up in being proactive in finding and removing terrorist content." "The standards across the tech sector have dropped."

Heather Honey, a high-profile denier of Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 election, was appointed to a senior DHS position in which she’ll help oversee election security. “DHS now appears poised to become a primary amplifier of false election conspiracies pushed by our enemies,” one expert said.
