morning wood? morning would i ever!

let’s get this squared away this week, team!

I will certainly never support these methods of age verification. They're super fucking intrusive and dangerous.

hi everyone! you know i don't normally ask for money (esp. for myself), but i have a friend in great need here in Vancouver who needs help. my friend Ryah, who is a trans woman and immigrant from mexico, needs help with medical expenses to get diagnosed so she can get better and support herself.

dropping into a hellpod with my bestie like it's a f*gb*g

yess

Devil's Due

when I see someone actually writing down a movie I recommend instead of ignoring it like everyone else

The missing Link 😔

HERE'S HOW BLUESKY CAN STILL WIN (🧵):

announcing that northsky's 5th phase is starting an offshore PMC a la motherbase hope you're ready for the diamond dolls

we're decentralizing bluesky by pushing out all the minorities first #woke

is the app doing well when you feel like you can’t criticize fascists or management without being permabanned and cut off from online community

Sharing another GoFundMe that is SO CLOSE to finished to get a trans girl her name change. A friend of @ryleebread.tgirl.gay. Please help her out if you can: gofund.me/0684579f5 I gave a little bit too!

This would be a really good PR for @bsky.app to merge, given the current circumstances. (Fix for 2FA for independent PDS implementations) github.com/bluesky-soci... Please can we get this looked at @bsky.support?

the thing about free speech is, dissenting political free speech should be the *most* protected, but right-wingers confused hate speech with political speech. (probably because we live in a political system that requires hate to keep its imperialist murder-for-profit machine going!)

if you needed another reason to stop using spotify:

The Situationists called this "survival sickness", the tendency for capitalist alienation to reduce living to surviving until survival itself becomes unbearable

FREE LINK! FREE BILL KEZOS!

Ok yeah, got confirmation the reason Link appears banned on Blacksky is because Blacksky was using Bsky's appview-backend. This is very solvable, just bad timing for this shit to pop off. It's giving folks an incorrect impression that operating independently from Bluesky on ATproto is not possible.

We should try brutally oppressing and subjugating the billionaires for a few years, see how that goes. For science.

reject useless lesbian, find a way to be useful

I love checking the blocklists I'm on and it's like "leftists that make me so so so mad" by the most annoying guy you've ever seen in your life

can we please do a communism or something this shit is exhausting

repost if you want to build international communism or want a mean dyke to cover you in bruises and milk your prostate

hi aaron! I've been pretty consistently trying to deflect the hate and harassment away from you so that I can get an actual response from you. I expected that you'd misclicked. what i didn't expect was to be permabanned and have my appeal denied in 7 minutes I'm still open to a conversation -juni

Thanks for the heads up.

hey stream gang, due to the *gestures at the skyline* I will not have time to stream tonight! I'm going to try to make it up this week in the Thursday slot if possible. Sorry!

Shout out to @bnewbold.net and @futur.blue for their write ups on running a relay. Needed to add a local mirror so I don't have to backfill the entire firehose for my appview setup. whtwnd.com/futur.blue/3...

a sad piece of bluesky history (among many)

this is my belief with the caveat that i think they are doing it in the dumbest way possible that squanders any good will such that from the eyes of a fascist government, watching the website commit ritualistic suicide is just as good as crushing it by force.

The Lady Dracula reviews are in! Nintendo Power - "FUUCK! I HATE IT!!" X-Play - "FUUCK! I HATE IT!!" Miyamoto - "FUUCK! I HATE IT!!" Try the demo and wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/4044270/... Glitch art by @glitchwolfe.studio music by @mikhailagkonov.bsky.social game by me #castlevania

tech bros either love me or hate me to the degree they're doing misogyny because i will call it out every time and they hate that so much never seen a tech bro take correction gracefully, unfortunately. (but i've also know so many unproblematic sweetie pie programmers and they're really cute)

people in the year of our lord 2025 need to fucking rewatch Wall-E (2008)

Ryah: Hey all, just wanted to say thanks again for all the help peeps have given, whether by donating or just sharing this around. With the donations I've gotten so far, should be enough to appease my landlord and have him trust that I'll be able to pay the rest of the rent before the month is over.

here! I am not the author of this document and i don't know who is, but it is accurate and careful in all the sections where i have personal knowledge (which is most but not all of them). It covers the older history, not the most recent stuff, but is a good overview.

i think it'd do wonders for comms if she actually started promoting those instances lmao

No way the people prone to religious and spiritual psychosis are also prone to chat bot worship and psychosis. Wow you’re just telling me now for the first time

my sister in god's merciful light, is spawn-camping christlike?

if jesse singal “hasn’t violated the terms of use,” but the goofy autistic space law nerd with the bad food opinions has, maybe your terms of service are bad.

There is something incongruent about saying the userbase isn’t a product while you are using your active user growth when searching out seed funding

can't reply so qrp-ing: this is definitely concerning, given it appears from the screenshot they're using blacksky's app too. either, it's an app level ban but Blacksky is still using bluesky's "appview" backend (the most likely case), or there's something broken with bluesky moderation 🤨

Really bad for Jay to be re-sharing a Laurelai Baily (r*pist, cultist, fed-cooperator, wrecker) vibe-coded appview. Odd that Jay shares this instead of promoting the work @transrights.northsky.social and @rude1.blacksky.team are doing to push *actual* independent instances of ATProto tech.

i like to keep my followers on their toes

Spoopy time is here!

Weird, this stuff doesn’t look good in writing
