imagine if bsky's devs listened to its artists and didn't hate them
dedicated media tabs with associated art tags we choose, displayed as a mosaic. Folders for us to sort that into. being able to organize it. etc etc
Let's leave reviews for visual novels together
it's always a great time to leave reviews for games you've played, no matter how short or long you write it — even a simple heart emoji review can help games in store algorithms like Steam!
The implicit media consensus is that urban voters should not be able to overrule rural voters, but that rural voters should be able to overrule urban voters, an assumption so axiomatic and unquestionable that nobody even understands they're making it.
Pic of a hand holding a cellphone that's so hot it has buckled. Caption reads "If you're hot, they're hot. Put them in the pool."
Dude has blocked every interesting person on the site I reckon. Surely that will help the team understand the needs of its userbase
hello to everyone else included in the "anti-ai ai haters" blocklist the technical advisor of bluesky just followed 🫡 it's an honor just to be nominated
Just look at it this way, the more of the Bluesky team block you the less chance you've got of being banned for making a joke they didn't like

I believe the frame that minoritized scholars are helped by unethical tech is a trap to avoid. We better fight the system of inequities ourselves & not buy into industry frames trying to sell their discriminatory, polluting, and exploitative tech as "inclusion".

YOU - Where the hood, where the hood, where the hood at?
SHIVERS - HAVE A BROTHER IN THE CUT. WHERE THE WOOD AT?
This Is Just To Say

They've deleted his account here.
Never not going to be furious about that.
Using it to do your cover is telling your audience: "I dont care if my book looks like slop"
Using it do your research is telling your audience: "I don't care about the authenticity of the work"
Using it do edits is telling your audience: "I don't care about the quality of the work"
the number of smart people (including people in tech) I've talked to who genuinely think their chatbot is sentient (or very close) is WAY more unsettling than the distant threat of Skynet
When these nuns say trans, they really mean it! BtF!
Please help Ahmed's family survive Israel's genocide, which has left them starving, sick, & homeless under constant attack. His parents urgently need healthcare, & he's exhausted from trying to get attention through Bsky's constant bans & deletions. They're not getting enough to survive:
Its not a hot take but man the way the word "content" is used these days. A vile bit of late stage capitalist propaganda, lumping all forms of human creativity and expression into a single wastebin teaching the public to treat all art as disposable.
By the time we see the Code of Practice, it will be too late to make sure it's trans inclusive. We have very little time. Reach out to your MP now 👇
I've learned so much from Hailey over the past several years. I'm so glad she's writing more stuff for English-speaking audiences!
And if you can spare a few bucks to support her, I'd be super grateful. <3
This is a valid point: whenever you see this sort of high-pressure sales tactic turned on a technology, you can be CERTAIN that it's a fake—actually useful new tech sells itself!
And don't underestimate the effectiveness of FOMO as a tool in the hands of a con artist.
Superman: Dinah! What are you doing here? Black Canary: I had to go to the bathroom and I thought- Superman: This is the bathroom for heroes with capes! It’s very well labeled! Black Canary: ...huh.
Please help Saeed's family survive Israel's genocide, which has left them starving, sick, & homeless under attack. Food, essentials, & healthcare are scarce & unaffordable, & they urgently need help:
It's why all the turbo libs who care more about their personal feelings than material reality love to do the 'Hinduism is not Hindutva!!!' gimmick to feel good, whilst ignoring everything Ambedkar outlined as to exactly how and why this framework *would* only get worse with time if not stopped.
It's why you have the rightwing conspiracy theories like 'Love Jihad' which are just Jim Crow-ass pretexts to lynch or jail Muslim men.
Following on in the long tradition of the Casteism that defines both 'Hinduism' & 'Hindutva' wherein 'lower caste' men were/are punished brutally with violence.
The entire Hindutva project is deeply repressive and harmful to anyone who isn't a cis man, and is obsessed with the bodily control, viewing women in particular as property to 'own'.
It's why it fosters such an unhinged rape-culture and turbo-misogyny, which are normalized to horrifying degrees.
Nothing more surreal than seeing Modi and the BJP try to kayfabe being turbo-wokesters fighting for women's rights and feminism.
Bastards wanted to pass through the most evil fascist policies on earth, flopped, and are now crying under the pretense that their championing of feminism was defeated.
