Ahhh Spring is making me so happy :))

i've seen "it would really stick it to the devs if we left bsky" posts & no it wouldn't. they want this web site to be boring crypto idiots who cool their phones off in pools chatting with AI reply bots. instead they have to put up with us and that's deeply funny

Incredible sequel. Edge of my seat!

PLEASE DON'T IGNORE THIS

my wife has a week left until her breast aug consultation, and she's *super* close to the halfway point of her goal. please help her get there, she's been fighting for this for years and i think this her best shot

I didn't know Slow Jim had gone 💔

Quality controlling a reprint of my giant millipede enamel pins. They each come with a teeny tiny cucumber pin! I miss Slow Jim a lot and I’m so glad these pins are well loved

It's still so crazy that in 2024 a huge chunk of bsky's userbase hit a peak of "we're ready to pay subscriptions for bigger features and support the platform, just tell us when it drops 🫡" and then within six months the Bsky team gleefully cut through all that good will with surgical precision

*hugs*

went to therapy years ago but didn't really go in depth (was a charitable one, couldn't afford anything else at the time)
This one has been considerably more productive, but damn some of the stuff is hard.

Like things I *know* were an issue but other stuff I never quite connected before

Non-binaryphobia is real. We need to talk about it I wonder if using non-binaryphobia as a separate term would help address the distinct issues we face

1 in 3 non-binary people and LGBTQIA+ women have avoided or delayed healthcare due to fears of bias or discrimination, new survey by @divamag.bsky.social finds #LVW26

From our archives, Jude explores the specific barriers and stigma non-binary people face 👇

So therapy is going.. ok.

but jeez I hadn't realised just how much some childhood issues had fucked with me x_x

And yes it affected how long it took me to come out, both times.

If you expect an extreme and unwarranted reaction for even inane things, your going to hide really important stuff

For anyone who missed it, Naked Penny Chapter One is gonna be posting right here on Bsky for the first time! One page at a time, all pages properly numbered, many in better resolution than they were on previous uploads. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE (continue to next skeet)

We recently revealed the government allowed UK companies to send drone engines to Israel without export licences.

Asked about this, trade minister Chris Bryant refuses to answer.

Bryant also misled parliament about UK aircraft parts for Israel.

Palantir is evil.

Destroy it and everyone who works for it, protects it, supports it and uses it.

Working on it ^^

Having to balance what I want to be.. what I am, and what I have to mask myself as in some places is wearing thin though :|

right, it feels notable to me that a lot of big tech after about 2020 decided to ditch the old “and here’s why this innovation will be good for you and the world” sales pitch in favor of “open, vicious threats.”

Alex says "well, economy's fucked. Time to start camming." She asks herself "what's my niche?" She gets an idea. She has set up a sexual version of Cow Tools. Her friend says "I don't get it..."

Tryna get over 10k on that Cow Tools post. Getting a five figure Bluesky post is like getting 100,000 fake internet points on other platforms and I am nothing if not a numbers sicko

Denying it for years.. decades even is what got me in this mess in the first place :c

Just worry that it makes people switch off, I want to talk about fun things, not that gender issues are making me want to tap out

AIs been around as a buzzword talking point for under 5 years.... Like there is logistically No Way everyone's using it. It's all bullshit. NOBODY I know would ever use it like???

because i know someone is thinking it, yes, i know the blackpilled likely truth here is that the UK government does not do consultations with a view to listening to those consulted, but as a consent-washing exercise, and they will do what they want. but ignoring it is not worth the risk. do it!

lrt i'm not sure i agree that "we have a chance of removing the online safety act" as a result of that consultation, but it's definitely important to take part in it if you're in the UK because there may at least be a chance of stopping it getting worse

I thought that, but her posing on a yacht with a cigar like a cartoon villain showed me she almost certainly knows, and revels in it

Same as she revels in the fairy tale of her being a rags to riches success story

With the decision to have a male protagonist over a female one, why did she humiliate the main female character the way she did? And not just once, but twice, over the same issue.

Getting one was kinda a
Symbolic thing for me, after years of pretending I wasn't trans.. and wanting to get one but feeling I wasn't allowed(????)

She sits on my bed mainly

Cringe? Maybe but I do not care.. have other things to worry about

Me and ‎⁨ @drakanecia.bsky.social have been cooking this up for almost 6 months now!

Yippee!!
