So, you are saying people should be abused by others on a daily basis, the problem is them not us. They push hate, they allow people to be abused, attacked, stalked, it takes its toll on people. It is not opposing viewpoints, its vile and hateful ffs. #NoHate

Thread. I particularly want to put a spotlight on David's point that measuring the success of a site on its (direct) political impact is reductive. Bluesky has a critical mass of artists and creators and a lot of very good things, for individual creators and for the culture, could come from that.

Good morning! ☀️☕️ Friends, we need to buckle up and put our game faces on. No one’s coming to save us. It’s us. WE are the cavalry. We cannot sink into despair or continue with the circular firing squad. Focus. Get ready for the call, the bat signal, whatever. Oh, buy battery packs. Trust. 🤳

people say “you need to start living in the real world” but they forget that the real world includes lupines and lightning bugs and ginger beer and starlight and sea coasts and Renoir paintings and Rachmaninoff’s piano concertos and fog banks and foxes playing in snow.

You never know what's gonna happen. So hug a loved one. Plant a tree. Call your mother. Call her bad names if you want. But don't count on money when she dies. Rob graves instead. Summon an undead army. Conquer the world. Stand atop an army of bones with a fiery skull in your hand. Or read.

Every time I read about banning books, I think of this: Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius. If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.

The way they changed Pochi's "no-desu" to "sir" is something I didn't like for quite a few of the light novels (I'd read most of the WNs at least twice)... But by now I'm getting used to it and recognizing her and most of the others' verbal tics...

If your religious beliefs are so fragile that the existence of other people who live differently feels threatening to your way of life, then that’s not a reflection on their values, it’s a reflection on yours.

I don't talk about how the pain and my depression intersect at times to make it so very difficult to keep going. I don't talk about how having pieces of myself disappear makes me feel like a burden, or how much of my life is mourning loss after loss. Or how sometimes spite isn't even enough.

I'm sorry to hear about bad things, but if it's okay for you to post when you're feeling okay, then equally it's okay for you to post when you feel horrible. People are humes, emotions are part of being hume and people *should* understand. But maybe that's a too autistic PoV..
