I just. Need to get off the platform. Which sucks. I wanna be present. I wanna know what's happening in the world. But my heart can't take it right now. I'm gonna delete the Bluesky app. Maybe until after I figure out this whole heart thing. Hope yall have fun. I can't seem to, unfortunately.

But I think the problem is people. I understand the weirdness of needing a 'safe space' from what's going on in the world, but I'm a queer, fat, neurodivergent, mentally disabled person. I've become so stressed with the world that hates me that it's developing into a *literal heart condition.*

Orangejules @orangejules.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

Which means I might have to leave here too. I don't have enough control over the algorithm to find ways out of this kind of fuckery that finds me constantly. I thought Bluesky might be different. I was hoping it would be less likely to shill out the terrible posts.

Which means that unfortunately, bad news circulates pretty heavily, pretty easily, no matter how many people I block or what I curate. It just. Gets. Through. And while I understand the importance of keeping up with the times, my heart LITERALLY, *medically* can't handle that right now.

Orangejules @orangejules.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

When I get too stressed now, my heart literally acts up and starts to hurt. How am I supposed to be a content creator if I can't even handle how platforms usually work, aka, generating stress to keep you glued to the screen? Bluesky is lovely- but it is STILL an algorithmic social media.

Orangejules @orangejules.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

Sighs I may have to leave Bluesky too. Damnit. For context, recently I've had issues with things like heart pain due to literal stress. I have to watch what I intake very carefully. News about transphobia, AI slop, and possible medicaid disappearances is following me on ever platform.

I went to a pop-up holiday market and this white lady selling hand made ceramic earrings was proudly displaying the political message left by an assassin on bullet casings after a successful murder so that’s a bit of a data point for Where Things Are

A table at a craft fair-type event shows ceramic items for sale, including earrings, a smiley face spoon, and other knickknacks. There are ceramic letters on the table spelling out “deny depend depose”. The artist is a white woman in glasses standing proudly with her work.

I kinda hope it doesn't get a trending tab, to be honest. I would rather not have another algorithmic popularity contest a la twitter...

Knight and the enemy within [ #art | #ttrpg | #oc ]

knight oc Wreg holding his one-handed sword to his inner thigh, the blade almost ready to puncture the white fabric of his trousers. His outer layers, belt and armor pieces are falling off, and his upper torso is bare. Only half of his face can be seen, looking stern. Background is dark, with illustrated rose thorns and blood drops.

Sometimes transitioning really does feel like this, even if you know for sure you want it. Thank you, this resonates with me a lot.

Seeing far too many AI garbage images out in the real world. Here's your reminder that there are no ethical uses of this crap whatsoever. I don't care how you try to justify it to yourself, or how you think it's "just okay this once". There is no good in it, and a whole lot of bad.

the people many of us left twitter to get away from seem oddly baffled by a lot of folks not wanting them here

Please note I don't do follow backs most of the time bc I mostly follow friends, artists, or people with content I like! I'm just kind of a lurker here, aint no need to follow me or nothin like that. Am just a little guy scrollin.

Who knew that advanced surveillance technology just meant that each day the shooter doesn't come forward, we will continue to be served photos of new guys in nice jackets with increasingly more impressive eyebrows?

Festive bulb 🎄❄️ #art #pokemon

An illustration on a cool blue background of a bulbasaur happily standing on some snow with a small, snowed-on Christmas tree on its back. Its body is a soft, clean white, with icy blue patches. The little Christmas tree has some lit up Christmas lights on it, and a glowing yellow star on top. Beside this bulbasaur is a couple of snow balls arranged in a pyramid.

The claim that it’s for anyone to take, and that we need to effectively stop posting if we don’t want it stolen is fucked up. It’s like saying “you hate how your boss mistreats you? Just don’t go to work then!” We have to upload our art if we want to make any sort of career off of it.

Creators made their work ‘publicly available’ online, for free, because they were told for years that it would get them ‘exposure’. The claim that this gives AI companies permission to use that work to build highly scalable competitors to them is absurd.

You know what is more helpful than endless stories and hot takes about how we are all doomed and our rights are being stolen? Stories about what we can do about it, and what organizations we can join to strengthen the opposition. Just saying.

Gender stuff once again getting to me. Weh. I'm not exactly sure what it is about today, I'm just tired and dissatisfied with gender as a concept again.

Orangejules @orangejules.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

Same reason why I left. The hatred against transmascs was *insane.* There was so much strange hate and slurs being thrown around, I just couldn't handle it.

idk, maybe I don't enjoy seeing other trans men/trans folks misgender me or be subtly transphobic towards me. plus the website felt extremely alienating as a black guy, especially after the ban wave towards black users awhile ago. shit site

idk as much as I did enjoy posting there, the way how people were transphobic to me/trans men in general, ableist, purity testing, harassing others, transmisogyny towards transfem posters it was way too much.
