Being #OpenToWork in 2025 means targetted ads like this. Appreciate the humor I guess, but not exactly instilling optimism.

Posted this recently to my FB feed. It's by no means meant as a defense of Zuck. But I haven't stuck around there this long because if him. I will continue to grow my presence here on bsky, but so far, it's no replacement for what I've built on FB. Just my $.02 (full text in alt text)

$Seeing a lot of talk of leaving this place in light of their latest policy changes to drop fact checking and loosen restrictions on hate speech and other harmful content. Dropping the bird was easy for me--I never really embraced that platform, and had little invested in it. But this space is different. I was on the early side of adopters. My earliest posts here will be old enough to vote this summer! I have so many thoughts, photos, memories and connections that are intertwined with this place. So many fleeting friendships made that have been able to continue and in some cases flourish because of the interactions here. And it is a major aggregator for me of not just news of what's happening in the world, but more specifically, things and events going on in the niche worlds that I'm personally interested in. Music, arts, sports... So many opportunities and things that I've experienced I would not have even known about if not for this place. And let's not forget how critical this place is to the success of many small businesses and organizations that are trying to make our real life communities a better place for us all. For all it's many, many warts, this space has on the whole, been a net positive in my personal life and I don't think it's close, although i acknowledge that balancing that against the overall detriment it's had to society is difficult to measure. So I'm not sure what the future holds. I would like to believe that the value of any online community like this is in its members. Their thoughts, their connections. Theoretically, you could then move the community to another platform and continue unbroken, but the reality is that it's a fragile thing. Communities will be fractured, missing pieces that didn't make the jump. And the collective history intertwined with the platform will be lost. I guess my hope is that we can persevere and make this place what we want it to be despite these policy changes. Be the change you want to see, as the age o…$

Public service announcement: when a rep or senator says something, they literally have the same info you do from the same sources. We always pretended to have special knowledge, but rarely did. Keep that in mind with the drone hysteria

Look, when they said "chicks dig the long ball", I don't think this is what they meant.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election. Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

MAGA voters actually love progressive policies. They just don’t know it. This would be great for Democrats.

Tweet from Kim Schwan

Why don't we do election year like The Masked Singer?

Every politician is disguised, has to tell us their plans and debate with distorted voices.

We don't know their gender, race, or party.

Winner rips off their mask on election night and boom! New president!

Not often (esp in the fall) do the people of Ann Arbor and Columbus have much in common, but both towns were defiled with n*zi demonstrations today.

LOVE that this platform makes it easy to add alt text to images! Accessibility=equality. And as a bonus, it allows you to add a much longer caption! Click "alt" to see the alt text on any image that has it. I pledge to try to always do so on my art. #accessibility #ADACompliance #awareness #art4all
