Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 46mPreaching to the choir here, but the site is still owned by a nazi and still platforms nazis. I can't imagine what wonderful, magical things it could possibly offer to negate that. But also, a quick peak at Twitter today confirms that the core reason I left is still very much true: 010
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 50mIf some want to argue that that's necessary for being at the forefront of developing tech then I guess okay, but I don't even understand why that would be necessary for a microblogging site. Just reads like babble. I'm just hear to talk to, and listen to, people who add value to my online world. 010
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 57mWhat does "moving faster" mean in this context and how is it a good thing? I think people are judging social media sites on some weird criteria that isn't actually relevant to the average user. 110
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 2hI can't recall consciously paying attention to the gender of an author, ever. But women are used to reading books by men, about men, just like in every other media. We live in a world where "man" is considered the default; if we were turned away by that we'd have barely any options left. 010
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 17hNew #linocut project featuring a California condor. I'd wanted to do a condor for awhile but it took me awhile to land on exactly what I wanted to do. 161
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 21hI'm all for calling attention to her crimes, and I'm also reluctantly in favour of things that prevent him from gaining more power in the future, but the framing of this as "oh no, she's hurting Gavin" (that I've seen from multiple people) is just obnoxious on multiple levels. 110
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 21hAlso there's something about the "this bitch is dragging him down" discourse that just feels like veiled misogyny. I'm not defending her because she sucks, but the man has spent years proudly showing off what an opportunistic, inhuman shitbag he is. 120
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 21hI can't decide if I'm glad for anything that makes Newsom less appealing, or annoyed that he can have an endless trackrecord of being a soulless ghoul, but his wife being also shitty is suddenly a bridge too far. They're both shit! They've always been shit! 130
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 12/10/2026This is such a pet peeve of mine, because a lot of the time people will get indignant when you ask for a warning or if you mute it, insisting that everyone has a moral obligation to "bear witness" in order to be informed. I'm sorry, I do not need to see horrific or upsetting shit to be aware of it. 010
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 11/10/2026I always wonder how the big trucks manage those in the rain without getting stuck. 020
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 11/10/2026I love her ball gown, very pretty, all the boys will want to dance with her 020
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 11/10/2026This is good news and not to shit on it, but like... now do adults? 030
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Great piece! As someone who reads almost exclusively nonfiction (and, more specifically, prefers to -purchase- it for particular topics that I know I will reference or reread later), I had a lot of thoughts winding through this! 000
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I imagine it doesn't burn for long, but I don't know. But I hadn't heard of these and was just reading about them now! 120
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Even though The Marshall Project is publishing within a bleak and deeply heavy focus, they very consistently put out articles that give me feelings in a positive way. I still regularly think about the article they did a few years ago on a death row D&D group and the connection that gave them. 050
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Looks like these release methane so flammable even if they aren't like real volcanos. 140

Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 09/10/2026and the rest are not secretive about it. Those are the only two options. 020
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 09/10/2026but again, sea level peninsula, probably a bad idea! even not in the face of climate change, but especially with! 020
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 09/10/2026It was pretty bad in the 90s El Nino (idr years) probably closer to what we're seeing now, but it's been a very long time. 140
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I also highly endorse the Workers Circle for Yiddish. I couldn't afford to take more, but the one I took was very good, and I would definitely go back to them if I ever had the funds. 030
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 09/10/2026The peninsula is prone to flooding but I haven't seen it that bad in decades. My grandparents had a house there when I was growing up (bought when normal people could afford that) and I admit I miss it and wish it was still in the family, but putting houses there seems like such a terrible idea. 0110
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Me, realising I can use two kinds of fabrics that compliment each other: You're so good at this, tziva, good job. Everyone else: I meticulously placed thousands of buttons, gems, and trim to recreate an entire Van Gough painting on a gown. 190
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 09/10/2026farming already seems like an exhausting level of work without factoring in a bunch of weird fence-based social drama sorry about her special cow genes getting polluted i guess 1210
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 09/10/2026My stomach has been fucked up all week. So I thought, you know what I should eat for dinner: a bunch of pickles. That'll solve it. [it did not solve it] 010
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 09/10/2026If I saw my name on that list, I think I would immediately throw my computer out the window. 130
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 09/10/2026no, having seen this amazing screenshot i can conclusively state the other way was wrong 030
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I did sell some dresses for funds that were like burlap covered with thousands of brooches in order to make money, but this is a way more fun use of accessories. 2460
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I finished the game but this screenshot made me realise I played it completely the wrong way, and I'm filled with regret. 41800
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Really excited! Between the demo and the play test I put in about 30 hours, just replying those first two chapters. Really looking forward to the full game. 120
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 07/10/2026oh man, two bucks? I had wishlisted the physical but that's a crazy steal 110
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Thinking about the lady who once came up to me at my Bird of Prey labeled table, looked at the real, living 🪶peregrine falcon🪶 on my fist and said in a very disappointed tone, "oh, that isn't the plant. I misread your sign as 'birds of paradise'" and then walked away. 070
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 07/10/2026If I knew that money I gave someone would be used to buy fuel for a puppy crushing machine, most people would intuitively understand my choice not to fund them, without a debate about whether it is futile because the puppy murderer has other sources of money. Now, think: that but humans not puppies 030
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Went out front to clean my birdbaths in the short window between Hot As The Sun™ and darkness and scared off an adult Cooper🪶. When I finished up, I went to the backyard, and scared of the little juvenile male that's been visiting. I am just the enemy of hawks today! said juv. earlier today: 060
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 07/10/2026The handsomest! Not the brightest, but definitely the handsomest. 080
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I'm so sorry! It's so hard to lose any bird, but especially if it's one you've built a close attachment to. We lost two of our ambassador birds this year and we have several more getting up there in age, I just really dread when the time comes. It's so heartbreaking, even when you know its time. 010
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 06/10/2026im glad to have lived my life in a way where i'm not compelled to obligatory fantasy football since i didn't even know that was a situation one could end up in 0130
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I really wanted to be there today for the final walk to the Metropolitan Detention Center in DTLA, but I had to miss it because I had work. And if missing it wasn't disappointing enough, turns out that Ozomatli played to welcome the walkers into DTLA! They are my absolute fav. 000
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 06/10/2026This is my fav behaviour from them, how they carefully pick up to weight and evaluate each one to carefully select the "best" one.... .... then they jam it into the planter to cache, and repeat until they're all gone. Meanwhile, crows are like "yes please" and just grab as much as they can carry. 030
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I don't need this, I don't have space for this, I can't afford shipping and I live on the other side of the country, but I can't get the gremlin in my head who desperately wants this to shut up. 0120
Tziva @tziva.bsky.social · 06/10/2026It's a long segment, but this video is good. One day, this will end, and it will end because people -- regular people like you and me -- made it end. I don't know when that will be, and I hope it will be sooner rather than later, but we WILL win.youtu.beFaith leaders make HISTORIC 96-mile pilgrimage to protest ‘EXTREME CONDITIONS’ in ICE detentionYouTube video by MS NOW 110
