So, as a trans creator and puzzle designer, I thought I could offer them a fun (and guilt-free!) alternative. It's a fun side project, so I'm building it slowly in my spare time. There may be bugs - please tell me if there are! In time, it will grow and improve. (And it's already quite fun to play!)

Story time! My friends wanted an alternative to the NYT Games app after its games were paywalled last month. It's not just about the money - on principle, it doesn't feel right supporting a newspaper that's been critiqued for its inaccurate and harmful coverage of transgender issues. #NYTGames

If I'm in a good headspace, I don't always mind knowing that people have tripped up over my gender presentation. I am non-binary after all. And "???" feels much better than "man".

I confused some local drunks tonight. Overheard part of their conversation. "Is that a man or a woman?" "Well I don't fucking know, I haven't asked them have I?" Anyway - I decided to speed up and stay out of their way rather than slow down for a chat!

What's really funny is, there are Discover and Popular With Friends tabs here in Bluesky and I basically never use them, opting for the Following tab that I curated instead. (So, what do I actually want in a platform? Who knows!) 🤷‍♀️

Luna Davies @veradisluna.bsky.social · 03/08/2025

I guess, ultimately, if you want your users to benefit from discoverability, then you have to decide what content you want them to be able to discover and on what basis that happens.

On the other hand - they might throttle a post for even mentioning Bluesky. I don't like how algorithms are basically "black boxes". And I don't like that, anecdotally, hate and negative content performs better than content which is more optimistic and positive.

Luna Davies @veradisluna.bsky.social · 03/08/2025

But. The discoverability of Threads is actually really nice. With very little effort on your part, people that are likely to be interested in your posts will probably see them.

Luna Davies @veradisluna.bsky.social · 03/08/2025

I prefer, in principle, the idea of an ecosystem "without an algorithm" - you build your own social network and even your own feeds, and you decide what's important to you. This idea is especially attractive given how anti-LGBT some platforms and algorithms are alleged to be.

OMG this is unreal. (It’s real). Labour: the SC ruling about trans people is settled, there’s nothing we can do about it, we’ll do whatever the EHRC says. Also Labour: the SC ruling about fining wealthy finance companies is not settled, we’ll do everything we can to intervene to protect the rich.

So Labour is considering overruling the Supreme Court to protect car loan companies but not to protect trans people’s human rights. Starmer WANTS to harm trans people, the Supreme Court misjudgment is just a fig-leaf for his transphobia.

Rachel Reeves mulls stepping in to save car loan providers billions
Exclusive: Chancellor could overrule supreme court if it upholds entirety of ruling over commission paid to brokers

The chancellor, Rachel Reeves, is considering overruling the supreme court over a £44bn car loan commission scandal after lobbying by some of the UK's biggest lenders, the Guardian can reveal.
Under Treasury contingency plans being discussed for the event that justices decide to uphold the entirety of last October's shock appeal court ruling that customers may be entitled to billions in
compensation, the government would retrospectively change the law to cut liabilities for lenders.
