I AM THE ANTIFA TERRORIST

Once it gets cold, after a really intense practice sound absolutely delightful.

DOOOO ITTTTT

Solid! I need to go back there.

Made some tofu fried rice!

So, hey, if anyone wants to send me three thousand fucking dollars, I'll pay you back. I've never missed a payment.

Well, I've been convinced to follow your progress! Looks cool, especially if your email mailing turns out to be straightforward once you get that going. Best of luck!

Next week, I'm gonna figure out how the hell we fucked up Ghost so it can't fucking send emails, and start writing again.

Hopefully. Maybe.

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.

From a long and glorious tradition of making authoritarians feel weird and awkward by being silly at their authority.

Tish James is who you go after once you've forced all judges in the country to swear loyalty oaths to the Fuhrer. Instead, they're trying for a jury trial, and sending her up against incompetent, cargo cult fascist feds.

This is just sad.

There's a bunch of folks posting their favorites of the last 5 years here, and that's a hell of a lot of variety. Anyone bored by recent music isn't looking.

OK, sold.

I said this to my non-anime watching friend as a joke and my husband actually edited it into the format, so here is my hot take on anime.

Oligarchs as ministers without portfolio, used to be a sign of insane corruption, now just how the American government works! Thanks, John Roberts!

If anyone bothers to get this far, here's the podcast I mentioned:

@rude1.blacksky.team and the BlackSky team are building tools to make more of our online experience controlled by the communities we make, and that's the way forward if we want to make lasting change and foster positive change for those we connect with. Check out BlackSky, it's pretty cool. /fin

Also, in your ghost towns video this week, you pointed out that the Internet makes ephemeral communities...and this is also solved by interconnectivity and network independence. Ex: BlueSky is close to making it so communities can spin off an instance with a little tech experience. /4

If you have interconnected communities that have a more personal say in norms, where TALKING about behavior and having a conversation of what is/isn't cool happens, that's a way for the discussion to be shaped in a way that makes civil interactions the norm that much faster. /3

An important part that resonated with me on today's Dear Hank and John is that the path to improving the social Internet means making antisocial behavior...cringe. Part of that is the slow work of education and time, but part of that can be empowering community moderation to enforce social norms. /2

@hankgreen.bsky.social in regards to how social media's kind of bad for us (latest Dear Hank and John, the Pizzamas videos last week), there's at least a partial solution in interconnected communities that aren't platform dependent? Folks are working on that here, and it's pretty cool. /1
