The reason I'm thinking about my current workflow.

I know that in the past I would've finished this one in just another day but I was looking at it and just decided that I wanted to keep working on it for another week

but i will be posting my things wherever i have an account (including here!) until they shut the lights off. like a weird little plant with its roots dipping into too many pots, i will be an unescapable multi-headed presence...

i'm getting the feeling i won't be super personable anywhere online going forward - unless i retool my website to allow for a blog. for one thing, on a pragmatic level, every platform's too volatile to invest that much of your personality into. for another, it's probably really bad for you lmao

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth

You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

watched rouge (stanley kwan, 1987)

fleur from the film rouge silhouetted in white. she's clutching the rouge case chen chen-pang gifted her. her lips and the rouge case are both red. the background behind is red and filled with butterflies evocative of the ones on her dress

PANEL 1: A duck and a rat are walking the compost to the compost bin. DUCK: "Am I aloof and judgmental as an adult because that is how the world felt to me as a child?"
PANEL 2: RAT: "What is adulthood but the mimicking of the adults you were around as a child?"
PANEL 3: DUCK: "Yeah, and if that behavior is abusive and paranoid, then you will feel more mature the closer you come to being that, the more you act as an 'adult' does."
PANEL 4: The rat has now opened the bin and is preparing to drop in the paper bag of compost. RAT: "Your efforts, then, to not be like that--to change from that--seem childish. You're too innocent. You'll see."
PANEL 5: DUCK: "That's why they love to diagnose you as selfish. It's how you scold a child."

it is not a decentralized platform. it was not designed to be a decentralized platform. it will likely never be a decentralized platform. it is consistently failing to live up to its promises or to its competitors

jam @jamspoon.net · 9d

it has consistently failed to provide fair and balanced moderation to its marginalized users. it has consistently weaponized its moderation AGAINST said users. it is consistently trying to tighten the bounds of what its users are permitted to say and do

the value proposition for Users was that bsky would operate as an alternative to twitter. the prop for tech savvy dorks was that it'd be decentralized but far easier for people to adopt than mastodon. it is now falling into the same trap as the former and is nowhere near the latter

"you can build your own atproto applications" ok great? who wants to!

"atproto is moving over to the ietf or whatever" so? what is so special about atproto anyway? it's not better than activitypub, it doesn't do anything different
