This is how I imagine JK Rowling when she posts.

JK Rowling says "ha ha.. h-heh. I won! I won!" She sits alone in the dark, bathed in the late of her computer screen. We pull back to see her in a large dark empty room. She continues "I won." Seeing the full scope of her cavernous workplace, she appears small and alone. She says, once again, "I won..."

Separate the artist from the art is about not treating the artists' explanation as somehow sacrosanct or the final word, to avoid treating it as strictly autobiographical, or at most politically its meant to recognize the contribution of long-dead artists whose work has shaped other cultural works

The actual post is still available in the repo. Normally, when a post is deleted, it's removed outright with no way to get it back. pdsls.dev/at://did:plc...

It doesn't appear in the timeline feed or the post thread API. They may be actively blocking it in the most stupid way possible, lol.

People keep replying to the articles about the ICE-spotting app removals with other tech solutions, when the article includes comment from a long running immigration support group who says use a hotline. Funny disconnect between online and people on the ground www.404media.co/google-calls...

Brandon Lee, communications lead at Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, told 404 Media some of the organization’s teams have used Red Dot and similar apps as a way of taking tips. But the organization recommends people call its hotline to report ICE activity. That hotline has been around since 2011, Lee said. “The thing that takes time is the infrastructure of trust and training that goes into follow-up, confirmation, and legal and community support for impacted families, which we in Illinois have been building up over time,” he added.
“But I will say that at the end of the day it's important for all people of conscience to use their skills to shine some light on ICE's operations, given the agency's lack of transparency and overall lack of accountability,” he said, referring to ICE-spotting apps.

I will start posting a screenshot of each of these as a monument to the hateful legacy of this site in the midst of a genocide, wherein you will see "Post deleted" at some point where a person of dignity in a true hell on earth simply asked for a chance to live and eat.
