yeah, which I'd be totally ok with! ...If the zombies were unique so it felt cool to do. I'm not sitting there while 60 identical zombies smack the same dude for a 10min turn. I'd be happier if it was capped at like 3 total summons but they could be unique.

the exact opposite of trans sky. On trans sky it's "let's see how you used to look, so we can see how much happier and hotter you are now" "you from a different era" is "lemme see your glowup"

Peaceful protests are the onboarding site. People who were either unsure or not strongly motivated might be motivated enough at least to stand outside with us a few hours. Where they will meet people with stronger convictions. It's only the first step, but an important one.

Spooky bird stories. Last year's Halloween comic.

A comic titled Spooky Bird Stories. In panel 1, a turkey vulture is telling stories to other vultures, and it says, "She walked toward the source of the terrible smell. She got closer and closer, and then, to her horror, she saw... No dead body." A black vulture says "No!" and a turkey vulture says "Did someone already eat it??"
In panel 2, a northern cardinal is telling a story to some songbirds. It says "They peered through the windows of the house at the gory scene. Zombies had smashed through the door in the night. The homeowner was dead. But worst of all... He hadn't refilled the feeders." An eastern bluebird says "Aaah!" and an American goldfinch says "It can't be!".
In panel 3, a screech owl is telling a story to other owls. It says "And then the ghost fluffed itself up really big to appear scarier." A saw-whet owl gasps, and a long-eared owl says "Horrifying!".
In panel 4, a downy woodpecker is telling a story to other woodpeckers, and says "The eerie sound rang through the dark woods. Tap-tap. Tap-tap. It was the distinctive two-part knock of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. The species had returned from the dead... FOR REVENGE." A red-cockaded woodpecker says "Yesss".

"Bluesky is boring."

Social media *should* be boring. Being algorithm and dopamine poisoned is bad, actually.

When your feed dries up for the day, that's your cue to go do something else until new stuff shows up later.

If you won't listen to the feedback of your users could you sell the platform to someone who will? Or maybe fuck off into the sun? Either option is fine.

Once again: this is also happening in DC. Still.

It feels like we’ve been forgotten, maybe because there aren’t huge confrontations to run photos of. But our neighbors are still being taken every day. Routine traffic stops are now done by 12+ feds alongside local police.

Please talk about us too.

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

You know, if they don't want to reopen a government that protects everyone's rights, we don't need them to re-open. States just stop paying federal taxes. Reroute that to local needs. Slowly refederate based on the actual needs of the people not some greedy super rich class. we all profit.
