Farewell, Dallas.
Goodbye, Texas.

I wish you had loved me the way I loved you.

A night time vista of the Dallas skyline and the Trinity River bottoms. The lights of the skyline are bright, along with a gibbous moon on far right near the horizon. The bottoms are barely visible but some moonlit water can be seen.

Taken from the Hampton St. Bridge in West Dallas.

I would love for more people to understand the social gradient in health, the role of autonomy in cardiovascular health, and how diseases do, in fact, discriminate.

Young furries, do not buy this repulsive slop

Support actual furry artists if you want silly furry merch, they're out there and they're happy to oblige, and you won't be feeding a machine looking to capitalize on your subculture

Corporate shitposting needed to be smothered in the crib, istg

Between this and the Spirit Halloween masks, it's amusing but also the nightmare of furry going mainstream. 💀

I mean there's no proof the current crop of democrats wouldn't have sold out the US for foreign oil money but jfc

Don't mind me I'm just choking on 2000s Islamophobic predictions that anti-war liberals and democrats were going hand the US over to a "sharia law caliphate". All that Barack Hussein Obama secret Muslim conspiracy shit pre-MAGA.

hahahaha of course it was all projection jfc

to the "still don't understand shakespeare" replies :

- no harm in reading the script for clarity

- remember, it's english, they're speaking the same words as you

- the bard wrote plays for the common illiterate working drunks. if they can get it, so can you. it's meant for you, not posh elites.

Who Link was here & how he formed site culture, insisting on alt text & accessibility & disability justice, insisting on standing with trans people, mutual aid, irreverent shitposting, shows exactly that this culture of early bluesky that forged the platform is the opposite of what the team wants.

Let me get this straight: Link, a Black user, got banned for calling out the Bluesky CEO for following a racist. That’s not a good look, especially given Bluesky’s historical treatment of Black users here on bluesky.

Today is World Homeless Day, and after years reporting on this crisis, I'll just say: homelessness is neither inevitable nor intractable. It's the result of choices—political, economic, moral—that can be unmade.

And this: how we treat the unhoused is a bellwether for the violence we will tolerate.

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.

This post, by @nicomaramckay.com, gives a fuller history of just how terribly Bluesky has handled moderation since the beginning and how users have reacted:

"Bluesky’s moderation is not neutral; it is selective."

every trans girl just starting out her transition deserves a gang of cis friends ready to treat her like one of the girls immediately irrespective of what she looks like and help her figure out girl stuff without being patronizing. i'm forever so grateful to everyone who filled this role for me

Another example of it doesn't have to be this way and isn't in other democracies.

Other countries don't shut the government down. They keep operating under the previous funding until deals are reached. Here they just close down the parts that will help the people and keep the parts that serve power.

Oh *that* girl

12th is Stupid, Unserious @twelfth.bsky.social · 1d

Not bc I felt I had some right to be distinct & unique and only I could look like me. I just hated seeing myself. It made me viscerally uncomfortable.

Maybe if I had known what "dysphoria" was, I might have figured things out then. Idk if i could have done something about it.

I'd have known though

12th is Stupid, Unserious @twelfth.bsky.social · 1d

I hated him bc he looked like me. I hated seeing his face. I hated talking to him bc it was like looking in a mirror (sorta). He had never done me wrong but I did not like being around him. I admit this is a weird thing for someone to feel for a stranger.

It wasn't bc I felt he made me less unique
