This shit is scary and there's a reason why we're protesting against the internet censorship and the laws where you have to present your real life ID to access sites.

The optics, as usual, are bad

I love the arts

There is beauty in ugly honesty

I love this album ❤️❤️❤️

Happy birthday to me

So much has been happening the last few weeks. No one even remembers my winning the novel prize
What a shame.

This is fucking beautiful. I have been working on my eco sci-fi series and this just inspired me. Annihilation is needing a revisit as well. Love the colors and vibrance of this artwork...it makes me want to get back into eco fic worlds.

I just think that people should know what they're in for if they sign up

My employer New York Public Radio just announced that it is offering @onthemedia.bsky.social, @radiolab.bsky.social, and other programs to at-risk public radio stations for free! More info: current.org/2025/09/wnyc...

All Art is derivative of what came before it. I needed to learn Shakespeare to surpass Shakespeare.

Inventing oral history, books, internet, arts, stories, passed on accumulations of lived experiences, wisdoms, & Species-wide knowledge, is what makes us fundamentally sentient over other animals.

Beautiful

She “said that she tried to tell the agents that her baby was due w/in days. 'OK, your baby is going to be born here, but you're from Mexico, right?' they responded. 'I was born here,' López Alvarado later told Spanish-language media. 'I was born in Los Angeles; I was born in Hollywood Hospital.'"

Also I forgot they teased chemistry between Storm and Angel, and I got to say...it works. It reminds me oddly of her attraction to Black Panther and Wolverine. She admires people with the courage to embrace themselves.

It seems like a particularly good time to rewatch some X-Men media. In times a week face oppressive systems of control looking to the fantasy world can help give us ideas, share ideas, and affirm what we know to be right.

Recommended watch: Wolverine and the X-Men

I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves!

Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship

Silence is compliance!

srsly tho, Bluesky's new ToS is a slippery slope for what's gonna be considered "too explicit" in the near future.
The reason many artists even came to this platform was for the freedom of expression in their art that sites like Tumblr took away from them.

Idk man, I'm just tired.
