I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

whenever i encounter people who say they can't understand shakespeare verses I always send them this clip from the 2019 Shakespeare in the Park production of Much Ado About Nothing

I'm not going to argue about who is the best lyricist. I am going to say that Hayley Williams whose career trajectory is very similar to the person who kicked off this discussion released a song this summer with these lyrics

source, inb4 anyone demands it: i’m from the area

don’t visit reading. the vibes are rancid

like even if she never became a billionaire pop star, she’s still from the wealthy and white side of reading. any lyrics over the course of her career where she positions herself as the broke kid from a po-dunk town are a lie.

it’s not just this album, all of has been vapid bullshit.

reading has improved very marginally but it is still very much racially segregated along with a significant class divide. awful place

i am gonna say it again: if you know anything about the town taylor grew up in, you know that she has never had to struggle in her life, never had to face the darkness. her nonwhite and poor neighbors on the other hand have

it is (white) privilege all the way down with her

This. I decided a few years ago that a lot of art produced by absurdly rich ppl doesn’t do it for me anymore. I’m not saying it’s all bad. I’m saying I’m not attached to or invested in it. I don’t care what their commentary is because it’s so divorced from my everyday life. Rax says it better here

The COO of bluesky, Rose, is following the heritage foundation account on bluesky.

i don’t speak computer and i understood every bit of this thread about the protocol.

comms!

Rudy talks about the work going on to remediate some of this foolishness; grateful for the work, and it sucks that the Blacksky team has to change it's timetables because of other folks' foolishness. Put some money on their books and help us get a little bit freer

this is legit way worse than anyone has let on. all of you have been burying the lede

what is this 💀

Hear ye hear ye a message of hope and inspiration from our courageous leader in exile, Link. May all his loyal followers take heart!

like atp i wanna be banned bc it would demonstrate that they’re at least trying to enforce tos consistently

i really don’t get what’s going on here as i’ve said worse directly to bsky staff incl. jay and i’m not banned. only conclusion i can make is that this is targeted and i haven’t caught their attention yet for whatever reason

read my previous posts, asshole. i am leaving here too. i am willing to go internet homeless.

seriously, it takes two seconds to check someone’s profile before making such awful assumptions.

okay well, now that i think about it a kid stepping back to focus on school actually shows some maturity and responsibility…point still stands tho

mastodon is like high potential for thousands of lowtaxes. i have also heard horror stories of instances shutting down because they were being run by literal children who called it quits because they had to focus on applying to college. no thanks lmao

these techbro piece of shit already got me on linux and back on tumblr. would rather tar and feather myself than join a mastodon instance. that’s my line in the sand.

oh sick. okay lmao

i don’t think i do. i’m dinosprout on there if you wanna send a friend rq, or you can dm me your username. i think i have dms open
