Alright readers of Bluesky—can you think of a short story or novel with a matrilineal family structure in which mothers can take many lovers and all children are considered legitimate? I swear I encountered this somewhere but can’t recall, possibly an Afrofuturist or fantasy story.

I just spent 2 hrs waiting to give testimony to the Seattle city council against expanded surveillance. There were about 120 people signed up to comment, who unanimously spoke against this. & now I'm listening to Robert Kettle disregard all the data and personal testimony. F*** this council.

Texas Republicans are holding a Black woman, a Democratic state rep, hostage in the legislative chamber. They have locked the doors and have banned her from leaving.
“‘I refuse to sign away my dignity as a duly elected representative just so Republicans can control my movements and monitor me with police escorts,’ Collier said in a statement that called her a ‘political prisoner’ for refusing Republican ‘surveillance protocol.’” www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Very concerned about this bc @startplaying.bsky.social uses stripe and we host hundreds if not thousands of games with queers in them or running them in the site
More and more people reporting today that Stripe - the payment processor that Itch said were putting the most pressure on them - now have staff actively confirming that yes, they are censoring LGBT content, adult or otherwise. That this is official company policy.
This seems kinda significant.
