Yes! It's surreal.

I can't be the only one who feels more than slightly insane engaging in the daily routine of trying to reconcile what's happening in the US with all the ways we're just going about our days pretending it's not as bad as it actually is.

There's a small clique on Bluesky who seem to think the AT protocol is the important thing.

The tech is never the important thing and most of your user base will (rightly) never give a damn about it.

You are not the customer.

I feel like I would have that reaction to Felicity or Dawson's Creek if I tried to do a rewatch now. Our collective tolerance for annoying in the late 90s/early aughts was a LOT higher.

If you watch only one thing today, let it be this. Watch the entire special on Netflix if you can, but have the tissues ready.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Please use your voice. Never allow them to pretend this is normal. Never allow them to lie about who they are kidnapping. They took down my license plate, they blocked our cars. They try to intimidate...

This is the crux of why decentralization will never be the answer to what ails social media. The behavior people resort to when they're tired of not feeling safe is considered more egregious than the actions of those who made them feel that way.

Harassing the mods into banning someone has never worked. And harassing people in general has never changed their mind.

Thank you to Ta-Nehisi Coates for reminding me that not only do I need to stay in the conversation, but I need to be louder.
