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.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

If I ever traveled to a place full of small thieving monkeys I would simply strip naked and join their gang, I tell you what.

My monkey fellows would be like "damn, look at how big this new monkey is. We have a veritable goddamn barbarian. Now we are unstoppable"

we out here

It is a moon lit night in a narrow valley of a high mountain spooky terrain. The moon has a halo that makes it look twice its own size, and is only barely covered by slightly wispy clouds. The mountains in the distance are blueish white from the splash of the moons haunted hues, but in between the walls of darker rock that crowd in to the foreground, two-robed creatures that are likely men stand lit by a torch that one of them holds like a holy relic. Their hoods are pointed and drawn up over their heads, but we can see the whites of their long impressive beards that make them look like wizards, though perhaps they are merely otherworldly cultists. Their faces are in shadow and they are hunched suspiciously, as if they are up to some dark mischief and their hands are raised in a way that you cannot tell if they are conversing, about to exchange items, or casting some spell.

I don't think Jay and her band of God's lost bets understand the degree to which everyone not currently on Bluesky has already decided it's the Faggy App for Trans Commies. They aren't going to come here just because you run us off! We're all that's keeping you from being Spoutible.

i love the domino effect of trans people asking the moderation team to take harassment of trans people seriously and instead decided to perma ban a black guy who was one of the earliest users here

it is genuinely shocking how much rage @jay.bsky.team and the devs seem to have for their user base. suspending Erin Biba over an old post just because she’s been criticizing you is deeply fucked up. fix this shit.
