Lemme add that nobody cares about your White Guilt. It’s SUPREMELY unhelpful and no one rational wants you to feel guilt over something as uncontrollable as the circumstances of your own birth. You’re doing a disservice to your heritage and your heritage isn’t JUST a violent legacy 🧵 1/17

Bsky: We don't need to sitewide ban fascist bad actors who work tirelessly to vilify & eliminate from the face of the Earth most of our core posters 😜 our content moderation tools are robust and many 😜 moderate yourselves 😜 put that in your waffle maker

Also bsky: We have permanently banned Link 😇

Unfortunate update: Link reached out to BlueSky and got email back now on reason.

His appeal is denied. He will remain permanently banned on BlueSky’s side.

Here are the screenshots he just sent me as of 8:22 AM EST(my time)

A screenshot of an email from the Bluesky Moderation Team with the subject line “Bluesky Account Behavior” sent at 22:15. The email states that a Bluesky account controlled by the recipient, with the handle @spacelawshitpost.me, posted a reply with an image where the alt text reads: Charlie Kirk sitting in a white T-shirt that says “Freedom.” A negative consequence follows. The email indicates this post violates Community Guidelines regarding violent or threatening speech, specifically listing threats of violence or physical harm against individuals, groups, institutions, or the general public, and incitement of self-harm or suicide.

A screenshot of an email continuation from the Bluesky Moderation Team displaying a bulleted list of Community Guidelines violations. The first bullet point describes threats of violence or physical harm as including threats or encouragement of violence against individuals, groups, institutions, or the general public. The second bullet point defines incitement of self-harm or suicide as content that encourages self-harm or suicide. The third bullet point explains wishes of harm as expressions of a desire for harm directed at a specific person or group. Below the bullets, a paragraph states that users may not use Bluesky to break the law or cause harm to others and that all users must be treated with respect. The next paragraph informs the recipient that as a result of these violations, your account has been taken down. A closing paragraph thanks the user for doing their part to keep Bluesky a welcoming and empowering place for all users and instructs them to email moderation@blueskyweb.xyz if they have questions or wish to appeal the decision. The email ends with the signature Bluesky Moderation Team.

A screenshot of an email from the Bluesky Moderation Team sent at 08:11 with the subject line Re: Bluesky Account Behavior addressed To: Hide My Email. The email reads:

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out to appeal the takedown of your account on Bluesky. We have carefully reviewed your case, including the information you provided and the activity that led to the suspension of your account.

After investigating, we have determined that your account activity was in violation of our community guidelines, specifically promoting hateful content or being disruptive to other users. We take these guidelines seriously to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all our users.

As a result, we regret to inform you that your appeal has been denied, and your account will remain suspended. This decision is final and cannot be reversed. We understand that this may be disappointing news, but we must prioritize the well-being of our community and maintain a consistent enforcement of our policies. We encourage you to review our community guidelines to better understand the expectations we have for user behavior on our platform. Please do not create new accounts, since those will be taken down for ban evasion.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

It’s not just that this does not matter (it does not matter). Everyone with sense knows what those words mean. It’s that this is not 2019. There are no stakes on this website. The political economy of outrage has so moved on that it’s in a different universe.

Someday, we're gonna find out that the decisionmaking went like this:

Mamdani proposes city-run grocery stores. Conservatives say it'll never work. Mamdani supporters point out that DOD runs a bunch of grocery stores. Hegseth decides to close them to own the libs.

Yeah; I just always feel—idk “better” isn’t the right word at all but—comfortable? When I’m not compelled to bleed sorrow (justified or not) so openly. But I’m doin it anyway bc the alternative is journaling in a way my therapist wouldn’t approve of 😂

I’m nothing if not dedicated to maintaining a sense of whimsy in the face of the unending horrors

It’s just hard to feel it atm w my Hell Brain so loud and nothing to really do abt it but ride it out and try to avoid triggering myself into smth worse. Esp w all the crying 🙃

Prolly better to not complain in a public forum too but almost nobody I know irl follows me here I don’t think and those that do are either never on or don’t interact and I tend to be a LOT crueler to myself when confining this type of journaling to my own eyes—deserved or not. I’m still trying, ig

I guess if the options are awake & mired in anguish w varying flavours of both valid and not valid self-loathing that all FEELS equally valid (and Very Important bc why not be self centred too I guess) and not that but the trade off is someone else having to deal w my symptoms, it’s better to cope

She’s still a lil sick and me screaming her awake isn’t ideal either. She hasn’t had that happen in a while but idk if that’s bc the amount of night terrors are currently at a lull or if I just don’t sleep enough to fully get into them bad enough my body is doing stuff w/o me

With your Hell Brain actively screaming at you makes being unconscious for 20+ hours instead sound way more appealing. At least if I’m having night terrors or nightmares I don’t always remember them, I just wake up with that Feeling™ but then since Gf A is off today, even if I were coma depressive,

So hard in therapy to be able to cry legit and now I’m being punished w impending salt buildup on my contacts or having to wear my glasses and get glasses migraine? Fucked up depression options 0/10. I guess sleep all the time depression isn’t exactly BETTER but I feel like spending 20+ hours a day

Who the fuck let me have insomnia depression and not coma depression? Put me back to sleep; the combo crushing weight of my own tenebrious existence, Everything™ going on in the world, and a selfish fixation on my own failings should be able to be slept through at least a little. Like damn I worked

Zitkala Nuni was found by Red Cloud's band 4 days after her mother had been murdered at Wounded Knee.
Lying and disguising himself as half Seneca, General LW Colby- a perpetuator of that massacre, went to Red Cloud's camp and forced them to give him Zitkala Nuni- who'd already been taken in by clan.

Their ignorance is more comfortable than reality and they’re quite literally willing to burn everything down and take everyone out with them to keep it

What do you do in the face of that? What can you say to a person who needs to debate the validity of your existence before they can hear you?

Unfriendly Black²feet Óṫ’’k̇oaṗi•siak̇īī @pandabbadon.bsky.social · 9d

Infinitely more of this and the ability to enact harm reduction essentially goes out the window

And it’s so mfn frustrating bc it’s genuinely their own lack of intellectual curiosity and their own clinging to participation in hierarchal bigotry that’s stymying meaningful change

Only, the goat’s stomach issues are everyone’s problem, not just the goat and it’s always a mess the goat avoids cleaning. Bc it’s a mfn goat

Not saying we should all collectively stop trying to get these mfrs to quit eating trash bc THAT road just leads to

Those hands is like trying to get a goat to quit eating indigestible trash with persuasive arguments alone. It ain’t gonna work bc it needs the full participation of the goat and the goat isn’t interested in not eating trash. It likes the texture and the taste and how dare you try to
