Most ppl know that Chicago (home of modern urban segregation) is a very segregated place but I don't think most outside Chicago (+many Chicagoans!) understand how the *distances* involved and *depth* of segregation mean most white ppl have ZERO visibility into many Black and Latine neighborhoods

You've cubed in Madison.
You've cubed in New York.
You've cubed in DC.
Now it's time to cube slightly outside of Chicago.

All mtg discourse is like ten dudes in a basement 20 years ago stumbled into weird solutions to very specific problems and a good chunk of the community being too stubborn to say that the old solutions kind of suck actually. It's why comp magic gets to get away with stuff no other comp game gets to.

The ability to remove your post when a hostile account quote-tweets you is a great feature of Bluesky.
To do it, go to their quote-tweet of you, click on the three dots in the bottom right, then click “detach quote.”
It shows up as “removed by author.”

You may have noticed that folks who are from Chicago love this city. There's a reason for that. I walked to the lake with friends yesterday, and when I saw the waves rolling in, I felt something shift back into place inside of me. So many parts of this city are part of me. We will defend this place.

queer spaces are so overly racially biased it makes me upset every time.
the lack of boosting black positivity or just interacting with black art is upsetting. black art, people, and characters aren't viewed in the same desirability as white characters.

There’s a lot in here that deserves a pull quote, but this is the most egregious. I need people to recognize the gravity of the situation here in Chicago;

Can I just say … I wish the general population was as upset and outspoken about trans people being labeled as dangerous, sub-human enemies of the state as they are about the cis white male comedian getting his show taken off the air ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Bluesky moderation is absolutely out of fucking control right now just absolutely arbitrary politically motivated suspensions and bans. No explanations. No adherence to terms of service. It’s literally impossible to know what we are and aren’t allowed to say.
