Has anyone made a component library of blue sky compatible & customizable react / native components that can make it easier to make third party apps? If not, that could make AtProto development a lot more approachable 1/2

When someone asks why I keep working on the open social web when normal users don't care about protocols
![An image from the 2021 movie Dune.
- The image shows a person (specifically, the Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam, played by Charlotte Rampling) with a net-like veil over their face.
- An overlaid caption reads: [Our plans are measured in centuries], a quote from the character in the film.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xgvzy7ni6ig6ievcbls5jaxe/bafkreiexwkrww2tt4ww6rlgs2q3drqfvhbv5zqqtlftiw6jv543jxyekw4@jpeg)

My teen, who had dreamt of being an astrophysicist, just told me he wants to go to law school because, “Science isn’t going to be a priority in the US in the future…I don’t want a job where I’ll be constantly worried my funding will be taken away.”
Gutting. How many future scientists have we lost?

The harm isn't just from the gross disinformation itself, but also resulting erosion of trust in federal science and guidance.
Rebuilding the latter will take far longer than correcting the former.

It appears that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has, within the past week, scrubbed a large amount of climate change content from its official website, as well as *removed human-caused warming* from the discussion on its "causes of climate change" page.

@handsoffnyc.bsky.social is training thousands of New Yorkers on how to protect their neighbors from ICE. Today, they are currently running two trainings in Brooklyn and the Bronx, both of which hit capacity because interest was so high.
This is the way, y’all—we protect each other, and we know it.

Most young people are worried, as they should be, about the impact that AI will have on their lives and their ability to earn a decent living.
Our job is not complicated. We must make certain that AI and robotics improve life for all, and not just make billionaires even richer.

When you use ATProto you can go full cyberpunk.
I've had this idea for a while, but what if you built a desktop UI on top of atproto data... and what if that UI looked cyberpunk AF?
Here's a first look at Aether OS, a desktop-like interface with system and lexicon apps powered by your data.

The word "remigration" is xenophobic and christofascist AF. It's a racist expression of ethnic cleansing and hate. Do not let it become normalized.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Climate breakdown is driven by a storm of lies. This lying is systemic, funded and coordinated, and operates across almost all media, old and new.
This week's column argues that we cannot fight the climate crisis without also fighting the epistemic crisis.
