it’s kind of funny that all the globe can come up with is some whiny right-wing opinion that’s not even novel at this point. if you’re going to try to shit on bluesky, at least try a little harder.

Let's talk about how to report on right-wingers without amplifying their hateful rhetoric. Far-right extremists count on YOU to spread their messages for them. Here's a thread of resources.

it’s pretty funny watching the right, who thrive online off of hate and “triggering the libs”, migrate here because people are abandoning twitter
the online right can’t exist without people to antagonize

Help plant here earlier in the year. We're trying to convert this old factory into a community building. One step was building this walkway with a bunch of native plants. It also doubles as method to absorb lots of water.
