The European Medicines Agency (EMA) said on Monday it would no longer post on X and would use rival Bluesky instead, becoming the latest organisation to quit a social media platform that some have criticised for its content.

Don't tell me that the billionaires running the country don't have my interests at heart. You don't know my interests. What if my interests are to eat shit and die

If you can't join one, buy from one--local or not--those dollars stay in that community longer, creating more opportunity. Give a big FU to corporate control of the supplying of our needs. #DICC #DICC-DivestInCorporateControl

@sanders.senate.gov on employee ownership. Senator Sanders has been an advocate for worker ownership for many years, and his Worker Ownership, Readiness, and Knowledge (WORK) Act passed in 2022 thanks to his tireless efforts. Thank you, Bernie! 👏💙

Buy differently. Buying from community co-ops (food/banking/insurance) & worker owned spreads the wealth locally & laterally instead of pyramidal.

I went to the DNC and I’m in DC now in a nice hotel with a bunch of inauguration enthusiasts, & while we all naturally sported our team colors & costumes, this fancy hotel is the one that smells of so much weed

lmao no, TikTok users are not moving to Bluesky. They would literally rather learn Mandarin than learn how to read a feed of text posts. This is a millennial retirement home.

Struck horror/fantasy fiction gold at the thrift store the other day
Clive Barker's The Damnation Game. A figure is silhouetted in blue light in the style of the poster for The Thing. In a painted border are all manner of monsters and ghouls encircling the image in warm tones. The Black Company by Glen Cook. It says "Darkness wars with darkness- until the new light breaks" Against a plain background, a figure that looks a lot like doctor doom (metal mask and gauntlets, dark cloak, etc) stabs the middle of a glowing pentagram with a giant fantasy dagger. there's a white rose off to the left. Peter Straub's SHADOWLAND. An image made purely of silver and black. A spooky house in the bottom left corner of the image is overwhelmed by a wave of silver that makes up giant wavy letters spelling the title. They culminate in gnarled branch-like ends. Clive Barker's The Thief Of Always. a young boy runs away from the viewer down an abstract pathway, towards a yellow light. the background is in lilacs, greens and blues, with the title in red. The boy's shadow stretches towards us, and his shadow's arms are bat-like wings.

Let’s hope that Tik Tok is disabled tonight at midnight and all day tomorrow and Monday.

Which means the biggest story on Monday will be…

And the reaction from the newly installed President will be …

In 1922 Alfred Stieglitz made a series of photographs of cloudy skies, calling them Equivalents because they matched an emotion or mood he was feeling.

This is my Equivalent for today.

It was getting late in Greenland's Scoresby Sound. Our captain decided to spend the night, anchorless! Floating in the middle of a calm sea, surrounded by uncountable icebergs, framed by giant mountains. A day we'll never forget!

aloha, tiktok users! just a heads up, here on bluesky, we keep it a little chiller! so if you're having a mental breakdown, don't make a big fuss, just quietly signal the mods by beginning and ending an otherwise unrelated post with the same word. any word will do, even something silly like aloha
