#pixelflotilla
As Italy goes on strike, we all stand with Sumud, with humanity, against the g3nocide and corrupt politicians. Together we sail. I know for sure that some heroes definitely like One Piece.

If you want to join the flotilla as a collab, more details in the first comment.

A top down pixel art of the Going Merry Ship from One Piece, sailing calmly through the waves. The Strawhat jolly roger waves gently at the very top of the mainmast. A Palestine flag waves atop the rear mast, where a red, white and green sail is also found right below. Many green, red, white and black triangular flags are tied to the ropes all around.
The crew can be spotted all around: Sanji is looking at a watermelon crate, possibly thinking of new recipes. Tony Tony Chopper is strolling happily down the staircase in the deck. Zoro is taking a nap at the bottom of the main mast. Nico Robin is relaxed, leaning on the main central deck railing and watching the waves, with a book by her side. Nami is looking towards the horizon from the bow deck where Usopp can be found as well, busy with ship's reparations. Luffy is sitting atop the sheep figurehead, with his arms stretched, hugging the giant watermelon he is enthusiastically eating.

Super Seconds Festival is a cool semi-regular event where a whole bunch of makers take part in a Seconds sale: selling slightly dinged/dented but-still-good items alongside deadstock AND discounts on full-price stuff!

Seconding this post. Please keep calling and mailing. ESPECIALLY if you're in Germany.

If Germany flips to opposed, with how the current shakeup is looking, chatcontrol is dead in the water once again.

The vote on Chat Control is in October, I believe, and there's only 7 countries opposed. But there's a whole lot more that are undecided since this all started.

I know it's felt a lot like 1 step forwards, 2 steps back. But keep calling and mailing, please!

Do NOT believe the misinfo going around

There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates

Most notably:

1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon
2) No "dangerous" kink
3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational"

So what can we DO about it?

#SaveSpeech

1/🧵

Multiple cropped screenshots showing portions of the bsky TOS before and now. Before: "iv. Encouraging self-harm or suicide
v. Depictions of excessive violence, gore, torture, dismemberment, or non-consensual sexual activity". Now: "ii. We do not allow sexual content involving non-consensual activity including synthetic, simulated, illustrated, or animated versions. iv. Do not create, share, or promote sexual content involving realistic risk of death or serious injury. i. Do not share content, methods, instructions, or promotion of self-harm, suicide, eating disorders, and extreme dieting practices.
ii. Do not share methods, instructions, depictions, or promotion of dangerous stunts or abuse of dangerous or controlled substances. 5. Protected Expression
B. Support, Recovery, and Mental Health:
i. Personal recovery experiences or survivor stories shared to promote healing and community support rather than encouraging harmful behavior.
ii. Sharing verified mental health resources, crisis prevention".

The whole bsky TOS update is garbage but they're also deciding to go full steam ahead with censoring creative expression

Before the events of Sep 10th, KOSA was reported to be dead in the committee. Now they're using said events as an excuse to try to get the bill through.

Just because the debate guy got killed for his free speech doesn't mean they should take away yours.

US legislators are pushing harder to pass KOSA and repeal section 230.

Call your representatives ASAP and make your voice heard! Advocate for protecting section 230, and demand your reps oppose KOSA!

Bipartisan Push in Congress to Weaken Section 230, Expand Online Surveillance, and Increase Platform Liability

Calls for platform accountability came with few answers about who decides what speech is acceptable.

Wear a face mask when you go out in public- if for no other reason than knowing that they want you too sick, too exhausted and too burned out from dealing with back to back respiratory infections to speak up for yourself & your community. You deserve to protect your health.

Germany has, unfortunately, reversed its position back to undecided.

folks in the EU, but GERMANS ESPECIALLY, need to call your MEPs about Chat Control and urge them to oppose this proposal!

a blurry digit pulls back a young, frilly, bright green zucchini leaf to reveal two healthy buds, with what looks like more leaves and potential buds growing from the stem. the larger, darker leaves, which offer the buds and baby leaves shade, are partly in fame, and the sand beneath is a blue of various browns.

compared to every other photo taken in Gaza today, it looks like hope.

a blurry digit almost out of frame holds a big, dark green zucchini leave out of the way, to take a slightly blurry photo of a zucchinii bud. the plant itself looks healthy and green, withh what looks like another bud concealed behind a stem to this bud's left, and fresh, new baby leaves growing around them.

(sincere q from meave: does the small farm give you hope after watching the erasure of Gaza City? it makes me proud to know our brother mohamed)

Awful to think that amid all this pain and misfortune these people still have landlords to contend with. Sahar now needs $650 to cover her expenses and asks everyone for help. Any little bit helps it really does

Okay Bluesky is flagging or deleting every Palestinian account I boost as soon as I do it. Sahar needs $300 and she asked me to post her campaign because constantly making new accounts is becoming untenable
