Disabled people are not the enemy

Immigrants are not the enemy

LGBTQ+ people are not the enemy

Minorities & people of colour are not the enemy

These division tactics only work because there’s one group who needs to feel superior to the rest of us

They will “other” anyone to advance their agenda

ou trivia team lost tonight to Team Tylenol and I really don’t think it’s fair that people are using performance enhancing drugs for a casual little pub trivia.

Greta Thunberg donned a keffiyeh with an
"AUTISM" T-shirt that included an image of a skeleton dual wielding automatic rifles before she left on her flotilla.
What do you think she was trying to convey with this t-shirt?
AUTISM

"If you removed our autism you would remove us. Everything you love &hate about us would be gone. We'd fundamentally be completely different ppl. So if you love an autistic person, their autism is part of what you love about them." By @autiebiographical.bsky.social:

Well… my bank has shutdown my checking account because I was $-1,144 and I couldn’t cover it. I want to cry.

If anyone can help, I need it and I’d be so grateful.

I was raped in July, lost a pregnancy and my job.

Thanks to all of you who are continuing to boost me....but until I can parlay that into some actual donations enough to pay these expenses between now and Friday morning, I will be in a world of trouble and out on the streets.

$950 needed RIGHT NOW. Please help if you can!!

This is AJ Link, known here as Łink. He's awesome. He's been permabanned for basically just making the CEO, Jay Graber, mad. This was a monumentally stupid decision that, AFAICT, may result in the collapse of Bluesky due to a loss of trust, but we'll see. The smart thing to do would be to #FreeŁink

“As a neurodiversity advocate and as an autistic person, I’m really grateful for so much of the work that’s been done that allows me to be myself and to be successful being myself.” Link, who has been *banned*!?!? from this platform?
