For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9² x 5² = 2025
40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
My favourite?
1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025

For years, former Black Panthers have feared that the FBI is still keeping tabs on them decades after its notorious COINTELPRO program.

Malik Rahim had never been able to prove he was targeted. Now, government docs show he was correct.
When the Feds Are Still Watching
Former Black Panthers fear the FBI is still keeping tabs on them decades after COINTELPRO. In at least one case, they were right.

Consent should be in your mind even as you think about how you talk to people. Do you have permission to ask or make sexual statements? Make sure before you make somebody uncomfortable

“I have too many books”
-judgemental
-boring
-implies impulse-control issues

“The books... they have me.”
- mysterious
- occult
- implies you are at the mercy of a library of books that have gained sentience and are holding you hostage

when Black trans users pointed this out as part of the foundational anti Blackness of the platform

A lot of people shrugged it off because some of the harassers were trans themselves

mastodon had to shut down a whole server for the same reason

moderation isn’t fun

It’s necessary
It’s really disheartening to see trans users having to step back from Bluesky because of the influx of transphobic harassment. Trans posters built the culture of this platform and it would behoove cis allies to advocate for their safety as Bluesky expands and they get targeted
