This is why they're desperate to deny climate change.
The looters I want to talk about are the ones who stole our safe and stable climate from us. Millennia of planetary harm for individuals' profit. They set the fires.

Cool thing I definitely enjoy is how this is happening twice a week now yet the blocklist discourse never evolves past
"Okay, yes, these first 2574... oh another? Okay, 2575 blocklists were misused by malicious actors BUT THE SYSTEM IS STILL GOOD! The 2576th one will be fine!"

Lol the guy who made the list added me to it. Because yanno, I'm clearly a porn bot
don't use this "porn bot" block list. it's blocking legit creators and outspoken trans women. if you subscribe to this, unsubscribe, and block the d-bag lib resister who made it: bsky.app/profile/did:...

Happy New Year.
2024 was a difficult year for transgender people, and yet at the turning of the year, I find myself holding on tightly to the small moments of peace we have right now.
2025 will be difficult, and it is essential that we find space for peace and rest to prepare for it.

No idea how you’d test this hypothesis, but it appears that the House Sparrows have learned that if they all perch on this sapling they can bend it until it becomes a feeder perch
The flock perches, bends the sapling, then take turns eating before rotating back to the other side of the sapling

Jesse is harmful to the trans community - many of whom were instrumental in making Bluesky what it is
I love it here - but I want it to be safe & inclusive. I don’t want to see trans users & elders leave because mods won’t stand up to a bigot
This isn’t about his “views”… it’s about what he *does*

See this is what I mean by the “not touching you” bullshit. You gotta learn how to enforce rules on bad actors who toe the line, because they are demonstrating methods to other users who wish to do the same.
We do not currently take action on accounts that share Bluesky screenshots with commentary, unless that commentary violates our Guidelines. We will take action when someone's private information is shared without their consent, but only when it is personally identifiable and verifiable in-app.

If you think about it it's darkly funny that the pandemic has divided people into two groups
1. People who get sick all the time
2. People who never get sick anymore

They banned the account that announced when the T&S guy posted. It wasn't sharing commentary or screenshots, just "X posted Y minutes ago".
This was a test and Bluesky's admin failed it.

I think ACB may be oddly persuadable. This exchange raised my eyebrow.
She seemed to be unaware of anti cross dressing laws and independently brought it up later surprised to learn about the long history of actual legal discrimination.
She’s also sided with liberals on not taking up cases.
