Look at the innocence of childhood, look at the pain inside them, look at the hunger, how it affected their bodies, the horrific anemia inside them. Don't be stingy with my children in buying food and medicine. Don't let them die of hunger.

TL; DR
In the next 5 business days you should be able to go to Link's page on blacksky.community and see his posts and he'll be able to post but people using the bsky mobile apps won't see it.
After that we'll get Blacksky-only posts up.
After that we can talk about purging bsky mod tools

Gavin Newsom fucking sucks, part MCXVII

he still has until the end of the week for the rest of the bills so unfortunately it’s time to suck it up, call his office, and politely ask this living hairpiece to do the bare minimum to protect the most vulnerable among us

We've now entered the second year of war - two years of nonstop suffering. We've lost our safety, our homes, and our dreams.

Two years of pain is enough to break any soul, yet somehow, we're still holding on to life.

In these grim times, while social media is plagued with doom- I LOVE filling my following list with artists who inspire me. Please, follow more artists. Flood your phone with beautiful, handmade work. There’s so much beauty to witness if you surround yourself with it. Repost so others can see too!

So HEADS UP. I did more digging, because I don't like taking things at face value, and I do not AT THIS TIME see any evidence that Hive is training their own AI gen. They list a model, but it's one created by a third party, not in house. They seem to use images to train their moderation service.

So, what's the truth?

Where are folks getting the news that Bluesky is using Hive?

A number of artists and creators have made their home on Bluesky, and we hear their concerns with other platforms training on their data. We do not use any of your content to train generative AI, and have no intention of doing so.

This is the 2nd anniversary of the start of a genocide that made Gaza the most dangerous place on earth for children— that has raised a mirror to the rot at the core of our world.

Never has it been clearer that none of us are free until Palestine is free.
