After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Just used this and set a bunch of controls. Excited to eliminate the bullshit before it ever reaches me!!
Experimenting with @skywatch.blue, a labeling feature that identifies (or hides) Bluesky accounts exhibiting features strongly associated with misinformation, harassment, trolling, Nazism, etc. It's granular — opting in gives you a lot of choices about behaviors. I recommend playing with it.

Remember when publicly doing the right thing was called "setting a good example"?
Now it's called "virtue signaling" and, apparently, a bad thing.

When we see narratives that blame the most vulnerable people for problems caused by the most powerful, I think it’s important to remember that this viral spread of misinfo is a more pervasive version of what the powerful have always done to defend themselves, with tech they steered in this direction

as LA is burning, a swath of the country is recovering from an ice storm, Alabama is preparing for up to 6” of snow and I’m praying for the TX power grid, a reminder:
we don’t need climate action just for future generations, we need it now.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

i may never know their names but their care changed our lives… we all can play a role in the care ecosystem, even when we can’t give monetarily. find ways to show your heart and recognize those in the wake of destruction. 🌀
a postscript: people often assume that being resourced in the aftermath means shelling out money to others… that’s a part of it but one of the things that touched me most after katrina were the quilts a church group in another state sent for my family that we still have.
care comes in many forms.
