A digital collage of my own making featuring two prominent background images: a pink-skied mountain range above a forested valley, and the basalt formations on the beach of Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland. Bordering the edges are lilacs, pansies and violets in various shades of desaturated pinks and purples. In the center there is a very desaturated (almost black and white, but not quite) vintage illustration of a little girl holding a bouquet of bunches of very small flowers. Her eyes are cropped out and she is smiling gently. Behind her are gravestones with crosses at tops, and behind that are more pansies and lilacs. To the right of the center is a silver colored Celtic cross pendant that I personally own, partly hidden by lilacs. Behind that is a trailing pastel pink ribbon. To the left of the center is a silver heart shaped locket pendant with roses embossed all over it, also one that I own. Behind it is a pastel blue ribbon bow. To the further left is an Axe of Perun uncovered from an archeological dig, desaturated to be grey and partly covered by violets and lilacs.
This collage represents personal childhood nostalgia, favorite aesthetics, and a mix of two of my ancestral cultures (Celtic and Polish).

They literally could do so much cool shit and make so much money and they simply choose not to

Ubisoft bowed down to literally the biggest losers on the planet and for what. To make even less money than they already don't make? Pathetic.

Culture Crave 🍿 @culturecrave.co · 9h

Ubisoft canceled an 'Assassin's Creed' game set after the Civil War

• Featured a Black Assassin who was formerly a slave

• Would fight the emerging Ku Klux Klan

• Leadership canceled it — concerned with US political climate & Yasuke backlash

Although with Faolan it's more "make him flustered and blush" and with Halsin it's "I want to make him raise his voice and get him sweating a little"

LRP Shadowheart to Faolan. and Halsin tbh

I would only voice like three of them and would hold my husband at gunpoint (metaphorical) to voice the others (kidding he'd have fun)

If you think pointing out that a member of Bluesky staff is following THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION while said staff is banning Palestinians & trans folk (and defending people who want us dead) is "unhinged"... what the fuck is wrong with you?

Is anyone surprised @offline.mountainherder.xyz is a techbro?

@Scoiattolo on Bluesky:

Yeah I'm shutting down @for.shame.wtf. I'm sorry, I know a great many of you use it responsibly and in this specific case it is not relevant, but this sort of behavior is unhinged and I don't want to be party to facilitating it.

There's fucking yaoi art on a train by my house I'm fucking losing my mind, this rules so much

Anime styled graffiti art on a train car depicting a male demon looking seductively at another man while saying "That's a good boy", with the phrase "kiss yr homies goodnight" in the bottom left corner.
Artist seems to be "Akira BPD"

someone: wow this conservative loves Pratchett and doesn't see the irony
some stupid motherfucker: HAHA and she's a WOMAN who LIKES BOOKS FOR KIDS

paige 💌 @ghoulvalentines.bsky.social · 12h

no but really don't you just love people's ability to detract from the actual point - a conservative politician reading Pratchett and NOT gleaning any of the actual values from his work - and make it about "haha women are so cringe" because they're still idiots who haven't unpacked their misogyny?

Jason Blum's take on AI sucks. an AI takeover isn't inevitable, and treating it as such (while also referring to filmmaking as "content creation," smdh) helps AI companies promote the lie that their deeply unprofitable, destructive tech is more powerful and useful than it actually is.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

It sure would be great if literally any of the BlueSky staff would be approaching a fraction of this level of professionalism. Shout out to Rudy and everyone on the BlackSky team.

Rudy wants revolution. @rude1.blacksky.team · 1d

I hear and see your concerns. Over the weekend, a couple users hosted on Blacksky's PDS were banned from the Bluesky app and thus the Bluesky API servers. This was a weakness of our system I've been aware of and hoped we had more time to address before any kind of public incident. 1/11
