reminder that if you're migrating here from twitter, be wary of Bluesky's stance on specific kinds of NSFW content (which hasn't changed since Oct 15)

They can be notoriously trigger happy when it comes to strikes and bans with this stuff.
Yeah I remember people were making an uproar about noncon stuff a while ago (which led to the whole "I consent!" fad) and I checked just now, they still don't allow it

That's not even mentioning their vague stances on other stuff.

And if you are sick and homebound and spend most of the day in bed like me, a slower less juiced feed can be better for a calm nervous system and not scrolling into a crash. Sometimes the better thing to do with your time is rest.

Bsky can be hard for people to get started on because it doesn't spoon feed you engaging rage bait and it's entirely what you make it.

Take control of what you're seeing. Cultivate your feeds. Remember when it gets "boring" that's okay because then you sign off and do better things with your time.

I hope #waleg passes an income tax on the rich. If they do, they really should include the following:

1. Most of the $$ goes to public schools
2. Include some cut to sales tax, even if it's minor
3. Sell it as an anti-Trump, anti-billionaire move

Those steps can help it survive at the ballot box.
‘Tax the rich’ may be reaching a boiling point in WA
It's been 15 years since WA voters last walloped a state income tax. Now Democrats may try again — in part because of the incredible riches amassed since then.

Hey @houserepublicans.bsky.social you have ACTUAL jobs to do.
The "Culture Wars" are an abdication of any responsibility to really govern. Focus on those old-fashioned notions like providing for the common defense and promoting the general welfare, and on the "wedge issues" mind your own business.
hi, cis folks!

today, congress votes on 2 bills —HR498 & HR3492—one bans medicaid funds for providers of trans youth care; the other criminalizes that care, imposing penalties including jail.

either one passing destroys lives. we need you to call & tell your rep to vote no.

I wrote up a quick email and copy-pasted to my reps. It’s in the replies, if anyone would prefer to have one pre-written. It’s in three parts. Note: My senators are blue, so folks with red reps will need to make phrasing adjustments to appeal to their sensibilities.
Repealing Section 230 would chill free speech by allowing platforms, not users, to be held responsible for what its users say. Platforms will become much more censorious over what its users can post. This is extremely bad
They're trying to rush it. Call your reps, don't let them
Sen. WHITEHOUSE: We finally are moving to file a bipartisan Section 230 repeal bill. Waiting any longer serves no useful purpose.

Congress is attempting to fast track KOSA and more than a dozen bills that would restrict internet access, censor speech and increase surveillance under the guise of protecting children.

My charitable take here is that this is a lesson about the perils of nostalgia and unmovable priors.

The founding of the modern state of Israel always had more problems that supporters acknowledge but it was a reasonable imperfect response to the Holocaust and the perils facing Jews globally.

As a Jew myself, I don’t need a dumb bitch like Hillary talking down to me. I know my history, and I know that what Israel has done to Palestine is a morally reprehensible genocide. Sorry that I think people being burned alive in a hospital is bad, but I have morals!

Utterly incredible how the sensible centrist you absolutely had to vote for in 2016 is now on the path to becoming a full-blown Gaza genocide denier within the next few years. These people are amoral scumbags who pretend to be holier-than-thou and that's precisely why they keep losing to Trump.

If you have YouTubers you like and follow and watch their videos a lot

leave innane/positive comments on their videos. The algo is all fucked up for YT creators and a lot of videos get sent to the void for whatever reason.

Tell your congress idiots: NO on #KOSA. Tell them this is not negotiable. Tell them that if they even THINK of voting yes, they're done. Tell them that this is completely unacceptable, and that if they support it they're fools.

Call and yell at Chuck Schumer even if he's not yours.
KOSA is never about protecting kids. It’s anti-queer and about making sure kids don’t have access to information they need to survive - from health basics to knowing they are not alone and not broken. And it will destroy the internet as we know it.

Except, of course, it’s *not* all he can say.

Cassidy could concede publicly that confirming Kennedy was a tragic mistake. He could call for RFK Jr's resignation. He could schedule hearings, haul the secretary to Capitol Hill, and demand the CDC’s public resources reflect the scientific cannon.
TAPPER: You were the deciding vote that allowed RFK Jr to ascend to the role of Health Secretary. Did you give him too much credit?

As Senator Wyden points out, banks knew about Jeffrey Epstein and his sex trafficking ring. So when you talk about KOSA, make sure you let Democrats know their bill is a meaningless gesture.

And that they should enforce food safety rules instead.
