Like bitch there is so much shit going on: let people hate billionaires wasting our time, it's literally a pressure valve away from the pitchforks lol

I really hope "let people like things!!!" is in its death rattles, particularly because it's rarely employed to defend, idk, weird and uncomfortable stuff. It's people comforting disney adults and 30somethings still wistful for Rowling's books. It's aiding and abetting billionaire behavior lol.

It's never a good sign when a popular artist (Taylor Swift) releases a dog turd of an album and the only ardent supporters with disposable income not from an allowance (middle-aged white gay men) employ ~it's just not that serious!~: the "blue no matter who" crowd tapped in for off-cycle work.

I know Bari Weiss is an easy example for the one-liner "The Trump Administration finally gave us gender equity in lady-morons failing up," but, please, I beg of you, please don't forget the career of Pam Bondi

I kind of can’t believe this Bari Weiss quote is even real, and yet www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/b...

“I know that there are some people in this room who don’t believe that my marriage should have been legal … and that’s ok. Because we’re all Americans who want lower taxes.”

It just feels exhausting to do this miss America talk when she ain't even cleared the local prelims yet

I feel like endless talk about Gavin Newsom presupposes that he will get his redistricting ballot measure passed--which seems like the necessary prerequisite for any of this fucking chatter for like eight reasons--and also assumes California voters have not shit the bed when left to make big choices

ANYWAY my other point is that Bluesky is such a meta-selfsuck that my posts about ~the discourse~ and the ~state of the state~ here go further than my actual bonafide art--which is, you know, actually good and not about this shithole and could reorient your feeds if you like and share it. just sayin

If social media is its own currency then the malaise people are feeling is the platform gig economy. you are dancing more numbers for fewer tips

I've literally written about this kind of shit in magazines before--the best tell about nearly any platform's foundational views on expression is always going to be what they do when queers talk about sex, even when said queers are taking steps to ensure only people who want to see it can

I don't want to be like "i knew something was up" because Bluesky lowkey has always sucked but it was clear something was up a year ago when showing like two inches of ass on an already-labeled photo would lead to mods relabeling my stuff as hardcore pornography, only relenting after like 25 appeals

You know, of all the things Link has done with his platform, this stands out as one of the most altruistic. Just a straight up act of kindness.

I don’t want to talk about this because I don’t want to be a target

But on just a human decency level the person tirelessly deleting Gazans just permabanned the guy who uses his thousands strong platform to boost the fundraisers of literally anyone who needs money or mutual aid every single Friday
