hey i don't know how many of y'all resisters ever see my posts but i want to impress upon you how important it is to speak plainly and not try to use words as a win button, especially ableist language.

not "he's ins*ne" when he's a liar
not "that policy is crazy" when that policy will kill people

cute little cartoon of a void kitten between a purple sheet and purple blanket with white stars with a handwritten caption:

"please be patient with yourself; it all *feels* overwhelming becaue it *IS* overwhelming" where 'feels' and 'is' are in bolded text.

to anyone at bsky who cares:

being upset with ppl begging you to consider their own/others' safety doesn't preclude keeping unsafe ppl (esp those with [imo] an express goal of stochastic terrorism) away.

pls reconsider. not bc we pay you, but bc bsky shouldn't/doesn't have to be another hellsite.

i had a friend who whenever his kids asked him where something was, he'd say "well, if it was up your butt you'd know it"! 😆

love, kindness, and compassion can win someone's heart in a single beat.

we are facing existential threats. but reflexively alienating folks whose indoctrination is cracking is self-defeating.

and without a mess of those folks buying in, we may soon find ourselves right. back. here.

ily all. 💜🦄

ANNOUNCER: "Scrubbing doesn’t work; perfumes only cover it up; and who has the time to soak? Forget all that junk, and step up... to 'Ass-Don’t-Smell'."

COLLEAGUE: [ notices canister in BOB's locker ] Huh? 'Ass-Don’t-Smell'? But... your ass doesn’t smell!

BOB: [ smiling confidently ] Exactly.

and pls reconsider banning Link, who has a long history #onhere and who is clearly a kind and thoughtful fellow, for acts that almost certainly weren't intended as threats of harm.

surely, there must be less punitive but equally effective ways to ensure this situation won't be repeated?

i figured despite the various clashes here that none of us want bsky to turn into another hellsite.

if so, pls don't allow the ppl who [imo] make careers on x ginning up hate against the vulnerable to do so via bsky too!

ig i'm naive but i believe bsky can and should rise to this moment in history

This captures their personalities perfectly: wide eyed innocence and mischievous plotter.

Two fluffy kittens, one seal point and one orange & white tabby, are sitting on a woman’s lap looking up at the camera directly above them. The tabby is posing so sweetly with big eyes and perfect pink nose. The seal point is looking like he’s planning something, with slightly squinty eyes and a determined set to his face.

jay: [ paraphrase ] mean tr*nnies and Black folks made me make bsky more transphobic and racist, fuck you

note: not a direct quote. simply an opinion/commentary.

i doubt i'm important enough to ban but ofc no reasonable person would think Link threatened anyone, so i reckon i should be very clear.

NEW! from @nicolefroio.bsky.social: The reason governments, universities, and other public institutions across the world want to quash pro-Palestine speech—including art and music—is because they understand the danger it poses to life as we know it. Which is all the more reason to say it louder.

Censorship of Pro-Palestine Speech in the Music Industry Shows the Power of Demands for Decolonization

The liberation of Palestine is a threat to how we live today—that’s precisely why we should keep calling for it.
