There's a good chance your moderation settings are hiding the accounts of Palestinians, who are frequently marked as spam within 24 hours of creating an account here! Here's how to turn that off, and edit your settings, to see folks who are usually suppressed here.

I'm doing some shopping to make my hair conditioner before I run out and just...what the hell going on here

I'm just going to shop somewhere else. I'm not sure what software they use or whatever, but it seems buggy as hell for pricing.
Picture showing the prices for BTMS-50, which costs 33.99. It seems to be priced wrong, where the sale isn't reflected in the price: cost per pound is supposed to be 24.28, but costs 33.99 for 16 ounces - a pound. Another screenshot showing the pricing issues, where 8 oz of BTMS 50 cost 32.32 - but costs 26 bucks by the pound - whereas 16 oz costs 33.99.

The only folk who I'll let get away with this for me is indies, who GENUINELY are taking a cut with that discount!

Special shout out to the Ebony Tarot: it's an indie Afro-centric deck on sale rn that I'm JUST learning about! With how rough things are rn, support Black artists if you can!
A picture demonstrating the white box for The Ebony Tarot, it's black and pink font surrounded by photographs of Black Canadian artists modeling for photos inspired by the Rider Waite Smith Tarot. To the right of the box is The High Priestess card, featuring a Black femme in a black dress and white robe, a scroll of unknown origin and unknown meaning held between her hands. They stand in front lush greenery, their smile all knowing and comforting. Pictured is the Death card from the Ebony Tarot, where a crowned being in all black mourning clothes stand on a bed of stone, surrounded by water and light. Their mourning veil covers their face and long braids, concealing them, all in stark contrast to the white, red, and pink roses that adorn it. A single butterfly rests against their out reached hand, the other holding a bouquet of roses close to their chest. Pictured is The Hermit from The Ebony Tarot, featuring a Black and gold robed masculine individual holding up a glowing lantern in one hand and a staff carved to resemble a snake in the other. They look on as if judging where their journey has taken them, a glowing star in the horizon potentially guiding their way. Pictured are 5 cards from the Ebony Tarot in this order: The High Priestess, Temperance, Justice, (presumably) the 8 of Swords, and The Fool from left to right. Each card features Rider Waite Smith inspired photography featuring Black folk across the diaspora posed within verdant backgrounds of forestry and nature.

I kept getting fucked up vibes from Telltale's Wolf Among Us and, after getting curious about Bloody Mary's backstory, I started digging

A lotta searching and reading the (loudly) misogynistic comics later, I found out something:

The author of Fables is a pro-life Zionist supporter of Israel 😬
A comic page of Mister Gepetto & Bigby wolf having a conversation in the night, a lit candle in a lantern radially lighting their faces. A little guy frowns at Bigby in the last panel. The conversation on the panels are as follows: Bigby: "Ever hear of a country called ISRAEL?" Gepetto: "Who knows? Maybe. Why's that important?" Bigby: "Here's what you need to know about it: Israel is a tiny country surrounded by much LARGER countries dedicated to its eventual total destruction." Gepetto: "And why should that concern ME?" Bigby: "Cause they stay ALIVE by being a bunch of tough little bastards who make the other guys pay dearly every time they do anything against Israel. Some in the wider world constantly wail and moan about the endless cycle of violence and reprisal...But since the alternative IS NON-EXISTENCE, the Israelis seem determined to keep at it. They have a lot of grit and iron. I'm a big fan of them." Gepetto: "Are you near being done? I'd like to go back to sleep." Bigby: "Here's the part that concerns YOU. Fabletown has decided to adopt the Israel template in whole. You've no doubt guessed that you guys play the part of the vast powers arrayed against us."

That "Surprise, motherfucker!" dude from Dexter staring smugly at a white man who won't look him in the eye. Some Christian painting of white Jesus carrying a cross is in the back. Mr. Surprise himself don't look like he gives a fuck this is maybe a holy place, he's going to do him and do what he gotta regardless.

I usually get INFJ, but I'm like right at the 50/50 cusp of F/T and switch between them!

[And they aren't wrong 😂 I can only handle the food thing when I'm not real hungry, otherwise I may snap cause your holding me back from my grub at that point 😩]
INTJ, pronounced In-Tejay A cat like figure smiles while they rear back a metal bat, the muscles of their arms pulsing. A hatch line speech bubble next to them says "Calmly...but mercilessly beaten down by facts" Red alarms surround the words "This is your trigger button", followed by what they are: when I have to follow orders, no questions asked; someone bosses me around; picking food with an indecisive person Yellow caution signs surround the words "Go insane if this is forbidden", followed by what those are: no number based planning; no serious faces allowed Below that are matches to the INTJ personality and how they are pronounced. A good match is an ENFP (En-Peep), followed by a cat crying and shaking - yet still standing on business, the trigger button off for them. Next to that is my bad match, ESFJ (Essie-J), with a cat cross legged on an egg chair, drinking from a nearby mug and looking smug with little glasses. The trigger button is red and on for the ESFJ. At the bottom is "What's Your Trigger? By X poomang"

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.
Vegeta, an anime character from Dragonball, stares directly into the camera - your eyes - shaking violently and drooling. His aura glows with urgent passion, the red swirling energy radiating off of his skin. At the top of the image is this: "Evangelical Christian men fighting the urge to suck billionaire cock." Outstanding, truly the fulcrum of our Christofascist times.

A teeny, tiny, Black kitten fucking GNAWS a furry lavender blanket, their paws grasping their prey in their claws. Their human chills in the back on some kinda public transport machine, a white wire and their black tracksuit peaking out. But this is about the audacity of the weak lilac blanket and how it must be ATTACKED!

Rudy wants revolution. @rude1.blacksky.team in a post: 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 HERbron James @meekayelah.bsky.social in a Quote: If you're able, please support Rudy and his team as they continue to build a separate community for us on #blacksky! They deserve all the support for how they've handled things from day 1 for our community. [Link to Blacksky's funding page on Open Collective is shared for support.] JR Tomlin (she/her) @jrtomlin.bsky.social in reply: If you want to go someplace based on racial segregation, so long.

Did a quick read and this confirmed what I was saying earlier: it's an at root ATProto issue and there's nothing stating protection from gen AI. At that, there's a section saying there's no culpability concerning what third parties do. Fair, but that plus no active protections ain't it.

At the end of the day, I want people to make informed choices on who they support and put their money behind. I want people to finally have safe online platforms and communities.

I trust folk's actions...but I also know money changes people.

That's all, make your own opinions.

It says: To my knowledge there's only one alternate stack that runs atproto as a complete service, Blacksky. But this isn't a turnkey solution that you can stand up as your own independent alternative; Blacksky at present barely has documentation. And even Blacksky users are still more or less under the thumb of Bluesky's moderation service, if they intend to reach 99% of the network as it exists today.]

But it's not all bad! I don't think he's a nazi and I don't think that's a fair characterization. But I DO think your being dense if you pretend like there's no overlap in attitudes here - or that it isn't potentially shady to crawl through Rudy's likes in ways we haven't with Northsky's folks.
