our new album is here

Tremosphere @tremosphere.com · May 15

OUT NOW

saturated solace
our fourth album

https://tremosphere.bandcamp.com/album/saturated-solace

On a black background, we see the picture of a woman, twice. She's a cis white woman, in the dark, naked, her long brunette straight hair falling on her breasts. No make up. The first iteration of the picture has a pink filter, the second a dark lavender one. Band name and album title are written in that same dark lavender tone.

Seeing some people criticizing being concerned about this as follow policing, but this is Rose's work account. Her professional account, used for work. The official conduct of Bluesky leadership.

Following a 90-follower account that basically any community modlist would hide for you. Optics!

The COO of bluesky, Rose, is following the heritage foundation account on bluesky.

Soyweiser @soyweiser.bsky.social · 1d

She is the COO en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_o... of bsky. This is worrying because after the 'we are turning waffles into an anti-trans thing' by the CEO the CEO started to follow a transphobe. Shows a pattern.

Wonder when we find out one of them follows the discovery institute.

Leaving a painful situation doesn't happen all at once. It often requires planning & patience & resources that don't just appear. The fact that it took time-- or is taking time-- is NOT evidence you "don't want it."

Just stay focused on today's baby steps & micro choices.

À la radio y a un type qui raconte qu'il a écrit un livre sur son frère schizophrène que son frère aurait détesté qu'on l'écrive de son vivant parce qu'il voulait pas qu'on le résume à sa schizophrénie mais maintenant qu'il est mort apparemment y a plus de problème.

“They pose in Christmas cards with guns as big as all their children

They say that Jesus is the way but then they gave him a white face

So they don't have to pray to
someone they deem lesser than them

The South will not rise again
Til it's paid for every sin”

Aujourd'hui par exemple, l'émotion surjouée partout à l'évocation du grand Badinter par ceux là même qui déroule le tapis rouge à de Rétailleau ou Le Pen, comment dire son obscénité ?

Thomas Cadène @thomascadene.bsky.social · 2d

Et ils iront parader aux commémorations des guerres contre la barbarie blabla… immense dégoût.

Ça vaut aussi pour les médias qui leur déroulent le tapis rouge entre deux émissions présentées avec des trémolos dans la voie sur les barbaries d’avant.

Ils ajoutent ainsi l’insulte à leur complicité.

This is why I get hung up on people trying to “get liars to admit their lies”

They can’t confess to lies they don’t think they’re telling

And there are a lot of those

More than I think we give credit for

We can’t keep waiting for admissions of guilt to stop this runaway train

Behavior > words

If we had responded to Covid by normalizing masking, providing respirators in healthcare & adopting clean air standards…we could have beaten the virus.

We would also be seeing less measles, colds & flu.

We would all be healthier.

I believe history will see it as one of our greatest failures.

This is exactly what we need. This is it.

"New York City Council member Chi Ossé, a close ally of Zohran Mamdani, is privately discussing a run against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)"

Scoop: Mamdani ally weighs challenging Hakeem Jeffries

Just talking about a potential campaign could drive a further wedge between Mamdani — the democratic socialist in line to be New York's next mayor — and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)

This comes three days after AJ Link got banned after pointing out the CEO had started following Jonathan Chait, in ongoing pushback at her refusal to ban a notorious transphobe.

I found this labeler so helpful. This is a blow.

screen shot of Follow Tracker / for.shame.wtf posts on 10/8/25.

This labeler will be shutting down. We will first be unlabeling everyone who is labeled and then will cease to operate. As the unlabeling operation will take an unknown amount of time, we are not setting a specific timeline other than as soon as possible.

There is something extremely dark about the fact that, if this is true, photographic proof of Donald Trump's criminal pedophilia and rape of children cannot be released because the photos themselves are child sexual abuse material.

Pourquoi je pousse pour l’union de toute la gauche avec LFI?
Quand F. Hollande a été élu président il avait :
- le sénat à gauche (!)
- l’assemblée à gauche
- toutes les régions sauf une à gauche
Et il n’a rien fait avec ça. Donc sans majorité claire le bilan sera pire. Il faut une gauche radicale.
