Giving away game codes! Please share even if you don't want any, I'd love to get them all into other people's hands today.
Lyric Rain@rainsong.cloud · 2mo agoHeya Bluekies, it's my birthday and I'm going to do things a little bit hobbit style by giving some gifts. Or, at least, giving away game codes that have been sitting unused from Humble Bundles that partially overlapped with games I already had. Here's how this is going to work:

Wolverine and Marten Just Got Better for F# Folks
Polecat 4.0 shares many more internals with Marten and I’m hopeful that it’s also much better for F# developers as well. Wolverine and more so Marten do already have F# users, but we ju…

Attacks on trans women are attacks on women. I'm not sure why we don't see this. It will affect us on all levels of society. I will not have my womanhood policed, nor will I have others policed. Why do we not see this? Why do I even have to post that cis women are affected for cis women to care?
FYI: Lamarr created a radio system that utilized frequency hopping to prevent radio jamming in ww2. Its principles are still utilized today (wifi, Bluetooth, etc.)

hire all the fired political teen vogue writers and make a new magazine call teen rogue. we’ll all subscribe en masse
The funniest part is when the blue sky team announced something dumb and the entire community's reaction en masse is that it's dumb and bluesky just pretends like it's not seeing any of that until one of the team members has a crashout from the stress of pretending to be eternally correct
So, you basically made this to hide replies that rightfully criticize your bad decisions?
Hey remember that whole "Bluesky doesn't have algorithms" thing
tl;dr: Bluesky began with genuine promise: a new social media platform where users could feel safer, but inconsistent moderation quickly eroded trust. When systemically marginalized users pushed back, Bluesky’s leadership minimized concerns and began to target them for bans.

I wasn't planning to post anything today. I dislike working and writing on weekends in general, but this was too important to ignore. You have to see this Zohran Mamdani campaign ad that came out this...

Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

This article is an excellent overview of how Bluesky’s leadership continues to mishandle opportunities for improvement. I genuinely hope that Bluesky’s exec team takes the time to practice introspection & self-crit. It’s not too late to correct course, folks.

Nico Mara-McKay 🦇 (they/iel)@nicomaramckay.com · 10mo agoWant to understand why users have lost faith in Bluesky's leadership? Or what the deal with waffles was about? Or why users are up in arms about a beloved activist and community builder was banned for criticizing Bluesky's CEO?
Nottoway Plantation burning down and the subsequent conversation about how that space had been utilized reminds me of traveling the Caribbean and seeing sugar cane plantations turned into rum brand HQs. I'm thinking about my ancestors trauma, others are throwing back shots at the bar.

hello cis friends this is what people mean by trans genocide if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist
Having ADHD is like playing a crappy mobile game: Sorry, you already spent your daily Productivity Mode token! You can only have one Productivity Mode activation per day. Please wait 24 hours OR buy some Boost Crystals (stimulants) in the shop if you want to do the dishes NOW!
Ezri once told Worf, "The Klingon Empire is dying, and I think it deserves to die … I know this sounds harsh, but the truth is you have been willing to accept a government that you know is corrupt. Gowron is just the latest example." Later that day, Worf killed Gowron. This is a post about DS9.
Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
BREAKING: President Trump signed an executive order threatening to override families with transgender youth and shut down access to gender-affirming care for trans people under the age of 19 nationwide. This order will not take immediate effect, and we will not allow this policy to stand.
Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.
