If social media has taught me anything, its that a LOT of men have apparently never seen a woman without makeup on.

If you have any moral backbone, you can only "separate the art from the artist" when the artist is dead.
Sam Adams@samadams.bsky.social · 20h agoWorth reiterating every time that this is not some cancel-culture purity test: JK Rowling has pledged more than a billion dollars of her Harry Potter money towards bankrolling anti-trans lawsuits. This finances that.
People want to listen to me, but only if I communicate the right way People want me to be authentic but only if it’s palatable. People want to socialize with me, but not in environments where I’m regulated. People want all the capitalistic benefits of my neurodivergence without supporting me .
People don’t like when I look too much in their eyes or too little. People don’t like my tone but also don’t like when I seem disingenuous. People want me to be comfortable but don’t want me to rock or fidget or stim People don’t want me to over apologize but insist I apologize when I’m rude.
We’re in our fucking 40s. “Starting to be decisive” LMFAO we’ve been full grown adults for decades. Stop.
Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 3d agoAOC: Millennials are not punk kids anymore. We're grown adults with mortgages and kids, and that generation is starting to be decisive at the polls. And there is anger at being ignored, having our economic futures mortgaged by the generations that came before us and we're taking the reins
Nonwhite friends: one of my local friends and their family have been experiencing some pretty horrific racism (I was not there). I’m feeling super out-of-my-depth on how to best help and support them. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
The GOP doesn't get punished if this country doesn't elect more leftists.
I shouldn't have to convince adults that science is real.
Another day of me looking for a lead as I start to get Livtet ready for alpha release (desktop only, Apple is hanging me up). Open for #Rust / #TypeScript / #Svelte / #React work. LLM friendly (worked on one for the US DSVA). www.linkedin.com/posts/jacky-... www.jacky.wtf/work

babs ✨@itsbabs.bsky.social · last yr.I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: our punk and drag shows have more covid mitigation than disease foundation summits and physicians conferences. Why can we do what people whose careers supposedly depend on the knowledge—with far more resources— can’t? #WeKeepUsSafe
I often wonder if this is another advantage of neurodivergence. AI is so obviously fake superficial bullshit wrapped in a thin veneer of intelligence. I see right through it, and I don’t understand how so many other people do not.
Dan Sheehan@dansheehan.bsky.social · 2w agoIt is funny that as more people get duped by AI, the response more frequently seems to be to insist that the models are developing godlike intelligence and we all need to be sooo careful when the real lesson is clearly that the human psyche can get absolutely one-shotted by personalized flattery

What is happening inside the Dilley ICE detention center is state-inflicted trauma. Babies & toddlers caged for weeks. Children developing suicidal ideation. Families being fed expired food & denied medical care. We must close Dilley immediately & free our children.
For years, I had a tough time understanding why Paul Jarvis quit the Internet. Today, it feels like he could see into the future.
‘Just not Trump’ is the exact platform you would have if your goal was to ensure the conditions that produced Trump remained intact.
Hot take: Republicans will say EXACTLY the same things about centrists that they will about DSA members (i.e. call them commies). The difference is that DSA candidates will actually fight for the things real people WANT and thus will be less vulnerable than do-nothing centrists to bullshit attacks.
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 3w agoThe vibes may be exciting, but if Democrats are going to win this year and in 2028, they must reject the DSA. If you’re tempted by a democratic socialist this year, think of what use Republicans will make of these victories, and ask whether you want to do favors for fascists.
Any recommendations on a good **accessible** JS calendar library (framework agnostic). Trying to code my own, and holy shit there are a lot of moving parts! But of the dozen OSS options I've found, not a single one works for non-sighted/keyboard.
