I don't think people really understand the psychic impact of knowing that multiple times a day every day your friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, and everyone who could ever have any power over you is being flooded with agitprop designed to make them hate you

It's hilarious because movies based on historical figures where there literally were no good white people involved, they have to invent a white savior -one of the good ones- just to get the movie made.

A human can only survive 2-7 days without clean water, whereas we can survive in perpetuity without datacenters. Choose wisely.

“Every day I’m crying,” Renita Theus, 41, said outside her darkened apartment, where her car remained trapped under a fallen tree. “It’s hot … I walked to the dollar store and they’re all out of candles and batteries.” "She lost her cleaning job in Chicago … because she was not able to travel."

With acres of land successfully secured for generations to come thanks in part to Jackie, Ojai raptor center stepped in to give her the best chances with utmost care and compassion. Wildlife rehabbers and medical staff deserve the same in return. Donations: www.ojairaptorcenter.org/donate
As someone with ADHD who very often needs both friction & tedium reduced in order to, y'know, function, I've definitely come to rely way too much on the workflow of canvas/instructure & other LMS environments, which makes their whole "increasingly evil & increasingly pervasive" situation suck a lot…
Kate Clancy@kateclancy.bsky.social · last mo.Folks seeking to divest from Canvas - are you going completely old school (paper only syllabus, assignments, etc) or have you worked out a hybrid plan? Can anyone point me to resources that will surveil me and my students less?
It’s insane how this never stops being relevant
Rest well. Know that you are loved, appreciated & respected. Even if its just a stranger on the internet you dont even know and have never met. If you needed this, then this measage is for you. If you didn’t need this, same. Be well and be kind to yourself no matter how hard, friend. Take care ❤️👍🏾

My Haitian friend was just fired from his job. "They said I don't have a legal status now." This is likely happening to hundreds of thousands of people across this country today. Sick.

Genuinely impossible to make people understand how much most the United States in the 90s hated and looked down on anime if they didn't live through it.
chungris@chungris.bsky.social · 2mo agowdym marvel in the 90s got mad at how sentinel was designed in the capcom fighters imagine seeing one of the coolest characters ever designed for a fighting game and complaining
In the 80s & 90s, there was an extreme amount of anti-Japanese sentiment in the US. Read about the murder of Vincent Chin. He was beaten to death by 2 men who assumed he was Japanese & blamed him for them losing their jobs. They got a $3k fine and probation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing...

I keep thinking about how stupid stancil is, how he is fundamentally incapable of understanding the numbers and how they work, but speaks with the confidence of an LLM. If even 50 people tipped me $20 each, I would be able to SEE CLEARLY. I could get groceries without worrying.
Denys Beecher@dbeecher.bsky.social · 2mo agoWill is wrong about large numbers here. A million dollars isn't particularly inconceivable to an average person. We can walk by suburban houses that cost a million. It's very easy to visualize what $1 million would buy.

As posted in a few servers and was alerted to this picture earlier today: What they said. DO NOT FILL IT OUT, it is there to fuck with your artist peers and yourself, they (paypal) can and will abuse this and steal your money by banning your account
WitchOfAvalon🔞@witchofavalon.bsky.social · 10mo agoApparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices. If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.
