The thing that frustrates me most with this is Aaron Bluesky states in the thread that if you tell people outright what is actionable they will change their actions to circumvent it And in the same breath says they telling us to "enjoy the camps" isn't actionable.

Hi! This is out today and it’s awesome! And I am proud to be connected to it! SUPPORT TRANS PEOPLE!!! WE ARE FUCKING MAGICAL!!!!

Sick of being told to accept this slop shit as the way we are being treated. Aaron, if it wasnt for trans people, you wouldnt have a fucking job. We built this place. From the ground up. With every other freak online. Dont come at us with your cis-splaining why we should accept abusive statements.

Its always some long winded explanation as to why trans people MUST endure more hatred and more abuse. Always. We are never protected or seen as worth protecting. Fuck off, cis liberals. You cant pretend you care Aaron.

This level of cognitive dissonance is exactly like JKR's "i never CALLED for trans genocide directly i just love making the environment perfect for it tho, not my fault if it happens..you have my sympathy" Sympathy is not a currency acceptable to those who are oppressed with your help, Aaron.

Are they threatening trans users directly? No. Trans folks in the US have been targeted repeatedly. That's awful and you have my sympathy. Within the context of a single post we wouldn't consider it a direct threat or targeting a protected category. Ie send trans folks to concentration camps.

Counterpoint: Clipping an object to someone that they: 1. Can't see/don't know is there and 2. Didn't consent to for the explicit purpose of 1. amusing/entertaining everyone else except the person wearing it AND/OR 2. making that person into a joke ... is actually really fucking mean.

Right or wrong aside, if being flea’d at cons ruins your day, you are likely kinda miserable day-to-day because that’s a pathetic level of emotional fortitude. Sometimes a topic is less about if others’ behaviors are just or not but says more about your resilience to external factors.

it was tv's frank from mst3k

i got strikes for saying shut the fuck up to a famous person

btw i saw several people get banned forever because they said iran had a right to defend itself or that gestapo members deserve....what they deserve

he then goes on to describe something called a "toxicity score" and explain why it too must be vague and opaque

there's a whole section about how expressing the desire for a trans person to be put in a concentration camp isn't a direct threat and therefore not actionable

wild that the head of trust and safety just posted a whole thread explaining that the rules pretaining to harassment and threatening/wishing/glorifying violence are intentionally vague so they can be arbitrarily enforced against people they don't like and relaxed or ignored against people they do

*vomits* So he's trying to build a Sibyl System for Bluesky? READ A BOOK

This is almost as humiliating as Drake watching Kendrick sing "Not like us" at the Superbowl.

I am sometimes a good creature! and saved money for essentials this month like busfare but... disability money is not great so ... give me money for eating out! I want a cupnoodles break! $CanidChroma (Cashapp) or @Amelie-Polyxo

Sketch for a comm I'm working on!

@transrights.northsky.social do you get a confirmation email when you sign up for the invite waitlist? I do not know whether or not my addition to the waitlist was successful, as the web page cycled back to the the application screen when I hit submit application, and I got no confirmation email

I do vote. But if you are gonna throw trans people under the bus during an active genocide on trans people, I'm not voting for you. I would rather vote for no one for a specific position than put someone in office that actively works towards our complete elimination from public life.

STOP MURDERING BLACK TRANS WOMEN

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

By this logic, all police departments ought to be closed. Hmmm... (and yes, I'm an abolitionist, no cops, no prisons)

Incredible headline here (among other things)

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

Refusal.
