If you're still on Substack, you're helping platform fascists and their enthusiastic minions, such as Bari Weiss, whom they actively partnered with just before her move to CBS. Go check out @buttondown.com and @ghost.org instead. You can even migrate yours subscribers and subscriptions!
What if instead of starting substacks in twenty-fucking-twenty-six people learned to give one iota of a fuck about whether they want to associate themselves with nazis.
hey boss. yeah i'm gonna be late again for my job in Myst world, where we live. i forgot which combination of the sixteen valve handwheels in my apartment opens the front door again
today i wore a kandi bracelet that says "fruity bitch" and has a series of rainbow beads on my wrist, a rainbow bandana, a metal cross around my neck, a black wife-beater tank top, and, ngl, also had a pretty severe case of "resting grumpy bitch face" and boy howdy, EVERY customer was intimidated
Is this a good time to mention how Bluesky head of trust and safety Aaron Rodericks (when he's not suspending trans people for being uppity) goons to porn bots? Or should I wait until later to mention how Bluesky head of trust and safety Aaron Rodericks goons to pornbots?

The guy they tried to stop in favor of Andrew “I’m a rapist who killed hundreds of elderly people” Cuomo. You don’t get credit for this.

I wrote about Ravenous preparing to commission freelance (yayy!!!) and realizing that means having to plan for AI scams (boooooo) www.weareravenous.com/ai-freelance...
AI Is Fucking Over Freelancers
Watching what AI is doing to the process of commissioning freelance work is making us depressed and angry.

Should be pinned to the top of every single intercommunity argument about tactics. In particular: the people doing the kind of direct action work that other people like to fantasise about online are ABSOLUTELY not talking about it online, are you high? Doing the work > masturbatory discourse
One final take: The people doing the hard yards of effective work, whether grassroots activism, legal work or lobbying, do not talk much on here about it. Because it’s difficult, exhausting interpretations are too bad faith, and the other side can see your posts. Bluesky is not the real world.

Cancel your NYT subscription and use the money to buy trans books
On that note: Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day. Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links. Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo

90 days, 15 hours, and 25 minutes, to be exact 🎃👻🎃 Happy Saturday
Let us do without soldiers. The joy built upon successful slaughter is not the right kind of joy; it will not do; it is fearful and it is trivial.
of our fellow scientists have an ethics problem. They think if they design something that then gets used to kill/harm people, it's not on them. I saw this firsthand at Los Alamos. My own boss said of his work there 'if there's a hell, I'm pretty sure I'm burning in it.' Stop working for madmen ppl
I got offered millions, a lab, cutting-edge equipment, and any collaborator I wanted during Bush 2, all I had to do was develop low-frequency transmitters to go inside a soldier's helmet to affect brain activity. The plan was not to inform them. I noped out so hard, I make lotion now. But many 1/
can we sometimes be asking "what qualifies this guy to speak on this subject?" or has that ship sailed
Anthropic's Claude is powered by racism. That's who Musk is running these DCs for. In exchange for billions of dollars.
The fact that it’s poisoning Black people is not seen as a negative to these folks.
WPPI is a neo-Nazi group larping as a think tank. You can read some info about it in an @anoncomrades.bsky.social dossier on James Kreger aka 'James Karlsson' from a while back:
James William Kreger aka ‘James Karlsson’ of The White Papers Policy Institute! Nazi Propagandist and Sperm Donor Exposed! – Anonymous Comrades Collective

The True Texas Project and Young Republicans are hosting multiple events in Texas next month with the head of a self-styled white nationalist "think tank," the White Papers Policy Institute. WPPI promotes mass deportations and "remigration." It has strong ties to major white nationalist groups.
