a good rule of thumb imo is never tell a person you don’t know very very well that they are … ……. Brave
Well this is so cool, I had no idea! Each flock camera apparently contains 2-3 pounds of copper, 1-2 oz of gold, AND a focusing diamond crystal?! So grateful to my friends on social media for keeping me educated 🙂↕️
Faine Greenwood@faineg.bsky.social · 2d agoIt would be irresponsible of us not to further investigate if each Flock camera does in fact contain a focusing crystal that is actually a diamond
every time you hit a flock camera with your head a gold coin pops out and sometimes a mushroom or a fire flower

"don't make enough money" is a fig leaf All those degree programs--social work, art, etc.--have disproportionately female student bodies. This is designed to make it harder for women to attend college--college education being a key factor in women's autonomy from men & left-leaning voting pattern.
The New Republic@newrepublic.com · 2d agoPresident Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v
Was trying to do an annual update, but it has come to my realization that Trump wiped everything between FY2024 and FY2026 from the USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub. @thexylom.com now has one of the last independent copies of data re: H-1B skilled workers in America's top higher education institutions.
The Most Detailed Maps of H-1B Visa Holders Joining America's Top Research Institutions
A new analysis by The Xylom shows for the first time just how much America’s top research institutions have grown to depend on the specialized knowledge of H-1B skilled workers — and how this delicate...

The Xylom@thexylom.com · 10mo agoEXCLUSIVE: A new analysis by The Xylom's @alexip718.com shows for the first time just how much America’s top research institutions have grown to depend on H-1B skilled workers — and how this delicate balance might be disrupted by U.S. President Donald Trump’s crackdown on legal immigration.
This is New Jersey. The ridiculousness of these cosplaying ICE Nazis is off the charts.
It’s true, it’s just terrible that JK Rowling hasn't washed her hands since 2018..

The road to fascism was paved with "Reddit atheist" and "shrill feminist" and "blue hair and pronouns". The vanguard wasn't the rabid reactionaries. It was the "normals", "apoliticals", who tolerate occasional sexist comments but mock the "cringe" of well-meaning and earnest but awkward people.
they don't want trans women to play women's sports bc 1) prohibiting trans women from women's sports (de jure) and men's sports (de facto) is a great way to otherize them as something not part of humanity 2) policing trans women and trans girl athletes is a socially-beloved Sexual Assault Machine
1 Flock camera per city has a detailed instruction inside showing you the easiest way to defeat Malenia, Blade of Miquella and Promised Consort Radahn in Elden Ring. Also extra gold. I heard that from my cousin's neighbor's best friend's sister.
Faine Greenwood@faineg.bsky.social · 2d agochat can anyone verify that every single Flock camera has about 2-3 Ibs of copper and about 1-2 grams of gold
Reportedly, much of the vandalism of Flock cameras has been due to thieves recovering the 2-3 lbs of copper and 1-2 grams of gold in each unit. It’s very distressing that people vandalize these cameras to retrieve 2-3 lbs of copper and 1-2 grams of gold.

There are also diamonds in some of them, and rare shiny pokemon cards too

fascists will be like The Noble Wisdom of our Ancient Past but then you'll open an actual book and the noble wisdom will be "snakes flee at the sound of the mandolin because they have no spleen, the organ of lust" and "electrum makes you gay"
Everywhere should be a hostile place for Republicans. They should not be able to find a friend anywhere. They should lose all their professional and familial relationships. They should be blocked from signing up to social media platforms, clubs, and yard sales. They should be ejected from fairs.
If you want to be friends, you have to stop expelling and terrorizing and harming and killing my friends. That's just a rule I have about friends. www.the-reframe.com/if-you-want-...
If You Want To Be Friends, Then Why Aren’t You Friendly?
A look at one of the most alarming and pressing problems of our age: the much-lamented fact that "the left" won't be friends with "the right," over "political views."

We can't solve a housing crisis without building more housing. Today we broke ground on the Casanova Residence, which will soon be nearly 100 affordable and supportive homes with on-site services for New Yorkers. Every new home is a step toward a City that everyone can afford.
truly loved editing this piece from @annaleen.bsky.social on how well-funded public transit systems could transform our lives let’s hear it for journalism that helps us imagine a future that’s not fucking terrible!! www.coyotemedia.org/funding-bay-...
A Modest Proposal for Funding Transit Instead of AI
In the ’60s, the Bay Area almost got a high-speed train from Marin to San Jose. What could happen if we dreamed big again?

Bluesky is a "liberal bubble" because fascist chuds can't get traction without algorithmic assistance and because people here trained themselves to block "debate me" trybois the instant they roll up
The Verge@theverge.com · 2d agoBluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
i think the party of sick freaks who want to inspect kid's private parts should be branded as such
Gillian Branstetter@gbbranstetter.bsky.social · 2d agoAn initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

I have long wanted to write for the excellent Bay Area publishing collective COYOTE...and they let me write something that honestly no other publication would. All hail independent media!!
Reo Eveleth@reveleth.com · 2d agoEarly on @coyotemedia.org made a list of dream bylines we'd LOVE to have on the site and @annaleen.bsky.social was one of the first on it for me. So stoked to see this piece about ~~speculative transit~~ and big dreams for the Bay Area. www.coyotemedia.org/funding-bay-...
