Been hearing a lot about dangerous AI book scams on Amazon. If you buy from a bookseller, like me, I can 100% guarantee the books are legit! Just look at these cute steamer-trunk bookshelves!

Honestly: If you want to ask how to get more Black people on here:

How about using your voice to push the team to actively and explicitly address their failure on antiblackness the same way you push gif.

Otherwise, dont come to me about invites. Im not doing that anymore.

I want everyone to read this:

The cost of community moderation. Read this and realize BlueSky expects **us** to moderate.

For free.

This is real.

I've been refreshing my memory on why Meta/Facebook is one of the world's most dangerous, ethics-deprived companies. The scale of the crimes they've committed and the damage they've done is staggering.

We can't let this be memory-holed during the Threads honeymoon.

Some history of blue sky’s anti-Blackness. Please read and catch up because this is an area the bluesky team has failed at. Many Black folks have been doing this labor and have expressed how tired they are, so now it’s on us to educate ourselves and each other.
Making one concentrated thread people can bookmark to be aware of things that happened on BlueSky. Others are free to throw in things that can be left out. Just posting articles I know of but to not have things scattered anymore (regard antiblackness , moderation,etc)

Hey new babes: I’m the corner of don’t be anti black cause I can say I love you one day and cuss you out the next. In this household marginalized people deserve love and protection and it’s talked here, even if it kills vibes. Also cats are supreme. Also help mutual aid efforts on here. Ty

I was trying to be cool and professional about this strike, but this AMPTP “we want to drive them to homelessness” shit means I’m going to be dug in at WB Gate 4 like Hiroo Onada. They’re gonna have to send Ellen Stutzman with a bullhorn to order me out of the bushes.

And I just got harassed while waiting for my ride for wearing "all this rainbow shit." I'm still emotional from what just happened in the council meeting. I want to cry.
