In this short essay, @lmsacasas.bsky.social provides a useful checklist for recognizing the Borg complex, and for
deconstructing “manufactured inevitability.” A sort of guide for responding to the “banality of evil” as wonderfully captured by Arendt.

so much to be said about the language of implication and how a safe space is formed when an identity can be formed outside of white society. i think queer people can relate to this

Wild part about this is, even men have told these goofballs "if you make sure she knows she's safe, she will give you the world." They can't. They aren't safe themselves.
Klay is getting catered to all without trying to change her and make her submissive. All he had to do was make her feel loved, secured and seen.

On BlueSky moderation…a topic I’m always interested to read about…
it's a constant problem with moderation partially related to staffing partially related to people not wanting to provide a lot of detail because they don't want to have people lawyering the ins and outs of policy.
