It crossed my mind it might be neat to have a feed here consisting of Portuguese vtubers (I like the term "vtugas"), but a way to create such a thing apparently requires getting off the phone app and futzing around with GitHub, need more time.
I wonder if one already exists and eluded my attention.

Created a feed with Portuguese Vtubers:

It's still a work in progress as I discovered folks and they join Bluesky, but the point is to help folks find each other.
Thanks to @dorrel.moe for the help.

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.
It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.
Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.
Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

it's evident at this point ICE 𝘩𝘢𝘴 been trained, very well in fact. and that training is to stick to a very specific script:
-- claim any escalation of force is "self-defense"
-- label anyone who doesn't submit immediately as a "domestic terrorist"
-- block any investigations into their actions
-- claim any escalation of force is "self-defense"
-- label anyone who doesn't submit immediately as a "domestic terrorist"
-- block any investigations into their actions
The way the American government just lies to its citizens is insane. You could be at home sleeping and 5 masked thugs break into your bedroom and kill you in your sleep, and high ranking officials will go on TV and declare you're a terrorist and they acted in self defense

The term “law enforcement” should not be used by media, except perhaps in quotations. It has sadly become an Orwellian term that is used to magically sanctify violence. Language matters. Be specific. Describe individuals with names and ranks. Say exactly what they did. Don’t repeat fascist hocum.

Solidarity, particularly across race and class, is Kryptonite for authoritarian regimes. They can only thrive when their us v. them framing is adopted by society at large, and they join as active or passive collaborators with the regime. So the only response they have is to raise the cost of unity
They are telling us in unequivocal terms that if you show solidarity with immigrants who are in the literal crosshairs of Trump/MAGA, you're risking a death sentence.

all the talk of training and whatnot miss a very fundamental point:
there is a subset of people who, very simply, are racist, violent people who want an excuse to live out their racist, violent fantasies
and our job as a society is to do everything we can to make sure they never have any power

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

See the particular effectiveness (and courage) of organized nonviolent resistance with what's happening in Minnesota: *anyone* can participate, young and old alike, and so they do; worldwide media attention is gained; it's very clear who the antagonists are, so nobody watching can pretend otherwise.
Essentially, what stops abductions is when crowds outnumber the masked kidnappers. When people aggressively follow ICE with whistles and horns, crowds are ready to show up. If they show up fast enough, ICE leaves and a family is not broken. (People here understand the stakes).

i think "every accusation is a confession" has the order of operations wrong
people like Trump learn new words for crimes only after doing them
after that, it becomes a mad dash to wield the accusation like a cudgel as often as possible against literally everyone else, to dilute its very meaning

Hello! I once almost died of carbon monoxide poisoning. If you feel queasy and suddenly exhausted don’t lay down for “just a minute” - run outside, breathe fresh air. The space between “I feel a little weird, I guess I slept bad/ate something weird” and death is like ten minutes.
Carbon monoxide deaths spike during power outages. Many times, this is due to portable generators being placed too close to people's homes or run indoors. Make sure you have working carbon monoxide alarms. Run your generator outdoors, at least 20ft away from your home.

![Comic. My experience seeing the Northern Lights: [Graph: x axis is increasing time, y axis is increasing aurora coolness, going from visible glow on the horizon, color only visible in photos -> sheets and pillars of light, colors faintly visible -> “oh wow, it’s getting really bright now.” -> spectacular ribbons of color spanning the sky and illuminating the landscape.

This may be a long shot, but has anyone here had renal denervation or renal ablation, especially in Atlanta or Georgia? I've been reading some studies and testimonials, & it sounds like it may be able to treat symptoms that line up with mine (hypertension, spiking BP, vasospastic angina). Please RT!
