The argument to make against the Bluesky mods isn't, "Pop culture references make death threat jokes okay," but, "Here are the thirty other obvious bad actor behaviors you *aren't* banning consistently."

For 2 days now I've had a right hemisphere headache and I can't tell if it's from external (barometric) pressure or internal (sinuses swollen and/or full of snot) pressure, because my migraine meds reduce/eliminate symptoms of both, and I got migraine symptom creep to non-migraine headaches ages ago

So I sent a friend in France a box of American candy via USPS First Class Mail, and after it lingered in French Customs for two weeks & they charged an extra 22 euro, the package finally arrived, with an extra item I didn't send. WTF? Are they just throwing stuff from one package into another?

The first time I was sent a transpo van for a ride to set was for Chicago Fire. So I came out of my hotel in a strange city to find a white panel van just sitting at the curb & part of me was like, "OMG MY FIRST RIDE TO SET EVER" & part of me was like, "THIS IS HOW YOU WAKE UP WITHOUT KIDNEYS."

Years ago I was suspended on Twitter for inviting Marco Rubio to swallow ten D batteries, which I don’t see how it could be a threat; he and I were not even in the same room and I have at most six D batteries on hand

Reading it now and it's SO GOOD (I'm at the third)
Truly is there any bigger joy than reading a friend’s smart, nuanced, passionate book and being suffused with love and pride and critical hope? I think not

Social media accessibility tools should include a ”trusted friend” marker, so you can designate people who can add alt text to your images.
I really need people to understand that alt text is difficult for some people. I have a TBI that makes describing things extremely difficult. It would be nice if these pleas came with ways to help create alt text, but, at this point, I get that certain disabilities are more important than others.
Artists PLEASE I am begging you to use alt text on your art. I want to support you and RT your art but I'm not going to if it does have alt text, and there are so, so many people who feel the same

Honestly I think in the age of cell phones this bet is winnable. Haven’t met a ghost yet who can distract me from a solid balatro build.
I always dreamed one of my scripts would get me a nice house someday.
Well, I just got offered a night's stay in an abandoned mansion in exchange for the rights to my entire portfolio. If I stay the whole night I get the deed to the house!
Never stop pursuing your dreams.

It's a losing battle, but I really want people to stop using the term "cabal" to describe Epstein's circle
The whole matter is already so tricky when it comes to antisemitism that adding an antisemitic term to your critique doesn't really help matters
But whatever, no one cares

To explain: "Kabbalah" is a term referring to a wide array of mystic practices and texts in Judaism, but antisemites have LONG used it as an example of Judaic secretiveness and evil
Ergo describing some evil secret group as a "cabal"

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.
