I am truly unsure why fireworks have been going off for the last 10 minutes in my city. It sounds like microwave popcorn outside.

My most woke opinion is that the whole point of society is to collectively help each other. My taxes should be going towards housing and feeding everyone. No one should be without food or shelter. Rich people should be contributing more towards this. It shouldn't even be controversial!

No! People are mad that BlueSky's AI automod regularly gets it wrong, moderation decisions/ penalties are seemingly arbitrary, and the moderation team has terrible comms.

"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.

This is an Eastern Cape giant cycad. This specimen at Kew Gardens is the world's oldest potted plant* & it is older than the United States.
I found this oddly comforting? Certain systems seem deeply entrenched & unchangeable but in reality there are houseplants that have been around longer.🧪🌿

Strongly believe that the ACTUAL purpose behind pushing "A.I." so intensely, in every part of life, is to play cover-up for the potential release of very real photographs incriminating a certain someone. So that when they're published, it can all be decried as "fake".

Target used to be my go-to shopping spot pre-boycott, partly because employees were the exact right amount of "available": Always nearby so you could ask for help (& they were very helpful!) but never in your damned face. This fake forced BS just cemented my boycott & upped my pity for employees.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

I think we need to stop calling it empathy and go back to calling it decency. It isn't a favour you're doing someone else, it's you proving that you aren't a fucking ghoul

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Democratic party leadership has been on autopilot for ten years, they weren't losing to fascism, fascism isn't popular enough for them to lose to fascism, they were allowing it to fill the void where their leadership should have been. Tonight we're seeing that we have other options. They should too.

My thoughts are with the victims of today's UPS plane crash, but they are also with the NTSB investigators who, tomorrow, will dig through half a mile of toxic debris to find the black boxes, all without being paid. Godspeed to them as well.

We've had a rough couple of weeks, between sick cats & hubby needing stitches in a fingertip, then my back & neck going out badly. So we treated ourselves to the K-Pop Demon Hunters sing-along show.
We were the only adults without kids, and I do not care. 😌 It was an absolute blast.

Out of curiosity, I looked to see if Chewy had a pet food donation program, and they do:
www.chewy.com/g/give-back
Enter your location and it lists area organizations, including pet food pantries, and their needs. Also seems to be a good place to start if you are in need of pet food too.
