Really irritating how every other block list I spot-checked had some people who didn't seem to belong on there - so I am making my own list EXCLUSIVELY for transphobic troll accounts, verified by a professional content moderator (me) (tho I'm not getting paid for this)

"Noooooo don't impose a trans reading to this work of fiction that is simply about modern science being fascinated and disgusted by what it can create and dehumanising its own subjects even when they can clearly demand respect and dignity and then about how society sees them as monsters nooooo"

Working artists, you'll want to turn this sh** off on paypal, and generally get more strict about protecting yourselves from their censorship. Get more dilligent about ensuring your and your clients' privacy.

trump is dumb as fuck and a mark for anybody with a hint of charisma so there is a nonzero chance he comes out of this meeting and declares himself a democratic socialist
At least Trump is going into this with an open mind as a positive and optimistic unifier of the American people.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

I did, unfortunately, read the Forbes AI bubble clickbait article... until I realized that it was itself written by AI (which becomes really aggressively clear not too far into the article) and stopped.

As a professional content moderator... this is so backwards
You want reporting to be simple and streamlined for users as possible, with as few options as you can get away with, & you want to give the *moderators* one zillion options behind the scenes for granularity

We’ve expanded post-reporting options from 5 → 39. This gives you more precise ways to flag issues and strengthens the signals our safety systems rely on. Clearer reports mean better moderation and higher-quality conversations across Bluesky. Learn more: bsky.social/about/blog/1...

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.
He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

As a Black American feminist, I don’t see it that way. I see those types as being aware enough to see a sinking ship and trying to reach out for a life preserver. But I don’t trust what she says, I trust what she does. She still wants to be a Republican and believes in those ideals 🤷🏾♀️
I'd be really curious if someone better versed in feminist theory wrote about what's happening on the right. Because between Greene, Mace, and Bobert, we've got this bloc forming of women who seem tired of serving a patriarchy of sex criminals. And their rhetoric is starting to lean that direction.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I was called a traitor by a man that I fought for 6 years for. I gave him my loyalty for free. I've never owed him anything. Let me tell you what a traitor is -- a traitor is an American that serves foreign countries."
