A reminder as Musk-bots, Trump-bots, and other bots start hitting Bluesky: blocking users removes their replies from your posts entirely.
The correct way of handlin antagonizing parties is to block. Not reply. Not dunk. Not mute. Block. It stops their reach and effectiveness right there.

Anyway, AI has already stolen friends’ work, and is going to put other people out of work.
I do not think a political party that claims to be the party of workers in this country should be using it. Even for just a silly joke.

I had 4 days off and by the end of that time I was thinking about creative pursuits, maybe even getting involved in my community. Thank god that's over now

I'm here to tell you it is okay to delete Twitter from your phone. It is okay to log out of it and not think about it anymore, not talk about it, not report constantly on how bad it's gotten.
It isn't getting better. Thankfully, this website is not that website! We can just... walk away!

The thing I hate about the "AI is democratizing art" argument is that art has always been democratized. That's what ""bad"" art is. You think I would *choose* to draw like this? No, my body cannot extend all the way to grasp the divine. And so we get to see the roadmaps we take that get us elsewhere

At some point, if all goes well, you stop taking pride in arcane knowledge about niche topics and you start taking pleasure in sharing your passion with as many people who are obviously interested as possible. Our time here to learn and live is brutally short. Don't keep gates. Hold them open. Wide.

Yeah! The worst thing we can do is capitulate to this bullshit in advance - do not let the Right's goofy fearmongering control the room, friends. They want us freaked out and inactive: it's how they draw power.
Seeing a dangerous "Project 2025 will end all good things anyway" narrative. The fearmongering about it was done for obvious reasons, and all that isn't wrong, but 1) It won't be implemented overnight, and a lot of it won't be implemented at all, and 2) We organize and fight back regardless.

Don’t just survive, create. Create loudly. Make every ugly thing your heart endures into something that can’t be ignored. Share it, sell it, make it known. Do everything the people who will try to stop you these next 4 years hate, and don’t let up. Never give up. Resist.
