🚨BREAKING: Google will soon install an app called #AndroidSystemSafetyCore

They say it's a "safety measure" to protect your #privacy, but in fact it's client-side scanning.

Yet, we all know that client-side scanning is bad: tuta.com/blog/eu-clie...

Deinstall the app on #Android: System -> Apps
"There is no prosecution at any cost." | Tuta
Germany opposes client-side scanning planned by EU - it would create an unprecedented surveillance monster that violates fundamental rights.

A little tip for Bluesky: find and install a 3rd party app. These have an edit function built in to the coding. I use Skeets which is for iPhone and iPad, I think there’s something similar available for Android devices. #Dyslexia #Dyslexic #EditFunction #AlternativeApps

It’s been inspiring to see everyone come together for LA,,, but there’s one community I need to highlight.

Not enough is being done for the black families after the LA fires. Ive partnered up with GoFundMe and the BMAC to create ONE main GoFundMe campaign to immediately help those in need.

Friday Writing Advice! I used to think I needed to be “in the zone” to write. As I got busier, I had no choice but to write even when I “wasn’t feeling it.” Guess what? When I look back at the pages I wrote, I can find NO APPRECIABLE DIFFERENCE IN QUALITY. Just write and you win.

I see that I once again need to remind people that constantly reposting Nazis doing Nazi shit does not convince anyone new that the Nazis are Nazis but it sure does constantly trigger the fuck out of your friends who are the targets of Nazis

Welcome to Bluesky! A few tips:

• Blocking works. Use it!

• There's no algorithm. Repost things you want seen.

• Turn on the alt-text reminder in settings.

• Set the NSFW filters to your comfort.

• Check your sources before you post!

• Try and leave bad habits from other social media behind.

The idea that anyone “should” write like anyone else when they are hopefully writing their own unique story is a bit weird when you think about it

If you voice is unique why can’t your process be too?

Also, folks: when I post word counts, know that I have journalism training and also my brain just runs a little fast. Everyone has their own inherent writing pace. There's no "right" daily pace. Readers don't read word counts. They read stories. Write at the speed that lets you write good stories.

@ fic writers that are wary about this site bc you have to post your fics one post at a time, there is a 3rd party site called blue thread that lets you write a whole essay worth of content and it converts it all into a thread and you can post it all at once as long as you've linked your BS account

There was a story that went around this week about movie studios' woes with "superfans."

A "superfan" is somebody who has attached their whole personality to hating an intellectual property they loved in their youth.

Full Essay: www.the-reframe.com/killing-our-...
Killing Our Way To Paradise
"One really violent day" in our morally underdeveloped nation. Supremacist superfans, Star Wars, and the popular insistence within a violent empire of owning heroism as exclusive property.

Netflix has utterly robbed people of the joy of discovering a show or watching something in their own time. Some of the greatest shows didn't find their audience until season 2 or even 3. For Christ's sake, Game of Thrones averaged 2.5 million viewers its first season. This model is so broken.
