A number of artists and creators have made their home on Bluesky, and we hear their concerns with other platforms training on their data. We do not use any of your content to train generative AI, and have no intention of doing so.

For the newbies, one of the great features on here is that when someone has tried to quote-post dunk on you, hit the … and select “detach quote” and nobody will see the post or who wrote it and they will look like an asshole. (Blocking works like this too.)

New twitter refugees do not all know this rule and some of them are already breaking it but it is IMPORTANT. YOU are the only algorithm here, do not help jackasses gain popularity to do real damage for imaginary internet cleverness points

Spread the word!!

Right now, world events have your trans friends enduring a lot of extra trauma and stress.

Let them know that you’ve got their back - and it wouldn’t be a bad idea to see if there’s anything you can do to make their day brighter, too.

I love the badass feeling that comes with going into a motorcycle shop and buying a helmet while my husband minds my purse.

Thanks, @thejonconn.bsky.social I've got you next time.

deep space 9 is incredible because it’s about what if a shitty strip mall was an ancient religious site and also the pentagon
My body is not a temple its a deep space station occupying both a strategically pivotal location and also near an actual (celestial) temple.

I can't stop with the Moopsies and variations! I've started calling my dog Moopsy Doodles. Can't understand why @thejonconn.bsky.social objects to this.....

An important thread for reflection on.
Folks are really out here acting like they’ve never supported someone reprehensible because they managed to hide their bullshit from the public eye, like we’re supposed to be able to judge in an instant if someone is dangerous or predatory.

@thejonconn.bsky.social with Brow Raised™: "Sorry - the Satan bond people?"
"Eh, we'll go with that."

For context, my grandparents gave us savings bonds every birthday & Christmas and we're continuing the tradition with our niece.

Your past does not define all that you are. Celebrate your triumphs, grieve for those you've lost, learn from your mistakes, but know that you are not constrained by what has gone before. We are not who we were. We are who we are, who we will be.

You know… …I miss fan-made Star Trek music videos.

I never see them anymore, and they used to be a staple of cons to have them in competitions/showcases and/or have them on a loop between panels…

hey new users, Bluesky is a *public* social network

please read about data privacy and more in our User FAQ to help you get oriented! even though we require an invite code to create an account, you should treat any posts here as if it's a public blog

This is important. Remember you can’t lock your posts. There’s no close friends/circle. It’s still in beta.
New users, please know that the design of this site means (among other things) that your blocks are public and it’s very easy for anyone to collect and save everything you post - like nude photos.
Without much better messaging about the public nature of this site, Bluesky risks becoming an attractive nuisance that will put unsuspecting users at risk of revealing WAY too much in ways that can’t be undone.

Today’s while-I-work movie accompaniment?

“Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World”

I blame @thomasthecat.bsky.social , obviously.

In the early days of the internet, the only things holding it together was porn and Star Trek.

I see the porn (my lord do I see the porn!) but where’s the BlueSky Star Trek content?

I am tiresome on this point: a lot of the businesses that are collapsing these days (including many retail chains and media outlets) can sustain themselves but they can't sustain themselves AND make investors rich
Wish more media companies thought like this.
