You're using "talks about a topic" as a euphemism for "defends the pedophilia of a convicted pedophile and child trafficker," and the "threat" you're talking about can only be construed as such if you create context that isn't there.

next time your staff gets in a tizzy over it's 'overly angry userbase' for the tenth time maybe think about abhorrent things like this where you defend someone justifying unspeakable acts done to children from the horrors of 'a comedian referencing a scene from fargo' and try to put 2 and 2 together

Every time you post, I feel less safe. Every time.

And, as for trust...well no, there is none.

You might spend some time considering that, instead of lashing out at abuse survivors.

Crips for eSims for Gaza Crips for eSims for Gaza is a collaboration between Jane Shi, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, and Alice Wong.

Another example of the disability visibility advocacy Alice Wong worked on: she was a vocal supporter of Palestinians and refugees, because Palestinians' and refugees' rights are also disability rights.

She co-organized the ongoing important Crips for eSims campaign

This is almost as bad, and in some ways way worse, than "what's a computer?"

“just to be clear you *CAN* have horrible opinions and say horrible stuff on here, just be careful not to say anything mean about awful people that could be construed in the loosest possible way as a threat - that puts our money at risk and we will ban you”

He's the dude who fucked Twitter up originally.

As a victim of CSA and sex trafficking the fact that @jay.bsky.team and @aaron.bsky.team are fine with suspending people who speak out against CSA and abusers like totes gives off Mundus sine caesaribus vibes. ✨
Great job girly pops.

After the insurrection, there were bipartisan J6 hearings held, and two of the most influential leaders were Republicans. ALL of the witnesses were Republicans. People stood up. People defected. Nothing happened. He held a 4 year shadow presidency & the movement strengthened.

Again, this is outrageous.

I find this particular bit to be one of the most exhausting recurring gags on the internet but it genuinely does seem like a lot of men were emailing sex criminal Jeffery Epstein in lieu of going to therapy

I really don't like systems that force libraries to pay-per-use and I wish libraries themselves were more upfront with users about how much every movie you take out from Hoopla or Kanopy is costing the library.

It is wild to watch people dispute this, lol

This is an incredible story, re: Prince. 💜💜💜

This is interesting coming from him because he subtracted his entire audience on this platform with 40 million people on it because a few people asked him some critical questions in the comments.

I'd actually argue that Summers' has such extreme biases when it comes to race and gender, that his expertise is suss.

Alice in her own words: bsky.app/profile/thra...

Black text on a yellow background - This is Alice's friend Sandy Ho, posting. Per Alice's wishes, this message is being shared at the time of her passing. Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine I would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin. We need more stories about us and our culture. You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.

“Don’t let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.”

Steven and Alice smiling and holding each other’s books

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

Joe Hill said, “Don’t mourn, organize.” I would hope we can do both. RIP Alice Wong.

Remembering when people told me in late 2024 that "Trump couldn't create his own police force because federalism" mmhmm

Are you suggesting you would do something if such a thing happened to me? Because historically, that has not been the case. When someone sends me horrible shit I don't deserve, I always get told that upon review, antisemitic slurs and telling me to kill myself technically aren't against the rules.

Also, for fun, I shall ask this survivor a question and then tell them what their answer is. This is perfect and has no flaws. I am very good at my job.

Hahaha I also see other accounts from people with access to lawyers threatening literal murder. That's fine. But THIS survivor is gonna feel it. 👍

Aaron, to himself: I wish to issue thoughts about this thing that hasn't directly affected me. Instead of responding to one of the hundred threads about this by people who also haven't been directly affected, I will choose a victim and survivor to do it on, because I'm the smartest birthday boy.

You should definitely keep posting through this, you’re doing great, can’t think of a single counter argument that would reveal this to be a lie.

Now I’m gonna take a big sip of water and check out what the Dept. Of War is posting.

It is neither accident nor morally correct to frame this issue from the perspective of the monster rather than the victim. It reveals you see yourself as being more likely to fall into the first rather than second category and want to consider the issue from what monsters rather than victims want.

gonna be honest, if the bsky moderation team's response to "this topic" is to say you support someone defending CSA, and that you don't think they should have public repercussions for their words, i have some really extreme concerns about your platform being allowed to have children on it at all.
