ellocust, but scary

I appreciate all the people showing love and support to me. I’m so grateful honestly. It means a lot. The ban isn’t that big of a deal for me. I think it was wrong and the explanation was bullshit. But that’s ok and I accept. Social media comes and goes. I’m grateful for all the connections I was able to make and all the people I get to be connected with off Bluesky. More importantly, the world needs more people to give a fuck. More people to give a fuck about Palestinians, more people to give a fuck about disabled folks, more people to give a fuck about our queer and trans siblings, more people to give a fuck about Black liberation. The world, and Bluesky, is full of bootlickers who will do anything to avoid doing anything to upset the status quo. These people are cowards groveling to those in power in hopes of protection. I just hope people continue to show love and care and kindness. Mutual aid is so important. Give when you can, boost when you can. We only survive this together.

Hear ye hear ye a message of hope and inspiration from our courageous leader in exile, Link. May all his loyal followers take heart!

You know what was weird last week? I didn’t see anyone fired for quoting words actually spoken by Jane Goodall.

That’s what I heard. They are going to create violence and use that to justify canceling the election.

i don't think they should reopen the government. it's funny that they're already talking about figuring out how to pay the soldiery. your majesty the mercenaries are beginning to grumble about their wages but im sure it will be fine

That’s not even a spoiler.

For all intents and purposes the Trump regime has declared war on the American citizens

Because, so far, no one has.

this AI crap has exactly the same vibe as Chili Discourse, a bunch of bad faith shitheads trying to make nothing into something through sheer volume

I'll be doing my part by blocking every single AI advocate that crosses my path bc I simply do not care enough to sort them out

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims officer said 'Do something b-----' before shooting Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.

what if I do not want to see AI slop is that a crime

Hi there, Your Bluesky account (@carrion.bsky.social) has created a list called "Al Slop Posters" that may violate our Community Guidelines. We've temporarily hidden this list from other users because it contains one or more of these issues. - Harmful language such as insults or slurs - Unverified claims - Appears intended to shame or abuse users

the wise admins of bluesky have decided that creating a moderation list of AI slop posters is a no no

Ooh. My money is on the utilities. It’s the Republican way.

We are in a golden age of morons failing upward. Even inbred hapsburgs weren’t doing it like this

84 year old victim with blood on her head from ICE attack

Blood covering the middle of her shirt.

ICE thugs did this to an 84 year old peaceful protester and her husband. Honor First right boys! This is why I do what I do.

If the courts do not or cannot mete justice, then they have no function and are irrelevant except to enforce illegitimate state power.

You sound like you might be surprised how many people don’t like being surreptitiously recorded by antisocial weirdos.

Yes.

Yes. Great song.

Same. lol.

Once I walked out into a dock in the middle of a clear night with pitch black surroundings. I was surrounded by nothing but the stars and the reflection of them in the water gave the distinct impression that I was floating in space. It was cool, but gave me severe vertigo after a while.

They banned Link? Link? The guy who works with a wide variety of charities and non-profits to help basically every sort of disenfranchised person I can think of? That's our bad guy now? Okay, Pontius Pilate, I see you.

Libertarians go power crazy quicker than most anybody. Their whole political ideology is based around the awful and unjust things they know they'd do if they could.

I don’t want to talk about this because I don’t want to be a target

But on just a human decency level the person tirelessly deleting Gazans just permabanned the guy who uses his thousands strong platform to boost the fundraisers of literally anyone who needs money or mutual aid every single Friday

People keep waiting for "the thing," some kind of bright line that makes it all clear. There's already blood in the water. Clarity isn't coming anytime soon.

Kind of feels like feds occupying our city for a month, killing one person and shooting another while attacking neighborhoods with chemical weapons and kidnapping hundreds of people already counts as a civil war whether the Guard arrives or not, but what do we know?

The focus on the National Guard as *the* issue has clouded over the abuses being committed by ICE and other federal agencies. Without the work being done by Unraveled and other independent journalists, people would have no idea how bad things are.

As bad as the Guard issue is on a rule of law basis, it's clearly ICE's behavior that is the scariest IMHO. It's almost better the Guard is cleaning up trash and sitting around bored compared to some half-trained fucks flailing with guns.

In an Instagram post, veteran Greg Stoker, who was just released from Israeli captivity, said that members of the flotilla in captivity are being denied medication *including insulin.*

It is darkly hilarious that their response to moderation criticism was to highlight the decentralized aspect of Bsky then IMMEDIATELY prove that to be a lie.
