panda, the artful scientist

instead of doing laundry, i just call my local chapter of antifa to come burn down my neighborhood

just an fyi, saying i’m mean is literally terrorism

i’m not doxxing my comrades, i mean fellow patrons

Spock and Captain Kirk from Star Trek The Animated Series imprisoned in pillorys. Spock says "Captain, I believe these holes are less glorious than advertised" and Kirk looks away uncomfortably

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office

so is jay on a personal crusade against specifically black and trans people or just anyone whos mean to her

Worker harvesting raspberries

Erika works 8 hours a day harvesting raspberries on CAs Central Coast. She shares, "I must be very careful to only harvest the ripe fruit. This careful selection means that only the best quality berries are packed and shipped to the supermarkets for you to eat." #WeFeedYou

People who want to explore better options:

I know alternatives like Mastodon and the rest of the fediverse seem really intimidating and I know a lot of fedi users don't help. Here are the fedi users that understand what onboarding is and why new users need it.

Digital drawing of a mourning dove with an olive branch in her mouth, perching on a sliced watermelon. The background is purple, orange yellow, and blue, and the words “SAVE GAZA FREE PALESTINE!” frame the dove and watermelon. This is the updated drawing, finished in 2025.

Digital drawing of a mourning dove with an olive branch in her mouth, perching on a sliced watermelon. The background is white, yellow and blue, and the words “LET GAZA LIVE” are under the dove and watermelon. This is the original drawing, from 2023.

I drew the original version of this piece in December of ‘23. This drawing, borne out of a feeling that I needed to speak up through my art about the ongoing genocide in #Gaza helped break me out of a period of creative inertia. I revisited it recently and finished it last night. #drawninprocreate

"how come they banned link when he didnt break TOS" so theyre currently engaging in a complex maneuver called the Reverse Singal where they're rewriting the TOS to retroactively have been broken. the team is currently hot in discussion if "he was black and mean to me" can go into the guidelines

Update from Link. He said he still is banned despite being under BlackSky PDS cause BlueSky servers still used? :( idk

Just sharing what I’m told.

screenshot showing that i’ve blocked jay

i’m doing my part

i bet if we tried, we could make Jay the #1 most blocked

haters don’t have much going on, so have more time to post (personal experience)

i got no problem being bisexual at all of those genders.

*smirks bisexually*

A+ joke, i love it, thank you

*looks around the cafe i’m chilling in* these are some lazy fucking insurrectionists i gotta say.

By "commitments" I mean the stated claim that users should be the final say in the kind of content that appears on their timelines, that users should take up the burden of moderation.

Were this the case, Jay should've muted or blocked Link instead of suspending him outright.

What @jay.bsky.team and @safety.bsky.app are demonstrating here is that any move to demonstrate the hypocrisy of their public statements regarding the kind of platform they're trying to make, any attempt to hold them accountable for enabling bigotry on that platform, will be met with suspension.

So, what we're seeing is a disregard for their commitment to user choice and a demonstration of the kinds of people, the kinds of moderators that Jay and company intend to be.

Now, if you've been here long enough, the writing was on the wall, but damn this is a bad look after a day-long crashout.

Your moment of calm this morning, in totally unwartorn Portland. Cedar waxwings lit by the sun, preening on branches.

“Rainbows are light-feeders,” I tell Scully and Mulder, “or what we call photonic vampires.”

*rethinks my absolutely banger of a joke about being a dipshit*

sorry the pests are pestering

sorry, i didn’t mean to drag you back before you were ready to stop touching grass.

but yeah, The Fuckery is pretty fucked.

they could, like, actually hire people to run the social shit tho.

well that’s a fascinating way to meltdown.

wow, this is RFK brainworm level of bullshit.
