Fiction

Lately I’ve been getting really into children’s stories, folk tales, ancient legends, etc.

I’ll be cold in the ground before I live in a world without George W. Bueh.

Tamer Nahed 𓂆🇵🇸 @Tamer_Alnoaizy BlueSky is one of the worst platforms I have ever dealt with. Within seconds of creating a second account, after my first one was shut down just two days after it was created, my account was closed again. This happened despite the fact that I hadn’t posted anything or followed anyone. I was only in the process of adding a profile photo, yet I received an email claiming that my account was “spam” and that it was “causing harm.” What kind of logic is this? The painful truth is that the account was shut down the moment it became clear it was created from inside Gaza. It seems we are no longer allowed to write or speak about what is happening to us here. They are not afraid of content itself, but of our voices and the reality we carry with us. Millions are spent to silence these voices and to erase the truth. I am exhausted by this platform and by how our photos and videos, which document real suffering, are treated as “violations of community standards,” as if pain itself has become a crime. What is happening is not simple moderation or policy enforcement. It is an attempt to erase our existence and bury the truth. And honestly, this is shameful and unbearably painful. [the original poster has included two screenshots showing the email from bluesky admin informing him that his account has been taken down for being 'spammy, inauthentic or disruptive to users'. it's the standard boilerplate you get when they take moderation action.] 2:45 PM · Feb 10, 2026 https://twitter.com/Tamer_Alnoaizy/status/2021234178461704409

palestinian journalist posting on twitter that his bluesky account was immediately taken down purely because he was in gaza. all palestinian accounts are assumed to be spam.

At work I’m now coding the equivalent of the joke about the economics class where the professor points at “profit = revenue - expenses” and everyone nods

Then again, maybe those who are motivated to learn new, obscure things and to rely on their own faculties still become a highly sought after commodity. /cope

That sounds like a total nightmare, but I guess it’s out of our hands now.

It feels like we’re giving up on even the prospect of doing the fun part anymore to make this problem way, way, way worse.

Life is a waterfall. The cruel cruel wizard must come and unslap my balls

Inevitably reminded of Wishes, Lies, and Dreams, Kenneth Koch’s book about teaching children to write poetry

There is someone watching me. I can tell.

Be seeing you.

True but we don’t talk about the creamer on here.

If you take a job that's too hard for you, don't kill yourself. Wait until you're bigger and stronger, then try again.
