Damn I wish I could get paid for 5 months of work while only attending 20 days.

I'm CRYING

nerd: hey fellas, i hear alot of calls for abolishing police. but how will we stay safe? buff shirtless bald guy on laptop: King, police abolition is not about defunding every department instantly. It's about a gradual process o strategically reallocating resources, funding and responsibility away from police and toward community based models of safety, support and prevention. The people who respond to crises in our community should be people who are best equipped to deal with those crisis. insanely buff guy on couch with laptop: Friend I want to echo that last statement and dig down a little further. Crime isn't random. Most off the time, it happens when someone has been unable to meet their basic needs through other means. By shifting money away from police and toward services that actually meet those needs, we'll be able to get to a place where we won't need to rob banks. jacked dude in gray tee shirt at a desktop pc: Couldn't have said it better myself, King! This is bigger than just police brutality; it's about how the prison industrial complex, the drug war, immigration law and the web of policy, law and culture that forms our criminal justice system has destroyed millions o lives, and torn apart families. Cops don't prevent crime, they cause it, through ongoing violent disruption of our communities.

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist): the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much. you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Ah, well, you see... antisemitism

Tips for Bluesky. +bridge +populate +setup feeds +communicate +moderate. Chibi version of myself in the corner.

Where to start: If you just setup a new account, it's going to feel a bit quiet. Here's some pointers to make it feel like home. "Be a Person." +Add a profile pic, add a banner, introduce yourself. (This helps others know you aren't a bot/scammer.) Do not use generative images for pfp/banner. This community is heavily artists and labels will tag your account and show you don't support artist rights. (in general... don't use unethical stolen data. Ironically or not.)

Populate. Time to follow and fill your sky with people you enjoy! Starter Packs: Great way to find people with similar interest. You don't need to follow everyone on the list if you want to vet individually. Skybridge: If you still have the bird app you can make it work for you. Use this chrome/firefox extension to keep your network. Image example of skybridge from web store. Color indicators will show if they are available. Chibi self being excited in corner!

I thought it might help to make a tutorial of how I setup my Bsky. Minus the image moderation, here are a few other ways to customize your BlueSky. (1/2) #art #bskyart

there’s this weird idea a lot of people seem to have about how all of us writers and artists must secretly want to use AI and are merely resisting temptation for ethical reasons, and like, no, it’s not hard for me to resist drinking the bowl of Piss With Glass In It actually

LEAVE THEM AT THE BOTTOM OF THE GRAVE THEY DUG FOR YOU

Who's in charge of naming animals? I want to know why Simocyon was not named the Dire Red Panda. We're not using dire nearly often enough when we name large animals. And don't get me started on the giant hummingbird. We could've had the dire hummingbird!

So, now that Bluesky's going the way of Tumblr, where's a good place to actually post art and maybe have reach? I know I don't post much, but do intend to start and I'd like to have an idea where to get set up since this is going to be a bust.

Yes this is the one I'm doing! Thanks Toby!

Thank you so much! That is very helpful advice c:

For someone wanting to learn, where would you recommend starting?

a tweet by toby fox that says "I didn't try to learn Japanese for a long time because I thought it would be too hard. But now I love learning it and I use it every day. If there's anything you want to learn, don't be stopped by thinking it'll be too hard! Try it! Game-making, music, art, language, anything!"

Obliviousness, entitlement, or just straight up being a bot would be my guess.

I'm a random internet stranger, but it's okay to not be okay. And it's also okay to let other people see that. I hope you know even if we don't know you, we see you. You're not nothing.

Man that'd be fun, you wouldn't believe the number of crochet projects I have. (help)

He gets a new face in every one of them!

What a weird titbot.

Saying that the violence of the 1960's did..... nothing?????

Immigrants already get taxed at high rates and have no access to benefits, though?

Okay but that is actually incredible how you did the light on the water and it's just /chef's kiss.

Newsom, what the fuck man?

Aaaaand he was one of the loudest voices pushing political violence. This is one of those reap what you sow situations.

Just try not sounding like a bot, bro.

Quick glance at their profile... they might be a bot?? They're getting more stupid with every day.

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.
