300 down! 200 incoming, so 300 more to go to get up there safely. A bit behind because of power outages limiting work + new meds making me super sick, but I'm on track to meet the bare minimum at least. Mattress and such can come later.

your conflating a lot of things that are not related there.

I may finally be moving out of my toxic situation and in with some of my best friends. Short notice means saving 800+ in a month is gonna be extremely hard but, we're gonna try.

There is no emperical evidence that is a general case, that is a twist on purity culture twisting frankly poorly collected data. Sex work, like most high-stakes labor work, has a lot of issues with the exploitation of labor. Doesnt mean that the work and product it's self is the problem.

I will point out that bluesky is not completely non algorithmic.

leftism is a huge umbrella of political ideologies, it includes ideologies rooted in extreme utilitarianism and consequentialism ethics.

people saying just unplug/disconnect if it’s causing stress, anxiety, etc. to watch the results happen in real time bc there’s nothing we can do now … pls understand it is not that simple for so many of us. i would love to be able to stop thinking about it & disconnect, but i can’t just look away.

And even beyond that, there are a lot of systemic reasons why people are not going to new facts/ideas. Individual agency has a place, but on a 'general public' level and not individual actions, poverty, safety, and generational security, relate to why people reject the idea they can be wrong.

Very very basically, education is what we learn, where as intelligence is our capacity to learn and implement it. Memorizing what parts of the brain do is an education-based skill, and implementing it to identify a cause of behavior would be a skill that falls under more intelligence for example.

Yup, or disability, or any number of other things that boil down to if more resources, more time would be available, and more capacity to learn, grow, and pass it on.

Thats more education than intelligence spesfic, and even then I think most people are willing but have not been given the resources. And not just in terms of direct resources, but energy and time.

Id add on, that it's not even that it's just taught that way (it is) it's also that the average person does not have the resources to build on skills or learn, or even share what they know without noticeable monetary return.

its really not, its just that everyone has there own hurdles, and barriers that affect their broad intelligence, very few people don't have some subject or skill they show intelligence in. Talent and intelligence is far from rare though.

A screenshot of the Bluesky Altometer site. It started tracking on Oct 23, 2024. In the screenshot it had observed 18,880 images, of which 16,572 were missing alt text. This accounted for 87.8% of images missing alt text.

Introducing the Bluesky Altometer:

altometer.atdev.pro

This is an project #atproto that tracks image posts for alt text. It keeps track of the percentage of posts it has seen (since the last database reset) that are *missing* alt text.

The goal here is to increase the #accessibility of Bluesky.

Am genuinely just trying to figure out where this idea comes from, because it's not unique to you or even this platform, it's become more prevalent iv noticed. It's interesting to me because topics like this relating to sociology, especially digital sociology is interesting as well as useful.

I don't get where this statement comes from, the off-digital history is a common though skewed idea, but where is your age metric coming from? The only data publically available as far as I am aware has the biggest cohorts switching from 18-24, and 25-34

I still love this piece.

The Hazbin discourse is frustrating. As long as CW are there then, Art In private or public shouldn't have to just be, these perfect pure representation of things. Helluva boss is all about vicious cycles, maladaptive behavior, and the depths of the human condition, iv no doubt HH will do the same.

As a lot of places are about to experience unusual cold, so let’s not be smug about people scrambling to contend with it in places that lack the infrastructure to handle it because, again, it’s *unusual* *cold*

An illustration of Orin the Red from Baldurs gate 3. She is a young woman with pale grey skin, white eyes, and light blonde hair loosely tied into a long braid behind her. She has deep red eye makeup and lipstick, and a red bodysuit with many peek a boos. She leans over a glowing well of blood with a decorative dagger in one hand and blood dripping from the other. Behind her is a dark red cloth covering the wall where a symbol of Bhaal is partially obscured. Thin streams of blood pour from the ceiling around her

💀 🩸 Orin the Red 🩸 💀

If could bottle the dopamine hit a well-done AMV or general music edit, like this gives me, I wouldn't need Adderal. youtu.be/Qxy65nMO4no?...

Only you can see when you mute an account, others can't.

*long suffering sigh*

There are some networks of care, some communities, that rely on twitter as infrastructure and cannot simply pack up and leave lest they risk losing said community. To call the maintenance of these networks unethical is something of a privileged position.

Sometimes I think my fellow leftists have forgotten there is a difference between being a "centrist" and just disregarding the nuance and complexity of most issues. Being a fence sitter is typically bad, acknowledging few things are black and white, is important though.

This this this this this. If I could disillusion abled people of one idea about disability, it's the idea that when you get sick, doctors will actually help you. This is almost always an abject lie, so much so that we all pass around the names of doctors who will like they're magic spells.

Started playing No Man's Sky again recently, it somehow gives me a lot of Destiny 2 vibes these days. 🎮
