BTW if you ever wanna commission an artist you don't have to have OC's or fandom characters- you can literally just be like "dang I'd like to have some more lesbian art exist" or "wow it would be real nice to see some trans rep in my culture" or "wouldn't a yellow centric painting look nice here"

Reminder: under no circumstance should you give discord your ID.

It is gonna -suck- trying to set up alternatives, and this whole fiasco is going to damage communities, but you CANNOT give them your info

Urge your reps to ban Surveillance Pricing and boycott any business that uses it. If it’s allowed to take root, you will be robbed for the rest of your lives.

Last October.

They can all be taken in a more abstract sense like time or conceptual proximity. へ is the most strictly location-based iirc. に can mostly be used anywhere you would へ or で*, but で and へ are mostly non-interchangeable.

で is often では*, also.

*(Except marking tools, eg: お箸で食べる eat with chopsticks)

My understanding is that the distinction is not at all time vs location, but is more about scope:
- に : precise
- で : in scope
- へ : direction (from somewhere)

Like
学校に行く : go to school (get there)
学校へ行く : go towards school (maybe get lost)
学校で行く : go somewhere at school (like a classroom 学校で教室に行く)

ここで「の」はちょっと間違わないっけ？「可愛い」など「い」形の方では「の」が必要ではありません。だっけ。(学校何年前覚えたけど、、、)確かによく頑張りそうな狐だ！

The weird branching stuff it invokes is A Thing, but using it to justify 1^z=12 for some z seems... nonstandard. There's a longer discussion there I don't fully remember. Basically, complex exponentiation depends on angle in a way that depends on how you label things.

Definitely could be AI.

For those of us who pay quarterly taxes or any other payment by December 31, this unheralded change in postal policy can bite you in the butt. This could have other unforeseen consequences (e.g., mail-in balloting), but for now, this is more timely.

If ai bros start flooding bsky the best thing to do is not respond to their posts. Just block. I've learned it's pointless to debate them.

The best thing to do is suffocate them by ignoring.

They are lazy and want instant gratification that's why they use ai..don't give the satisfaction.

A USPS mailbox in New York City

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later

Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

Hey #furry #artists, it’s time to leave. Like now is the time to break off hard.

This is surprisingly real. Usually it’s hard to tell if it’s hyperbole, but this is not. And if Twitter fucks up? Max $100 payout to you.

Only way out is to deactivate the account.

I use librewolf, someone else mentioned waterfox. These are both debloated forks of firefox.

Librewolf is community maintained and has more privacy oriented default settings; waterfox is still open source but is under more closed maintenence, and has slightly friendlier but less private defaults.

I really want to emphasize that this is a winnable fight, but everyone has to chip in in order to do so! Please dont sit it out expecting others to stand in your place!

And dont ignore local/state level stuff! As these state laws get overturned, the narrative behind the Fed ones lose steam!

They've added some since the last time I've checked this so, if it's been a while, I'd say do a quick rundown when you get the time

Got edgy stuff on Warn just in case a post is mislabeled/to personally check accounts

KOSA dropping duty of care is great but this article buries a very important lede:

Block, move on.

went through to verify the accounts on this list and yeah this is pretty legit and helpful.

Remember:

- they DO NOT CARE about your arguments/rebuttals

- they DO NOT CARE about your dunks

- the person running the accounts was specifically hired to drive engagement BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY; it’s the algorithm they’re catering to

This is a game, and to them you are data to be manipulated.

Bluesky is a wonderful place that has flourished in large part because of its artists and intolerance towards facists/Nazis. The Updated policy currently going into effect Oct 15 could fuck that up and we should be very vocal about it. Here are some specific things to mention in feedback (THREAD)
