It was nice when social media only showed you posts from your actual friends/mutuals and not 500x more sponsored or suggested ones instead… trying to keep up with real people through the distance is a lot harder now

Most of the SDCC book panels from this year are now up on YouTube!!! Thank you @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social 🫢πŸ₯°πŸ«Ά having to miss this year hurts less thanks to your accessibility efforts

Rage bait. I care about CCI too and value what they’ve done. I was posing the question in both personal sorrow but good faith in waiting for a future I think they’ll get onboard with some day.

Also, many book panels are recorded by publishers, which is another factor in my questioning and desires because there is already a successful model for panel broadcasting. We could’ve had a good discussion abt accessibility futures if you’d approached me as a human instead of keyword searching for

You were being rude because you decided to make assumptions about me as if I’m some armchair critic instead of someone asking about why accessibility accommodations haven’t progressed. Your initial comment could’ve been constructive dialogue.

I am a local who has been going to SDCC for over 20 years. Because of great personal trauma & financial hardship this year I am unable to go and would appreciate an alternative way to enjoy the community events and gatherings I have long β€˜been in the sun to burn’ for. You are extremely fucking rude.

We lost Bruno yesterday to a horrific, weeklong pancreatitis flare-up, a condition we didn’t know he had. He passed after a rollercoaster few days in the hospital where he went into respiratory distress from IV fluids built up around the lungs. I am in such despair &we feel the emptiness. RIP bubbaπŸ’”

Was on a trip in May and may have forgotten to reactivate my Twitter in time to avoid account loss after 30 day deactivation. πŸ˜… Apologies for being MIA, hope everyone is well!

These Tech Firms Won’t Tell Us If They Will Help Trump Deport Immigrants The Intercept asked data companies that store personal data if they will help Trump conduct mass deportations. Few had anything to say.

I get frustrated with the idea that creative pursuits like writing and art are generally considered β€œpassions” and not β€œjobs”, cuz that’s how the world sets them up to be underfunded & underappreciated, and still act like they’re doing creators a favor by paying for it.

We are tradespeople. Period.

I know I'm naive but my brain gets stuck on all the venture capital freaks and billionaires buying up media outlets and then kerploding them the moment they decide the numbers won't go up fast enough, like they totally skip a step of "try to sell a product" as if that's not even part of the equation

slowly losing the amount of social media accounts I have left where I don’t have to face the horror of knowing I’m friends or mutuals with people who exist in an entirely different or void ethical sphere that appalls me. every deactivation feels so heavy

People ask how we are expected to live and work every day when all this is happening, and I don’t really think we should be acting normal? I don’t care about vacation posts or whatever? I just want to see the voices who need the world to listen be uplifted until the world fights back.

On break from most socials at the moment (fyi if you’ve seen me disappear). I need a break, but am also not really interested in seeing posts about anything that ignores the reality & suffering being lived through in this moment. Platforms feel really strange right now.
