I need some help. Got laid-off on Friday: unannounced budget change + my position was first cut, so it was a total surprise. Thanks to a tax status loophole my employer manipulated, I cant get unemployment. In short im SOL

And most folks here came here to escape Vichy Twitter, so we all have direct experience with what happens eventually with transphobic CEOs who let their personal prejudices impact moderation choices.

And how yes actually there are often direct consequences in "offline" reality.

The Jesse Singal thing is a great example.

In a moment where our federal government is effectively pushing trans genocide, his style of "just asking questions" is much more transparently dangerous to a lot of folks in the room than it used to be.

Seems like every community I'm a part of is in deep leadership crisis mode, and I can't help but feel that the broader political environment is putting earth core-degree pressure on every organizational fault line right now

I just wanna be on a social network where I can chat with my friends and express my thoughts and opinions be allowed to express the wide variety of normal human emotions 😩

The all-knowing bsky mods gave Erin Biba a 24 hour suspension for a months-old skeet about Christian Zionism, and I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that this happened when she’s been vocally criticizing Jay

Trump on pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell: Haven't heard the name in so long. I’ll take a look at it. I’ll speak to the DOJ. A lot of people have asked me for pardons.

Look I get that it's not sexy that the Florida facility was closed via an environmental lawsuit but Al Capone got taken down by tax evasion. Not everything is sexy!

I'm genuinely starting to think that the people who say they want to see American's really fight back are really saying they want a specific kind of visible, stereotypical depiction of protest, and have zero zero tolerance for the kind of groundwork it takes to make change happen.

YES! like, do you want us to fight using every fucking tool we can put our hands on or not??

If we need to learn one thing from the damn GOP, it is their pathological willingness to go "well that didn't work, who has an even weirder idea let's fuckin go"

i need y'all to really contend with the fact that there's people in their 30's who have only ever had the options of "trump or not trump" in presidential elections

I feel like I can give a very specific Mom Demographic Insight here, and it's that stay at home moms and especially conservative SAHMs often really push themselves to come up with a reliable, BUDGET FRIENDLY weekly-ish rotation of meals that can quickly and maybe healthily feed the family.

telling people that the reason their energy bill has doubled, or more, in the last few years is because of this shit is a high priority for everyone

Yes def one of my most-changed opinions from my 20s to now is that being famous to the extent you are recognizable to random members of the public went from sounding cool to me to clearly being an awful curse bsky.app/profile/ryan...
