I like that a lot of artsy literature people are mad rn that romance is making money and coping/seething by crying about how it can never demonstrate good craft. Even though nothing stops romance from demonstrating good craft

Tips: moving from Xitter to Bsky Before you start following people, fill out your profile! Bio, PFP, banner, and post at least 5 to 10 things. Just reuse your top 10 banger tweets—recycling is encouraged! This way, people will know you aren’t a bot, will see what you are about, and might follow back. Turn off NSFW filters in Settings > Moderation > Enable Adult Contentand at the bottom on Settings > Moderation > Bluesky Mod Service Find your friends from the hellsite using Sky-Follower-Bridge.devNot perfect, but it will find the majority of the people you were following.Beware of fake tools that ask for money! Follow a few feeds related to your interests. In bsky you choose what kind of content you want to see. You can pin feeds (into tabs) to the top of your timeline, and you always have access to the Following feed which shows nothing but who you choose to follow. Block often. Don’t interact with trolls. Don’t quote dunk, comment, nothing. Let them rot in silence, take away their oxygen and they’ll asphixiate. This is the Bsky way. Turn off language filters in Settings > Languages > Content Languages Or you won’t see posts from anyone in Japan, Germany, etc, in your feeds, even if they only post a cool image with no text. Weird, but trust me on this one. Uncheck all to see all posts. Fuck content scrapers. Do not let that trash overwhelm this site, do not share their stolen content. You can block them all with two clicks by going to joabaldwin.com/scrapers and on the top-right clicking on Subscribe > Block Accounts (I know, “Subscribe” is an odd thing to name it, but that’s how block lists work). Use alt text to make images accessible. Helps for translations, readability, findability, and users with slow internet. Turn on Settings > Accessibility > Require alt text before posting It takes time to rebuild, but the best time to do it is right now. Use your last tweets to tell everyone to move, then stop posting. Twitter is a Nazi/AI/bot/crypto cesspit.

It's long past time to leave the Nazi bar, and you'll have a much better time here. I updated this guide due to the influx of users fleeing Grok's new AI bullshit. Share widely for all the newcomers!

tshd rip off hmm

AI and colonialism stem from the same mindset: certain, special people should be allowed to reap rewards while displacing or disenfranchising those who did the actual work — and they should for some reason be celebrated for it, not cast out of society

3/ different pieces fit together. There also seems to be a significant amount of downloading government data onto private servers, etc, totally outside any cybersecurity regime. Additionally it’s unclear to the people inside whether the people doing these things actually work for the US govt…

"as expected, he was very sad about this" gee his wife just died

"This is a secret nobody knows!! shhhh!" Flug is split in two, hidden inside is a green apple..

am reading The Saga of Gunnlaug Serpent-tongue in penguin little black classics btw!

Follow🔶🔹...wallpaper available, link in bio!

This is my first time reading an Icelandic saga, but it tickles me how the narrators just say "and now X character is out of this saga." what a nice way to tell listeners that that person is unimportant and will never be mentioned again here lmao 😭

strawpage up! silencedhawks.straw.page

大家聖誕快樂啊💕

HAHAHAHA thank you!!! He’s like five levels into yearning atp fr 😭😭😭

- lmk if theres any misTLs! again, i TL for fun, my chinese is rusty, etc. etc. I'll do my best to correct it but don't expect full accuracy

Given the previous lyrics I TL'ed it as "feelings" but I realise some people may misread it LOL
- I don't really know a situation where you can translate 知觉 into romance, because 知觉 connotes perceptiveness. Similar to the phrase "I have a gut feeling". It's about what you sense/are conscious of.

- 执念 can also mean obsessions, but it usually has connotations of being stuck because of the past; in-context i TL'ed it as regrets.
- The "feelings" in this section is 知觉, not 感觉
知觉 can also be translated as consciousness, perception, etc. It's not romantic or platonic feelings or anything.

notes:
- the official TL in one of the posts before translated landing points 落点 as trajectories, but i didn't use it here since it's a slightly diff meaning
- "when will it follow my wish" is slightly awkwardly phrased but its essentially "when will my wish be fulfilled"

We say this every year but if you’re a fan and have the means, Granblue Fantasy Fest should be on your destination list. The sheer amount of blood, sweat, tears and love that is poured into every aspect of the show always makes us think:

We love this game.
