A screenshot of a tweet from Ludwig saying: a couple weeks ago I found out one of my oldest viewers passed away she started following when i had 100 viewers she was super active in chat, funny, and helped turn my goofy dream of being a streamer into a full fledged career she was also trans, and my community was one of the few places she felt comfortable expressing that in so today in her memory im doing a charity stream for the Trevor project ty to anyone who tunes in or donates rip kanabana

So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

Millionaire Tax That Inspired Mamdani Fuels $5.7 Billion Haul in Massachusetts A millionaire levy in Massachusetts that New York City mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani holds up as a model for taxing the rich has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing...

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.

And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*

Tax the rich. Greg Ryan in @bloomberg.com:

Basic light pollution diagram showing four different streetlight set ups ranging from more light pollution on the left to less light pollution on the right. The most pollution option, labelled "very bad" is a street lamp with a round uncovered bulb on top, making a sphere of light in the air. The next option, labelled "bad" has a tiny cap on top, that limits the upward pollution a bit. The "better" option is mostly uncovered on top, limiting pollution above the streetlight. The final option, labelled "best" has a full shroud overtop, limiting the light to only below the streetlight, where it is needed for pedestrians and vehicles.

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"

guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

Photograph of a woven blanket on a clothesline that features cute otters swimming among kelp and fish. There is a cute decorative border on the sides of the blanket that have seaweed, shells, urchins and fish.

I designed an otter blanket! Up for presale on my kofi this weekend. 🦦

Do not cross pickets. Even if the store in your area is non-union, do not buy from them.

Also, many members of our community are Sbx baristas. Between the strike and ongoing mass layoffs, please make sure to support these folks. A single missed paycheck can be disastrous for a food service worker.

The reason the headline is "doom!" is because when you see what's already been done, you see that we can do more,
which means things can get better,
which means rich people's "it's over, no stopping this, might as well let us do what we want" manipulation might stop working. Can't have that.

It's an infinite mashup of all the best food made by humans!

I love this.

Anyone wanna comm me? I need like 100 dollars….

Furries, we need to talk about something very important. With Midwest FurFest just a month away, we need to address the elephant in the room

For the past few months, ICE, Border Patrol, & other federal agents have been storming throughout the Chicago area, where MFF is located (1/5)

What the fuck do you mean emergency order

Sometimes a food is so delicious but looks so profoundly unflattering so showing anyone is like. Here's my plate of absolute slop. Trust me on this

More people have died in ICE custody in last 9 months than in the entire prior 4 years.

We hear of a few, but most barely make the news.

Cases like Randall Alberto Gamboa Esquivel.

He was in perfect health when ICE detained him.

He disappeared in June & by August was in a vegetative state.

Okay Starbucks has started the huge ass strike so if you weren't already boycotting, now is the time! No Starbucks for the holiday season!
Yeeehaaawww I love collective action

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

4 white logos on a grid of 4 colored backgrounds with a paper texture. The logos each feature one of the 4 clans from the hit young adult book series warrior cats. Windclan is featured on a yellow background with a siamese-shaped cat head silhouette with a spiral of wind icon replacing an eye. Shadowclan is featured on a deep green background and a cat head silhouette with pointy cheek fluff, glowering eyes, and a pine tree-style icon on the forehead. Thunderclan is featured on a orange-red background with a smooth cat head silhouette with a thunderbolt running down the forehead and across one eye. Riverclan is featured on a deep blue background with a long-haired cat head silhouette, cheek stripes, and a water drop symbol on the forehead.

my take on some clan logo concepts ⚡🍃🌊🌲

someone got indicted on the basis of “transporting antifa materials” for allegedly transporting a box of ZINES

THEY’RE PROSECUTING PEOPLE FOR DOMESTIC TERRORISM OVER ZINES

Rude Rude or impolite, including crude language and disrespectful comments, without constructive purpose. Highlighted Off, darkened Warn, and darkened Hide buttons.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Would really appreciate a few of these to get us back in the green rn

The nyt editors already have a biased angle in mind. They’re not seeking facts, they’re looking for quotes to fill in a predetermined narrative of bigotry.

Every nyt story about us is intended to spread disinformation and foment discrimination. The leadership’s anti-trans animosity is deeply held

A black and white ink piece of a couching she wolf. Behind her is the full moon flanked by spooky trees and rolling mists. She drags her claws through the foreground, leaving rake marks.
