As someone whose lungs are messed up from growing up in a working class industrial Detroit neighborhood, this makes my blood boil.

Dr. Oz, RFK Jr. would say that it's our fault for having these chronic conditions instead of... well, racist environmental policy.

If you’re still wearing a mask, thank you.

If you’re cleaning the air, thank you.

If you’re refusing to treat disabled people as expendable, thank you.

If you’ve got Covid, remember it’s not your fault.

The compassion is in the effort. Your mitigations meant you didn’t make anyone else sick.

Work in progress 🌸

While I’m completely biased, I’m also CORRECT.

“Pretty Pretty Please I Don’t Want to be a Magical Girl” has the perfect balance of the magical girl tropes we all know and love, comedy, and action. It’s truly a love letter to the genre and with black girls at the forefront. 11/10. Go watch it!

There's a second cat enjoying the sun on the floor, and a third sitting on a bookshelf. The room is decorated with cat-safe house plants, fairy lights, and lots of books in shelves.

something for artists to consider with regards to ways they can help those in need:

What could possibly go wrong?

Radical rest is boring af, but it's necessary. Practice helps. Finding distractions that use as little energy as possible does as well - you don't have to avoid exertion perfectly in order to benefit. That's an ideal, not necessarily a goal.

The post discusses possible technical methods the US could employ to ban TikTok or similar services, such as pressuring Apple/Google to remove the app or initiating a DNS level block. It seeks opinions on how this might be implemented.

Nearly six hours post-restoration, DNS traffic for TikTok-related domains in the US remains fairly flat and well below pre-shutdown levels. Traffic from AS396986 (ByteDance) is exhibiting a similar pattern.

The #TikTok shutdown in the US began impacting DNS traffic (on our 1.1.1.1 Resolver) after 03:00 UTC (22:00 ET), with an 85% drop compared to the previous week and signs of further decline. A #TikTokban message appeared for US users.

When I was in San Francisco during the wildfires of 2019, officials were signposting where to get free masks and telling everyone it was very dangerous to go outside without one…. Why are our collective memories so short

Are you all posting TIKTOK CONTENT????

I saw this exact video on tiktok 15 minutes before the loss of connection message.

Y’all can’t be serious…

I don't trust anyone mocking people for being upset over the TikTok ban in the US. Saying stuff like they're gonna have to get a "real job" now.

When many of the people that rely on that app are disabled and won't be hired for a "real job".

If you’re coming from TikTok, I created a Black BookTok starter pack. I created it awhile ago and needs to be updated but it’s still thorough

Starter Pack - Bluesky Directory Recommended custom feeds and users to help communities find each other.

If you’re new here from TikTok, a few tips:

Jump in and engage. You build your feed by who you follow, so get to know folks

Alt text your images please! If you need help use #alt4me

Videos need to be under 59 sec

You can search starter packs at link below to find like minded folk

Have fun!

An image of a TikTok notification. Text reads: Important update from TikTok. We regret that a U.S. law banning TikTok will take effect on January 19 and force us to make our services temporarily unavailable. We’re working to restore our service in the U.S. as soon as possible, and we appreciate your support. Please stay tuned.

An image of a TikTok notification. Text reads: Sorry, TikTok isn’t available right now. A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can’t use TikTok for now. We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!

Pay attention to language shifts. The framing of problems & their “solutions” shapes narratives.

if you are sad that you lost access to your free video editor capcut, here's another free video editor thats really good www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/dav...

i think i just realized why i liked tiktok over all the other similar apps currently.

because i can just fucking swipe past the ads. i’m not forced to watch them. i can just keep moving. i can tell them to burn in hell if I really hate them.

that’s sorely lacking elsewhere.
