Caro S. 😷

And let me be clear -- I wish on JK Rowling everything that she wishes upon trans people.

I’m back! I saw your messages on here & elsewhere—thank you all <3. I’m deeply disappointed in @bsky.app moderation; equating pushback against people like JKR with the harm they cause to trans ppl only enables more violence. I’ll talk more soon but even a day away from social media has been healthy.

it appears that @bsky.app have suspended the account of @jessiegender because a trans person saying "I wish ill on JK Rowling" is against the rules, so let me say with my loud cis voice that I too wish ill on all perpetrators of hate speech against trans people

reinstate Jessie, this is ridiculous

they should suspend people for wishing JK Rowling well, tbh

This is why I say many alums, trustees and academic leaders welcome the unBlackening of academia and are happy to blame on Trump what they have wanted for years.

History is not linear. The idea that its arc bends towards justice is a deeply religious conceit—comforting and inspiring but, sadly, not true. We just have to pick ourselves up and fight all the old fights all over again.

Checked, and it was racial fascism, colonialism and zionism.

Adding "Epistemicide" to my vocabulary! We're in the midsts of the largest organized destruction of knowledge imaginable.

Y’all remember all the COVID funding that was funneled into police budgets? I do.

As a friend once told me, the past few years of punditry can be summarized as college educated white pundits telling college educated black pundits that they know more about working class black people than them

this might be one of the most cursed phrases my eyeballs have ever alighted upon. ai is EXTREMELY neocolonial in the way its harms are distributed

@bsky.app @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team

Still banning ppl for defending themselves from ghouls while doing nothing about the ghouls. Bad actors across the board are STILL utilizing your systems to report black ppl, trans ppl, & Palestinians

Reinstate @jessiegender. We see through your crap

that sandwich dude getting sent home is exactly why white people need to access the wiggle room they have and act a fool lmao. fuck banging some pots and pans, got start throwing groceries at them agents.

remember when T&S lead Aaron got caught faving porn by a bot & banned the bot and it's author, instantly denied their petition and they weren't' reinstated until the suits logged on the next day?

oh also the bot didn't violate any rules but the bans were never explained or apologized for 🙃

Skeletor meme: Do not lose faith in humanity. Lose faith in capitalism and it's mercenaries who insist that there is no other way.

No donations for 5 days. Mahmoud just messaged, and he's very desperate. Bluesky keeps kicking him out. Please donate if you can:

Palestinian families like Mahmoud's are being starved to death in Israel's genocidal famine & siege. Please help by sharing & donating if you've anything to spare:

Het verschil tussen een terrorist en een vrijheidstrijder is wie wint.

Zeg maar wat Hamas de hele tijd wilde en toen als obstakel voor het eind van de oorlog werd weggezet.

Exactly. The democrats’ cult acts believes their brainwashing that tells them they are responsible for whatever happens by voting or not. But the responsibility is on the politicians to win. That means succeeding in appealing to enough so they win. Trump is the democratic party’s failure, not ours.

"Desire for harm" has always just been used by these companies to deprive marginalized people of a voice

there are a whole lot of people on this website with a general belief that cops and prisons should exist, who aren't getting blocked for their desire for harm

JKR funded a misinformed bill that is rapidly taking away British trans people's rights in public spaces as we speak, she has had shops taken down, encouraged doxxing and harassment, has been a direct cause of increased violence and worldwide transphobia. But heaven forbid a trans person be upset!

i often share this short video by @imanibarbarin.bsky.social about the Overton Window and why u shouldn't debate with fascists.

this is important everyday and especially now with that whole Mehdi Hassan on Jubilee mess.

Angela Davis! Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor! Howard Zinn! Leanne Betasamosake Simpson! And oh yeah, lots of books by me!

"The main takeaway — it’s hard to explain because it’s so simple — it’s that the thing should be good. When you make a thing, it has to be good, or people will not like it or engage...it has to stand on its own as a piece of media before the politics get into people’s heads."

"Let’s not talk to the same professional leftists and the same New York Times–reading people that most environmental and climate campaigns at the time did. Let’s talk to a mass audience. Let’s talk to as many New Yorkers as possible."

“Zohran Mamdani Helped Us Love New York. We Helped New Yorkers Hate On Andrew Cuomo.” Scrappy leftist organizers are learning their political campaigns “can succeed by being creative and speaking the truth in interesting ways.”

in this piece I interview strategists from the evolving DREAM (e.g. "Don't Rank Eric Adams' for Mayor", "Don't Rank Evil Andrew For Mayor") campaign about what they've learned about asymmetrical political campaigns.
