In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

Two Palestinian women against a oval shaped painted background. They are both wearing traditional thobes embroidered with tatreez accompanied by silver jewelry pieces. The woman on the left is holding a basket with jugs above her head, and the woman on the right is approaching her with a smile. Both have traditional dag tattoos marking their faces and hands.
When in doubt, Palestinian Sapphics 🌿 #art

Up-to-date BlueSky Crop Aspect Ratio
Crop Sizes for Bluesky as of 18 Oct 2024
By default, single images are uncropped. If image is too tall (Exceeds the 1:2 aspect ratio) then it will be cropped. Single images that are too tall may be scaled down but aspect ratio is preserved
With two images, both of them share a square aspect ratio of 1:1
For three images, the first image is square (1:1) while the other two are half-squares (2:1)
And for 4 images, all of them are 3:2
I came across an outdated guide on image grid sizing crop/proportions for bsky earlier, and I felt it was important to create an updated version! Please use this new guide instead!
