I went to a literature festival event today and was very aware of being the only non-white face in a large tent

not normally an issue, but very aware of it now, each time someone seemed to look at me, thanks to this kind of language becoming 'legitimate concerns'

With so many loud unhelpful voices weighing in on the awful Manchester attacks this week, please read this piece by Zack Polanski.

โ€œWe can and must hold both truths together: that Jewish people deserve absolute safety, and that Palestinians deserve justice and freedom.โ€

A huge group of people are in a giant hole in the middle of a rolling field. There is a large sign with an arrow pointing to the hole that says "HOLE." Suddenly the group's attention turns to a new hole, complete with a giant sign with an arrow pointing to it that says "NEW HOLE." One person points to the new hole and says "hey look! Someone made a new hole!" The mass clamours out of the old hole and makes a bee-line toward the new hole. It's chaos. One person, now situated in the new hole says "this feels like how the old hole used to feel." Another person nods in agreement.

people who built bsky:
-trans women (bsky protects jesse singal)
-Black users (bsky allows rampant antiBlack racism)
-SWers (bsky to implement hostile age verification in UK)
-organizers and activists (bsky autodeletes anyone in gaza with a pulse)
-artists (bsky dev says AI has rights lmao)

Let me get this straight: Link, a Black user, got banned for calling out the Bluesky CEO for following a racist. Thatโ€™s not a good look, especially given Blueskyโ€™s historical treatment of Black users here on bluesky.

The cover for a fake Wii game consisting of both the 1988 Studio Ghibli film, Grave of the Fireflies, and Super Mario World; both are represented on the cover, the former by the poster of Seita carrying his sister Setsuko across a field and the latter by the artwork of Mario wearing a cape and riding Yoshi. The cover promises "TWO classics in ONE!".

Had a dream a while back in which I discovered the existence of the "Grave of the Fireflies/Super Mario World 2-in-1" for the Wii. It basically functioned as a DVD except for a "special features" section that literally only had an SNES emulator playing Mario World. It went for absurd prices on eBay

bsky ceo's crashout shows they can not handle simple criticism, so keep doing it. bsky wants the marginalized people that built this site to shut up or leave, don't give them an easy way out

Had the government said "as a mark of respect, we'd like you to cancel football matches, concerts etc AND protests today", then fair enough. But to single out the protest they've long wanted to stop anyway as the one thing we should not do looks like disgraceful exploitation of a horrific attack.
