Clover Tamayo (they/siya)

Muta, my gray and white cat, sniffing/blessing my hand full of multi leaf clovers. The 6 leaf clover is to the forefront.

Found a six leaf clover and two 4 leaf clovers. That's why I'm Clover (they/siya).

A pic of a tweet from itslulu_7. There are 4 pics, 3 that quote heinous remarks of a police officer after he ran over and instantly killed Jaahnavi Kandula. The fourth pic is of Kandula. RIP

Justice for Jaahnavi Kandula.

Well, I want a moopsy plushie now.

A clover patch near a sidewalk with brown leaves. There are two four leaf clovers growing together.

Just some fall four leaf clovers.

I'm smiling in a black barong with red ka Baybayin script in front of two steamer trunk bookshelves full of books.

Been hearing a lot about dangerous AI book scams on Amazon. If you buy from a bookseller, like me, I can 100% guarantee the books are legit! Just look at these cute steamer-trunk bookshelves!

Honestly all I want is a place online to be black as fuck, trans as fuck, with other black af + trans af people

& I want to be a thoughtful raunchy thembo

& I want this all to occur without violence or surveillance

& these fucking ofay tech overlords have made that a virtual impossibility wtf!!!

Honestly: If you want to ask how to get more Black people on here:

How about using your voice to push the team to actively and explicitly address their failure on antiblackness the same way you push gif.

Otherwise, dont come to me about invites. Im not doing that anymore.

The secret lives of Facebook moderators in America "I’m fucked up."

I want everyone to read this:

The cost of community moderation. Read this and realize BlueSky expects **us** to moderate.

For free.

This is real.

Meta’s Dark Money, Fines, and Dirty Secrets: Updating the Facebook Timeline of Scandal and Strife ... Since we last updated The Facebook Timeline of Scandal and Strife, Meta has seen major changes. While CEO Zuck hasn’t melded other minds with machines or uploaded his own neural network to the meta...

I've been refreshing my memory on why Meta/Facebook is one of the world's most dangerous, ethics-deprived companies. The scale of the crimes they've committed and the damage they've done is staggering.

We can't let this be memory-holed during the Threads honeymoon.

A useful timeline here:

Some history of blue sky’s anti-Blackness. Please read and catch up because this is an area the bluesky team has failed at. Many Black folks have been doing this labor and have expressed how tired they are, so now it’s on us to educate ourselves and each other.

Hey new babes: I’m the corner of don’t be anti black cause I can say I love you one day and cuss you out the next. In this household marginalized people deserve love and protection and it’s talked here, even if it kills vibes. Also cats are supreme. Also help mutual aid efforts on here. Ty

Hollywood Studios’ WGA Strike Endgame Is To Let Writers Go Broke Before Resuming Talks In Fall The 2023 scribes' strike could go a lot longer than the 2008 labor action if executives have their way

I was trying to be cool and professional about this strike, but this AMPTP “we want to drive them to homelessness” shit means I’m going to be dug in at WB Gate 4 like Hiroo Onada. They’re gonna have to send Ellen Stutzman with a bullhorn to order me out of the bushes.

Making one concentrated thread people can bookmark to be aware of things that happened on BlueSky. Others are free to throw in things that can be left out. Just posting articles I know of but to not have things scattered anymore (regard antiblackness , moderation,etc)

WELL, TACOMA COUNCIL WENT THROUGH WITH PLACING A COMPETING BALLOT AGAINST TACOMA 4 ALL'S TENANT BILL OF RIGHTS, WHICH WAS CREATED BY THE TACOMA PEOPLE.

And I just got harassed while waiting for my ride for wearing "all this rainbow shit." I'm still emotional from what just happened in the council meeting. I want to cry.

Oh goodness, someone just told the council "suck your decorum." 🔥

Tenant rights, pass em all. What do we want? Tacoma 4 All.

Later, gonna protest the mega warehouse, again, by demanding a Health Impact Assessment.

Agreed. Good supportive righteous healing vibes.
