There's bad, and there's "an entire paragraph about academics included in the press release to justify keeping him" bad. They're playing the school card!

cowards be like that

Granted there is no way Campbell was responsible for any of the plays that worked

well I'm happy the last 4 years didn't see the funding and militarization of the police increase dramati—oh....

Objectively the right move (firing Wink should happen too) but it makes the Ohio State game so much funnier somehow.

welcome to earth, smol baby

start therapy now

If you want to support creators, likes and replies from a place of genuine and respectful interest are lovely, but reskeeting is the move. Better yet, support their work with M O N E Y.

Which means that on those platforms, for me personally anyway, a lot of time begrudgingly putting up with reply guys I dislike for the sake of getting more eyes on my content. But because replies don't boost my stuff in the same way here, I can employ better boundaries for my own time and wellbeing.

One thing I love about bsky not having an algorithm is that creators here are less reliant on engagement in the form of comments & likes

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate and enjoy genuine replies! But on ig, twitter, reddit, replies boost our content in the algo and replying to them does too (cont)

Who up thinking about the touch the feel of cotton the fabric of our lives

I will never shut up about the continued need to KEEP MASKING. As a disabled, immunocompromised person who still gets dirty looks while masking everywhere: covid hasn't gone anywhere. I know that most people don't want to hear this and want people like me to put a cork in it but this is important

yay!

This is why visual rhetoric is so important. If you just glance at this chart, it'd be easy to come away with an impression of fairly equal racial ratios, which is not what the actual listed statistics imply

starting from the bottom of the bottom, sounds like

I know very few people, in any industry at all, who aren’t working multiple jobs and still getting a fraction of their income from ten years ago. I feel gaslighted every time I hear the Biden administration tout The Strongest Economy Ever. for whom??? by what metrics??

I am a former copywriter who had steady, mostly full-time work from 2007 (when I got my first full-time job as a PROOFREADER, you could still do that then) until just before the pandemic. I gave up and quit the industry in 2023 when it became clear AI would finish what the gig economy started.
