Fuck ICE

heads up to the american news media: I do not care what racists thought of the super bowl halftime show

THIS. AI is taking the lazy way out. I’d rather read something someone has worked hard on for weeks and has struggled with writers block and then gets a burst of inspiration and puts their heart into it. AI doesn’t have human emotion

The most important ad you will see on Super Bowl Sunday. You don’t “move on” from the largest sex trafficking ring in the world. You expose it. #StandWithSurvivors

My protest against MAGA and fascism tonight is alternating between the Bad Bunny halftime show and my SVU/OC rewatch because Benson and Stabler would’ve had Trump and his fellow pedophiles in prison by now

chapter 17! #eofic

You're not producing a novel with AI. You're using an algorithm powered by other people's stolen novels to lie and pretend you're a writer. Being a writer requires WRITING, you pathetic fucks.

Hahaha no that’s valid

the FINAL chapter of Casual is up now! archiveofourown.org/works/785536...

🚨 Epstein survivors release this powerful PSA in advance of the Super Bowl demanding answers from the Justice Department. This is the Super Bowl ad every American should see. Spread it everywhere.

Ewww I’m so sorry

I’m so sorry about your bad news. Hugs ❤️

Ewwww yeah that’s fucked up

Haha yes it’s nuts

+that that could be done that would help a lot more than just a ban which is taking the lazy way out and as the article I quoted discusses, harms vulnerable people.
Ok end of thread. I’ll go adult now

Definitely. Instant access to celebrities has caused a lot of problems and it shouldn’t be that easy (even though I did enjoy CM’s political trolling on Twitter lol)

+currently designed does make it easy to knee jerk react but the same can be said elsewhere too. Teach them that number of likes and comments and followers doesn’t determine self worth (I actually love that on tumblr you don’t actually see the number of followers). There are little changes like+

That’s so bizzare

+why regulation is important. Lastly, as this ban is about kids…a lot of the responsibility to keep kids safe online lies with parents. Parents need to be having conversations with their kids about internet safety, social skills, judging sources etc. they need to work with their kids to come up+

+are things I’ve been through, certain trauma that I’ve talked about more with people I trust in the SVU fandom than people in my real life. Because largely, this fandom is made up of a lot of survivors. People who get it in ways some in my offline life don’t. So there’s pros and cons and that’s +

+so easy to still find people even after being blocked and dogpile on (and bluesky and tumblr it isn’t. If I had posted this thread on Twitter I’d already have 20 people I don’t even follow quote tweeting me about what a terrible person I am for one of the takes I said in this thread) privacy still+

Right!

+the widespread misinformation that is harming critical thinking skills and teach how to determine the credibility of sources in this online world.

+be fun and safe if things are regulated well and designed for connection and not manipulation. No space is going to be perfect and the answer to that is not ban it but continuing to fix anything that is causing harm to those using it. The other part of that is education. We should be teaching+

+divided and addicted. Negativity means more engagement which means more money for them. Spaces like here on Bluesky and also Tumblr where it’s not an algorithm set up and it’s much easier to curate your timeline than on the meta platforms and X are proof that it IS possible for social media to+

That absolutely makes sense ❤️ and honestly I feel like banning it and making it the fault of the people using it instead of the super rich designing parts of it to be exploitative is just another way to not hold the powerful accountable

+I can’t speak for people in Australia or Europe where these bans are being discussed and enacted because I don’t live there, but here in the US I think the issue, as with most things tbh, is the super rich taking advantage of vulnerable communities and creating algorithms designed to keep us +
