"engagement is low on Bsky" for the millionth time.

Then engage. SHARE posts. TALK to people. Do literally ANYTHING but "Like and Go".

Bsky is not dead, it's just free of Algorithms and that means YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING if you want engagement!

Stop bringing twitter drama to bluesky.

It's like digging in the trashcan, pulling out a wad of rotting food, and then showing it to people because you want others to be just as disgusted by it as you are.

Leave it in the trash. That's where it belongs.

I had to take my mom to the hospital due to an emergency related to her heart.

If you feel like supporting me, I'd be very grateful, given everything has to be paid out of pocket (we live in Peru and have no insurance)! ❤️🌷

I think about this a lot.

What this is (like so much in the publishing industry right now) is prioritising shit books by famous people that will briefly sell a lot then be forgotten over books with steady longevity by writers who've spent years learning their craft. It's money-grabbing cowardice & book lovers see through it.

"The company reported a net loss of $57.3 million in 2025 in an earnings report released on Thursday."

Bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

"AI, it's the future" 😂

Good translation shows respect to your devs, writers, and players around the world—and it boosts your profit and brand image, too.

AI slop translations make your brand and game look cheap and uncaring, and is a spit in the face of all the devs that worked hard to make your game.

I see this every once in a while and tonight OP gets to be the effigy I light on fire for this:

AI is the best way to make your ADHD symptoms worse. You are getting quietly addicted to the dopamine high of feeling like you got something accomplished and you didn't.

OP is ableist/giving shit advice

Americans are dying so that Kushner can make money

So Ko-Fi has confirmed they're not bringing back the search/marketplace feature. All discovery has to be done on your own, which super sucks.

For any fans of Ko-Fi creators, now more than ever, word of mouth would really help! It's free to do and can make a big difference for those creators.

this is not just selfish—you have a moral imperative to loudly remain on platforms that they are trying to push us out of. if you give up, if you abandon your platform, if you soften your work to satisfy fascistic prudes, you make it easier for them to weed out the rest of us.

"Fuck you, make me."

like, let's not pretend these people care about "rules." you were already going to just get banned if they didn't like your content anyway. "fuck you make me" every single time.

i obviously am distressed by the news but also: do not comply in advance

the number one response to fascistic bullshit is "Fuck you, make me" 100% of the time

A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.

The store is Mrs. Oleson's and Nels acts the way he does because he knows he married up. Hell Charles Ingalls is not who keeps the family afloat (in reality that man was a damned fool) it is Caroline's constant production of everything from eggs to sell to pies to sewing that keeps them alive

And I get why people think it happened. There was a cultural pressure to preserve egos that meant families didn't really talk about the pin money. Little House on the Prairie has an excellent scene with Mrs Oleson and Nellie about the importance of women having their own even in the 1800s.

It's International Women's Day! :)

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

My skin feels lopsided and inside out but this will still be a good morning.

We're no more than a few hours away from the next phase of digital propaganda: unverified videos of "liberated people celebrating" will go viral. Many of these videos will later be revealed to have predated the illegal war, or be entirely unrelated to current events

Upshot: verify before amplifying

Imagine being so bad at everything you turn Anthropic into the sympathetic figure, absolutely historic buttfumble artists
