I THINK this thread is picking up because a lotta folk didn't know until the Blacksky app that Blacksky is invested in using/supporting generative AI, like Claude Code. They still 100% associate with gen AI companies known to directly harm our community & communal input against that was ignored.

I'm of the mind that, if your gonna explicitly go against your own stated goals, you need to be ready to own up to that from the folks holding up and funding Blacksky @rude1.blacksky.team I love Blacksky, but I'm not about to act this ain't some bullshit drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Nothing like hearing the plumber confirm to my mom exactly what the fuck I've been saying the ENTIRE TIME And thank god I ran to use the bathroom the moment I heard bro, they shut off water to the house to get shit fixed and I ALWAYS gotta use the bathroom the moment I wake up

It's cold enough, we didn't need our bathroom to be freezing too, but I might have (thankfully) slowed the issue down that way: the vents need a deep clean bad, there's mold issues in the house right below vents to make it clear something going on there. Like stereos ain't sweaty enough for mold!

The more I hear the more I'm ❓❓❓❓❓ so lemme put on something instead of trying to guess on whatever the hell I'm hearing

creating this pocket of open mold exposure: you can see the mold trapped underneath the tile, discoloring it's surface like it's been burned by something No idea why, maybe it's cause my bathroom is bigger or my tub doesn't leak too idk idk, but it's not on that level at all in my bathroom

Hell, now that I think on it...could've been my parents bathroom that caused the reaction I had a mask on, so my breathing is just fine, but my skin HATES me right now and their bathroom wasn't exactly wide open to air out daily like mine I also have the AC closed, potentially a HUGE factor itself

@holzman-tweed.bsky.social

No idea if bro unearthed the motherload of mold or WHAT I just know my face feels like it's been rubbed with sandpaper, eyes especially, since he started investigating Wild enough, after going to my parents bedroom, their mold issue with the tile is FAR worse than mine Their toilet just ain't-

Cis liberals(particularly white cis liberals) only have problems with fascism when it goes beyond just harming the marginalized. Truth be told, what yall are dealing with now is only a fraction of what the rest of us have been dealing with the whole time(yes even under the dems).

Beyond a new rape allegation, the @democrats-judiciary.house.gov report implicates current Attorney General Todd Blanche, stating he "may have engaged in criminal obstruction of justice while acting on a mission to protect Trump," referring to an interview with Ghislaine Maxwell. Seems like news!

1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

I'm ngl I'm only over here cause I saw an Administrative Assistant role so concerning, it deadass made me ask "Are you trying to wife me???" cause it was that bizarre in list of needs Like, atp, I'd just be the fuckers homunculi 😩

Like bro, you don't wanna do this job, just move and let me do it

Every time I think "Wow, I am so fucked," I see something like a 2k petition signed by a person's high school alumni personally telling them to repent for being a rape apologist and realize I have GOT to lower my standards of fuckedness I would bury myself alive if this ever happened to me!

Kirsten Bladh@kerstanley.bsky.social

Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.

Idk what anybody I knew in my youth are doing and that's how it's supposed to be, I don't need the worst demonstration of my morality being what gets them to go "Hey, you're fucking ASS" in formation 😭

Tbh I've been wondering how in tf Vivek just keeps being embarrassing as a politician by default, I mean I was starting to feel involved in a scale of degradation kink unheard of atp I mean, I don't have any answers and Trump has done worse, I'm just baffled by his choices in existence

White people have GOT to stop having a "THEIR GONNA HUNT ME FOR SPORT!!!" reaction to hearing whiteness is fascist cause, to be frank, yal don't do shit about fascists in the first place and every example of the imagined horror of retaliation is shit white folk are already doing or did to us

View full thread

Absolutely does nothing to convince BIPOC of why any & all acts of self defense won't be necessary for survival when the survival of whiteness continues to demand ecological destruction, assimilation, enslavement, poverty, genocide, colonization, war, sexual abuse, and terrorism via mass shootings

Like white folk are still talking from the position of colorblind racism as if our politicians don't get elected on racism alone

It's very easy to fall into the horrors of your racist imagination of retaliation, housed in the assumption of ultimate innocence, when you aren't confronted with the reality of what it takes to maintain your whiteness at our expense And the fact that your grasp doesn't loosen when confronted?

Neither party truly less evil just evil in different ways, and some of yalls brains are so cooked that you've lost the ability to even consider that not doing evil is possible. You'll call others "doomers" for acknowledging reality but at the same time legitimately think good is impossible.🤦🏾‍♀️
