So this somehow racked up 100 likes. Behold, my bluesky legacy: telling people how to write porn dialogue. 🤣

ooo i vant to suck yor di- i mean vlood blah blah blah

An additional clarification: it’s not about Bluesky only, it’s about a coordinated effort Brazilians organised to achieve this on every social media platform

Agorithms never distinguish in between a fan and a hater, and anger is the easiest emotion to capitalise on, hence all the ragebait and right wing vice signalling It’s time for all of us to turn the tides and, in our respective countries, completely wreck the chuds at their own game

We, internationally, need to do exactly what the Brazilians did and lead by example with: 1) Block all far right figures/accounts 2) Never share a far right account even to dunk on them 3) Never reply to a far right account even to dunk on them Completely cut their algorithmic advantage

uchikoshi pretty literally said this too in that inteview recently and idk yall. if you view your coworkers as obstacles instead of collaborators maybe you're just a bad leader

NEW: I spoke with current and former EA employees to understand how the latest layoff round played out and the realities of daily life at the U.S. publisher. The short version? EA is controlled by an executive class that "cannot fail, only be failed." Workers, then, will always pay the price.

Who do I give to to get this in front of as many Michigan voters as possible?

1. Lose election 2. Assume Trump will steal election for him 3. Trump is flailing around and failing to steal his own election 4. Oh shit oh fuck

Brazilians recommending not to amplify right-wing talking points by dunking and quoting, as a winning strategy Next day, my tl is full of people dunking on rfk jr I literally would not have seen the bigotry if it wasn't for y'all repeating it. That's exactly what the Brazilians were on about!

How spooky #HatsuneMiku #Vocaloid

So much to say about Brazil, not least of which is the role that Erika Hilton, a Black trans leader and most voted woman politician in Brazil, played in mobilizing folks for Lula. She was behind the critical, concrete, economic promise of shorter work-week. theprint.in/feature/erik...

I think we underestimate the appeal of antigambling politics because every problem gambler is surrounded by 3-10 people who are absolutely sick of their shit.

Attractive woman character? Goonerbait. Cute girl? Also goonerbait. Normal woman with a more "average" design? Believe it or not,

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

I'm going to try to do this cleanly. Today's right wing governments are networked to each other. Those networks are well-documented. You can read about them in books. Following the elections in one node of that network is good practice for understanding the U.S. node.

I need to stress this part: Instead of letting our anger lead us, we focused on work and joy. Anger creates rifts and makes us easy to bait. But they can't take the joy of your effort when you're focused on doing your part and lifting each other up. Winning or losing, it feels worth doing.

anyway, if you're a US citizen: make sure to vote in the upcoming midterm elections! you can find more information about where you should be on election day and how to report any voting intimidation or tampering on vote.org !! use your constitutional rights while we still got 'em !! 😘

perfect, no notes

bunnys your cow

The more i see stuff like this from people heading projects the more i think that the ability to actually hit send on a work, warts and all, is a skill that is necessary lest the allure of "perfect" eat everything and everyone you love

The God of Bad Art gets offerings from all over the world, but in Their temple, They sometimes appear. "Why bad art?" I ask. "It is brave", the God replies. "To try and fail?" "No," the God chuckles. "Any creative work is a defiance of entropy, of Death itself. If you create, you do not fail."

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

start paying artists you fucks!!!! the potential of you reaching nirvana depends on it!

I think artists and sex workers should have a natural allyship. Both of us are often told we should not be allowed to charge for our work if it is at all pleasurable. Both of us are wanted for what we can do, but our work is considered not worth paying for. We should stick together

as other people have said, they wouldn’t work so hard to kneecap democracy if it weren’t a powerful weapon against them

A wrong lesson to take from the Brazilian elections is that voting can defeat fascism. That's not true at all. Democracy is an incredibly frail system and the US almost took over the country through it. ORGANIZED PEOPLE DEFEATED FASCISM
