The sad reality is that a good number of such people, specifically those who are openly hateful, just won't.

People shouldn’t be forced through a degrading & dehumanizing process to receive disability assistance

They shouldn’t be treated as a fake, a burden and an undesirable just to get a benefit that keeps them in legislated poverty

Everyone deserves a living wage, food, housing & healthcare

Everyone.

Exploiting Smalton's size to deliver many things without using up a lot of resources is how I racked up funds. That, and an intercity delivery or two.

This morning I ran the NYC Gaza 5K in Prospect Park for the third time, alongside the Harlem Run Club, to raise money for @unrwausa.bsky.social, which delivers critical humanitarian aid and services to Palestinians in Gaza.

I hope you'll join me in donating: unrwausa.org

We’ve reported extensively on how the FDA allowed foreign drugmakers to send generic medications to the U.S. from factories with filthy labs and contaminated equipment.

This month, we’re digging deeper and could use your help. THREAD/

The term "terminally online" trivializes terminal illnesses. Please do better.

I'm sorry that they put you through all of those negative experiences.

It's sad to have to say, but I'm not surprised that stuff like that happens in the official parts of this community, considering that basic accessibility features like FOV and color blindness-related settings took years to add.

I'll never forgive generative a.i

Having to ask "is this real?" so often has really done a number on me

I miss being able to trust art.

They've used it to conceptualize promotional art: youtu.be/ydZX61uhHYg?....

And, they're doubling down on the usage of it, as indicated by their job listing for a generative AI specialist: bsky.app/profile/nerd....

A paragraph made up of white text that's in front of a dark-grey background reads:

"To BHVR's credit, the ability for Killers to see Survivors' hook phases has since been added to DbD (for now). That said, BHVR still deserves to be criticized for taking so long to make DbD more accessible time and time again."

All mentions of the abbreviated title of the video-game Dead by Daylight are italicized in this image.

White text that's in front of a dark-grey background reads:

"ALT: In this clip from the video-game A Few Quick Matches, the spellcaster-hat-wearing lavender stick figure named Eureka, whom I am controlling, combos to death Rend, the red stick figure wielding a silver two-handed sword, whom my opponent is controlling. Their fight takes place in a low-poly forested area that has 'Dim theme' color choices."
