A stylized self portrait. I am a dark skinned black person with large round glasses, a rectangular smile, and crooked front teeth. I am drawn with a green quarter zip over a yellow t shirt. The background of the image is also bright yellow, with red and green apples surrounding me.

An illustration commemmorating the 20th anniversary of Halcali Bacon. Featured are Halca and Yucali in matching orange jumpsuits sitting on top of a cartoonishly large fast food container, holding up peace signs. Behind them is a variety of fast food utensils in blue, bright green, and white. The title says “HALCALI BACON” in bright orange, and the subtitle text says “まずは PEACE, UNITY, LOVE, そして HAVIN’ FUN!” in dark green. In the background is a pattern of dancing chibi girls outlined in blue, on a white backdrop.

A black person with blue twists and green eyes, with a piercing stare. She's wearing a puffy yellow dress with pink trim, and her hands folded under her chin. The background is blue with a spread of pink hearts.

A painting of Trucy Wright from the Ace Attorney franchise. She is laying upside down on her bed, in a baggy blue t-shirt and red shorts, holding a book and smiling at the user. Trucy has tan skin, dark blue eyes, and wavy brown hair tied back into a loose ponytail. Her hair dangles off of the bed, which is blue and purple covered in a rabbit pattern, onto a pink beanbag chair beneath her. Across her bed, there's also her showtime outfit, a plush rabbit, and her magic hat. The floor of the room has a blue shag carpet, with other books and playing cards strewn along the floor. On the wall, there is a Gavinners poster above her bedframe, and on the wall adjacent to the bed, there's a large bay window looking out onto the bright Japanifornia skyline.

I recommend moving your data (PDS) to something more reasonable like Blacksky. Instructions are on tektite.cc, but it's basically log in and let the tool run.

You can easily get an myatproto.social handle and use blacksky.community just as you would bsky.app, not putting your data through bsky.

reminder that you don't solely have to *move* to Blacksky.
you can also *start* on Blacksky by creating a new account at blacksky.community

for those interested in helping us build the intercommunal net.

i'm not an anomaly

there are other larger creators than myself who feel similarly as me now and bluesky pbllc has ruined any/all good will bc of jay + paul's statements

my voice should be helping people move to bluesky from twitter and instagram; not moving people off bluesky to another PDS

Our entire understanding of how movies are made, who makes them, who's in them, their structure, and how we judge them as art is WHITE.

So if you want good Black movies. Or good movies made by anyone not white. Then you have to shelve the entire infrastructure that's fueling your expectations.

There’s a free application, shutup10++, that lets you disable all the shitty windows stuff with a series of checkboxes.
It even tracks if windows rolls anything back between updates and lets you reverse the changes with a click.
I can personally recommend shutup10++ if you need to stick with windows
