i feel like this so much. i love all of the friends ive made on here but being on social media nowadays either feels like living in a panopticon or living in a dying village

⚠️The Violence Series⚠️ @violenceseries.bsky.social · 5h

gamers HATE this

designed with gamers in mind: cautionne sneering and pointing a gun down at the camera
designed with activists in mind: pavel as a root vegetable. a paveloid.

Look at Rawan go. She's learning about clotting and bleeding- two pillars of lifesaving emergency medicine. She is an asset to her family and her community. Her family and community need her. Please donate if you can. On top of continuing her education she now needs blankets and winter clothing.

raaawaaan.bsky.social @raaawaaan.bsky.social · 2d

Despite the bombing and difficult circumstances,I still cling to science.Yesterday, I explained how bleeding occurs,and today I am learning more so that I may one day be able to save lives،I will keep going no matter the pain.With your support,I can continue on my path toward my dream.🫂

ACK sorry for the late response — ive played both and their gameplay is solidly built, yes! for my own purposes, i was thinking fast-paced minigames…

thank you for helping though - i really appreciate it.

im glad you had a good(?) time with bad faith! thank you for playing.

i’d love for you to check out the violence series too — i think my work on those games is even better. :3c

this is my issue with her yes. dance anthem of the 80s and us are all time favs but i cannot in good conscience listen to them

🌵🌺 mado 🌺 🌵 @madocactus.itch.io · 4d

i would've also put reg1na spekt0r here if it was me from 10 years ago. her lyrics resonated with me then — but i fell off of her music more recently.

my absolute fav lyricist is stephen sondheim though.

🌵🌺 mado 🌺 🌵 @madocactus.itch.io · 4d

my personal favs (who are living)
- early MARINA (family jewels-FROOT eras specifically. "savages" is a beast of a song)
- florence welch
- nicole dollanganger (she's improved so much — married in mount airy is genuinely haunting)

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

This means if you're in the UK and haven't signed this yet, please do. At 100k signatures they have to discuss it again.

Literally the least you can do!!

UK Gouvernment: Payment Processors Can Ban NSFW Content
According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.
