Hey yall! I'm currently staring down several bills, so I'm offering a flash sale of sorts!
FREE shipping on any orders thru the end of this week with code SHIP4FREE

I have pins, mugs, stickers, cups, and more, take a look and see what you'll find!

#bskyart #bskyartists #nightmarket #sciart

A collection of ceramic pins in the shape of ammonite and shark tooth fossils in various colors and textures.

A ceramic mug in the shape and likeness of the pokemon Ditto. It is colored a similar pink that Ditto was initially portrayed as in early gen 1 artwork.

A ceramic mug featuring the iconic horseshoe crab. The animal is placed atop a two-tone base, the top half being blue and the bottom half being a sandy beige. Where they meet, there is a strip of white resembling waves hitting the beach.

I'm going to say what many are embarrassed to admit--providing masks is one of the kindest and considerate things an organization can do because many people genuinely cannot afford a box of masks.

Brian (Stuttering Loudly) @stutteringloudly.bsky.social · May 12

Disability related conferences (or ANY conference) can easily do this, rather than coming up with so many excuses

Buy 1-2 boxes of masks for those who don’t have masks or forgot, or didn’t know, etc

Conferences that don’t try have shown what they REALLY think about disabled / immunocompromised ppl

What gets me the most isnt that these things are happening — it’s that people still bother believing him and are still taking him at face value.

That's why I actually don't like "mono-racial" Japanese mangaka making stories about Black Biracial people (or fictional beings). They mock our existence, don't understand it, and use said character as a prop usually to talk about the antiBlackness they don't experience, but fantasize about.

There's absolutely nothing anyone can say to convince me that the world doesn't hate Black people. Not a fucking thing.

They want us to “make our own stories” but when we do, this is how they act. There’s no denying that a vast majority of people have deep rooted racism and specifically towards black people.

It's wild how much it feels like people are desperate to memory hole this entire phenomenon, to me. How viciously everyone who pointed out the emperor had no clothes were criticized. How content they all seem to be to let the biggest wealth transfer of the decade just fade out w/o REAL examination.

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

Anyone going to No Kings today, stay safe!

Remember too that a protest is one tool in our toolkit.

Call your reps, vote in every election, hell, run for something yourself if you feel like it!

They wouldn't be trying to dissuade us this hard if it truly all means nothing.

Also remember there is no algorithm here. Your quote-posts to dunk on them are helping them out when they can't game the system like they do on other platforms. Don't make their jobs easier for them. Just block and move on.

Remember:

- they DO NOT CARE about your arguments/rebuttals

- they DO NOT CARE about your dunks

- the person running the accounts was specifically hired to drive engagement BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY; it’s the algorithm they’re catering to

This is a game, and to them you are data to be manipulated.
