So I've really enjoyed the first few days of being on this platform. Been reflecting a lot about *gestures vaguely at all the things*.
One of the things I hate about social media today is that it killed what I loved about social media before.

Hey so I'm just a random human living in a super quiet corner of Bluesky, but here's my sincere take on this past week/decade and how I think I'm gonna survive the long dark tunnel we're currently staring down. Hopefully this thread resonates with some of you!
Please read this. The accounts are heartbreaking, but the story was prepared with so much care and compassion. It's worth your time.
Most of us live in places where the unhoused suffer violations of their basic humanity. Please think of them if this moves to you want to help. It moved me.

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.”
We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words.

Transit in this city is horrendous. Those who rely on it suffer the most - how can we justify increasing fares when this is allowed to happen? How can we convince others to ride when this is the risk they're taking?
The city council in #Ottawa led by @mayormarksutcliffe.bsky.social is failing us.

"You see, what happens is that if you give the rich guys more money, then they have more money to share with the poors. It just kinda trickles down, like magic! Get it? It's a win-win for everyone"
Maybe I'm missing an important point, but the Ford gov's claim that "Landlords will lower rents if they can rent out more of their properties now that we've given them more power over tenants" feels like something you'd say if you'd never literally never heard of capitalism before in your life.

"The idea of an Epstein class is helpful because one can be misled by the range of people to whom Mr. Epstein ingratiated himself. Republicans. Democrats. Businesspeople. Diplomats. Philanthropists. Healers. Professors. Royals. Superlawyers. [...] This diversity masked a deeper solidarity."
@anandwrites.bsky.social has nailed in this piece what has been grinding away at my gut since my own review of the Epstein files— that there truly is an “Epstein class” of elites, inured to the pain of the rest of us, committed to their own ends no matter the cost.

In the last 24 hours, I've watched clips of journos just *sitting there* while DJT calls their colleague "piggy" for asking a question, and now while he dismisses the horrific murder of their colleague by the guy right next to him as "things happen".
This is all so pathetic.

AI companies should go under and financially wipe out VCs. exec's should go to prison for putting systems into the world that were instrumental in numerous suicides without any consideration for those risks. there should be consequences for experimenting on the public on roads and in social settings

This is such a blow to free speech and sound journalism. @teenvogue.com has offered some of the strongest political commentary over the last several years. Their reach is vast.
Now their political journalists are being fired...presumably to satisfy the U.S. government/U.S. oligarchy.
Shame on you.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Agree! Learning about Ohtani and how we love him and also prefer when he's not playing has been my favourite discourse of the week. Glad you had one another to lean on while trapped in extra innings hell last night. Thumbs up to all my baseball pals on here ⚾
