Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
I've been obsessed with reproducing the sounds made by the Old Blood Noise Endeavors' Sunlight pedal, and this is my approximation of the pedal's Tape mode.
I tuned Osc 3 down all the octaves to turn it into a third LFO for harmonic flutter
Staccata (@stacy.is.relentlessly.online):
I was going to make a stupid joke about the band LFO but then I heard how this sounded and loved it and then realized what song this was and started to cry a little. It was an unexpected whiplash of emotion but it sounds really great 🩷

"What happens when you put 17 million + accounts in the same IRC server" is possibly mankind's most ambitious & least wise undertaking

If you see an account with this PFP, you can be assured that it's a fascist or a Nazi and you should block it without interacting.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Just gonna leave this here

is it the actual person's face getting re-used? Or are you referring to the hand gesture?
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Is the Officer here played by Bill Murray or by Gene Wilder
Paul [Atreides] Wood (@retroid.bsky.social):
Bill Murray. I can hear it, Ghostbusters-era.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
In my head, I'm casting Jodie Foster, then Gillian Anderson, then David Duchovny, in turn.
It's like a Casting Audition Kaleidoscope scene
Paul [Atreides] Wood (@retroid.bsky.social):
I'm ALWAYS in favour of casting Gillian Anderson. No matter the part.
(Also definitely Jodie Foster)

Anti-trans bigotry absolutely needs to be confronted, but let's not let republicans get away with this obvious ploy to distract from Trump's dogshit cabinet appointments like Tulsi Gabbard for DNI, RFK Jr for Sec HHS, or Linda Mc Mahon for Sec Education to name just a few!
muad'dweeb 🏳️⚧️🇵🇸 (@webway.bsky.social):
trans people's rights aren't a 'distraction'
defending them is valuable in itself
would you be willing to have your right to use the potty abandoned because it's a 'distraction'?
Eric Blyler (@ericblyler.bsky.social):
Jesus christ for the millionth time, I didn't say trans rights are the distraction. Nancy Mace's bullshit is the distraction. You're not going to win if you keep mischaracterizing your allies' words. Get a fricking grip and focus on the big picture here.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
The many people pushing back on your rhetoric here (many of whom are transgender, and whom you are blocking for the mildest criticism and standing up for themselves) are adults, and are able to spot Dismissing & Derailing rhetoric.
"Ally" is an action verb, not a title.
Listen.
Eric Blyler (@ericblyler.bsky.social):
listening is a two way road.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Sir,
I am glad you're willing to listen.
300 characters is a hobble for clarity, sometimes.
There has yet to be a trans-affirming communique that opens with the equivalent of "I think bigotry is bad, BUT …".
It's 100% free to write, "I apologise. I'll do better." and make verbal amends.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Trans people — we are legitimately frightened that we will be denaturalized, rights stripped, placed in concentration camps, tortured, murdered.
Which kind of thing is enabled when people start to write, "… but, ", and "… however, " next to "Trans Rights".
That is the issue.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
I pray, therefore, that you reconsider using the rights of a vulnerable minority as a Relative Privation framing device.
Eric Blyler (@ericblyler.bsky.social):
but it's not what I did. That is not a good faith interpretation of my OP.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Well, as I referred to earlier, Intent Filtered By Language, Transcribed to Glyphs, Hoovered by Eyeballs and Reconstructed to Infer Intent is a complex process with many steps where things may go in unintended ways.
And I'm old & tired, & not given to bad faith interpretations.
Think on it.

Yep, one important cog in the compromise of the election. Being wicked with tons of money and resources was their idea of democracy. Oh, wait, killing democracy.

Not a bsky admin; I will state :
No, don't make it go viral.
They are taking action; mapping out what actions they are taking would give the attackers a roadmap around them.
Pressuring the admins distracts them from doing the work.
Report and block and blocklist.

Hopefully one day the operator gets hauled before a court, & his operation seized. Until then, we have to be vigilant to keep each other safe.

What I'm saying is:
They have law enforcement attention. Have for several years.
They want people to shout about them so they can hijack that publicity to harm their targets.
It's part of their strategy.

Is there a way to automatically block (not mute) accounts with certain words in their name or profile?
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
It needs someone running a labeler, scanning for the words in names / profiles, adding them to a list. It's not "baked in" to bluesky.

I am certain you do not wish to argue that several years ago you assaulted me at Tanglewood Forest. Several of your fellow company members have chased me and thwapped me with Amtgard -legal boffer weapons on Company Road while I was making announcements on behalf of Kingdom Officers.
