i'm making 2025 the year of properly valuing yourself. we know shit can go wrong in a hurry, so we're not doing self effacing statements or self deprecating comments/humor.

y'all got 22 days to get it out of your system or lock it away deep inside with your shame and doubt.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

I like the spirit.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

With every passing day, it becomes more and more clear that Elon Musk has absolutely no notion of what a fiduciary duty actually is.

Meanwhile capitalists

"Murder in the name of shareholder value is acceptable."

Billionaires are the worst. 🙄

I learned today I actually had no idea what Ted Kaczynski had done. I had a vague idea he'd been responsible for the 1993 WTC bombing or maybe something that was bombed in Texas.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

The original one-man terrorism band

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Just re-upping this.

Over years, this has been what rings true, to me.

People aren't radicalised to violence by a True Belief.

People get radicalised into violence by first being abandoned by family, employers, religion, society, government, support institutions

Brennan Lee Mulligan, "Personality Predates Ideology"

"Mostly, people are not motivated by ideological codes; [but] by impulse, & construct [codes]… to justify what they were already going to do.

… meaning, before you were a fascist, you were a bully & an butthole"

Brennan Lee Mulligan - "Personality Predates Ideology"

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Just here while I prepare dinner to ensure the phrase "Salad Bar" isn't neglected or allowed to occupy an information void at this time. Thank you for your attention. Mmm olives.

Dr Henry ⛄️ (@henryhenryhenry.com):

like JRE, the seeming ideological incoherence of UHC shooter and other individual political violence practitioners is by design to allow many audiences to ascribe many different meanings and allegiances

Alexander Reid Ross (@areidross.bsky.social):

so after reading more deeply, I can report that the alleged shooter's just a basic Joe Rogan Listener.

"magic mushrooms + evolutionary psych + Tradition as birth rates panacea + random alt-agriculture ideas + AI is cool right? + Ted K + Musk/Thiel anti-woke mind virus + check out theese abs"

Alex Newhouse (@alexbnewhouse.bsky.social):

"salad bar extremism" and "fringe fluidity" set us back like 20 years

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

It seems I am too late

(@testtest2.bsky.social):

No way this is real.

🎄 GreenockScatman 🎄 (@greenockscatman.bsky.social):

It's not. The channel pfp has changed after the upload.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

… AutoHotKey running on a laptop somewhere can do a lot of things a human can do

🎄 GreenockScatman 🎄 (@greenockscatman.bsky.social):

You could in theory, but I find it hard to believe that he'd have the presence of mind to change it to the McDonalds meal pfp while being arrested

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

That does suggest the kind of grim plotting that only comes about in TV & cinema

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Seconded. He profiles like a Ben Shapiro comment section

someone clock me with a solid gold brick so I can get back to the timeline that doesn't include incel RETVRN extremist folk heroes

Asperas Bompar (@asperasbompar.bsky.social):

Yeah, I hoped the guy getting exposed as a suburban commando would have chilled people out, but folks are hotboxing their Rambo fantasies now.

"ANTI - … ANTIFA"

I wonder if there's a shorter word for that

blackmask/nyc (@blkmsk.com):

"Liberal" ?

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

allegedly had a manifesto on him

… heeeeere we go sigh

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

I'm certain that if he didn't, one or more of the likely dozens of people involved in searching his person & effects could supply a convenient one

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Dr Henry ⛄️ (@henryhenryhenry.com):

nooooooooo

Dr Henry ⛄️ (@henryhenryhenry.com):

i can't do another manifesto discourse cycle, i just can't

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Over/Under:

1) A pithy quote from Marx as a meme in his camera roll

2) a trauma dump diary entry

3) an emotional screed about specifically UHC's policies

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Advocating for the enactment of an extremist major violent event that is itself ideologically motivated makes one an Ideologically Motivated Violent Extremist.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

The Trumpist plan to nullify birthright citizenship & deport US citizens & their families is extremist. It is violent. It is ideologically motivated.

"Let it happen" is complicity.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

There's a very good reason RAtM's Bulls On Parade sprang into my head the moment I read the edgelord hot take

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

I like the ideal promise of forums like Reddit.

I feel that Reddit itself should have been either destroyed or compelled to reform by law, 15 years ago.

And I have 50,000 + reasons for that

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Today's reason is an 11-year-old Reddit account, where the username — readable by 13-17 year old kids — graphically described the operator performing a s*x act in a way that violated boundaries and consent.

The entire comment history I loaded, 1000 items, was all hostile sneering / harassment.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Eleven years and potentially tens of thousands of incidents of sexual harassment of others, including minors.

Reddit provides NO MECHANISMS to report user profiles.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

15 years ago this could have been reformed.

But the community has borne the weight of this for reddit's entire existence.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

And while there is now — more than a year later — a mechanism for reporting usernames on Reddit, it doesn't change the fact that UCHISPs (social media) are still engineered and operated in ways that are unreasonably, foreseeably unsafe

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

UCHISPs are still engineered and operated in ways that enable hatred, harassment, and violent threats to be enacted across them, with the userbase bearing the burden of countering & preventing it, with a few barebones cowtools.

Edith Laurie Charles (@edithcharles.bsky.social):

is that so

Mr. Niss (@mrniss.bsky.social):

me following white supremacists or Nazis or evil people like Chase Utley does nothing to you and doesn't subject you to anything

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Dude had been following me. Now he is on my Hate Enablers & Freedom From Association lists.

iT dOeS nOThInG tO yOu

Had he paid the slightest attention and saw me as a human, he would have seen me shouting

Katie Tightkitty, Editor-In-Chief (@katie.bzky.team):

now as a highly esteemed journ*list from The Blue Skyork Times, i believe it is of the utmost importance that the bluesky team solve this problem immediately.

clearly, every single on the app should be banned. and also my columns should be pinned to every feed.

Katie Tightkitty (@katie.bzky.team):

GUY WHO IS A HARASSING TRANSPHOBIC LIBERTARIAN OBSESSED WITH THE GENITALS OF CHILDREN IN HIS BLOG POSTS: you can't ban me i'm a journ*list

BLUESKY: sucking air in sharply well i don't know everyone, he says he's a journ*list.....

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

hits Play on just the "Oh My God" sample from Mark Morrison's "Return of the Mack"

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.
