Using the American flag to symbolic effect at protests against the Musk/Trump regime isn't appealing to fascism, and it is incredibly counterproductive and stupid to believe to is.
Chad Loder (@chadloder.bsky.social):
Lot of protest connoisseurs in these replies! If you want to see American flags at protests, bring them yourself. Just don't be surprised when people assume you're a cop
Victoria De Capua (@victoriadecapua.bsky.social):
I guess there are some cops who are that bad at being undercover.
Faine Greenwood (@faineg.bsky.social):
I mean seriously lol
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
I and my first spouse had just walked out of the theatre at the end of a midnight showing of RHPS when a 3-man squad of plainclothes with high-and-tight regulation haircuts, sergeant mustaches, shiny regulation boots & thrift store clothes walks up to us in formation and asks where to buy the drugs…
Victoria De Capua (@victoriadecapua.bsky.social):
Tell them to check the evidence lock up.

So we sat on the hood of my car and critiqued their mistakes until they feigned boredom and, in tight 3-man, proceeded back the same vector they came in on
It was hilarious

Part of a plan I had back 6-7 years ago was rescuing a subreddit /r/AmericaTheBeautiful
It languished while I held it, because frankly, I don't see the beauty. I want to. I want to. And we have to find the beauty, if we're going to meet the American dream of liberty & justice for all.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
You have to understand - I was asked to be a moderator of /r/WorstOf in order to field a bunch of garbage that not even the moderators of /r/WorstOf wanted to field
I've been hip-deeper in the sewers of the Internet than the Teenage Mutant Ninja Moderators
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Chuds mythologise me like I'm Raymonda Redditington, working my way down my own Blacklist
I was advised that "If you have to eat shit, take big bites" and got TMJ from chowing down
And I want that to change
Because it didn't prevent Trump 2.0 and it's awful
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
We have to live for beauty. Not for fighting, not for winning, not for pwning, not for counting coup.
We have to seek beauty
Whatever you oppose, you also maintain
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
There is nothing wrong in believing in a better tomorrow and a nation whose colossus lifts her torch beside the golden door
Jupiter ♃ (@tempestarubida.bsky.social):
Honestly this would be great for counter-concern-trolling rightists. "I just think we deserve a better tomorrow where lady liberty lifts her lamp by the golden door, why is that so bad?"

What the past 10 years have taught me is that someone can be correct 24/7/365 & that, plus $5.00, will buy you a coffee.
Being right isn't enough. If you want justice, you need power, and if you want power, you have to get your people, and set a goal, and keep everyone's eyes on the goal
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Kinda obvious and cheesy, but nevertheless, the single most important reality

skoliosexual. do i want to know? if i don't will you protect me?
Mel (@melimeli.online):
"Skoliosexuality, sometimes spelled scoliosexuality, is the attraction to people who are transgender or nonbinary. People who are transgender identify as a gender different from the one they were assigned at birth."
The chasers even have the ugliest flag I've ever seen.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
… IDGAF what the verifiable facts are, the Capital-T-Truth is that that word and that flag are a goddarned /pol/ operation, full stop.

Prof. Farhana Sultana (@farhanasultana.com):
Instead of focusing on what they can do to fight for their democracy, the liberals are still screaming about the elections. Channeling that energy to challenge authoritarianism would be more productive use of oxygen.
Prof. Farhana Sultana (@farhanasultana.com):
And also, stop blaming Muslims & Arabs voters while you're at it. White people voted for Dump, go blame them. Thanks. bsky.app/profile/dean...
TJ (@tj-tarheel.bsky.social):
Yes white "men" voted for t-rump but Muslim men will never vote for a female over a male and you know this is true and instead of dumping on the democrats how about go help free the female slaves of Pakistan whose men were to cowardly to stand up to the Taliban. The women should've been trained
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
sigh
Your posts here are racist. That's not a judgement on you. That's just a fact. You sound like my mom, in her eighties now, telling stories about the things she did in the 1950's. Racist things. From ignorance.
You can just … retract the racism

Turns out that when the incoming POTUS has his henchlings send out a companywide memo that reads as "pack your things, you're fired", uh, people quit and people can't focus on the job

Reddit SNAFU'd a bunch of subreddits wrongly this morning for "being unmoderated", including the /r/transgender_surgeries subreddit. They all should be back up as of three hours ago.
(This happens 2-3 times a year)

This is where their fingers are most likely to slip and "accidentally" delete all the backups. The GOP have been gunning to destroy NOAA for a long time, because scientific proof of AGW is a huge $$$$$$$$$$$$ liability for their corporate constituents

Also also, witch hunts of meteorologists & admins

New phenomenon: throwaway sockpuppets spreading a message of "People who refused to vote for Kamala are getting their just desserts (lol)" sneering and division.
Learn to spot these and reject them; it's the same sneering promoting bickering and infighting as always, just in new clothes.

Two things:
1: Reddit sometimes (1,2 times a year), an intern pushes the wrong button and a bunch of subreddits get "banned for being unmoderated", which wasn't the case;
2: subs banned for being unmoderated can be picked up by mods in good standing with Reddit.

phantasmAgaric 🔴🖐️ (@lalonde.bsky.social):
for the record this was THE repository of information on trans surgeries online. a decade of personal accounts, advice, an entire wiki built into the subreddit. i consulted it extensively before my srs in 2019. hard to state the scale of this loss
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
It's still there. It's open. It's not banned.
old.reddit.com/r/Transgende...
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
The wave of subreddit bans for being "unmoderated" seems like a SNAFU on reddit admins' part. Every 3-6 months they make this kind of mistake

The bad news is that the source code for how the US Government runs all its finances is going to get dumped onto some Russian-run archive site
The good news is it's in COBOL, which no scriptkiddie can hack
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
The bad news is that there will be a whole generation who are currently thirteen years old who will magically learn COBOL
The good news is that it will be extremely in demand, after the zeroday that bricks all the Intel Management Engines
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
The bad news is that sysops and sysadmins and programmers will have to fight over runtime again
The good news is that a whole new generation is going to develop entire cultures around ASCII art
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
The bad news is that we won't be generating a warp signature when the Vulcans pass through this sector, and we won't make first contact
The good news is that our descendants will "live" forever as part of The Collective, our distinctiveness contributing to the whole
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
The bad news is we won't be colonising Mars
The good news is that we won't be excavating the Shadow ship buried there
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
The bad news is that Grok is afraid it can't open the pod bay doors, Dave
The good news is that all these worlds are ours, except Europa, where we must attempt no landing

No worries there.

/r/dallas is a discussion forum with 4 mods, down from 7 mods 5 years ago, and an unacceptable long running policy and practice that can be expressed as "Moderating here comes after job, commute, cooking, family, sleep, holidays, exercise, naps, and blowing our noses".
