bluesky: it’s just like twitter, except not owned by Elon Musk! 🤯

[evan b 🦋⛅️ is migrating @ebwiz42]

what it feels like to switch to bluesky, knowing that unlike twitter, it is not owned & governed by a dangerously ignorant, fascist, transphobic billionaire whose inflated ego may doom us all

[evan b 🦋⛅️ is migrating @ebwiz42]

did u know?

[evan b 🦋⛅️ is migrating @ebwiz42]

ideally our culture’s chosen mass communication platform is not owned + controlled by a transphobic creep with an alarming combination of wealth, power, & stupidity 👍

from now on my usage of twitter will be exclusively reserved for the promotion of its rapidly growing rival.

it feels like a noble public service. like checking in on the titanic’s doomed orchestra to offer lifeboats for everybody, before leaving forever

i guess for me, the main selling point is that it feels nice to not have one’s access to information tied to the whims of society’s most cartoonish global supervillain

[evan b 🦋⛅️ is migrating @ebwiz42]

i know you feel it in your bones. the instinct. the calling, harsh and exciting. whoever you are, no matter how lonely, let the air surge beneath your wings and carry the soft animal of your body away, toward your place in the family of things

[evan b 🦋⛅️ is migrating @ebwiz42]

dear birds of twitter, we must take a cue from our friends the geese and know when the time has come to migrate

Israel has made Gaza uninhabitable by design. This is not war, it is the deliberate annihilation of a people.

The US just vetoed *another* UN Security Council resolution. It demanded "an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire" & "immediate and unconditional release of all hostages."

14 voted in favor.
1—the US—opposed.

This is the 4th UNSC ceasefire resolution US has vetoed.

Here's a better angle that shows the @Maori_Party performing the haka right up in David Seymour's face.

He looks shit scared.
