hi 👋 really happy to be here. Who should we follow if we're into #art, #photography and #creativity?
Via the Writer’s Guild East: Netflix is demanding shareholders approve over $166 million in retroactive executive pay for 2022.
By contrast, the writers strike ends if Netflix agreed to a contract that would cost the streamer an estimated $68 million a year.

You know. Today really cemented why even though I've had a bluesky invite for several weeks now I haven't used it
See. Today some pro life asshole came in and started concern trolling me. And then I found out he came from an instance of Christians who were all very sad their chicken sandwich place wasn't bigoted enough against gays anymore
And despite the fact that I'm just a user the things I could do to keep myself and my community safe were
1. Block the guy and his entire instance
2. Notify my server's mods so they could decide to silence or defederate (they did)
3. Make a post recommending other users vulnerable to their bullshit instance block them
4. Recommend that mods/admins from other instances silence/defederate
In essence, I encountered a problem on the fediverse and could take decisive action to protect myself and others by having the problem get yeeted into the void. One minute I had a problem, the next myself and many others didn't. You don't get that anywhere else
The billionaire Sackler Family and Purdue Pharma will pay $6B & serve 0 prison for knowingly selling horrendous amounts of OxyContin while claiming it was non-addictive—resulting in 564K+ American deaths by Opioid overdose.😓 And that doesn’t even begin to contemplate the global harm and deaths the Sackler family caused.
And for all that suffering and atrocity—not one person will go to prison. Not one.

Almost a year since dear Mr Button departed. I keep seeing him in clouds lately.
This is a classic example of the kind of social media post that precedes a post with a nude. You see this post you click the little bell on the profile and you don't miss the nude and I stop being depressed because you were also kind enough to like the nude. That's how that works.

@reardon15 @JRBuckley we live in a country utterly dominated by Christianity. To them, there are no other religions here, there are just Christians and people who need to be converted or killed
Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)

Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
