Why this appears to be a shitty thing, at first glance:

"Is 500px providing a migration path for existing contributors who submit Creative Commons images?

The short answer is no. Our plan is to remove the ability to upload an image to 500px with a Creative Commons license. We’ll also be removing the functionality to download and search for Creative Commons images on our website."

1/3

~1 million Creative Commons images on 500px.com are dissapearing tomorrow!

If you have the resources please install the Archiveteam's Warrior program and select the 500px project! https://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=ArchiveTeam_Warrior

irc is #500pieces on efnet

thank you (boosts very appreciated)

I've been quieter than normal recently.

Time to fix that.

This is a thread about the things that I am working on/thinking about, and how they relate back to the current state of the world.

It's going to be one of /those/ threads, probably, so please forgive me if it takes me a little while to respond to you if you jump in the replies. I'll get there, I promise.

I had the pleasure of being able to see part of Michigan Central Station recently.

FROM THE INSIDE 😁

CWs are super great to encourage political action because:

- you can mention where it's happening, so you don't have to read it if you can't do anything about it, (or forward it on in case others might be able to act on it)

- you can say 'hey, here's something that you can do about it' and people can think 'oh wow, that's great, I'll take a look at this when I'm up for it'

(ie. giving context and action statements prevents apathy and makes political action messages focused instead of chaotic)

No, seriously. I wish I was making this up. This isn't even the entire list.

"Gargron closing issues for no reason"

Actually, he had a reason! It's just the most petty bullshit you can possibly imagine.

Sorting by "most recent activity" immediately shows you that he mass closed every open issue that @hoodie made.

Politics gives me anxiety. It puts me in a place where I don't feel comfortable leaving the house.

This happened when Obama got elected (I was legit scared to go to work & so was a friend of mine who was a BW) we hit each other up and met up to have a ..basically a come to Jesus moment for each other

and then when I lived in UK and Brexit happened. I didn't leave the house for 2 days. The attacks on 'foreigners' went up 100% in the following days.

Some of you can ignore & live life wo being affected

Some of us can not and never will be able to avoid it for very long. Hours, days, maybe a week.

We grew up in it. I've said this before.

Conservatives will say 'feelings aren't facts'

Our lives are facts. Testimony to how this country operates. You just don't want to believe it. But it doesn't change our reality

The reason police keep doing this shit isn't magic. Most white people just don't care. Yes, even the 'woke' ones.

Sure, they'll 'take a stand' when the cameras come out, but what about the work to dismantle the culture that enables cops to keep doing illegal shit?

What about sustained voting pushes to out vote bigots? What about confronting racism in your family? What about being a buffer between us a fucked up cops?

Where is the WORK outside of photo ops & interviews?

it's called mastodon because it is an unwieldy, monumental beast of sheer cpu usage
