@onlys.kyThe UK just rejected assisted dying by 16 votes. Terminally ill adults with <6 months to live. Two doctor sign-offs. Expert panel. Still no. by @susanfourtane.bsky.social

@onlys.kyWe built ramps. We added captions. We never questioned whether requiring things to happen at a specific moment is itself a barrier.

@onlys.kyEveryone wants AI. Nobody wants the data center. That's not a tech problem — it's a geography-of-harm problem. New piece by @bledewitz.bsky.social works out the math.
@onlys.kyThe internet didn't just change retail. It changed who gets to learn how to make things. A quiet revolution in craft — by @daylightatheism.bsky.social
@onlys.kyNASA: 2,300 asteroids large enough to end most life on Earth cross our orbit regularly. Probability all of them eventually hit us? Nearly 100%. This is the honest version of pla...

@onlys.kyAI is optimized for predictable humans. Humans are optimizing themselves to be predictable. A 2026 study calls it 'robotoid humanness.' By @susanfourtane.bsky.social

@onlys.kyNail polish is genderless. Pigment on keratin. The gender is a story we layered on top — and stories can change.

@onlys.kyMen who resent female pleasure are ashamed of their own. That's Deedee Redletter's whole theory — and she builds the science to back it. by @deedee-redletter.bsky.social

@onlys.kyThe predictable body — wakes on schedule, sits for hours, recovers from illness on cue — is a fiction. Society is a monument to a person who has never existed.

@onlys.kyThe Death Clock gives you a specific Tuesday. That's the whole point. Vague mortality is easy to ignore. A date is not.
@onlys.ky"We are not good. We are not even fine." Secular ethics borrows the standards without building the repair infrastructure. by @bledewitz.bsky.social

@onlys.kyThe curb cut wasn't designed for you. The caption wasn't either. And yet you've used both today. Accessibility doesn't serve a minority — it builds the floor everyone walks on.
