Amy "Thunderjam" Chase - ABUZZ 🐝💖 @amythunderjam.bsky.social · 6h

Let me just slip into someone a little more comfortable... Happy Halloween, everyone! 💙

(photo by Jeanette Villareal)

Amy dressed as Mystique transforming into (or out of) disguise as Amy. Half of her face is painted blue with red lips and red hair extensions creating the Mystique side, with her normal face and brunette hair on the other side. She has one arm in a blue glove with fake nails to further the Mystique look. Amy wears blue jeans and a black shirt with yellow text that says SIDESHOW SPOOKTACULAR. The backdrop is a spooky graveyard scene with a fake rain background.

I looked at the original post, thinking context would explain it, but now I’m more confused than before. Sorry I have no idea what that means 🤷‍♀️ .

Let’s say you run out of candy halfway through tonight.

What do you give out instead to trick-or-treaters?

Same vain as those just-be-born-rich ‘selfmade’ success stories 😐.

That IS cool. Cpt. America wouldn’t be my first choice for a horror/superhero crossover, but at least on the cover it works.

They didn’t go down the whole ‘effort’ route, huh.

I don't know what, though. Maybe a bookmark dispenser, you know, for books.

I want something in my life that is activated by one of those big red buttons with a glass shield.

What a farce. It used to be “don’t buy avocado toast for lunch every day or you’ll never afford a house.” Now the economy is so bad it’s “don’t buy *a single pastry* once per week or you’ll end up homeless”

“At the same time, more than half of Gen Z members say they are struggling to make ends meet, yet a majority buy themselves a small treat, such as a pastry, coffee, or sweet, at least once a week. That can lead to overspending…”

Why are young people spending so much money?

‘a small treat once a week’

Not me, Mara Mellits, though. I’m only doing exactly this:

Then you might own slightly more comics than myself 🙃. Hard to count though,…if goodreads didn’t stink so much, I could estimate total number of pages 🤔….(sorry I’m just musing)

I’m trying, I’m trying, but this is a family-run guillotine business and my brother is sick 😔.

People at NYT are illiterate, confirmed.

Antigone @antigoneinthebes.bsky.social · 14h

That is some amount of comics 😳. Mine are all omnibus/TP though, so probably similar volume…

FINALLY someone’s thinking about the billionaires.

Antigone @antigoneinthebes.bsky.social · 15h

I.e. there’s a lot of passion on social media, but often not anything but passion.

Antigone @antigoneinthebes.bsky.social · 15h

For me, it’s helpful to remember:

1) Anything without credible source can easily turn out wrong/overblown.

2) Social media builds up on every topic like a tsunami, and can fall apart in itself just as quickly. Better to not get caught up.

Patch Zircher @patrickzircher.bsky.social · 15h

Really have to read anything on social media, that presents itself as news, with a lot of skepticism and critical thinking.
Facts skewed, and half-truths intended to appeal to biases.

Or just ignore it completely.
