I use Bluesky as a brain dump a lot of the time. If I want advice or suggestions, I’ll ask for it. I recognize this is a public forum, and there’s nothing stopping you from being a Reply Guy. Likewise, there’s nothing stopping me from blocking you. Don’t be a jerk.

Maybe not the point of this thread but I love how he points out the limp garment on the Zuck and highlights how one of the Trump failsons uses sweatshops for his branded clothes.

The point of this thread is not to give you a checklist for "quality metrics," but rather help you develop an understanding of clothing. There are lots of quality hoodie companies in the world. Each makes a design according to their taste, much like how a chef creates a dish.

This is an example of why trails are so useful and helpful to everyone.
I’ve been taking my wheelchair to a work event for the first time this week. It’s in town, so I’ve been able to use my trike to transport it on an almost-continuous bike path from the far north end to the waterfront.
There’s joy in having these mobility aids & infrastructure to help me use them.

so glad the child sexual abuse panic was squarely pointed at folks like me by the people actually doing it & the public was like “yeah, seems right—freaks did it. not the men with all the money & fighting to keep child marriage legal, the women that are legal to kill in 30 states if you’re nervous.”
What a great day for finding out that a lot of things people thought were conspiracies are actually backed up by emails that are like hey pedo, let us pedo together in pedoland on the second day of the pedo month

Listening to the @ihatejamesdobson.bsky.social podcast is helping me so, so much. Hearing the hosts talk so openly about how damaging the Dobson/FotF/purity culture is for children and teenagers is revelatory.

We WERE fighting united and some of the Dems in the Senate stabbed us voters in the back - don’t talk to us about being united. Stop trolling us and do your damn job.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

I need the Dem caucus to not only vote “no” but to actively call out and punish defectors on this.

Okay Brightline, why does the PA say “final boarding call” when the train isn’t even at the station yet?! There are no benches or seats on the platform while we wait an extra ten minutes between the so-called “final boarding call” and when the train actually shows.

That’s my rep!!! I’m so grateful for Frost!!
Unacceptable. There are 189,000 people in my district who will be paying 50–300% more for the same, and in many cases worse, healthcare.
I won’t do that to the people I represent. I’m a NO on this “deal.”

Scary procedure results are back and I am fine!
Get your tits checked, friends! I had a mass that turned out to be a fibroadenoma and PASH (pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia). The hospital provided great care for the biopsy. The biopsy itself wasn’t pleasant but it wasn’t horrible either.

Scary medical procedure completed today; now I wait 3-5 business days for results. Odds are in my favor but of course brains are dumb.
