I consider Joe Biden a devil.
I like to garden, sew, cook, write, & play video games. Still masked up. Mom to grown children, and caregiver to my mom & sister.
Zone 5a Illinois.
Gardening is political. Hobbies are political.

On Bluesky, autistic disability advocate AJ Link, president of the Nat’l Disabled Legal Professionals Assn (and an expert in space law) is banned
Singal? Bluesky changed the TOS to accommodate him
The racism and fascism are overt

Link's perma ban is wrong and should be reversed.
And what illustrates it being EVEN MORE WRONG, are recent suspensions with restoration with much much more egregious offenses in the same line of what Bluesky claims Link was banned over.

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

A huge problem in Illinois cities that are NOT Chicago is the seemingly unheard-of concept that not everyone wants to own a house. Right over the head of many people who live and own here.
Advanced version...not everyone wants to own a car or drive, either.

It’s time for our Governor and state legislators to firmly refuse this toxic school privatization scheme for our state. We’ve seen vouchers before here in Illinois and know the harm they’ll do, hurting equity and funding discrimination.
