we were all brought into this world against our will & we should not have to pay to survive in it.

bluesky staff misexplaining the torment nexus post, a post about how tech people don’t understand the media they read, is going to make me laugh for a long time

DON'T FORGET!

Only day you can post this

Conservatives are never losing the tag that they cannot understand fiction if they even bother to read it.

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”

Late to this, but if you aren't willing to stand up for trans people that puts you on the side of the villains. There is no excuse and no "strategy" that justifies it. Either stand with people under attack from the state or get out of the way so someone with a working moral compass can step up.

Discworld QOTD, from A Hat Full of Sky

"... it must be hard, being the best. You're not allowed to stop. You can only be beaten, and you're too proud ever to lose. Pride! You've turned it into a terrible strength, but it eats away at you."

Remember, folks.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

they are trying to kill every trans kid in America

when these rules actually come out, they will be open for public comment and all of us need to flood submissions, call our reps, make noise, everything including the kitchen sink

unconscionable evil

Longtime readers know the true villain of American politics is the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929. Repealing this and restructuring Supreme Court are the bare minimums of fixing government in this country. Bare minimums.

(Yes, I want mulit-member districts too. Good luck trying for those.)

Are they in a mass grave?

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

World Central Kitchen is mobilizing to Jamaica, please consider donating

if you don’t spend several hours a day on your phone you’ll miss all the Crap and Bullshit

makes me weep to think of the gifts robbed from us because unaffordable housing has made it difficult for people to pursue their passions and hobbies

Strange that the list of right-wing propaganda outlets and their followers that has autoblocked all the new US government accounts for me is marked as containing possible violations of Bluesky guidelines in it's name or description. It's a good list. bsky.app/profile/did:...

I say this on every missing pet post I see: find some dirty laundry like a jacket or blanket and hang it where the wind can carry it. We forget how powerful our fuzzy friends' sense of smell is. Hoping Penny makes it home safely 🙏

During a shutdown only the most essential government services continue, like having maladjusted groypers break the Hatch Act on Bluesky to own the libs.

Gotta block ‘em all!
Here’s the one-stop shopping blocklist to disappear the Trump regime accounts that swarmed Bluesky yesterday.

Ok logging off to do research & create, something Jay has never done because she has no inner life

Shoutout to the local classic rock radio station for playing the level complete jingle from Super Mario World specifically to add some pomp for when someone wins the daily contest. I'm not sure if the target demgraphic noticed it, but I did.
