It’s not often I say “what a time to be alive” in a positive way, but man, what a time to be alive

Saw a video of the Portland Frog staring down a retreating ICE agent/terrorist and it made me laugh out loud with glee. Which, as we all know, is a rare and welcome thing these days, so thanks for that, Portland 😂🙌🏻

Ugh, that struggle is so real 🫠 I cannot be trusted with autopay or I’ll probably overdraw my account, but also what are the chances I’ll remember a deadline 😅🫠😂

Can’t believe it’s been 12 years since I got married =\ sometimes I can’t believe I ever got married at all; it feels like a dream from another life. But I guess I wouldn’t be where I am now without it happening, and I’m a better person at least than I was back then, so maybe it was worth it.

Dude if the Democratic Party has a place for anti-trans and anti-abortion candidates then I’m not a democrat and I won’t vote for one

I don’t know what to tell you man, there’s already a political party who believes these things

It’s not a “big tent” to have zero fixed values in pursuit of power

I REALLY need folks to understand that having a functioning society doesn't mean that every little thing needs to make money. Sometimes the point is that it makes people's lives better and doesn't have to make record profits every year to be fucking worthwhile

divine beastmode @gunstreet.bsky.social · 20d

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

1-866-952-4456 to tell Netflix that in no way do you want Elon fucking Musk determining what you watch.

I just called, got through in about 15 seconds, and told them that I strongly support queer inclusion in their programming and that I will cancel my subscription if they cave.

Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com · 14d

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

Getting up at a reasonable time in the actual morning makes the day seem forever long, which is weird to get used to but probably the correct way to do life =\ it also forces me to actually do things instead of just sitting around all day - there are so many hours to fill and I get bored 😅😂

Erin @rainbowfemmebot.bsky.social · Sep 16

Grey’s Anatomy sucks, imo, don’t bother (unless you like really annoying people making stupid decisions or getting attached to characters who are inevitably going to die next season)

You’re stronger than you think you are, baby, but I’m sorry you have to be :( I’m here to help ❤️

It’s so disappointing that terrible people get to enjoy and experience the good things in this world =\ especially since I don’t get to 😅😂😤

And the whole thing where she almost cut off Angeria for the third time because she didn’t want to choose someone to cut just irks me. Like, I wouldn’t want to make anyone mad either and I’d have cried too, but Roxxxy is just so obnoxious about it, idk

Erin @rainbowfemmebot.bsky.social · Sep 13

I can’t help how much I hate Roxxxy Andrews =\ I hate how she paints, I hate her personality, and it makes me so angry when she wins a challenge 😤😅

“Nobody should be killed for their political beliefs” vs “every child in Gaza is potentially a terrorist” is a fun contrast

This won't be enough--a lie can run around the world before the truth has got its boots on--but it's an important start. You (the outlets in question) have endangered people carelessly, for clicks. Do what you can to undo it.

Andrew Lawrence @ndrew.bsky.social · Sep 12

any outlet that reported the “pro-trans ideology on bullet casings” thing owes the public an apology and an explanation

if you are serious about turning down the temperature, start by showing some shame and regret for your role in turning it up in the first place by allowing yourself to be played
