Me? Oh, you would ask!

I am t'Dklyaa, though often called Chicky...which sounds like such profanity in my language!

I am an e'Chrk, or what you might call a sentient dinosauroid

I spend much of my time on DS9. Don't be afraid to interact, I rarely bite...

Nye: We are here to tell our lawmakers that what's going on in our government is
wrong. They must stop the abuses of this petulant president and his circle of sycophants. No thrones, no crowns, no king

// it hurts to have to block some of these

Department of Transportation
Department of Education
EPA...

Things that should be promoting to help people

Endless, shameless Hatch Act violations by a lawless admin, it's disgusting

Pretty much every single one of these new government accounts is posting rage bait. It's possible (like 100% guaranteed) they are trying to provoke people here on purpose, so don't fall for it. Blockity block block block.

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

They joined Bluesky because they can’t live without your attention. They don’t want to govern, they don’t even really want to “win” in a conventional sense, they just want to play online all day owning libs and it drives them crazy when they lose access to your one wild and precious life.

Our transportation infrastructure in the US is so so far behind where it should be and then these clowns get behind the wheel and destroy things even more

One thing I always love about Romulans is they have a very clear idea of who is and is not their enemy.

Sometimes it is far better to cloak and remain unseen than try to engage in talks with a false tongued enemy.

It goes on here, too.

Block and disappear from your enemy
