What's the follow through on outlawing meat? What happens to all the meat already in stores, all the animals already on farms? What, in like millions+ of tons, is the sheer waste of what you're calling for?

I was raised by a formerly-Catholic-atheist who didn't do any unlearning & I frequently sum it up as: none of the faith or community, all of the guilt

I Nied to drink your blood! 🧛 @nied.bsky.social · Jul 28

Look I'm just going to say it: As someone who was raised atheist, I think a lot of you are bringing the baggage about the religion you were raised in into your atheism & it's not healthy.

as an earth worshipping pagan, every time people rant about Religion I'm like...do you mean me in my yard talking to the bees or do you mean like evangelicals/fundamentalists specifically? Bc also like if you think there's only like a subset of one religion that Rly Counts, you're not not religious

I love pulling out my liter water bottle that I refill partway through the day in addition to coffee, kombucha, etc at this one. Just take a loooooooong sip through the straw with a blank stare.

Chronic Illness Humor @chronicillness.bsky.social · Jul 21

"You're probably just dehydrated."

Cool. I'll let my chronic illness know that I'm cured.

don't ask what I'm up to unless you want to hear how detangling the pothos that my elderly neighbor has handed down to me after her mother handed it down to her because it's very long and I want to secure it to a trellis is going

Yeah it's horrific. There's not a clearer indication of dehumanization than making their deaths not only acceptable but funny.

It's disgusting that in addition to doing it they're trying to be cute about it. It's not cute. It doesn't deserve a cute zingy name.

I refuse to call an American concentration camp the same thing it calls itself at its attached gift shop

Maybe American journalism should search in the garbage for its self-respect and start taking the same position?

At this point I'm just worried about the health of the upstairs neighbor's knees. It's not good for you to stomp around all the time.

*also I make my own whole milk Bulgarian yogurt but Greek or whatever kind of plain yogurt you enjoy will work just fine. I'm just real proud of my yogurt making & find joy in the connection it has to my husband's family and culture. 🇧🇬 #BulgariaMentioned

Small joys: I bought a popsicle mold & for my first batch made Peanut butter fudge froyo pops

1/2 cup plain yogurt*
2 hot cocoa packets
Big honkin scoop peanut butter
Milk of choice until you reach 2 cups total

Blend until smooth & portion into popsicle molds

I plan to add a banana next time

Text reads: this is an act of great love and optimism. "great love" and "optimism" are patterned as an American flag. There's an inverted American flag in the corner.

Yeah the original intent was like, if you're not very very clearly visibly lefty from afar maybe consider not looking visibly far right from afar 😅

Yes every conservative social media site becomes a tropical rainforest of school shooters and Ponzi schemes but did you know that there is a left-wing social media site where people are rude to the nation’s center-right political pundits
