@iwriteok.bsky.social I was listening to the Q&A with you and Sophie, and specifically the best about ska music. I figure you probably are, but if not, I'd recommend listening to Ska-P, a Spanish ska punk band that are phenomenal live.

I know this is great, and I'm so very glad that Lucy was found, but why does this feel like convenient cop-paganda for DHS? Is that just me being too cynical, or is it appropriate cynicism?

@coolzonemedia.bsky.social Hey guys, I'm not seeing part one of @margaret.bsky.social's Woody Guthrie episode in my BtB feed in @pocketcasts.com feed... 🤔 Has it been disappeared like @jamieloftus.bsky.social's victims in Grand Rapids, Mi?! Or has something just did a derp?

This is something that has been known for a while, like the sedative effects of Mirtazapine at lower doses. What other #mentalhealth meds have these properties that aren't often discussed?

This is reassuringly good news! Now if we could only get some better #mentalhealth care and service provision for those transitioning, that'd be grand!
