I've got a feeling that a bunch of newbies just found Tony's feed/starter pack because I just gained a whole pile of new followers who all have something about adoption in their bios.
So, hi new friends! I talk about LOTS of things, not just the fact that I was bought from the catholic baby store!

I’ll repeat my standing invitation to #adoptees: add yourselves to my Adoptees of Bluesky feed. The only posts of yours that show up in the feed are those that include a few terms like #adoption #adoptee #adoptees #adopteevoices and 🥚 (because we’re supposed to have fallen from some stork’s cloaca)
If you're new here, this is a thread full of my adoptee tweets. Some are about adoption generally and some are about either my adoptive or bio family (or a combination of the two). So feel free to scroll through and catch up on the hashtag Crucial Lore™️. 🥚

i think that if the US is going to continue to be a nation of baby buyers it definitely needs to be a nation of citizenship on demand.

and listen to people purchased as children out of #adoption “sending” countries before forming any opinions about what it takes to “earn” citizenship. imagine being bought, shipped, and then deported.

Did I group text all of my cousins in my adoptive dad's family just to wish a happy birthday to two of their spouses who have birthdays on either side of mine? Yep. Did I also include this photo? Also yep.
I'm about as subtle as a guitar solo. But, hey! At least I'm cute!

This is what it looks like when people actually give a damn. It is absolutely possible to say no to the Potter Money, and judging all those audiobook and TV celebrities who don't is extremely justified.
I got offered a LOT of money to host an official HP podcast and turned it down immediately. I’m assuming since I am not a podcaster that they have an extremely long list of people who have also said no to this. Dunno what‘s going on with the actors but the comics are holding the line lol
Once again thinking about every actor trying to justify taking the money for the new HP series.

a load-bearing component of “the magic of Christmas” is the invisible domestic labor of moms
you are now realizing how much she was doing for you and instead of just thanking her you’ve decided it’s about the decline of civilization

Because you're an adult you fucking muppet. You gotta pay the magic forward.

This is one of those things that I think is quietly important – when these people are talking shit about cities, Portland or Minneapolis or New York or Charlotte or wherever, you have to loudly say, “no, fuck you, you’re lying, that town and its people whip ass and you’re the asshole”
“I walk around Portland, and I go, ‘Fuck you, assholes. Portland is fine.’” - John Darnielle, @themountaingoats.bsky.social. We're proud to claim you as a Portlander, sir.

BREAKING: All House Democrats have signed our discharge petition to extend the ACA tax credits.
That makes 214.
We can protect health care and lower costs — if only 4 Republicans will join us.

International #adoptees, like me, who were brought to this country had zero choice in their citizenship status. Some of us, whose adoptive parents didn’t do the paperwork, have been deported already. And citizens like me are at risk due to this racist regime. 🥚

Forgot to take photos before folks dug in, but my partner says that this year's pumpkin pie was the best one I've made. Evidently roasting the pumpkin rather than steaming it or buying the canned puree was really worth the effort! (Which was honestly LESS effort than steaming or boiling usually is!)

I can't tell if I want one of these shirts just for me to wear around my adoptive family (wherein I was an only child) or if I want to buy one each for myself and my sisters for us all to wear at the same time for the giggles.
