Same.

Also, I am spending less and less time here on bsky for the same reason.

I have decided that knowing every terrible thing that happens in a given day is not good for me and what might be better is to attempt to connect with my community and do things.

This might be better for you too. ❤️
Unless I absolutely must for professional reasons, I will not be watching your nuclear war movie. I will not be watching your incredibly bleak and depressing murder show. I will not be watching your artistic despair. It’s nothing personal, I just don’t order water when I’m already bailing my boat.

It’s official! Today, Gov. Pritzker signed the NITA Act, which funds Illinois transit and provides Chicagoland with a central agency to plan, fund, and deliver a world-class transit system. The bill also removes mandatory parking minimums within a half-mile of major transit hubs!

I will NEVER vote for a politician who votes for anti-trans legislation. Never. I don't care who it is, it's a dead issue. Move on. If my vote is so important to the future of democracy they should have thought of that before they voted to exterminate my child.

I missed this but this is probably the truest thing about the man.

He stands for nothing. An utter void.

He and his like are hungry ghosts.

Chic hits #1 today in 1978 with “Le Freak”, a song originally titled “F**k Off!” — and written after the band was turned away by the bouncers at Studio 54.

“We go back to my apartment really pissed off,” said Nile Rodgers, “and Bernard starts singing, ‘Ahhh, f**k off!’ .. and that became the hook.”

Transphobia is a luxury belief. Yes, ordinary people are often ambiently transphobic, but they have bigger things to worry about. The true believers are wealthy, powerful, influential, and face no real hardship that would force them to prioritize issues that affect them.
They genuinely don't have anything better to do. These are not people capable of great things. That she was so capable, that trans people can attain successes they must win with lies & slander, gnaws at them. Even when they win, for them it has no savor

I bet if someone came out with an mp3/flac music device with that late 80s/early 90s Sony build quality, they'd have a pretty solid hit on their hands if they targeted and sold it right.

It may not start out as a ipod level hit but I could see it ending up there.
