I’m exhausted. Truly. But even in all this, I try to connect to the internet, just to send out this message to the world. To let someone… anyone… hear me. Hear us We are still here. We are still suffering I’ve always helped others first. I’ve supported many families, even when I had so little myself

i would ride into battle any day for this big silly guy

Finally… here’s your happy ending! 🎁 Papa Chee has been adopted 🥳 This kind caretaker found him a forever home 🧡 Papa Chee spent Christmas surrounded by love and comfort. And it all started because someone kind noticed a big old orange kitty needed help. Listen to his rumbly purr! 8/

🎄Holiday storytime 📖 (be warned: your heart may grow three sizes 💚) This orange guy is a survivor. Papa Chee is alive and adopted today because 1) he’s smart, 2) he’s lucky, and 3) he chose the right caretaker. 1/🧵 #TNRsaveslives #CatRescue #CatsOfBluesky

friend told me to stop singing wonderwall i said maybe

Get y’all fuckass president outta Nigeria please

Okay can I just say how tired I am of even the slightest hint of titty getting an immediate explicit content warning, but a flood of dongs on here are just out and about, allowed to roam free? Someone please explain how my wife drawing two boobs on my manties gets a label, but full hog does not

There are no accounts left for Reem here. They’ve shut them all down.

how do y’all write birthday cards for the same people for decades straight like i already wrote a mother’s day card this year it’s the same thing

The metric system makes more sense overall but Americans are correct on floor naming conventions and temperature. “I’m on floor 0” No. You are on floor 1.

like this should be included in every single story on the subject idk it’s a choice for journalists not to include it!! bsky.app/profile/rape...

HOLY SHIT UR NEVER GONNA BELIEVE IT

If ur having a bad Christmas I on behalf of all Jews am giving you permission to get Chinese food and see a movie today. It’s not too late to pivot

uhoh guys i’m getting pretty far into this movie and im starting to get scared that tiny tim might die

99% of urban planners quit right before they add the one more lane that will fix everything.

We have to have phone and internet to deal with government and non-government services, we will not apologise for also being on social media building community and asking for mutual aid

Why wouldn’t people expect poverty to be digital? If they hear in the newspapers or something that poverty exists, why is it a shock that in times when everyone’s online, poor people are online asking for what they need?

The holiday season can bring up a lot for many of us, especially those of us who have complex relationships with family. During this time, we want to make sure you know about safe direct services & resources so we’re re-sharing this list you can lean on for support during the holiday season. 💗

It's been 35 years since the ADA passed. Inaccessiblity remains a systemic problem at hotels across the United States.

the greatest love of all

shoutout to my sister who accused me of “cosplaying as a poor person” in front of our cousins we see once a year just because she’s 27 and still lives with our parents and has her mommy make dinner and do the laundry and can’t imagine someone else could have a different experience

humans are fundamentally kind and helpful or society never would have formed in the first place. sorry! the incentives to be social outweigh the incentives to be a massive cunt and i think the proof of that is how we manage to slowly progress civilization even in our darkest moments

actually a really interesting discussion at our last meeting which i think gets at something may was trying to get at abt the impact of format on interpretation- there were long footnotes in the last book! they were read in the audio, and interpreted as tangents by my friend who listened —

and what’s *so* cool about this weaponization of institutions fear of civil rights lawsuits is that now when i say my school is discriminating against me ppl will think i mean some shit like this when i actually mean ‘a professor failed me for an entire course because i took off jewish holidays’

as someone who find visual language processing easier than verbal language processing, i do enjoy being in a book discussion group where people are processing the book in different formats! especially when the audiobook is read by the author, listeners get an experience that i don’t! it’s cool!

Zoomers are actually pretty smart if they try but they have a lot of weird mental hangups because Gen X by and large are really terrible parents. No I'm not talking to you, Bluesky posting Gen X good parent. The stories I hear remind me of talking to boomers about their awful parents

i was so distracted by holiday travel chaos that i forgot to post the best update in the world: papa got a home for the holidays 😻😻 (even snuck in just under the wire for the end of hanukkah if that’s his preference) and i am so so happy for him and his new family

*lois family guy voice* okay i guess i’m not woke but i actually don’t think the whole university can close for two weeks in the middle of the academic year, and somebody needs to respond to my emails about ADA violations and religious discrimination 🫶🫶

unfortunately my most bluesky elder trait is that i still love to get high and act like every post is just a text in a groupchat with my 300 closest friends

we need Link back so bad

There's an audio recording of him, not an aide, asking for votes to swing a state in a Presidential election and that wasn't enough to get him locked up or even keep him from the White House

pov: tragedy strikes on the way to your mom's house

What idiot called that little narc Elf on the Shelf and not Police Navidad?

FYI if you’re in default

one lesser awful thing about the Epstein files is that genuine crimes against a huge number of children are being morphed into fuel for the influencer industrial complex who don't care about truth or accuracy and just want grist for the content mills

it gets notably quieter on here around the holidays which is a shame bc I would love to see how people post from their parents' house as their regressed 17-year-old self

love that software developers are advertising AI functionality in every single app now and it's up to you to try to figure out if they mean "this has spellcheck" or "everything you create in this app will sync in real-time to sam altman's personal laptop" or something in between

kinda weird how liens are harder to enforce if you insist on being paid in a paper check and not direct deposit, and always go to the bank and cash it instead of ever letting money hit your bank account real weird. definitely nobody do that. too weird.

Step 1: Manhattan. Step 2: Everywhere else.

Happy holidays, children! Let's gather around the Discourse Log for an essay about reading, writing, the second-wave turn in popular feminism, and what queer people are allowed to read: jude-doyle.ghost.io/rea/

big tech stealing and burning up the environment for AI while they still can't auto-translate a comment in my tribal language

The de facto heckler’s veto conservative students get in academic spaces is bonkers.

lying down is epic

dumb bitch who got injured at work solidarity ✊

fucked up to think about but there was two grinches on noah's ark

i have never wanted to have sex with a fictional character more than zosia pluribus

Being an incorrigible skirt-chaser even when married and possible low-grade sexual harasser? Bad! Not the same as being a pedophile! Being close with industry lobbyists? Bad! Not the same as taking bribes! The flattening of grey areas with outright evil is unironically part of why we got Trump.
