if you're looking for a very, very very worthy cause to donate to, this one is it!! scarleteen has been around since /i/ was a queer teenager seeking more comprehensive sex ed than school could ever (or would ever) give me

Can someone link me to some of the trans gay starter packs I know exist on bsky? Having a hard time finding them through other searches bc some sites are down and I wanna be able to hand THOSE out too. Thanks!

“At 17 sites across the Chicago area and around Illinois, roughly 1000 attendees of the demonstrations called on members of the public to not buy or upgrade any AT&T products or plans this holiday season until AT&T drops these contracts.”

💗COVER REVEAL💗 I’m so pleased to present the cover for my contemporary romance novel, A FINE LINE, about a small town mayoral election and the rivals running the campaigns. +

Always check the price of the ice cream at the little wine shop within walking distance of your solidly gentrified neighborhood. I checked the cheese price but assumed the ice cream price and that's how I ended up paying $15 for a pint of salted caramel ice cream.

The good thing about taking my toddler on the bus for a leisurely museum and park visit: now I feel virtuous enough to say "cool now we're watching movies for the rest of the evening."

So dumb when interior decorating content is like "we're loving this color in for fall," I don't paint my walls or reupholster my furniture seasonally! No one does! Its such weird framing unless you're specifically talking about holiday decorations, which they are not.

Buying new sheets worked, should I become a momfluencer, how can I monetize this.

Going to get even more severe on this point: under Woke 2 the only allowable magazine profiles will be of Hero Workers and their enriching hobbies. Anything else is too corrosive to our shared society

my takeaway from this letter is that glenn youngkin, rector sheridan and their flunkies on the board are deeply dishonest people who are engaged, with the trump administration, in a mob-style shakedown against the university of virginia

I recently took a bus that went through College Station. I watched the TX A&M student next to me do the entirety of his engineering assignment by retyping the answers chatgpt gave him. So perhaps the university should be more worried about that than policing professors.

Barnevelders were my breed choice for my MILs flock, and they're looking gorgeous 😍

Fake hot pope photo. Alas.

The modern gender stereotype I least relate to is "women just stay stoic and busy while they're sick (unlike men who are huge babies)". When I have a cold, I am dying on the couch like a Victorian maiden and complaining to everyone I know and demanding tea and taking any sick days I have.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

UNRWA has $1 million match on for Gaza if you want to pitch a couple bucks their way. I know there’s a lot.

oh my god we all know he's in the files so please, for the love of Pete, Republican Party, can we please get this over with

My friend's baby started having sleep issues, and I'm the person to come to if you want unusual advice: "have you tried buying new sheets?" "Give them an empty plastic water bottle and take it away once they're asleep." "Show them pictures of the bed & talk about it (yes I know they're only 8mo)"

No genetic testing needed, this is truly our kid, my MIL told him she was taking him on a tour of an ice cream factory today and he was like "I don't know...🫤 I just want to stay home 🫤"

I'm usually really good at giving very thoughtful Christmas gifts, and I love thinking of the perfect present months in advance. But this year my brain is absolutely fried, I can't think of what people would want :(

For some reason toddler Sparrow sings it "merrily merrily merrily merrily lala lala laaaa" for row your boat, but today he came home saying his grandmother said it was actually "life is but a dream." Jail! Jail for One Thousand Years!

I have officially saved up half the money I need for the floor loom I want. A little scary because there's no dealers in my state, so it's going to be hard to try before I buy, but I'm hoping my local weaving guild can help.

So I've been busy finishing a bunch of FISHMAS decorations! I've put together some sets of four and sevens. If you'd like to hang a bunch of tetras from your fishmas tree this winter, you can find them over here: www.palaeoplushies.com/shop/fishmas

If you have a Dem senator and you're seeing this right now, CALL THEM RIGHT NOW and tell them NO. If you don't know anyone who would be affected by this, call them for my friend Lisa. She cannot afford insurance without ACA subsidies and without health insurance I'm terrified she will die.

Please remember that your Senator is neither your friend, nor your enemy. They work for you. Call them and give them clear input. And don’t be afraid to tell them you’ll be supporting their next primary challenger if they don’t show a spine. They work for you. Threaten to fire them if you have to.

Back on my puffy fluffy doll dress bullshit #sewsky #dollsky

I don't know how I feel about the zoo's choice to go with animal.heads on the giant Christmas tree.

Just watched Safe for the first time and I loved it, an excellent addition to my "not technically horror because I cannot do horror but definitely scary and could be watched by an adult on Halloween" list.

I watched Funny Face (1957) for the first time since I was a kid, when for a time it was my favorite movie, and everyone else in my life was unfortunately right, it is a terrible movie :/ second half was unwatchable, Audrey Hepburn could not save it :/

I am the sort of parent that will block perfectly educational and wholesome content just because I hate the animation style.

My sister is a code switching master, just watching her talk to my teenage cousin from Miami and she's matching the genz slang and the Cuban-American accent.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility. Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Don't trust a New York Times reporter. Don't talk to a New York Times reporter. They are the most ambitious journalists on the planet and will do anything to get the story their editor wants. The truth doesn't matter to them, only getting the story their editor wants so they can move up.

*cracks open my new Mississippi Masala bluray*

I accidentally entered the wrong address for my Criterion 50% off order (address didn't exist) but I managed to catch the USPS driver today! And this was a day off for me, but I sent the toddler to his grandmother's anyway! Which means I was actually able to watch The Leopard (runtime 186 mins).

If you're in Texas, please remember to vote (election day is so under advertised!) and please vote NO on prop 15 and prop 16 (amending the Texas Constitution to provide that "persons who are not citizens of the United States" cannot vote in Texas).

Muting Mamdani for a day because I'm Too Invested in electing this man for a city I don't live in. It's raising my blood pressure. Please vote New York to keep my blood pressure low.

If you're in Texas, please remember to vote (election day is so under advertised!) and please vote NO on prop 15 and prop 16 (amending the Texas Constitution to provide that "persons who are not citizens of the United States" cannot vote in Texas).

YES YOU SHOULD VOTE IN LOCAL ELECTIONS TOMORROW EVEN IF MAMDANI IS NOT ON THE BALLOT WHERE YOU LIVE

To the potato that went bad two weeks after I bought it: I've read Little House on the Prairie!!! Weren't you supposed to last all winter you fucking liar?

I was expecting a "why?" phase but instead I have a "what happens if" phase toddler and it's driving me nuts. "Don't do x." "What happens if I do x?" "...I will be mad?" Come on kid don't make me pre-think consequences for every request 😭

Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back! Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary. Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest! #MundaneHalloween
