Hey, hey, this premiered tonight on Apple TV. My husband and a whole lotta friends of mine spent the last few years making it. It’s very good. You should check it out.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

He's bound to screw up and disappoint, because human. But he is by all accounts, a guy with skills, values, ethics, and principles, and a sense of humor about himself. And I think we can say, hey we should elect more people that meet a baseline of those things.

ditto for someone's code, writing, music etc "brilliant assholes" cost you so many great contributions from other people and are never ever worth it.

Anyone else notice a lot more road rage-y drivers right now?

Tolkien is not perfect but he did, in fact, hate the fucking Nazis.

Greetings from the Dirksen federal courthouse, where Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino is set to appear before U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis. What you need to know, for @wttw.bsky.social:

This whole thread is just.... Cannot believe it needs to be said, thank God it is being said, and fuck this shit, abolish everything that led to this.

Guys who keep laying off hundreds of people a year keep saying this

We can be mad about all of it -- every single trespass, every injury. It's not a zero-sum game. (and it all springs from the same rotten core.)

I feel like we don’t have to settle —because we CAN have progressive candidates who DON’T have Nazi tattoos. This isn’t a big ask, y’all.

Oh shit, I'm supposed to be writing. Byyyeeeeeee (for now)

Hi. There is an influx of government sites and I’m gonna use what little clout I have To say Don’t bait them. pay them DUST. Commit to boosting coverage of what they do, centering the voices of who they target . In fact start muting folks who over antagonize them

It IS funny that the official portrait has such strong Viggo the Carpathian energy.

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on. Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights. Block, and move on. This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

Truly amazing that some folks set their personality as "You like things? Gross. I'm FAR too discerning and cool to like things."

Help Abo Jameel

Can anyone recommend a Romance-themed or Romance-friendly bookstore in Alabama, preferably toward the north? Looking to do a driving tour of the South to celebrate Books & Bewitchment this February. 🐿️

I actually have a script revision I need to finish, so, uh... I'm gonna log off for the day and go do that. Please take care of yourselves, and each other, out there.

- Posts Tom Holland Umbrella video - Posts new thread discussing Tom Holland video - Person who does not follow me replies to 2nd post with the "Shame" meme for... not posting the Tom Holland Umbrella video. Y'all. Y'ALL. I have no grace left.

It’s nice to watch that Tom Holland Umbrella video now, in the midst of all this bullshit the right is pulling about gender, and see him take the whole performance completely seriously. He never plays the gender stuff for laughs. FWIW, Zendaya is also great in her piece and plays it the same way.

It’s been a while, and I thought I’d be kinda over it? But no, it remains his best work.

Deleted my cancer posts because people just can't help being pedantic and/or condescending dicks.

Keep thinking about the absurdity of punishing people, particularly children, for daydreaming.

Martha is 10000% right. I would bet real money that ICE agents have massive domestic & sexual violence histories even before getting these jobs. And their glee at targeting women at protests is palpable.

Very tired of writers who are considered "quintessential" always being, y'know, white guys. Tired of the archetypal idea of what a writer looks and sounds like, what personality type they have, how they write, what they write about, all being centered around white guys. It's so f*cking alienating.

Again I guess my problem is At some point WE KNOW WHAT THE WORST OF US IS GOING TO DO What are WE going to do for the people being targeted They ENJOY when we give them all this press while their targets get whisked off They aren’t intellectual or unaware THEY ENJOY THE HARM

If you have the means, please consider helping out Sydette, who is wonderful!

Yeah I really need help with this . I’m gonna go hyperventilate into a bag but this has gone bad quickly

Any politician can and should do this! It's easy, actually, to stand up for the folks who need it the most. Lovely write-up by Katelyn here.

I feel like @blackamazon.bsky.social should see this.

I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning: www.burnsnotice.com/you-have-to-...

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Just chipped in. Plz give to the Sameer Project if you can; they have the people and infrastructure to efficiently distribute food and water as the trucks start rolling back in.

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do. In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap. Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.

being trans is awesome and trans people are amazing and gender is a dumb box and anyone who makes their own crowbar to smash it from inside is a hero actually.

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.

I found the agitators! They are 2 unicorns, giraffe, canary, panda, mouse, dinosaur, mouse, Stitch, and the frog! And they are right outside of Portland's ICE facility! 🤣🤣🤣 #ProudBlue

this is a good thread! Betty Yee was just endorsed by the Progressive Democrats, I hope she starts to get more attention in this race and that we don’t end up with a villaraigosa or caruso as gov

They know they are ridiculous people and the thing they hate most is being laughed at. They want everyone terrified and intimidated by how MANLY and LETHAL they are, not laughing because they got got by a grating frog.

Just saw a post asking horror fans for “a movie with a devastating, soul-crushing ending that isn’t The Mist” and it made me furious all over again at the adaptation of The Mist. (for those who don’t know, the novella ends on a hopeful note, and the film… does not. it’s a betrayal. A BETRAYAL.)

questions which are stupid because they're asking for magic shortcuts. They want to know how to do a thing without work. Which is why also creatives are often treated like what we do isn't work NOT REALLY. When skull sweat is labor and laborous. Anyway when all else fails, sleep on it.

Me, young Emma, oh that's easy to answer Her, eyebrow arched Me...tell them you put a coin in the idea machine Folks, she laughed so long and so hard and asked if she could use that. I was pleased as punch. But later as I created, I realized the real truth under what I had said People ask

it critical. When I was young I met a hugely prolific author of western historical fiction. I didn't know her or her books. We talked about that stuff, she was amazed I didn't ask the 'stupid' questions she normally got. Me, what could be a stupid question Her, 'how do you get your ideas'

Click through so you can also read what she's responding to. A huge part of the creative process, for every single creative I've ever known, including myself is you need down time to think, usually while doing another thing that doesn't require thought. This time, this space, this brain wandering

Because it feels relevant as we continue to evaluate the media and our representatives’ statements, my favorite way to identify the active vs. passive voice.

And before anyone thinks "that'll never happen", I present to you the revisionist public rehabilitation of GW Bush.

When this is all over, and it comes out that he is/was indeed addled and advisors were feeding him lies and ai... it's vital we don't let anyone use that information to absolve him of any responsibility for every horrific act the admin is doing.
