Seriously - if any of your social media companies informs you that stuff from your accounts has been turned over in compliance with a federal grand jury subpoena, SHUT THE FUCK UP IMMEDIATELY and stay shut up until you consult an attorney. Who will also tell you to stfu, but professionally.

this, all day right now (unmute, it’s a bop)

Noem is mad about the whistles. Good job everyone.

The UCP didn't want the courts to find their bills unconstitutional, so they decided to skip the courts and subjected these transgender children to their authoritarian leadership. Here are the bills that Marlaina "Danielle" Smith, Qassim Mohammed Makki "Mickey" Amery, and the UCP stand by:

Hey! Northern hemisphere folks: this is my annual reminder to myself and perhaps also to you that if you have the schedule autonomy to permit it, get out for a walk or whatever during daylight hours! It's important! You can work more when it's dark but you need whatever sunlight is available!

I put the now-dry blanket back on the couch but somehow it became Possessed. Angie investigates.

Today is my birthday, and in honor of that, please buy some trans books! They don't even have to be my trans books, just buy trans books! Every day! Forever!

Once again, I'm begging you to stop treating us all like we deserve this. I'm queer and disabled. I can't move out of state. I didn't choose this president, and actively tried to change people's minds. Please stop assuming we're all "stupid"..

Ooooh...

It is such a joy to share this trial with the Long COVID community! We know the second 500 will be tougher to recruit & we'd love your help to finish enrollment quickly with as much diversity as possible longcovid.scripps.edu/locitt-t/?ut...

I'm at the Target boycott, I'm at the Starbucks boycott, I'm at the combination Target boycott and Starbucks boycott

Even leaving money entirely out of it, yeah this. I like to write and I like to paint and I like to cook for instance but all of those things are easy to get demotivated about if you're the only one who wants the results. "Who is this for?" Needs an answer.

$0/$270 $70 for auto insurance; $200 for credit card bill (very delinquent) Please consider helping us in this difficult time! Husband applies for dozens of jobs each week and hears back from none. It's tough out there right now. Thank you!! #MutualAid #MARequest

authors you have the chance to do the funniest thing right now

parents freed a hummingbird from a skylight with a coleus flower attached to a pole

Just... I think there's a winning political message there. "By Medicare for all, I also mean that the government should pay for a tiny woman with sharp elbows to absolutely fucking demolish your back." "It's a Human Right."

"Queer BlueSky: how old were you when you came out and how old are you now?" I'm not gonna tell you how old i am now because this is the internet. But I am pretty darn old and what nobody told me when I was a kid is that you keep having to do this shit over and over forever.

Dear inkvent participants: DON'T SPOIL PEOPLE, FFS.

some people are edging dangerously close to trying to both-sides the goddamn Civil War but leftishly, and no, absolutely not, we are not doing that

The AI bubble may be about to bust. Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock. We all need to say this very clearly: NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH! Expropriate their asses instead. They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet. They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

I don't expect the bluesky mods to enforce their TOS against government accounts. But they are the ones who decided to make the social media site where all the autistic people hang out. "Say what the rules actually are, then apply them like you said you would" is a bare minimum for this crowd.

I got federal charged for dancing across the street from ICE in my neighborhood on Indigenous People's Day. Here is the feds evidence photo they are using against me in court. I really really need a good lawyer but I cant afford one. Cash app $cozca Venmo @cozca503 Working on a go fund me.

My most woke opinion is that "woke" at root is a beautiful concept: active socio-political consciousness in the context of the Black American liberation struggle. And the way it's been turned into a sneering pejorative is one of the ugliest things I've ever seen in Western political discourse.

Random fountain pen thoughts: while I hesitate to make a full "Kari approved" pen and ink list because I fear having to immediately eat my words: for folks who want a US made ink that isn't fashy: THAT i'm pretty confident about. Birmingham The Wet Pen Papier Plume

PSA: if you are a cannabis grower in the United States or have been thinking about starting to grow, get any seeds you’ve been wanting to buy online before the end of the year. The new changes to the hemp laws make buying seeds online illegal again as of January 1, 2026

And that's always the way, right? If speaking out usually paid material dividends, everyone would do it. But in fact, it usually earns punishment. Personally and professionally. That is a big part of what makes it brave.

People who have the character to be brave now were brave earlier during earlier tests of character. And aren't in positions of power, because that sort of bravery is seen as disqualifying from power.

Can I trouble you for pet pictures? I'm just having some emotions over here.

Buckle up, I think we’ll be seeing a flood of this kind in the coming week. Seems like marching orders are to flood the zone with unapologetic confessions.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Artists & Art lovers! Time to get geared up for the biggest art event of the year on Bluesky! Last year we had close to 1500 artists from 25 countries posting original work daily from December 1-24

I, for one, am glad we are reconnecting with the true meaning of the season: terrifying children into behaving with threats of festive eldritch beings from lands time tried to erase. Do the adults next.

I have been alerted to the existence of this horrifying elder god y’all worship in Nova Scotia. What the actual heck, Canada? www.moderntraveller.ca/home/waking-...

Just for my own edification, if you are BIPOC and living in Canada and write gothic horror do you mind saying hi to me on this thread? Off the bat respectfully I know of Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Premee, Nalo Hopkinson, I love all of their work and have their books.

Character in the book I'm reading who knows damn well the supernatural is real: "yeah there's totally a rational explanation for all this, oh people I don't wanna tell all my business to." Me: "y'all wanna hear about the time in South Dakota that a bridge troll threw rocks at my friends and I?"

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.

And in fact, by continuing to give power to these men, you are losing exponentially more knowledge than they could ever contribute Not only are they more fungible in their own position than they think but they operate like scarecrows, warning away countless flocks of decent people

How tf did you get in here and what do i do about you?

I suspect there’s a deep and unacknowledged fear of disability and a refusal to face one’s own vulnerability at work here

I blocked the person who needed to know this, but: it is literally still a pandemic. Declaring it over doesn't make it true. A disease is endemic when it exists in the population in predictable rates. Look at any covid graph. That shit look predictable to you?

I managed to keep my heartrate down but that probably still counts as getting mad online. So. I owe you a ghost story but i'm going to bed so i'll think of a good one to tell you tomorrow.

The Seattle Symphony Hall at Benaroya is at 5CH. You can feel the breeze on the back of your neck during performances. Most people need to understand this: while you get sick and die, the rich have implemented mitigation prevention policies in the places they go.

Among other nonsense, the way that thread refs epstein barr and CMV like they aren’t known to cause future cancer in a lot of people, amongst other bs. The thing COVID taught me is that we have never been taking viruses seriously enough, writ large.

For the fifty billionth time: I don't want society to shut down. I want you to mask at the fucking hospital, bus, airport, school, and grocery store, if you can. If you cannot, I want everyone else to, to protect you.
