My community college library (in beautiful Portland!) is hiring a Library Web Services and Technology Manager! This is a brand new position where you'd be managing some great ppl. #LISjobs #Libraryjobs portlandcc.wd12.myworkdayjobs.com/External/job...

In just an hour and a quarter, we've already raised over $2500 for red state and national queer orgs! We can do this!

So 1st apt with new cardio who specializes in #POTS, 2 hrs away but doable. And apparently totally worth it?? Because he’s doing tests to look for comorbidities? And then actually prescribing treatment beyond “drink more & exercise a little”? I am. Boggled. In a good way.

All those Discord alternatives that y'all are trying to push (Stoat, Matrix, Fluxer, Root, etc.) will have to comply with this as well if we don't stop this. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES EVERY DAY & TELL THEM TO VOTE NO ON KOSA, SCREEN Act, & ANY OTHER INTERNET CENSORSHIP BILLS!

Important insight. ALSO, I have no patience (and I mean ZERO) with people who say "they won't ban birth control." They will eventually try BECAUSE WHAT THEY WANT IS TO CONTROL YOUR BODILY AUTONOMY. We need to be proactive about BODILY AUTONOMY IN GENERAL.

It is OKAY to not have a clear answer right away. You aren't Doing Gender Wrong just because other folks have a clearer path to their identity. Just means you've got a different one and the destination will be just as fuckin beautiful and queer and worthwhile.

It's hard to explain the neighborhoods in Minneapolis to people outside & how hard each have been hit, but this is another one in critical need. Please share outside Minnesota Bluesky in your broader circles, religious congregations, etc. If you happen to know any multi millionaires, chat 'em up?

If you're based in NYC & you are interested in grassroots public history projects like for ex radical walking tours, I'm co-organizing an event on April 11 bringing together others who are interested in the same thing. I'll share the registration link in a couple of weeks on here. Nerds unite!

We don't talk enough about politicians learning to do their job. There's no way to be trained to run NYC in advance. No position is similar enough to fully prepare you. How Mamdani does, and what he learns, will be a case study in fighting gerontocracy by giving grace for younger people to learn.

My mom was just telling me that my brother in law drove for Lyft last year, he drove 19k miles for Lyft, and brought home $875. Total. He LOST money on driving Lyft. It probably didn’t even cover his gas. Because Lyft took such a big cut. Just. Wtf are we even doing here?

unbridled brilliance

Still need about $100 because of some additional bills. Needed by this Friday or I’m gonna be late on mortgage payment. #MutualAid #CrowdFunding #TransCrowdfund

I’m short again this month, this time for mortgage and Dr copays because I foolishly bought food before paying mortgage. Need about $100 probably, if anyone can help out? #MutualAid Venmo: venmo.com/u/TheBookewy... PayPal: www.paypal.me/LiaWolff05

Finally watching the Kung Fu Panda exhibition for the first time. And y’all. I thought I was ready. I was NOT. I love Misha so much. #MilanoCortina26

Remember Skype? What ever happened to them? Before the pandemic they were like THE video calling platform. Everyone had Skype & even used it on phones to video call. I can’t remember the last time I even heard them mentioned let alone was called on it.

Oh Alysa’s skate was effervescent!! Gorgeous!! And her reaction after was so joyful!! Amazing! So happy for her. #MilanoCortina26

Oh Amber was ethereal in the free skate until that last jump, and then the last 30seconds or so was so raw after that stumble. Proud of her anyway. #MilanoCortina26

Got home from all day Dr apt an hour ago & immediately turned on Women’s Free Skate #MilanoCortina26 peacock replay (no spoilers pls) and there’s no venue feed replay so watching the tv replay & there has been a commercial after every single skater so far. And I pay for this shit. Ugh.

Having my first ever mammogram this morning (soooo early ugh) and they had me change into a gown top and go into a secondary waiting room. This one has gnomes and little plants and soothing music though. Really trying to enhance the experience I guess…

Looking at the SP vs FS segment placements for the men and wow is it Ordinals Gone Wild. Among the crazier swaps: Ilia: 1 ->15 Adam: 3->12 Mikhail: 5->1 (!!) Stephen: 10->2 (!) Shun: 9->3 Yuma: 2->6 This is peak Menning! #MilanoCortina2026 #figureskating

my fave part of the event: misha's coach whispering in his ear that he just made the olympic podium and his full 10 seconds of buffering #MilanoCortina2026

because I need to heal, here's the very touching moment when ilia malinin congratulated mikhail shaidorov on winning gold seconds after his own dream was crushed #MilanoCortina2026 #figureskating

I have never been so relieved in my LIFE as when my #POTS test showed conclusively something was abnormal. Every test I’d gone through previously was normal. But I was still sick. I still couldn’t function properly. But nobody could help. Until finally I had an answer, something to treat.

Y’all. I am losing my mind. In no way did I have Ilia finishing *8th* of all places and fucking MIKHAIL SHAIDOROV MAKING FIGURE SKATING HISTORY AS FIRST KAZAKHSTANI OLYMPIC CHAMPION EVER on my bingo card. Absolutely blowing my mind. I wish Denis could have been here to see this. #MilanoCortina26

Yuma clapping and giggling while presenting us a sobbing Shun is absolutely sending me. I love them. #MilanoCortina2026 #figureskating

Can't decide whether Ring's ad trying to use dogs to get us to opt into their surveillance program or Amazon's "lol what if our AI killed you?" ad was the most dystopian

Ok y’all leave my girl Amber alone, she is an amazing fucking person and amazing skater & has fought so hard to be where she is, which is aOLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST BTW!! She deserves no hate #AmberDefenseSquad

Bring back earnestness and sincerity.

Many of you already know that our colleague and founding board member, Fobazi Ettarh, has passed away. We want to take a moment to acknowledge her loss and honor what she meant to libraries, our community, and her friends and loved ones. www.thrivelib.com/news/honoring-fobazi-ettarh

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Venmo‪: @Imani‬-Gandy Cash App: $imanigandyABL Paypal: @imanigandyCO

🚨I hate having to write this. He was scheduled for surgery this morning, but our family vet found his red blood cell count had dropped. They told us if he bleeds during surgery there, he could die on the table because they don’t have blood products.

Was finally able to donate to this. Please consider donating yourself if you’re able. Librarians gotta take care of each other! Fobazi’s loss will be felt keenly by many, but most especially her family dealing with care costs from her long illness.

going to get rich by selling courses on how to shitpost to mock grifters

Ok. Men’s WAS wild as predicted. But SHUN WAS ROBBED WTF!! That skate was fucking FLAWLESS! His PCS should have been so much higher! Like I’m happy for Team USA, but I’m mad on Shun’s behalf. He did so good. #MilanoCortina #FigureSkating

Missed the first part of Women’s Free, but caught my two faves Amber and Kaori and wow! Amber is gonna come back fighting in the individual I know. But men’s free is gonna be WILD with that US/JPN tie going in!!! #MilanoCortina

Something I can’t believe just occurred to me, but figure skating judging panels are absolutely using AI to help determine technical elements like synchronization rates between pairs & angles of under rotation & such aren’t they? & probably have been for years.

It pisses me off enough that I still get ads on Peacock when I pay a subscription (1 of many reasons I cancelled, but Olys are easier to watch with it). But then when they insert those commercials IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ICE SKATING ROUTINE I AM LIVID!! Fucking NBC.

Ah I’m glad you’re on the list! Here’s a way to help a trans Girl Scout AND help a Minneapolis family against ICE at the same time! I’d already ordered the max I can afford, but maybe some of my followers still need some cookies?

For once he’s not laying on me with his butt in my face! Only problem: I kinda need to pee nd I’m stuck. 😆 #Caturday

Finally bought my Girl Scout cookies now I’ve been paid. I supported a #trans Girl Scout & you can too by using @erininthemorning.com amazing list here! www.erininthemorning.com/p/2026-trans...

I stand corrected, you could still hear the boos when they cut to Vance during the entrance of team USA. 😈

DONOVAN GOT TO BE A FLAG BEARER!! Im so happy, he so deserves it! #MilanoCortina26

Holy shit, one of the Team USA flag bearers is apparently from the next moderately sized town south of here, and where I used to work, where my Brother in Law works now. Talk about small worlds. #MilanoCortina26

Watching the Olympic Opening Ceremony replay, and I wonder as I always do, WHO ARE THE OTHER PEOPLE MARCHING WITH THE ATHLETES?? You can’t tell w the bigger teams, but the ones w only 1-2 athletes competing it is obvious. I am so curious. #MilanoCortino26

So Peacock definitely cut the booing of Vance out of the replays, unless it was later in the program….

This is Maria, a 6-year-old detained by ICE last year. She began to unravel soon after arriving at a detention center in Texas, wetting the bed after years without accidents, crying through the night and begging to breastfeed again. Most of all, she wanted to be reunited with her cat, Milo. 1/

Blueskyese and Xian share an obvious common root as both being Twitteric languages, the difference is that after the split Xian became a hybrid Twitteric/Channer-linkedin tongue, while Blueskyese changed less overall but did pick up some tumbleric and redditor loanwords

Imagine living in a world where people become billionaires by causing human suffering... writing books so popular you become the rare billionaire who gets rich without causing human suffering... and then deciding to use those billions to cause human suffering anyway just for the love of the game.
