Is anyone else simply exhausted being in the US? The hubby and I have talked very seriously about simply abandoning everything, cashing out pensions and all and moving overseas. It’s depressing because we love it here, but the medical care, the politics, the expense- I’m just done.

I feel insulted…. Lol

This definitely made me chuckle!

Happy Mother’s Day !

Went to Magee Marsh a week ago - the weather held off on some migration - heard it’s hopping now and I’m sad I can’t get back there til next weekend!!! Bird fever!!!! #birds

After a social media break, I’ll be easing back into things! Let’s have some fun! Favorite springtime activity: bird watching!!!!! What’s yours? 🌷🌻🌹🪻🌸🕊️🦅🦆🦜🐥🐓🦃🦉🦉🐧🐤🐦🪹🦩🐦‍⬛🐦‍🔥🪿

Just a reminder……

Ice pushes on Lake Erie with Cedar Point behind it - feels so apocalyptic!! Cedar Point is closed for the season - #landscapes #abandoned

Metzger Marsh -I believe trumpeter swans - found the only patch of water! #birds

31st wedding anniversary - Maumee Bay Ohio area - we always go winter birding. Yesterday, the weather was brutal with ice and wind but worth it for the northern harrier and eagle! #birds

@jay.bsky.team There’s rising call for Elon to buy BlueSky to force libs back to that horrid platform - please reassure us that you all will remain - we have nowhere else to go where civility and common sense prevail. Thank you!

lol - went to sleep at 9,990 followers - thought I’d wake up to breaking the 10,000 mark - BlueSky said nope! Lol I couldn’t be any closer!!

I started Twitter in 2009 but didn’t post much til the last 6 yrs. I got up to 3300 followers. The last year it was miserable with little to no interaction on anything I posted. I am 10 followers short of 10,000. And I’ve had more interaction here in 3 months than in the last year. Thank you.

@60minutes.bsky.social you giving in to a fascist req. has cost you a long-time viewer/payer of streaming service. I love Star Trek &Criminal Minds, but I’ll give them up -Relinquishing those tapes is giving up freedom of press, 1st Am rights & you are no longer trustworthy for news consumption.

My biggest Lego project yet! 1229 pieces, all sorted! Let the building begin!! #LEGO #LEGOS

It’s starting………….

@jamesthomes120.bsky.social Alright y’all!! Meet our newest member of the Creepy Men DM list!!!! He thinks that women who set boundaries are misbehaving and rude! Feel free to preemptively block !

Ignore the dirty window at the bottom where the dog keeps nosing lol - song sparrows and finches enjoying the bird seed snowman my son got me! #birds

Ok, Dem reps:STOP sending us fundraising emails & texts right now. Y’all didn’t even ask for audits in an election that feels compromised. Asking for counts isn’t going against peaceful transition, it’s due diligence for your constituents. No $ right now. Fucking earn those donations.

Timeline cleanse ! Niagara in the winter!

@thiswillgetsuspend.bsky.social Block and report this sick account !!! @jay.bsky.team @safety.bsky.app Whoa - what the heck??? It’s been reported but this needs to be removed immediately!!!

Oooohhhh today’s Creepy DM Men addition has a bon-a-fide celebrity y’all!!! @tomjones111.bsky.social is begging for friends!!!! Apparently he doesn’t care that I specifically said “do not message again” because he’s a real celebrity so of course I would want to break my own rules and message him! 🙄

@tomjones111.bsky.social @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app Y’all really need a verification system … Or Tom Jones needs a life … one or the other-because he’s hitting me up in DMs begging to be friends even though I clearly stated I’m not interested. It’s getting old BlueSky. Give them some protection !

@jay.bsky.team @safety.bsky.app I’m going to go ahead and say y’all should probably suspend this guy right away - and maybe put out a post about how this wouldn’t be your method of communication.

@raskin.house.gov Is this person associated to you or your campaign? If so, please send me a DM so I can forward you some messages.

Sunday vibes Part 2 - finished the parrot, cooked some steaks and sweet potatoes, and am fixing to log in and play a little alt shadow knight on EQ2 (EverQuest 2) #Legos

Sunday vibes - working on my Lego parrot, watching Next Gen :) #Legos #StarTrek

This is awesome!!! @jay.bsky.team thank you for this amazing platform! Please keep it safe! If you need donations to keep the lights on, PLEASE let us know!!! There’s tons of us that would donate to keep this site as a place to keep misinformation at bay!!!!

@huntnfish8.bsky.social love your photos ! Been lucky enough to visit Montana a couple times and can’t wait to go back!

It seems that some WANT to be on the Creepy DM Men list!! Ladies, feel free to add @maddsbryan.bsky.social to your block lists! And check out my pinned post for more men that can’t respect the simple wish to be left alone!

For new users, here’s a great tip!

Just a reminder! I’ve seen a few threads that have gotten icky because maga freaks are getting engagement here. Do NOT feed the trolls. In a few short weeks, Trump will have given them everything they want & their lives will still be shitty. They’ll be looking to take that anger out on us, here.

Ok. My profile/bio say CLEARLY I’m happily married & I do not want DMs. I’m old & cranky. I do NOT want “new friends” that can’t be bothered to post on my page but only DM. So if you continue to message after I say no, you’re getting blasted on my page & added to this list.

On today’s Creepy DM Men episode - I give you @jameswillia4ms.bsky.social He doesn’t care that a woman says no or that she’s not interested in “being friends”. He thinks belittling a woman is the proper response to a firm but polite “no”. And these incels wonder why they can’t get a woman. 🙄

This!!

@tcolicchio.bsky.social yay!!!!! I’m so happy to see you here on this platform!

Day 2 of muting the words “T” and “R” and my algorithm is already adjusting and my timeline, while it has “muted word” posts is overall shifting to more science, nature, birds, dogs and more. I’m less stressed already and considering sharing more of our travel/nature photography pics here!

I am beginning to wonder if I should start a “I’ll take the hit so you don’t have to” block list! But it is rather fun sharing the responses of these guys - and yes, this one I was rather cranky with! Another to preemptively block ladies!!! @andrew5g.bsky.social is the profile !

I hope they stick with this open support.

For my own sanity, I’m considering muting the words “Trump”/ “Republicans” - I think it’s time to ignore politics for a bit to restore some of my joy. I realize we have to fight but honestly? I’m exhausted and maybe it’s time these stupid MAGA fucks experience it ALL head on. I’m just exhausted.

Here’s another for blocking- honestly the entitlement from these douches is astounding! Feel free to preemptively block! @borisneil001.bsky.social

I can’t wait for all this “culture” shit to be done. He shot his wad today w/the gender stuff, closed down the HHS page that discussed abortion, & is put his ban on the border. What’s he going to do when they no longer have that to bitch about? MAGA will turn hard on him;now it’s a waiting game.

Another joyous man who reads the bio of a married woman not interested in DMs, decides to DM anyway then gets pissy when called out on it. Thanks for the chuckle before the block @zachwillamsmusic

Wild horses at Teddy Roosevelt National Park - Oct 2024 We loved this park! Definitely worth the trip, although, I would go in the fall - minimal bugs, lower temps! Just beautiful and honestly, quiet and peaceful! #teddyrooseveltnationalpark #wildhorses #naturephotography #nationalpark #horses

Ok younger and trendier people - help an old gal out - what does it mean when someone says someone is mid? Or based? I can’t seem to piece those 2 slang words out -

Love this!!!!

@mccarthy247.bsky.social another creepy stalker who dares to criticize a woman who doesn’t respond to his DMs with open arms … who are these men?? Bots I know but what do they even get out of it????

Hit follow on them!!!!
