"Who would have predicted this?" - Black women did. - Trans people did. - The *entire* disability community did. - The anarchists did. - Post-Evangelicals did. "Well why didn't I hear them." You did. But you disregarded us as "extremists" and "alarmists". And you are still calling us that.

I’m really loving Hannah Kaner’s Fallen Gods trilogy. I’m on Sunbringer now. I’m only about a third of the way through, but I haven’t seen what people thought was so different from Godkiller. #fantasy #booksky

All this actually demonstrates is that Bluesky is just as bad as X and is dominated by ragebaiting grifters. It's an extremely sad reflection of the state of people's minds and it's extremely unhealthy. There's a serious lack of accounts with high engagement that offer any "true value".

I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad

Printing...printing...printing... It's my own fault for making so many options. Get yours on my website: www.emmalerae.com

Palestinian families like Hammam's are being hounded & starved to death in Israel's genocidal famine & invasion. Please help by sharing & donating if you can, Hammam's family is still trapped & urgently needs funds for shelter, food, & travel to escape the IDF, they're in great danger:

This is your all too frequent reminder to people of my approximate complexion that protest voters, abstainers, people who voted for 3rd party presidential candidates in 2016 or 2024, and everyone who voted for Donald Trump at any time will not be forgiven.

On this historic National Tylenol Causes Autism Day, the "RFK Jr makes some good points" people have been officially upgraded from assholes to extra-strength assholes.

Yeah, you’ve got a solid chance to beat him at Mario Kart.

It’s important to remember Charlie Kirk’s final words where he was being transphobic and anti-Black.

I bought a candy roaster squash. It cost more than a pack of cigarettes.

I have that anti-fascist delta, fellow Trek nerds, and the LOVE people give me for it...!

My favorite sign of the night.

13 years ago this week, LACC (formerly Stan Lee’s Comikaze) stole my art and I had to get a lawyer to issue a c&d, to get them to stop selling merch with my art on it. Nice to see that they found another layer lower in the bottom of the barrel. This is gross as hell.

It’s not like I’m going to get a better job anytime soon. Maybe I should just start doing drugs.

“Maybe I met him on some boys’ trip? I feel like I’ve seen his penis before. Have we ever gone swimming at the same time? You have a mole right here under your rib cage, right?” said Trump

So, Bluesky, you might wanna rethink how you push posts. I should not be seeing ass crack from a findom when I’m trying to follow disability posters. At least not unless it’s behind a cut.

shouldn't have to see the words "fingerblasting with your story’s subject, RFK Jr." on this, my birthday

OH MY GOD

I lost my dream job. For doing journalism. For fighting for people to able to express themselves. In America.

Yeah, if you're feeling that level of despair, do yourself and everyone else a favor and log off. I'm going to start blocking the doomers outright.

I am trying not to criticize people who are just now grieving the way a lot of us have been grieving since last November (or 2016, or 2004, or 2001, or 2000, or 1996, or…you get the idea…). Shit gets real for people at different times. It’s important that you take a moment to grieve & then work.

@aptshadow.bsky.social I didn’t hear you mention that “Battle Beyond the Stars” is an homage to (or ripoff of) Seven Samurai in the Starship Alexandria episode. Did I miss it?

people are acting like if you don't rsvp to the rally then you won't know where or when it is. like there isn't instagram facebook bluesky mastodon twitter reddit signal snapchat tiktok where people can just provide information about the location and time of a protest. stop being weird.

Here’s what a Ball State University employee said that led to their termination:

please do not use these tools. please do not do this to people.

Apropos of nothing, I am begging - BEGGING - the most privileged among us to stop looking for problems or manufacturing them to make themselves feel smart, and then dumping those problems on the rest of us to fix like it's our fault they exist.

folks, I want to remind you that a ton of federal workers are about to get their last pay check at the end of this month and this stuff is going to get much worse

IDK I just don't want my name so easily subpoenable in connection with a thing the admin could easily target. Some of the protests I've been to have turned into riots! Things lit on fire, stuff smashed, wjstever. I'm very glad my name isn't on any kid of list associated with those.

LOL. Guys. We don’t register to protest. We just show up.

Civility is when you peacefully back down against the people who want you to be servants or dead so the stock market can keep going up.

Wherever you are, please attend an ICE Watch training. Then link up with a rapid response network, if you're able to do so. In Chicago, trainings are happening regularly. Once you manage to attend one, you can contact OCAD about getting plugged into a rapid response network.

Percival Everett gave the SC Governor the best nickname. No longer is he Foghorn McMaster. He will now be known as Pinch Wheyface.

🧵I spent a couple of hours handing out How to Report ICE zines (⬇️) at a nearby farmers market & though no one seemed to know ICE had been active in the towns of River Forest & Oak Park yesterday, they'd all seen/heard this story "on the news" & a couple folks said "bc he ran, right?"

HIGHLY recommend this on audiobook. Talia narrates it and imho it adds to what's a fantastic book.

Controversial opinion, but I think trans people should feel safe here on bluesky, and nazis shouldn't.

Gargle my balls, Mayo Pete.

An appeals court just gave Trump permission to defund Planned Parenthood. The decision is “a devastating blow for patients across the country,” Alexis McGill Johnson, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, said.

"To all of my followers if you take up arms, I disavow you. I disown you. In the strongest possible terms. That is not what we're about." What did Nick Fuentes know and when did he know it?

I wouldn't be able to save up the money for it for a while, but finding out the folks who make a Linux based mini MPP rack system are cop loves just breaks my heart. I remember when Linux people were all commies.

It's been a gift to see all of the white people who are publicly defending that man. A true gift. They are offering you an opportunity to clearly identify your antagonists.

No fucking way anyone's hopping down 5 meters, potentially on a sprinkler head, and then breezily fucking running away. IDGAF how young they are.
