Luigi’s Manifesto… this is worth your reading time today. archive.is/7jUsF?

When people start celebrating acts of violence—not out of malice, but with a kind of grim admiration—it’s a sign that the system is no longer working. open.substack.com/pub/aridrenn...

Current read. Who else loves audiobooks? ❤️ #booksky

“This is our moment to elevate humanity, to defy the gravity of fear pulling so many into the worst of themselves. It is our chance to resist the jittery, unremarkable fraud behind the curtain by exposing him and refusing to respect or bow and obey.” open.substack.com/pub/johnpavl...

Kintsugi is a Japanese art of repairing broken pottery and other ceramics using lacquer and powdered gold, silver, or platinum. Kintsugi translates to "joining with gold". Instead of hiding cracks, kintsugi highlights them with gold to tell the story of the object, finding beauty in damage.

I was in training all day yesterday and didn’t see the news until this morning. Congratulations to the South Koreans who stopped a coup yesterday!

Religion does NOT belong in our schools! Agreed? ✋

This makes me happy!

Just finished Weyward by @emiliahart.bsky.social A tale of three resilient women across time. I’ll be thinking of this one for quite a while. ♥️ #booksky

Where are my growth mindset friends & lifelong learners? Are you here? “Do the best you can until you know better. Then, when you Know Better, Do Better.” ~Maya Angelou

Saw #Wicked with my daughter yesterday. Sadly, I can’t think of a more appropriate allegory for our time.

I’m so disappointed in Hugh Jackman 😭

It’s a question we ask all the time.

Until abortion is legal in every state, lets require men to get a mandatory vasectomy until they are proven emotionally mature, financially responsible and ready to be a father. Wait, what do you mean regulations on men's bodies make you uncomfortable?

Once again, abortion bans are not "saving babies." New data shows the number of abortions actually increased in 2023. If they really cared about the babies, they wouldn't restrict abortion access. youtu.be/GeNB7aPWIps?...

Another woman has died as a result of a strict #abortion ban. In states with abortion bans, doctors are hesitant to give women the care they need. Her name was Porsha, and she was a mother of 2. 😔 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

I changed my mind about #abortion when I started listening to women’s stories. (Sorry for linking to TikTok, but this is where it was originally posted) #exvangelical #listentowomen www.tiktok.com/t/ZTY69PT9J/

My 15 yo daughter deserves so much better than what America is offering her. I’m heartbroken 💔 many days. This is the year I became “political,” and this is the reason.

Saw on fb marketplace this morning. Talk about giving dictator vibes… 😳

Nailed it!

#ohio is giving #folklore vibes today

I met someone last night who said that she’s “pro-life” in that she doesn’t believe in elective abortions bc of her religion. But she also said she doesn’t think the government should legislate on abortion. She votes pro-choice bc she knows not everyone has the same religious beliefs. Respect.

A must read for all parents and anyone who works with kids. #therapistsky #booksky #nonfiction #mentalhealth

Remember, it’s okay to not be okay. Take a deep breath, reach out for support, and know that you are not alone. We’re in this together. 💙

I know everyone is talking about Matt Gaetz but please don't miss this: Georgia fired every single person on its maternal mortality review committee. Why? They didn't like that reporters found out that the state's ban killed two women www.propublica.org/article/geor...

There IS a left-wing agenda, and it’s to prioritize compassion over greed. Kindness isn't a limited resource.

Abortion bans are hurting women. I don't see why this is so difficult to understand. This is what I explain to every person who claims to be "pro-life." #abortion abcnews.go.com/US/miscarryi...

Another #religioustrauma training coming up in Feb. 2025. For therapists and social workers #therapistsky www.eventbrite.com/e/sacred-sca...

I adored this book about the meaning of family and the many ways family can be created. @lauriefrankel.bsky.social #booksky #adoption

Pay attention to what’s going on and make your voices heard. Donate to orgs like the ACLU who are fighting in the courts.

Power is with the people. Democracy doesn’t crumble if we stand together, vote them out, and refuse to back down. This fight is for all of us. Let’s rise, resist, and make them regret underestimating us. 🖤🔥✨ #ProtectOurRights #EqualRightsForAll #StopTheHate

EXACTLY THIS 📢 “How do democracies die? They die slowly because the masses aren’t paying attention… until, when they notice, it’s too late.” “What is the first rule of not allowing authoritarianism? Do not obey in advance… do not acquiesce.” @tarasetmayer.bsky.social

Politics Girl Leigh McGowan is here!! bsky.app/profile/poli...

Friendly Bluesky therapist here. This is your reminder to relax your shoulders, unclench your jaw, and soften your eyes. Now take three long, slow breaths. You got this. #therapistsky

Quick Signature Needed: tell senators to say “no” to Trump’s cabinet picks. #momsrising action.momsrising.org/sign/cabinet...

Urgent Call to Action. This thread will tell you about H.R. 9495 and walk you through how to contact your reprsentative. If you see your representative on this list, I urge you to call or email them today and tell them to vote no on H.R. 9495 🧵

Someone on #therapistsky was looking for a training regarding #religioustrauma I wanted to share this one coming up in Dec. www.eventbrite.com/e/religious-...

Good morning, Bluesky. How will I get through the next four years? First of all, I refuse to watch the news. I’m getting my news from Bluesky and Substack. (thread) @hcrichardson.bsky.social @briantylercohen.bsky.social @meidastouch.bsky.social @thomhartmann.bsky.social

Just so we’re clear - Any party telling you who you can love, what gender you are, which medicine you can take, which books you can read, which history you can learn, what prayers you should pray and what you can and cannot do with your own body, doesn’t give a fuck about freedom.

Watch an actual ticker count of new BlueSky users here. As of 6:03 ET, there are over 19 million and counting! I think it’ll hit 20 million by the end of the day. 😊🫶💙 bcounter.nat.vg

Now that Nazis and Proud Boys have invaded Springfield, Ohio and Trump won the election (and won the city by 150 votes) their Haitian community is already fleeing. I'm sure the factories will just hire Nazis and Proud Boys.

Columbus, Ohio #ohio

Women are suing their states for the right to have an abortion. Another reason to support the ACLU. Thank you for your newsletter #abortion #abortionishealthcare @jessicavalenti.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/jessica/...

From one of my favorite authors. I had the opportunity to see the Eras Tour twice with my daughter. It was truly a magical experience that I’ll never forget.🫶💙

This is brilliant. #Demvalues #Resist

Loved loudly, proudly, and with no hesitation. The way it should always be.‍🌈‍🌈

It’s not an apology when a parent says: I’m sorry you want me to be perfect I said sorry. Stop going on about it I’m sorry you misunderstood me I’m sorry you can’t get past it I’m sorry if I made a mistake I’m sorry you’re so sensitive I’m sorry if you’re offended I’m sorry you feel that way
