Prisoners in Auschwitz would put on stand-up shows. POWs under German occupation would put on stage shows. Enslaved people in the antebellum south created entire genres of music. Etc. Joy is not a luxury; it is survival necessity.

Chime just screwed me out of $450 the night before a move. Blew a MASSIVE hole in my moving budget. I am so goddamn fucked.

Since I'm speaking how I really feel this morning: I pretty much just assume that if more than half of your content/reposts are political that you're either a bot, a paid actor, or just have ZERO life outside politics and generally just go for the block button. Get a hobby. Any hobby. Trust me.

Things I've learned from the baseball post: * Some ppl will make ANYTHING about I/P. (At a certain point ppl who've made it their whole personality are harming far more than they help) * It's not a 'kids game' you sanctimonious scold, 80% of the crowd were adults. They literally sell beer dipshit

FYI for the fandom peeps (sit down, folks who liked the baseball post) my Tumblr handle is the EXACT same as here.

people are following me because I made one (1) baseball post and please understand while i appreciate the enthusiasm and god knows i mourn the dearth of sportsball content on bluesky I post almost nothing about sports normally and I don't really plan to start

Going to be super honest, the unwanted 'Carousel' feature for images basically means I'm going to curtail posting on Bluesky by about 95%. It ruins Bluesky as a fandom space (I'll just go back to Tumblr).

I'd love to say it was Vilke Lavellan, the true matriarch of my entire DA world state. I'd love to pretend it's Sara Cecilia Ryder and how I became absolutely feral about her as an OC and Andromeda as a game But we all KNOW my fave is Gabi Surana Aldwir, Heroine of one or more blights

"Expanding the Supreme Court is no different that redistricting in California and Virginia. It is a proportionate response to Republican attempts to degrade liberal democracy and move America toward a post-liberal order."

posting for worms and maybe you can get some as well (parasites)

huh ok guess we're doing a booba qotd Gabi 'caught up' some thanks to having Kione (v small) & isn't exactly *small* but Vilke is def bigger. Kione is DEF flattest, near her mom when young. Meanwhile Amalia Hawke might be Bethany's older sister but she's not her 'big' sister. #daocqotd #dragonage

Decided to do a chart of my OCs next to their love interests. Since Gabi has had two and Hawke/Tallis is messy, also added dates for their relationships. #dragonage #daocqotd

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia— AOC: Wah wah wah. We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

fly to australia, watch sportsball. AFL runs from March to August, AFLW runs from August to November. Continue watching American sportsball on TV/stream. Use the last of the full funding to get permanent residency.

if you gave me dictatorial powers, it's weird. Like, I wouldn't go the whole persecution route, I wouldn't be the type of person who would terrorize the state... ...I'd just ban leafblowers (yes including electric) and two/multi factor authentication, and call it a regime.

I am so upset right now, TikTok quietly added a feature which turns on an AI feature on all the TikTok’s you have already posted to allow Ai to remix and make content of your TikTok’s and I didn’t know, you must go to privacy settings on your TikToks to turn it off yourself, want to warn others 💔

Gabi Surana...DID give up when Nathaniel died (in between Inquisition and Trespasser -why she was searching for a Calling Cure). Left to the Dalish and later the Veil Jumpers and only returned whem the world needed her in the fight against the elven gods.

I never really talked about any of my Dragon Age OCs' heights aside from acknowleding that Gabi is short, even relative to other elven women and Jordana Mercar's generally fairly tall for a human woman. Here are height charts for both my main World State (The Family) and my secondary WS #dragonage

i've decided against working on any further lore/story for my Fallout 4 OC. I might have been emotionally invested, but that was largely an audience of one. Going to focus on finishing the Sara Cecilia/Reyes Mass Effect story when I have downtime here during the move.

they got the Church of England supporting the Pope now

Don’t get me wrong, incredibly based and morally just ruling, love that for them. Just… not where I expected it from.

MONTANA SUPREME COURT: “Transgender discrimination is, by its very nature, sex discrimination,” and is subject to strict scrutiny under the Montana Constitution.

man who knew the pope was gonna emerge as the decade's top subtweeter

I like bluesky because it feels so much like tumblr 1. barely works 2. userbase is annoying (affectionate)(not that affectionate) 3. being queer on here feels like I’m actively participating in ruining some tech company’s investment

bluesky today

I understand Pope fatigue (I was confirmed by a child molester) and to an extent it's a Let Them Fight situation but it's genuinely important and different that the Catholic Church, a major geopolitical actor with endless resources dating back millennia, is coming out hard against fascism this time

NEW: Chicago Progressive Partnership super PAC, which launched ads attacking Kat Abughazaleh and then eventually in favor of Bushra Amiwala as an apparent attempt to split the vote, has filed its FEC report, which reveals it was another shell group for AIPAC and its allies

Trying to explain St Augustine to the pope, the former head of the Augustinian order, who wrote his doctoral thesis on Augustine, on his way back from celebrating mass at the Basilica of St Augustine in Annaba, Algeria, overlooking the site where Augustine lived is peak Adult Catholic Convert.

While Jackie Robinson isn't here to be acknowledged on the day named after him, do you know who is? Mrs. Rachel Robinson herself. Who will be turning 104 in July. And she still serves on the board of the Jackie Robinson Foundation

I’m not under any illusion that if I had a sordid history that I needed to atone for, ppl would find me more electable bc of my redemption arc.When I ask Graham supporters what quality I could have that would put me ahead of him, they fall silent. I suspect it’s bc the answer is “money and a penis.”

as an ex-catholic (i'm not their type) it's vindicating seeing all the surprised pikachu faces & tantruming poutrage from conservative radtrad catholics who are SHOCKED. AGHAST. to learn that yes, evangelicals (and edgelords) were just using them for power & hate them just as much as the rest of us.

Just going to leave this here. Write me in for U.S. Senate in Maine. Andreaformaine.com

Péter Magyar, who unseated Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán Sunday in a landslide, shared a bombshell with reporters that the outgoing leader had diverted taxpayer funds to bankroll the American Conservative Political Action Conference. trib.al/ct7GGV3

Today is officially the 30th anniversary of Steamed Hams. On April 14, 1996, "22 Short Films About Springfield" aired for the first time!

This is one of those things where I think liberals (esp upper and upper middle class ones) *really* lose the plot a lot of the time (NOT OP) The state of funding for *students* is DIRE in higher ed, thanks in part to repeated slashes and freezings in student aid by R's (and Dems letting them).

I don’t even like her or her music that much but when you realize that Roan, who left her talent agency when she found out the CEO was in the Epstein Files, is getting more hate than half the people in the actual Epstein files, you do have no choice but to become this woman’s strongest soldier

A lot of kids were looking up at the stars these past 10 days and dreaming of going to the Moon, or being the first person to walk on Mars. That's the impact the Apollo missions had on me, and Artemis II just reignited that for a whole new generation.

I've put together 4 log entries as a first 'chapter' for my Fallout 4 OC. All are written from Shaun's perspective spanning August 2287 to October 2287. I even explain the vampirism origin within the lore (courtesy both game and the vampirism mod itself) #Fallout4 ellipsus.com/read/4DTyAyh...

Anyway, I know some Maine Democrats will scold me, but whatevs, I’m inspired by @andrealaflamme.bsky.social’s so-called “long shot” campaign. She’s a reproductive rights activist & public health professor. I like that she doesn’t have a Nazi tattoo. I donated to her campaign & she wrote me a letter!
