🦋 WELCOME TO BLUESKY! I recommend exploring our custom feeds, which are a little like hashtags but more interesting. We have them for academic and professional subjects, sports, cities, hobbies (e.g., gardening, baking), and many more. Search them in the sidebar under Feeds. 🧵

There have been small, meaningful projects resurfacing. Real people emailing me about things I believed forgotten. It’s reassuring to know the care I put into my effort still reaches people. As an artist, that’s all I hope for. As a person, that’s all I want.

Bro I'm struggling with my disability so hard -- how do I not beat myself up. How do I believe in my capabilities if I'm not able to operate?

I really miss the “ intro+verse+chorus+verse+chorus+bridge+chorus+outro” formula.

I raise you Then and Than

uhhhh

The Trump administration is eviscerating post-Watergate efforts to protect the Justice Department’s integrity, and the case of NYC Mayor Eric Adams illustrates the results.

i dream of a world where Blacksky is more notorious than Black Twitter so users can get jobs bc of their content/virality too

Industry companies really overlook the importance of working with small sites & creators. For some reason the criteria is that they need to hit a special following number before they even glance in their direction, but even then, what's offered is free (digital usually) stuff, but no payment.

Electra and Etcetera energy 😭

Munkustrap

Every time I interview and get hired for a job, management is SHOCKED when I express I need an accommodation. Immediately following up with “you said you could do this in the interview” “I expressed my capabilities, and now I see that I need more support. I could not have known this before.” Dawg.

Whether you're a translator, editor, or project manager, giving feedback to your coworkers (and yes, I'm including freelancers in that) only helps to improve the overall quality of someone's work. But do it wrong and you could risk power harassment. j-entranslations.com/how-to-give-...

are we finna “Vive la révolution” in these streets

Handicaps and disabilities don’t just like…. up and walk away lol it took me FIVE years to get to this point. And i’m not all the way there yet. I’m close, tho!

i’ll never NOT emphasize how meaningful it is when people don’t punch you down and hold your symptoms/chronic ailments against you.

people who understand what it’s like to have an invisible disability and give you grace to do your thing ❤️

it KIND OF sucks to wonder if every weird smell is a symptom of another ischemic transient attack or is another stroke and every day i’m reminded by the fixed vocal fry on the right side of my voice box. So FUCK IT i’mma sing my heart out bc this rasp is so dope and I’m gonna live it up.

people who think DEI is a slur and we don’t need inclusive language to make people remember not everyone is like themselves: bro that’s like actually pretty self-centered and closed minded of you. To HAVE an opinion on the rights of minority, etc. you must acknowledge we’re human beings among you.

DEI is when a woman or non-white person who is qualified for a job receives that job. The meritocracy is when a 19 year old gets to run the United States government because he posted the dankest memes

Ya boi finna be Dr. Girlfriend / Dr. Mrs. The Monarch out here the way my natural speaking voice became a vocal fry after my MASSIVE STROKE SCARE in August (so when you hear a deep vocal fry with a voice remember that's a symptom of having HAD a stroke/scare.)

"red lining's not real" then please explain this

Dude I have the best friends 😭

I’VE WAITED FOR YOU ALL THIS TIME FIVE LONG MONTHS I’VE WAITED FOR YOU FIVE LONG MONTHS I’VE SEARCHED FOR YOU *exhale whisper* Bring Me The Horizon’s Newbury Comics Limited Edition “There Is A Hell Believe Me I've Seen It. There Is A Heaven Let's Keep It A Secret.” Etched Sandstone 2xLP

revamping my closet with clothes I ADORE makes me want to style cute outfits and styling cute outfits makes me want to go outside and do things!!!! Invest in yourself, it really is all worth it. :)

These are the good guys supporting DEI. Reward them with your business. Costco Meijer Kroger Giant Grocery Ben & Jerry’s Ulta, Macy’s Old Navy Nordstrom’s TJ Maxx GoTo Foods ( Moe’s Southwest Grill, Mcalister’s, Auntie Anne’s, Jamba, Cinnabon…) Dollar Tree Walgreens Wegmans

Don't make me tap the sign

My current boycott as much as possible list. Built mostly off this link but includes a few other bootlickers. www.forbes.com/sites/conorm... Amazon Boeing Brown-Forman (Jack Daniels) Ford Google Harley-Davidson John Deere Lowes Meta McDonalds Molson Coors OpenAI Tesla TikTok Walmart

Hey while megaretailers profiting one of the richest men in world are out here doing this shit www.advocate.com/news/amazon-... maybe it's a fun time to switch to @librofm.bsky.social for audiobooks. Select the indie bookstore you'd like to support, listen away. Comp prices to aforementioned jerks

examples for emphasis

Fashion. Fashion is a massive economic force and reflects geographic political alliances, personal politics and religious values, class, and attitudes towards gender expression. Not to go full Miranda Priestly, but I do think you can look at someone’s fashion and tell a fair amount about them.

Parts of me are recognizing how the universe conspires to remind us our hard work did not go to waste. I’ve been reconnected to people and welcomed back into space I didn’t anticipate. Many of which I thought left me behind. What marks I left are still there, leaving spaces only I can fill.

If you’re planning on watching any Lynch, my advice is: don’t watch any analysis videos, don’t think about what stuff is “supposed” to mean, just get your own unique experience from it!! I think people have become far too concerned with the “correct” interpretations of media. Just experience it!!!

Using "my get up and go got up and left" is a very good TL for やる気ない

How did it take me this long to realize that 裏切り者 is literally “backstabber”? 🤦‍♂️

My toxic trait is collecting rare contemporary records. I keep looking at the things I can’t buy because I have to be “financially responsible” or whatever and it tears me up inside.

Now that it is tax season I remind everyone: DO NOT USE TURBOTAX. THEY WERE REMOVED FROM THE IRS FREE FILE SYSTEM AND ARE NOT BOUND TO THOSE RULES. Instead, if you make $84k or less a year, use any of the IRS Free File options found here: www.irs.gov/filing/irs-f...

When working with considerate people, their understanding of my disability symptoms and flexibility on time is so appreciated. My anxiety is bad enough and worrying about how my ailments will be received makes it worse. Having the space to alleviate myself means so much and ensures speedy recovery.

Finessing emails from my Therapist deep in my archive makes me feel so clever

JUST IN: Another team of Mexican firefighters has landed in LA to help combat the wildfires. Thank you, Mexico 🇲🇽🇺🇸

These firefighters are amazing, man. They are helping my friend’s cul-de-sac prepare for the worst right now. Cutting vegetation, putting outdoor furniture into garage, duct taping vents, etc. They do so much more than we know to protect us.

All work is now up online! Prints are also available of select pieces! Payment plans are also available! nucleusportland.com/collections/...

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!
