Just became a paying subscriber to @natalieweiner.bsky.social and @marissarmoss.bsky.social's terrific DON'T ROCK THE INBOX newsletter so I could get my grubby paws on their playlist "Songs For Keeping Going." Join me if you need wisdom + community today: www.dontrocktheinbox.com/p/put-a-reco...

@wired.com seems to be the Teen Vogue of this administration. This is the first new news subscription I've purchased in quite a while. Grateful for their invaluable and well-sourced reporting.

When people ask how those without access to systems of power might combat the rising fascist tide — think of graffiti. The radical orgs of the 70s knew this. It’s visible, it sticks in the mind, it establishes the presence of the speaker not as an individual but as a representative of the collective

AMC Theater employees, be for real: are your families being held hostage? Is that why you’re trying so aggressively to upsell me at the concession stand?

If you think about it, the richest man on earth stealing the personal data of private citizens and working to illegally dismantle systems that care for the world's poorest and most vulnerable people is also a kind of violence. www.timesfreepress.com/news/2025/fe...

During Kendrick's halftime show a man unfurled a Palestinian flag and was chased off stage and eventually tackled and removed by security.

I think an American flag created entirely by black men at the Superbowl is one of the best pieces of art I've seen in my lifetime. I hope it actually killed some folks. And I hope it finally closes the fucking book on the argument that we shouldn't use the flag to fight the God damned fascists.

I was a meeting today and someone made a reference to “mental health and poetry,” and I thought they said “mental health and poultry,” and now I’m wondering what that would include.

What’s the best audiobook app? 📚🎧🤷‍♂️

There are a lot of reasons to be distressed about the state of the world right now. Here are 13,500 reasons to be excited -- that's the number of children in Hamilton County Schools who will benefit this year from the Chattanooga Future Fund. Watch this video! www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyqG...

The Nazi salute during the inauguration of an American President was the last straw for me. I'm ashamed it took me this long.

Hey it's me, Sonic the Hedgehog! Today may be scary, but now it's up to us to be the heroes we need to see in our communities. Our institutions and elected leaders have failed to prevent this moment, but if we work together to stand up for our friends and neighbors we can make a big difference.

Special thanks to @themountaingoats.bsky.social for uploading a high quality version of the music video for this song today specifically. If you haven’t heard it before, you should listen to it. If you have heard it, chant it like a prayer.

If you feel like you're watching the culture disappear into something unrecognizably grotesque and cruel, you're not crazy, you're not alone, and now is not the time to lose your values or your voice. The families who will be most brutalized by what's to come will need them.

We live in the dumbest timeline imaginable.

It is deeply frustrating and confusing that a city with so few truly pedestrian-friendly spaces would allow the ones they DO have to be degraded in this way. The wear and tear of those vehicles on those surfaces create additional cost burdens for taxpayers too!

It’s giving March 12, 2020 vibes

Thank you Eugene Goodman for saving our Democracy during the Capitol insurrection #January6th

in 2020 I watched a documentary on the 1918 flu pandemic. I'll never forget this quote: "as soon as the dying stopped, the forgetting began" "it is in the individual memory... but not in our collective memory. that's the greatest mystery to me—how we could have forgotten anything so horrendous."

smashmouth was so right, the years really do start coming and they don’t stop coming

Can confirm.

One thing about USPS employees is you will NOT leave that counter without knowing EXACTLY where the link to the customer service survey is on your receipt.

I’m looking to interview a few tribute artists and cover bands for a new thing I’m writing. Who are your favorites in Middle/East Tennessee and North Georgia? @ me! 👇

Ok #Denver skeeters - I've got 24 hours in your wonderful city to spend by myself. What do I do?

A good holiday trivia question: what specific Bible verse does Linus recite on stage to explain "what Christmas is all about"?

The final US Presidential vote count is out (yes, I know, rest of the world!). According to Cook Political Report analysis, the election was decided by just 229,766 votes across MI, PA and WI out of about 155.2 million cast nationally.

I will never forget the time someone bought the domain name of Guy Fieri’s failed restaurant and posted this fever dream of a menu.

@dicknixon.bsky.social care to comment?

a thread of cute dogs in the sun ok I’ll go first

Fun fact about me: @themountaingoats.bsky.social were the first band I saw this year (acoustic duo, Birmingham) and they’ll be the last band I see this year (full band, Chattanooga). I hope they play my favorite song (Hostages) but honestly as long as everyone is safe & has fun, that’s what matters.

I was honored when my friend David Cook asked me to share some thoughts on how our population is growing, how our land is being developed, and how it all impacts the Valley's farmland. Thanks for reading and have a great Thanksgiving. 🍁 www.foodasaverb.com/post/thankfu...

It’s really crazy that even after all these new people have joined Bluesky that I still have the cutest dog in here. That’s just how life works sometimes I guess.

Happy birthday to the undisputed King of BlueSky: @theferocity.bsky.social 👑🍾

Trump's second inauguration will take place on Jan 20, 2025 -- Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. What are you doing to get ready?

Hey it's me, Sonic the Hedgehog! Remember: the fascists thrive on your attention - don't let them have it! If someone is being annoying in your mentions, hide their reply and block their profile. Bluesky's nuclear block is the ultimate power: starve the fire of oxygen before it even starts!

Super excited to support the work of United Way of Greater Chattanooga and their indispensable 211 service with my friends at JMac’s on #GivingTuesday. Come join us! www.eventbrite.com/e/hand-for-h...

IN SEARCH OF: good long form podcasts about music and bands, in the style of Stay Free: The Story of the Clash or KCRW’s Lost Notes 🎵

Just bumping this. Sound off in the comments!

darkly funny that the end result of qanon was making a pedophile in charge of law enforcement

Thanks to Sonic the Hedgehog for doing this. 🏳️‍⚧️💪🏼

After four years of governance that's all about "tearing down," "removal," "elimination" etc maybe the American people will be ready for a ticket that is about 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘨𝘦𝘴, 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘳𝘰𝘢𝘥𝘴, 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦, 𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥. #Buttigieg/Shapiro #manifesting
