@darthbluesky.bsky.social Please validate. Arturo is the reincarnation of James Thurber's dog Muggs.

You can't spell Felon without e-l-o-n.

Democrats smeared Bernie Sanders as radical, but he was the only senator willing to save the party from itself before it collapses under the weight of its own corruption. He was an off-ramp for Dems who were intent on driving off a cliff just to collaborate with fascists and appeal to conservatives.

Anyone telling you that Democrats in Congress can't do anything to fight back against Trump because they're in the minority is one (or all!) of these things: a. Lying to you b. Wrong c. A Democrat in Congress So, I'll add to the voices of former congressional staffers to set the record straight.

1. Jared Kushner received billions from the Saudi government and now he is funneling it DIRECTLY TO TRUMP. Money from the Saudis is being used to build a massive new Trump Tower in Serbia. You may not have heard about this corrupt transaction because it has been ignored by most media outlets. 🧵

Best live chat I've seen at work this week: "I suspect that several of my students cheated on their Christianity test yesterday..." (Elective comparative religions course)

Lately I have been finding great comfort in the carnage & sarcasm of Deadpool movies. Fuck that liver.

I've been away awhile, but it seems that now all the cool kids are flocking here. Maybe they'll listen to me next time I say I've found the cat's pajamas. 😜

@darthbluesky.bsky.social This miscreant named Madelyn Snow thought this clever disguise would get her admission to Club Litterbox. Not her first attempt at gate crashing.

A happy National Coming Out Day! My longtime friend & co-worker announced to our work group that she is transitioning & changing her name. She shared with me 2 years ago & I feel relieved that she came out. I can't imagine carrying that secret for over 40 years. #NationalComingOutDay #Victory

It's Deaf Dog Awareness Week! Madelyn Snow & Arturo Otis Niveous were born deaf due to merle to merle breeeding. They are both Australian Shepherds & trained in agility, rally, scent games, & tricks. They can do anything a hearing dog can do except hear. Madelyn just turned 11 yrs old & Arturo is 8.

Don't say to me "at least she's not suffering anymore." Why is it a requirement for terminally/chronically ill people to suffer? Find the fucking cures.

The greatest gift the internet ever gave me- a 25-yr friendship with a person I never got to hug. We met online & the whole country was between us & family responsibilities kept us from traveling. Devo was one of the kindest folks ever. Cancer sucks. Find a fucking cure already!

Today we are pirates. Arrgggh.

@sfppn.bsky.social Welcome to the chattering madness!

@pattonoswalt.bsky.social After seeing you plunge to your demise Friday night, I'm happy you bounced back. I found it weirdly plausible you'd sit down in a Panera with a strange & obvious vampire. Thank you for being a smart, humorous, thinking person & bringing Gizmo & Nandor back together.

I was inspired by the GOP thugs, past & present, to art a little bit today.

GO2 Spoiler Alert! I finished "Good Omens 2" last night & I believe @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com has made Crowley the most frightening character ever. Spurned Crowley is dangerous. I will now refer to great sadness as feeling as desolated as Crowley because that ending just hit me hard emotionally.

Oh fuck. I just saw a politician on here. There goes the neighborhood.

@darthbluesky.bsky.social There's a rumor going around you like dog pictures. May I present Madelyn Snow & Arturo Otis Niveous? Trust your dog.

Just finished reading "If It Sounds Like a Quack..." by Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling. If you've been aware of how the rise of Christo-Fascism began in the US (decades ago), this book ties it all to how drinking bleach to cure Covid was endorsed by a former game show host. Religion has ruined everything.

If you're enjoying Bluesky and you don't want it to turn into the cesspool of hate that Twitter did, you best speak up now. Cut that 'I don't know what to say' shit out and amplify Black and queer voices, because the BS team ain't listening to us.
