Yes, I’m an #atheist. And yes, I love #Christmas. Now we need the snow to complete the aesthetic

Shirley Manson has been an icon for my entire life. It was SO great to get to see Garbage last night! They played so many of my favorite songs, and spoke about humanity, justice, compassion. ✊ She even stopped the show to her headphones for a child, when she noticed it was too loud for them! ❤️

U.S. Army sniper gives his opinion on Trump deploying the National Guard into America's blue state cities. #ICE #Protests #PurpleRevolution

Thanks #Oregon! I got my COVID vaccine despite #rfk and his fake #science rhetoric

This is the mild version of my sentiment #women #womensrights #equalrights #resist #getsteralized

Re-watching the cinematic masterpiece “Death to Smoochy” was the perfect (although temporary) antidote to the current gloom in our world. My face hurt from laughing. I really miss Robin Williams #darkcomedy #joy #movies #comedy #coping #laugh

Found a Pacific Tree #Frog in the garage tonight. He was so cute I was tempted to keep him as a pet. But I let him go in the yard. Hope to hear his happy croaks of freedom. #centraloregon #wildlife #animals #oregon #pnw

During these dark days in the US, watching a #squirrel taunt my indoor #cat causing a collision into the glass door is peak entertainment. #coping #laughter #humor #catsofbluesky #cats

My name is Captain Dylan Blaha, and this message is for members of the National Guard across the USA. I've served in the Illinois Army National Guard for over 12 years, including a deployment to Afghanistan and three years on active duty in Europe. What's going on right now is not normal.

ICE, DC Police, Park Police, DHS, and HSI brutally arrested a man who refused to provide identification after being stopped for eating in public. Goons attempted to stop community members from recording his injuries during the incident.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

Why are #doctors so #dismissive? I felt something in my eye for 2 days. Called my optometrist since it’s not resolving itself. No openings until the middle of next week so they tell me I have dry eye and to use drops. They were wrong, but I did find a dr who listened to me and is helping. #angry

What have you done recently to take care of yourself? Share any self-care activities, especially simple or free/low cost things. I’ll go first. I danced around my house to happy #80s music. Nobody was home to judge me so I danced as badly as I wanted #selfcare #perimenopause #genx #menopause #wdnc

On my morning walk I found a wallet on the ground next to a mailbox. It seemed likely the wallet belonged to the home with the mailbox, so I left it on top. As I continued my walk I found a five dollar bill on the ground. I’m guessing this is instant #karma?

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Egg prices are a distraction from the real grand theft. The damage the 🍊💩 is inflicting on this country while enriching himself will be difficult to reverse.

Saturday morning coffee on my deck🌞 I’m sending this message out to all the 🍊🤡 cult members who are trying to destroy science in America…it has survived for almost 250 years & your little temper tantrum isn’t going to stop it now

#Reading this shattered my heart into dust. It’s a beautifully tragic reminder of love’s power to change our lives. #booksky #books #lgbtqia #love #thisbookbrokeme #hollywood #movies #celebrity #fame

Just a #random photo from my #morning #walk. Every year there is a hot air balloon launch a couple blocks from my house. This is the first time I’ve been able to stop by to see it. I hope to go on a ride someday #hotairballoons #bend #oregon #sunrise #bluesky

Hilarious but watch it your own risk. Some things can’t be unseen! youtu.be/Afetnw70S04?... #southpark #fucktrump #resist #censorship

I long to be as #happy as Figaro in his sunbeam #cats #catsofbluesky #pets #gingercats #joy

The US satire cartoon show South Park secured a five-year deal worth $1.5 billion with Paramount Global. They began their season with this clip, challenging Trump to sue them.

Dropkick Murphys kicked ass in #Bend #Oregon last night. They stand strong against #maga, #fascism, and gave us a great show and reminder of community #music #resist #nevertrump #protest

I love reading #memoirs but this one… Imagine you’re 12 years old. Your mom is dead. Your stepmom hates you for no reason & arranges for you to have an ice pic lobotomy. Your dad approves. I really wish this had been #fiction

#menopause crash is a thing I just learned about. Not an official term but it explains the hell my past week has been with brain fog, body aches & fatigue. Being a #woman in #perimenopause sucks At least women are talking about their struggles & there are more options to help. #genx #genxwomen

Whatever happens, stay alive. Don't die before you're dead. Don't lose yourself, don't lose hope, don't lose direction.
Stay alive, with yourself, with every cell of your body, with every fiber of your skin. Virginia Woolf

I finished the 12-book #Poldark series today. Not sure what to read next for my #history escapism. Interested in suggestions that aren’t related to WWII. That era hits too close to home right now. #BookSky #books #historicalfiction #reading

Yesterday was my #birthday. I usually love celebrating, even though I’m getting older. But the combination of #perimenopause and fascism in the US stole all my joy. I forced a smile all day, but I just wanted to cry. Now I have to endure a holiday celebrating the antithesis of the reality we live in

Figaro loves his cat tv. Purcy doesn’t hate it either. They both get to play with a physical toy after their show so they aren’t frustrated. #cats #catsofbluesky #pets #animals #catenrichment

I feel cheated this didn’t exist when I was a kid. The joy I could have experienced!!! #fun #summer #random

Wish I could say this is untrue. But a large portion of the US population is guilty of ignoring or dismissing the lessons of #history. What does it take to actually learn from the past?! #resist #ignorance #bluecrew

My parents recently visited. It was a challenging time because I don’t have much in common with them. But my mom and I share a love of #reading and #books. So I tried to focus on that and even took her to my book club meeting. I think she enjoyed it much to her own surprise. #silentbookclub
