Happy New Year, everyone! Here's to :65 more chances at the best news we've ever heard. I wanna see every one of you back here same time next year, you hear? Never give up, never surrender. 💜

Is there anything more personally heartbreaking as a trans person than having an egg spouse whose only argument is ever, "It's too late,"? Not, "I'm cis," (which would be fine), not, "I'd get fired," (active duty Army), only, "It's too late." 😭 This is why you don't crack others' shells.

I'm doing my first ever Amazon return today. We got the wrong replacement cable for our son's laptop, so it's worth the effort to trade it in. Wish me luck!

So, all of *our* housing allowance goes directly to the company that manages the on-Post housing for our station. Does that mean they'll get this, too? 🤔😬

If you don't want people interacting with your posts, don't post them.

More of this nationwide please!

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Hey !👋 If you are an animation studio or want an illustrator for your TCG game, I'm available 😁. You can see my artworks on my media. People seems like them and I can work a lot. And I'm cheap And ... PLEASE ANSWER ME PLEAAAASE ! I WANT TO WOOOORK ! 😭 (small joke but I'm still looking for a job 😅)

Just had a look at my YT wrap-up for the year and was a little surprised to discover this was my single most-listened song this year. I would've put money on it being either Ruthlessness or No Longer You. youtu.be/q85zE0JQamc?...

Disappointed to see this. 160 union workers are fighting for a fair contract at Individualized Shirts, a US factory that makes high-end men's button-ups. The managers there have rejected the union's request for fair wages and health insurance. The union is asking for support 🧵

I do not support election results being “called” before all the votes are counted. Total bullshit to me.

Once again, I really felt like I was slacking off all year. I feel like I should be proud of myself for this but I'm only disappointed because I could've done better if I'd actually *tried*. ☹️🤔

Y'all… Look at how beautiful (and affordable) this human-made art is. Go get you some.

Had a fun time yesterday. Kept it lowkey, had one friend over to share a whole roasted chicken, some green bean casserole (w/ homemade cream of celery soup), Stove Top dressing, Crescent rolls, and a homemade pumpkin pie. We watched Dorkness Rising. Fairly stress-free, chill feast day, all-told. 🤔

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! In this time of growing Christian Nationalism, it is important to remember the *real* history of Thanksgiving. The Puritans didn't just come to the New World to flee persecution, they came here so they could be the ones doing the persecution.

He for sure needed somebody else to tell him this bc if he could've read the uniform himself, he'd have realized it was mirrored immediately.

Happy Wolfenoot from Affirmation Coyote! Affirmation Coyote's friends got them a subscription to the Prey of the Month Club. The first gift was a pocket gopher stuffed with hazelnuts.

ideal Saturday morning palate cleanser 🧵

Scientists recently combined DNA of a cheetah with the DNA of a crab. Things went sideways real fast.

Gettin' real sick of people who've only ever encountered US Christianity making broad claims about what religion is. 🙄

Im debating turning this design into an xmas card, but its unlikely people would buy it if I did. But please give honest opinions….

just learned we won an award for our blog post about Tom Holland and stormwater management. remember, when you see an article about stormwater management, you repost it. i don’t make the rules.

Hey gang, i had to get my galbladder removed and insurance did not cover enough. Im recovering fine and will be ok. Im also offering a special colored shaded headshot commissions for a discount of $50 ($20 off). Examples below. Dm if interested! #art #artcommission #commission

Hi if your comic has crowd scenes, hire me to draw them. I love drawing crowd scenes. I'll do it so right. Pencils, inks, whatever. Just hire me for the crowd panels and I'll disappear after they're done.

As it currently stands, I've got about 2 months of downtime before the next long-term production I have lined up starts rolling, so. If you need some quick Animation Lead / Storyboard Lead work, gimme a jingle [ DM's and business email both work ]

PS I'm aware I'm being 'that guy', but I can't help but find it disturbing that a criminal, abuser and possible child molester, is only now having his power base threatened because there's a rumour he did something 'gay'. As a gay man that is worrying.

Your occasional reminder that you can just say what you mean. You don't have to couch things in sideways speech to be understood. If you mean, "You're a bigot," say that. Don't perform bigotry thinking they'll see the cruelty and change their ways. They'll only see that you're just like them.

omg if you live next to a field of horses they're literally neighbours

I've definitely noticed a trend of gross 'reading elitism' here on Bluesky. Way too many people think reading books (but not audiobooks!) is the only way to learn new things and they're better than you because they've never sullied themselves with other forms of entertainment. ☹️🤔

Watch for this young woman?

I would posit that if the international treaties against torture are what is holding your country back then your country doesn't deserve to get ahead and holding it back is a moral obligation for everyone else

This is one of my main issues with people who try to argue that ICE shouldn't be doing what they're doing to "non-criminals." Call me a radical but I don't think that people should be extrajudicially kidnapped by a paramilitary force even if they're criminals.

To be fair, she was tried and convicted because she didn't do what she said she would…😜

100% said this and feel free to quote me on it. Also @jackiekashian.bsky.social is a fantastic comedian and you should see her when she comes to your town.

Duh? You have to know it's never going to be appropriate to suggest someone should meet with violence. This should be the response for *anyone* who does this. Too many people these days wanna be the knights who rid their king of his 'turbulent priest' (see Pizzagate, Mr. Pelosi, the Hortmans, etc.).

People’s language comprehension is terrible. The number of times I’ve told people that being intersex is as common as being a redhead that has led to them going “wait, all redheads are intersex?!?!” Is about one in four

I wish Jorts were here. ☹️

Holy sh y'all! Even the wealthy think this is bs!

hi! would anyone be interested in sketch headshots? I need to pay off some debts that piled up in october ;_; $30 per character turnaround time: ~4 months rt's are very much appreciated! 💌

Here's your occasional reminder that this painting depicts a man who has stood up to argue *against* the institution of public schooling. Everyone around him disagrees and thinks he's foolish (bc he is), but they let him say his piece anyway. It means, "I'm wrong, but thanks for listening."

I can't wait to see all of the incredible, "look who just showed up in Hell," skits when it finally happens. @stanzipotenza.bsky.social is gonna be eatin' *good*.

I’m once again asking the #retrocomputing community to please back this Kickstarter! Really want to read this story! Please and thank you!

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely. *If all goes by the regular schedule

Oh, forgot to mention that if you want to read the first chapter of the new book, it's on the site for free: us.macmillan.com/books/978037...

Today's a great day to support some creators. Writers and artists and creatives of all sorts: reply with a link to one of your works. And feel free to tell us about it. Everyone: let's check through the replies and buy some creations and support some human beings.

Is there anyone reading this who either has experience with, or knows of someone who has experience with, writing your own renderer for godot? The project creation dialogue lets you choose between three renderers, implying I could create a fourth.

I'm so sick of people complaining about Presidents golfing. It's based in the same childish envy as "people on SNAP eat lobster" or "welfare queen" rhetoric and we should be ashamed. 🙄

You guys, I actually managed to use all of the fresh veg I bought last pay period before it went bad (and I got a good amount, too). Clap for me? 😅
