Let’s talk about who’s WEAK on crime.👇 Dozens of Jan 6 defendants pardoned by *TRUMP had prior convictions or pending charges for crimes including rape, sexual abuse of a minor, domestic violence, manslaughter, production of child sexual abuse material and drug trafficking. -NPR

There’s nothing really personable here on Bluesky and it’s hard to find people who really just want to talk about politics, sure, but also share recipes and cat pics, and good articles to read about other cool things. I miss quirky posts. I’d like to get a meaningful moment of respite here…

To deny the past is to deny the future.

Sometimes, all you really need is a hot shower, a massive bowl of pasta, and a lovely glass of wine. ¡Salud! 🍷✨✌🏼

Someone compiled all of the Calvin and Hobbes strips about Calvin’s polls of his Dad, which is proof that good people do exist on the internet imgur.com/a/poll-resul...

“This is not a message of happiness or reassurance, but it is the truth and it is a warning.” - Jimmy Carter An incredible piece I am asking you all to read. (Thank you, @aselrod.bsky.social for writing this.) ✨

Hey America, got a quote for ya. “Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt.” - William “Billy” Shakespeare ✌🏼 Goodnight!

Orban copied Trump. Trump copied Orban. And in the end, the people of Hungary chose democracy and the rule of law. As will happen here too. But only if we do our work, like they did.

I’m convinced these things triggered my migraines but they were cool AF (magic eye, not the migraines).

Swalwell has announced his resignation from Congress. It’s impossible not to ask why Texas Republican Tony Gonzales hasn’t done the same. And why the GOP doesn’t insist the Epstein files, which repeatedly mention the head of their party, be fully released.

I hope you all have a picture that makes you fall in love with your features. In a world that tries to convince you that you’re ugly, I need you to find a picture that makes you feel so fucking good about yourself. Is it your smile? The way your nose reclaims the landscape of your face? Pray tell!

A 🥐 won’t hurt either.

Healing is not always fixing. We obsess over fixing ourselves so much. Like, why? Healing is sometimes accepting that some parts of us are beyond repair, and we must allow ourselves to believe we are worthy of our own gaze and love. Look at all the light spilling through. ☕️✨

I know no one cares to admit these sort of things but just to give a snapshot of how unwell I’ve been: - I have completely fallen off my 430 am routine of reading and writing - I instead scroll on TikTok or force myself back to sleep. - I haven’t had a consistent workout since probably February.

I miss them so much. Genuinely became fond of them “Derry Girls”. ✨🤍

I have to wonder if men ever check other men before befriending them or publicly voice support for. I mean that’s up to you lads, with your male gaze performance just to be picked by other men. Oh? Yo didn’t know the male gaze only affected us women? You perform ‘masculinity’ for other men.

To all sexual assault survivors: I see you, but most importantly, I believe you. ✨

The accusations against Rep. Swalwell are very serious. The victims deserve to be heard with respect, not questioned or dismissed.  I’m withdrawing my support and urge him to suspend his campaign and resign from Congress.

I find that it’s the feeling of “moving on” or simply moving. Anything that tells our brain we are doing anything that could lead to a hint of leaving loss behind, detonates guilt. People wait for permission to move on from the very person who cannot give it. Keep sharing your grief. We’re here.

Extremely annoyed at the amount of AI pics of the astronauts landing when we have actual real cool pictures of it that we should be sharing

I hope Christina Koch (who is married btw) realizes that she is responsible for millions of women crushing on her now. Does she like cats, though? Very important, defining question here.

For a brief moment, for just a few minutes every day, Artemis II brought me so much joy. Welcome home! Also loving how some of the soldiers can’t stop themselves from smiling. 🥹✨

I think NASA has given us the best music video intro since 8:07 pm EST. Like, I want to be in this party now that I know the four astronauts are okay. I hope someone picks a great song for this and creates a music video ✨✨✨

Splashdown! Vehicle is stable and upright. “A perfect bulls-eye splash for Integrity and its four astronauts!” #Artemis

Come home to us safe, Artemis II mission explorers. Please just come home safely. Thank you for giving me so much comfort and so much happiness dying a moment in time that makes breathing so hard sometimes. PS: Canadian maple syrup > Nutella 🥹✨

😂🤌🏻✨

It’s so unbearably dark right now, but to accept defeat is to spit at all those people in Minnesota who became the image of ICE raids and how some of the kindest people will stand outside in freezing temperatures and fight fascism. To accept that the American spirit is dead is to spit on those who

Cops fractured his skull for standing by in peaceful protest. And people in power claimed he assaulted the cops. No hell greater for those who smeared him. RIP.

All I can say about the Iran negotiations is~ Nobody rewrites history better than an abusive man

What is truly wearying is that 25-30 percent of our fellow citizens, braced with the attention span of sedated goldfish, are going to listen to today's soundbites from Trump and Hegseth about this astonishing debacle in Iran and say, "Welp, we won that war." Simply because they say so.

Get it, gurl. Spring’s here, make some eyes at somebody. 🌷 from DIANA, out 10/6/26 from Abrams ComicArts: www.abramsbooks.com/product/dian...

I watched a clip of an Iranian music teacher in the rubble of what was once his music store he opened to the public just a year ago. I just want you all to know that there was ONCE AGAIN no reason for us to be bombing a country.

Come on then, and remove him.

What we fail to say is also a message. Not calling for Trump's impeachment and removal conveys he has not committed offenses that warrant these actions. Or, at best, that you feel he has and are unwilling to do your duty and use the remedy written into our Constitution for presidential crimes.

Imagine!

I saved my last bubu lubu for something absurd and today was the day. Aries season is so extra. Like, calm down you little celestial ram. ✨

I don’t want the late shows to make fun of this. I want them to solemnly acknowledge that them and everyone watching are in the clutches of a great evil that could destroy the world at any moment, and that this threat doesn’t go away until he’s out of the Oval.

The threat itself is an impeachable offense. Don’t let it slide.

To embody just how absurd everything is, you all were worried about the end of the world while I didn’t even have time to process any of it because earlier today, I was laughing about this happening in Artemis II. He staged this psychological terror attack. This time. Who knows what’s next.

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

Last year, Apollo 8 astronaut Jim Lovell left a message for the Artemis crew an it is beautiful. “Hello Artemis II, this is Apollo astronaut Jim Lovell. Welcome to my old neighborhood.” 🥹

I just love seeing how happy they all are 🥲 #Artemis

Artemis II and all the symbolism of my favorite goddess — and queer icon —is really getting to me today. So beautiful in her wild ways. So queer in her existence. So ferociously poetic. 🔭🌙

Trump just called Venezuela's Delcy Rodríguez the "president-elect.” Rodríguez is in charge because Trump ordered the U.S. military to abduct Nicolás Maduro. There was no new election.

Every fucking video about Artemis II and the wonderful tributes to the women who came before is making me cry in the most bittersweet, beautiful way possible. It doesn’t help that this song makes me cry no matter what. ✨

To my fellow Tool fans out there: Maynard had something to say (he served in the Army.) Go check out his insta. ✨

I know people love their sugary cereals and I am no one to judge because I could eat Lucky Charms on any given day… But man, Corn Flakes really hits. Like, I know it’s practically bird food just like an ‘Everything Bagel’ but really. Top notch night meal. 🤌🏻✨ A+

Yiiikeeeees.
