Also - loneliness needs to be studied for its lethality

No, you just spent 5 minutes sobbing in a parking lot because there’s a hole in your sock and it’s only Tuesday and things are tough and it’s only Tuesday

If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

Perhaps now people will stop wishcasting about the US military refusing illegal orders. That's not a thing that happens. The 100% compliance rate with using civilian boats for target practice was a bit of a tell.

Not dead.

Been awake about 30 minutes and I might have already reached my limit on social media today…

So ... you'll be writing them a sternly worded note and then do some hand wringing before you give up and go to lunch? Your gerontocracy is part of the problem.

I think we should bring back the Age of Sail.

A Black professor accidentally started an HBCU on TikTok called HillmanTok. Now other professors have joined in and are teaching actual courses with some offering certs that can be added to your resume Some courses being offered ⬇️

Similarly, releasing a zine last year netted wayyy more income than any online work I did. It was my best paying writing job of 2024 and I got to do wherever I wanted. It's not on the internet outside of my gumroad and when it is it'll be in a free archive. Great!

For no particular reason, here’s a list of pro bono immigration lawyers in various areas in the United States. www.justice.gov/eoir/file/pr...

This is probably what’s going to drive me insane in the weeks and months ahead. Trump’s fascism is going to be presented alongside sports news and wordplay about new animals at the zoo, like all of this is normal.

Love yourself like RPG designers love Capitalized Words.

Crypto is just Mary Kay for boys

I think it's really beautiful that a piece of transfeminist writing firmly committed to epistemic JUSTICE for ALL transfeminine people is so popular in our community and that this popularity has propelled it to a level of visibility in a cis space that would normally be denied through epistemicide

99,000 ducks to be culled in NY. It will take the farm at least a year or two to re-open, if they can. The owner said, “It was like Covid for ducks. Everything ended." Other reporting from USA Today notes avian flu has infected > 138M poultry in all 50 states since 2022. search.app/DdwgyX2Mh5Rc...

IMPORTANT!! 🚨 Surveillance state update — From a friend with informed intel. No more crowd photos of any kind, friends. I’m sorry.

Heads up for the Weather Community! You can now find NOAA (@noaa.gov), NOAA Climate (@climate.noaa.gov) & NWS HQ (@nws.noaa.gov; still being set up) on Bluesky!

The amount of gaslighting that’s going to occur over the next few weeks in an effort to convince you that we aren’t seeing the rise of fascism and white supremacy will be considerable. Be gentle with yourself. Stand firm. Don’t allow others to make you question what you know to be true.

Hi you don’t have to post it. And you don’t have to re-post it. And you can think about the fact that Jewish people are gonna be traumatized every single time you make us see it over and over and over and over. You can just not post it.

This makes me think of @battlekittenbbk.bsky.social

I wrote a book about a disaster, global fire and more than three years of darkness. But it’s not a story of death. It’s about survival and what grows from the ground up.

Over on not-TikTok, I’ve already seen explainers like “Yes, Americans, we have coffee shops” and “Yes, we have pets too” Are people surprised by these discoveries?

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge). You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

It is wild—and crushingly sad—how quickly corporate America has embraced the most basic pay-to-play business practices ahead of the incoming Trump admin. What would considered illegal overseas under the Foreign Corruption Practices Act is now de rigueur here at home. www.wsj.com/business/med...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court upholds the law banning TikTok beginning Sunday if it’s not sold by its Chinese parent company.

The BBC is planning to eradicate audio drama from Radio 3, which will be devastating for writers, other creative workers and audiences Sign our joint petition with @equityuk.bsky.social + @societyofauthors.bsky.social to Save Audio Drama at the BBC change.org/SADatTheBBC #ScriptSkyUK #ScriptSky

Also, RedNote has different community standards and rules which may make it difficult for the LGBTQ and other marginalized communities. I'm not saying RedNote is a social media utopia. I'm *documenting what is happening, not endorsing a product* I beg you to dig deep for reading comprehension.

Once again if you know anyone looking for a writer, editor, proofreader, copywriter, video producer/director/editor, marketing specialist, designer (of many kinds) project manager or corporate assassin, let them know about me or let me know about them because I am trying to work and AI won't let me

Just leaving this so @jeffstormer.gobirds.online sees it.

So disgusted I can barely read the Jack Smith report. Whiteness in America means an adjudicated rapist ,felon, and insurrectionist is a better president than a qualified black woman who has served her country as VP and attorney General of California.

Just remember that there is nothing in the law that said Trump couldn't be prosecuted after being elected. It's simply "DOJ policy." The idea that the USA is a nation of laws is absolute b*llshit.

Wow.

With Meta's decision to label LGBTQ people as mentally ill, here's our video on mental illness in which we point out that "mentally ill" is a robust, default dehumanisation practice. "The new sin" as I put it. youtu.be/BXTDDY7osDQ

Four years since my son wrote the best opening to a mystery novel ever written.

There are over 100 original ink and watercolor paintings in my shop. Many of them cost less than $100. I painted each one with my own hands. That's what I got. #sciart artologica.etsy.com

The morning kitten report has purrs.

“In order to shoot off one email per week for a year, ChatGPT would use up 27 liters of water, or about one-and-a-half jugs… that means if one in 10 U.S. residents—16 million people—asked ChatGPT to write an email a week, it’d cost more than 435 million liters of water.”
