A while back I asked folks why they’re joining Bluesky and the most common response I saw was, “I just want a good place to get my news” and, yall, no. Bad. GET YOUR NEWS FROM THE NEWS PBS Newshour is FREE FOR EVERYONE. youtu.be/PMOYN8JWdUk?...

You had different dreams for yourself than having to meet this shit historical moment. I did too. I did too.

it's time to kill the music it's time to cut the lights it's time to fight the Muppets in the parking lot tonight

SUCK IT DORK

There's no better demonstration of the astonishing breadth of human experience than coming across someone actually, sincerely typing out a post that includes the statement that there is in fact no humor whatsoever to be found in the Murderbot books.

Hard not to be paranoid when you remember all the times your paranoia was justified.

“You will be visited by three spirits.” The spirits:

Absolutely loving this. Sad I put it off for so long, but also sad this is my last unread India Holton book. 🥲

No other games exist. There is only Infinity Nikki now.

SIMPLY HAVING A

Currently marked safe from hearing that sad ass “mommy needs shoes to meet Jesus” song this holiday season.

I have, for the first time ever, completely unpacked all my luggage within an hour of coming home from a trip. Who is this version of me? I have to go do something irresponsible now to balance it out.

At the end of the day, don’t we all just want a bookshelf with a rolling ladder?

Saying that elden ring should have an easy mode in a room full of men just to feel something

Yes, libraries are invaluable for their collections and public services they offer, but also social contact without the expectation to interact with anyone or spend any money is so important to so many people

Murderflirting

it's awkward for them it's awkward for me it's awkward for the reader

The servers have crashed three times at work today already. Pls just someone tell me I can go home so I can immediately change into jammies and snuggle up in bed. It's a rainy fall day, and it's inhumane to keep me here in the office today. 😩

Imma need some of you to think about thriving out of spite. I had big plans for 2025 and I’m definitely not gonna pre-derail them for likes of Elin and Tromp. I’m getting more involved. Loving harder. Writing hornier. Having more fun. I’m gonna be so kind to my neighbors, bitch.

Is it just me or does everyone immediately dislike any cyber truck on the road and its driver

What an achievement vaccines are. What a monument to our love for each other it is to stare straight into the face of something as horrific and unstoppable as smallpox or measles or polio or cervical cancer and say “You know what, it doesn’t have to be like this.” HUMANS!

Hands up who does exactly this

hugely important. queer people have an absolute right to do their own safety calculus and being “out and proud” is a privilege not everyone has. please don’t ask queer/trans folks to try and change hearts and minds by outing themselves to the Trumpers around them. let’s just keep them alive and safe

keep going today guys

Keep making art. Keep writing your stories. Even if they must exist in secret for a time, they are important - each of them a little act of rebellion. Most of all, keep on living. If you can muster no other motivation on some days, then do it out of righteous spite for those who want you gone.

Get up. Keep going. Protect each other.

Well, at least my Dragon Age character is cute, I guess.

Check in on your communities today and especially the high performing, overly prepared women of color in your life. Because last night, we had our fear realized: you can play their games, be 3x better, and still they will choose an incompetent white man over you. Every time.
