My partner & I watched the 2016 Ghostbusters movie last night. It was clearly a product of its time, like how the news actually questioned when the government was obviously lying instead of just parroting their message

Don’t be afraid to share your writing. There are six Sharknado movies.

Here's A Helpful Guide for insulting political figures without being trash. 🧵 Instead of calling ICE agents the "burger brigade" (or whatever other gross body shaming terms), insult how they are ripping families apart, violently assaulting people and actively filling concentration camps. (1/4)

Western Culture has trained us to feel horrible anytime we're not doing something "productive" because we must always be creating value for the owner class.

Been struggling to write because what I'm writing isn't "important." But storytelling, by its nature, is important. Not just as escape, but as a way to feel seen. We love tales of fantastical journeys we'll never go on because we see glimpses of our own journey. So maybe writing is important.

I made a thing!

“I don’t owe people anything” yes actually you owe people community and empathy and kindness I hope this helps

Happy Pride, y'all 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ 🧵

Belated dressing up for World Goth Day 🖤 Started the day with low confidence but this really helped! Of course, had to make a stop at my favorite coffee shop.

An excellent case for the #ChewyDecimalSystem: I just circled the grocery store 3 times and then, even after the customer service people told me exactly where to find it, still had to walk the aisle several times before I found it. I know I'm finding-stuff-challenged but Chewy Decimal would help

Happy World Goth Day 🖤🥀 It's beautifully rainy here today, but alas, The Horrors are keeping me from celebrating fully. Maybe I'll dress up sometime this weekend.

such a grim morning to be a trans american, knowing the fascists have at last come for medicaid coverage for adults too. something super fucked, something they've long signaled they'd do, something that will probably have myriad, devastating consequences... www.erininthemorning.com/p/house-spen...

The kids are alright. The "adults"...not so much.

#AdoptaShelterPetDay Before you turn up your nose at pet store cats - many pet stores let shelters use space in their stores to house cats that are available for adoption! Please check to see if this is the case at your local pet store, many of those cats go a long time before being adopted.

Thoughts on what's going on in the UK: -If you believe you're a woman, you're a woman -The only people who need to know anything about your genitals are your doctor and people you intend to sleep with, the rest are just pervs -You can do it, you can find new fiction to love, I did and it's great!

Just finished this book, and a line at the end perfectly encapsulates what I've been trying to do lately: "Take it day by day and spend time with the people I love."

Friends, I know you're excited to try protesting, but under no circumstances should you ever sign up to attend one. I'm suspicious of any org asking people to put their name on a list that is easily accessible via warrant or may even be public. You can just show up day of.

. If you have to travel to more dangerous places like the US or Iran then it is probably safer to leave your normal phone at home and buy a cheap burner phone. Even if you are a US citizen there is still a danger if your phone has ANYTHING truthful about the regime. theintercept.com/2025/03/29/c...

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" is nothing new. Mental health terms have long been used to gaslight / dismiss valid concerns (especially of women), from hysteria diagnoses (which have evolved into today's term "hysterical") to the use of "crazy" in modern slang.

If you'd like, please share something positive from your life in the comments ❤️ It's been a rough few weeks for additional unrelated reasons on top of my country being dismantled so I could really use some positivity.

Does anyone on #medsky or elsewhere know if there is a map tracking reported cases of any/all of the big ones going around (covid, strep, influenza, bird flu)?

Just had a lovely bookstore date at @theenchantedviolet.bsky.social! Adorable queer bookstore 🏳️‍🌈

This approach literally saved my life. I made a promise to myself that as long as the sky is beautiful, I have to stick around. There have been a lot of gorgeous clouds and lovely sunsets on days when I really needed them.

This is something I've learned from depression & chronic pain. There is no magic fix, they'll never go away but there are ways to make it easier. Cherish the good days, be gentle to yourself in the bad. Keep building your support network, gathering resources & fighting to improve what you can.

If you're participating in the economic blackout, take some time today to look into any automatic recurring payments you have set up. Delay them to Saturday if you can, or pay today if needed.

A bit of escapism with my latest library book

Every day I see something new coming out of people's mouths that sounds like what a clumsily written villain would say to hammer home that they're a Really Bad Guy so you don't feel bad when the heroes beat the snot out of them. They've gotten way too bold

For those who might be unaware or just getting a library card: libraries are for more than just books! Many have a Library of Things with a variety of tools & equipment you can check out. Bike pumps, sewing machines, yard games, even power drills, for hobbies & home needs. #booksky

This should be a reminder NOT to turn your neighbors and co-workers in. For ANYTHING. Immigration status, DEI status, abortion care, religious beliefs, weeds, rusted out cars. DO NOT COMPLY.

#booksky If you're looking for a cozy murder mystery, I highly recommend Arsenic and Adobo by Mia P. Manansala. Intriguing mystery, fun characters, some cozy cheesiness, mouthwatering food descriptions & a dash of representation 🏳️‍🌈 Audiobook has a good narrator & is great to learn pronunciations

Don't worry #booksky, my 5-year-old niece will singlehandedly save libraries. My sister had to limit her to 20 books out at a time 😂 (Jokes aside, my whole family has library cards, & I regularly use Libby for audiobooks because they do count. Library cards are easy to get and unlock so much!)

Work has been quiet (gearing up for some big things) so I've been getting back into matrix logic puzzles!

I've been such a lurker on social media for so long that having a voice is hard. But I think it's an important step in having a voice when it matters most. So, cheers to a fresh start 🥂
