Holy cake cones...what fresh hell is this?!

Using someone’s correct pronouns is basic respect — period. People’s identities should not only be recognized but CELEBRATED. Wear your pronouns with pride: hrc.im/pronouns

Mr. Kadrey! ( @richardkadrey.bsky.social) You've turned dear, sweet Tilda into a bit of a badass (and I might have a crush💕).

PFLAG Dayton will always #LeadWithLove ...but, we also #ReadWithLove. We especially love our #BannedBooks ! 📚💕

This year's short list features novelists Rabih Alameddine and Megha Majumdar as well as five first-time nominees for nonfiction, including journalists Omar El Akkad and Julia Ioffe.

Being out and proud is an act of resistance. Our voices are our power — and we will NOT be silenced. Tell your story for #NationalComingOutDay this week: hrc.im/NCODSocial

I played Beat Saber ( @beatsaberofficial.bsky.social ) the other night... I hope JayFiveOh is okay. 🟦⚔️🟪

I’m a sewage system. I also have a great personality.

My granddaughter sitting like this...hurts me (and makes me a little jealous, but mostly just owie).

Dear Dollar General...what in the holy nosebleed is this?!?!

National Coming Out Day is celebrated on Oct. 11 to recognize the courage of LGBTQ+ individuals who come out publicly. This year, NPR is inviting people to share their coming out stories.

Absolutely looking forward to spending time with Ford, Neuland and Tilda...The Discreet Eliminator series will be chock full of shenanigans.

My guy crossed the Rainbow 🌈 Bridge today. Be well my dude, be well.

Insomnia kicking my ass recently...which partners well with my sleep paralysis demon, which is one part Pale Man (thanks Del Toro), one part Kaiju and the vocal stylings of a creaky door. FML

#Tattoo query- Is it considered 1 tattoo if created in 1 session? Or is it the total # of ind.pieces? When asked how many tattoos I have, I ponder this. i have *several that are smaller, individual tattoos (part of a theme) that were done in one session-is that one or five tattoos? Thoughts?

I've been (frustratingly) attempting to try watercolor painting. The lack of control is infuriating. Fortunately, @andrea-nelson-art.bsky.social videos have been helpful in getting me started.

Just doing fishy things....

Found this 'lil guy in my yard. Apparently hims a little moth of some sort called Snowberry Clearwing (Hemaris diffinis, thanks Google).

I don’t know what you see!? But. This looks to me like a very kind rock said “Sweet tree, you look like you could use a place to sit and rest, please come sit with me.” And the tree sat down and they have been great friends ever since😊🌳🪨💜💜 #RockinTuesday #EastCoastKin

Good morning

Remember when Covid had our Mental Health suffering from *lack of stimulation (bc lockdown)?? I have the same but it's *over stimulation... Politics, Epstein, Measles, Tsunamis, Earthquakes, Ukraine, Israel, TransRights, ICE, climate change, kids dying in hot cars... I'm just...*sigh* tired.

You, sir, are most definitely not alone. We've all been working extra hard to navigate the chaos to maintain a semblance of our kindness and humanity, when all we want to do is scream, stomp and rip someone's hair out. (Not just about politics) Our mental health is definitely suffering.
