a post that should be incoherent but is not because we're all trapped on the same emotional roller coaster together

Every technology problem is three social problems in a trench coat

Trump is as insecure about nothing as much as he is insecure about crowd sizes.

I've never had emotions like this about the fate of a TV show.

I think I was 13 when the first photograph of a live giant squid was published. I remember watching those old Discovery channel shows where they'd talk about searching for things like this and then not find them. And then... we did. And now... this??? There's so much cool shit out there.

I do not like it when my personal troubles and my national troubles line up at the same time.

Every time these folks talk about "expanding the tent," they're actually talking about MOVING the tent. Just picking it up & moving it to the right & leaving a lot of HUMAN BEINGS behind w/o protection. All to pursue these mythical centrist voters who, what, don't mind fascism but HATE abortion?

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

yes!

Badly need news outlets to realize the Democratic Party having super low approval does not mean it's too far left

Everything---*everything*---is politics. If you're "not talking about politics" what you're actually doing is talking about something that isn't politically controversial among the people who are in the room with you. Change who's in the room, and suddenly it can become politics again.

Can't depend on anyone these days smh

I am home. I am tired. I love all of you. #WotCon

@mostlybree.kitrocha.com I feel like you use this meme a lot

Temperature discourse. All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again.

You know, I come from a place of very significant privilege. I'm White, I grew up and still am middle class, I grew up and still present as a man, I grew up and still (mostly) present as straight. (1)

If you're a giant megacorporation and you have a division somewhere that makes art or entertainment and that division doesn't break even in your profits do you think it's possible that isn't the end of the world? Don't you want people to like you? Like as a company? Isn't that good for business?

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

once again I must tap my own sign

Joy has been my favorite non-reader reactor since I found her videos. She's truly a part of this community and her reaction here speaks for all of us, I think. (Also, she's going to react to the books, which should be amazing) #TheWheelOfTime #SaveWoT youtu.be/jfe_ceIOsnE?...

This is what Ribbit Jordan thinks of Amazon Prime Studios right now. Do you really want to disappoint Ribbit Jordan? I thought not. #SaveWOT

Help me, @chrisparnell.bsky.social. You're my only hope... #SaveWOT

Remember that time when I said that Amazon Video was weirdly one of the only capitalism places selling me something I actually wanted hmm...

So #WoTSkies let’s get prepared for a #SaveWoT campaign to Apple because it’s too soon to give up on a new home for #TheWheelOfTime

So, we need to get very loud about something: There are at least 16 people dead directly because of cuts to the National Weather Service and NOAA. A tornado went *unwarned* in a major community for over 30 minutes last night. No sirens, no alerts. Multiple people are dead. This is Trump's fault.

this thread is wild

This is pretty neat but what I actually want to talk about is the headline because no, Vox, the future to fighting airborne viruses is to give people fucking healthcare. whttps//www.vox.com...

[hasn't heard from a friend in a while] my brain: do they hate me what did I do

Every time a meme from @kangus.bsky.social goes viral Ribbit Jordan comes out of his home to judge us. #TheWheelOfTime #WotSkies

I did that thing where I finally checked the mail after like two months and sure enough there was a pile of new postcards from @meej.dragonsworn.net and every one of them was beautiful, somehow in my 30s I accidentally managed to have amazing friends

I was watching a video by a someone unrelated to WoT and he was talking about creator integrity and something he said really stood out to me: that because algorithms favor conflict, it's more profitable to lie and say you *do* like something than lie and say you don't. The haters are the shills

I do like the idea of "oh look the Dragon Reborn is a woman! She won't go mad!" [goes mad anyway] Don't need magic madness just regular mental illness

Andor is a stressful show

This show has felt very close to perfect for me in so many ways. Watching a queer person be overthrown and then executed the state was just... very difficult to watch for me, right now, in 2025. But one show cannot deliver a cure for a lifetime of mistreatment.

Good night, #JordanCon. This was the best day I've had in a very long time. #WotSkies

Just as a general rule exposure to "sexuality" is not anywhere close to as "damaging" to children as the lack of exposure to sexuality is.

#WotSkies #WoTShowSpoilers okay but no one's asking where Sammael's hammer went it seemed pretty good we should take it

oh man I am hyped

#TheWheelOfTime season 3 is tied with Game of Thrones season 4 (which was absolute peak GoT) for first place among the best fantasy show seasons on Rotten Tomatoes, with both having a 97% Fresh critics rating. Let that sink in!😃🥳🎉 #RenewWoT #WoTSkies

I've come around to liking it, a lot even, within the bounds of the story, within the bounds of the writing, but still hating how it made and makes me *feel* outside of the story, for where we are in 2025, for where we've been since the beginning of cinema. #WotSkies #WoTShowSpoilers

One of the best things about text communication is that my very first angry thought doesn't just glob out into the world unprepared. It's a fantastic strength and allows people to think about *how* they want to communicate as well as *what*. ... and yet...

#WotShowSpoilers The finale was absolutely perfect until it wasn't. Not going after anyone who liked it but I am struggling. I just want to talk about how perfect Nyneave was, etc, and I'm having trouble with that right now.

#WotBookSpoilers #WotShowSpoilers I know it's hard not to be apprehensive, and I hold space for that feeling. But I truly believe it just doesn't make sense for Siuan to die in the coup. Loial was different---that one makes *sense* from a storytelling perspective. Siuan does not.

#WotShowSpoilers #WoTSkies Episode 7 has a very strong central theme of people making their own choices---and choosing the right ones. Nothing just *happens* to anyone without them signing up for it (well, except Valda maybe but maybe lol), and that's huge for me.

#WotShowSpoilers #WoTSkies I remember having a difficult reaction to the season 2 finale when I first watched it, and being around people who loved it *really* helped me to the point where I like it a lot now. I loved tonight's episode and I'm on a mission to be that person that helps others.

#WotShowSpoiler #WoTSkies It can be hard to take, for sure. But if it had to happen, it couldn't have happened better. I loved this episode.

#WotSkies this is a pretty great take on the Wheel of Time show changes. From arstechnica.com/culture/2025... And, "nuance-deaf ding-dongs" is a great phrase that I will be using in real life

I never understood why people joked about this, it always sounded to me like *exactly* the kind of thing that would spark an intragalactic war
