Can’t express how much I hate living here with these conservative freaks.

I know I don’t have many followers on here but the level of engagement just hardly seems worth it most days

have you read Hound Triptych? Please leave a review on Goodreads or StoryGraph! Direct links can be found in my bio

i wouldn’t have discovered @danijanae.bsky.social’s poetry collection, Hound Triptych, without bluesky and the adopteesky feed. you should also check it out, it is absolutely brilliant and you will be thinking about it for a long time!

"I knew I had found the band I wanted to exist all through being a baby dyke in high school,” @danijanae.bsky.social writes about MUNA.

Lmao

I bought what I thought was jalapeño hummus, turns out it’s honey jalapeño with an emphasis on honey and it fucking sucks

Someone who hates me put me on the MyPillow guys newsletter list and I get multiple emails a day ranging from “Get 2 pillows for $29.98!” To “There is a war brewing, are you ready?”

I wrote a plea. Black women are being killed by Black men at alarming, epidemic rates. We have to stop this. Us. Black men. We have to. andscape.com/features/bla...

Adopted children are promised ‘forever homes.’ An Associated Press investigation finds that many are quietly institutionalized in for-profit facilities instead.

Passenger next to me on the flight was watching Anchorman and silently laughing all the way through. Thought I’d give em a thrill and divulge that I was the Cat Fashion Show MC, but realized I hadn’t clocked if they’d laughed at my line so I kept my eyes on my flight map

Happy pub day, baby!

My niece is at the age where she’s obsessed with the fact that I’m gay. she’ll just randomly mention it when we talk on FaceTime. Happy to report that today she’s decided she is also gay, but only sometimes

Who woulda thunk the thing missing from my experience of this app was just following more Black people

GOAL HAS BEEN MET! WE DID IT! Thank you so so much ❤️

WE ARE $70 AWAY FROM MY GOAL

Here's the thing: fuck the fucking fuckers. We stay alive so we can dance on their fucking graves.

My book is out next week 🥰

Clavicular was just condemned to death in Arizona

I was theorizing about this over on threads but to summarize I think there is a direct link toward the demand for readily adoptable children and the immigration crisis. We are seeing parents deported and families torn apart so other families can be created, imo.

I was theorizing about this exact possibility a few weeks ago

LMAO WHICH ONE OF YOU BASTARDS UNFOLLOWED ME

Bluesky should not get into this idea that blocking you is a problem. You can be blocked for any reason. You can be blocked because your pfp is annoying. You can be blocked because your vibe sucks. If you take this personally I think that’s also a reason you can be blocked.

I need a wealthy benefactor to donate the last $400

Still applying for jobs all the time but not having any luck. Didn’t want to ask for help this way again, but i really do need it to stay housed and out of the cold at the moment. Anything helps. Thank you♥️

Trying to raise the final $600 in the next couple days!

Who up wutherin they heights

The amount of men I’ve had to block for sexualizing my book cover is insane

Hey Pittsburgh! Come out to my book launch in 2 weeks? 🥰 www.eventbrite.com/e/reading-co...

One thing I experienced as a Black adoptee that I didn’t realize was racially motivated until I was an adult was when my family would go out, white couples, usually older, would approach my mom and say “wow, they are so WELL BEHAVED! What’s your secret?“

There’s likely a racial bend to these cases but i didn’t see any data on that in this article

hey guys you want to know what is often used as justification for taking someone’s kids and putting them into the foster care/adoption system? things like this are why we push back so hard against the “adoptees all have abusive drug addict parents” myth. 🥚

We are not doing enough to protect children

Black adoptees often deal with harmful narratives about our desirability as children. Because we aren’t blonde haired, blue eyed white babies, people often think “who would want a baby like that?”

Looks like folks are getting my book already! So excited!!
