Sometimes I think about how much fun it was before Caleb Maupin was outed as an alleged cult leader and sex pest and @theserfstv.bsky.social could just do streams making fun of him. Then I remember that I’m like 95% sure Caleb’s dad was a missionary and that’s why he took Caleb with him on his

How’s everyone holding up? I just found the jug of milk I apparently left in the cupboard yesterday, so that’s how my week is going.

If Stephen Miller switches parties to become a Democrat, wins the dem primary, and is the candidate vs. Trump in the next election, I will not vote for Stephen Miller. He is awful, his policies are awful, and it doesn't matter if he'd be "better" than Trump. This is a post about Gavin Newsom.

Post a banger, not in English I don’t listen to new music so Estuans interius (Burning inside) from Carl Off’s Carmina Burana it is.

Someone with more reach than me tell the @somemorenews.bsky.social team that the Pendragon Cycle isn’t just an attempt to capitalize on the popularity of GOT; it’s actually an adaptation of a series by Stephen Lawhead that merges the myths of Arthur and Atlantis, but makes them Christian. +

The pronoun labeler, which was by far the most useful labeler on the site, was deleted by its creator. But thanks to @ripperoni.com there’s a new one available. I highly recommend it. It’s a great way to share your pronouns or see someone else’s pronouns at a glance. bsky.app/profile/pron...

Age verification? We used to have to whack the side of the TV to make the picture come through.

I could tell the game ended became one of my neighbors us setting off fireworks. Congrats Seahawks💙💚

This is the most I’ve ever paid attention to a football game before. And by that I mean I’ve checked the score four times and read @miawong.bsky.social’s posts about the game. I may not be a sportsbsll fan but #GoHawks

Actual line from an actual book I’m reading: “He’s obviously knocked down all the walls to make the space wide and spacious.” #WritingTip: are you kidding me with this?

My skirt is more or less Seahawks colors and that’s about as good as it gets with me #GoHawks

#WritingTip: one of my pet peeves is when a first-person narrator describes how their own face looks during an interaction. “My eyes lit up,” “my face turned red,” that kind of thing. They can’t see themselves so why are the describing how they look? It makes more sense for them to describe their +

For no apparent reason, other than to do so, I've been trying to figure out the name of a video game I played as a child. Didn't play it much, think it was Sega, could've been NES, had vaguely Persian theme, I remember the ground blocks were green, blue sky character might've been red. Mario-esque

Keep it simple and abolish DHS

Tim Miller from @thebulwark.com: hey Sarah that do you think about this new any-gay marriage ad? Sarah Longwell: “OUR GOVERNMENT IS BEING RUN BY PEDOPHILES.” I feel like more interview questions should be answered this way. Like all of them maybe.

just monumentally angry that these files were like. SEEN by people in the government who DIDNT ACT ON THEM FOR YEARS!!!! Man scrap the whole damn nation the rot goes deeper than Hill House

@marawilson.bsky.social maiasaurs are also my favorite dinosaurs but mainly because that’s what Ducky in Land Before Time is.

Rest in peace 😥

I’m sorry, was she under the impression she hasn’t been canceled yet? And that of all the things she’s said and done over the last decade, this will somehow be the final straw? Girl.

I shared #AmandaMaryanna’s video on “Republicans makeup” months ago because her analysis of this weird phenomenon is well researched and argued without descending into misogyny like a lot of other critiques. She recently released another one on how this aesthetic ties into fascism. Watch it.

I'm fucking HEATED. If we're going to survive and get out of this disaster, we white people need to uplift AND protect Black and brown leaders, with our bodies and lives. I don't want to mourn another Black leader. I want them to lead. We need them here, not as martyrs in a goddamn history book.

Lance from @theserfstv.bsky.social referring to Nick Fuentes and the Tate brothers as “DEI Nazis” because they’re biracial probably shouldn’t be as funny as it is.

It is New Yorkers’ patriotic duty to stay home and read a queer hockey romance.

a skilled ER nurse with a deep sense of civic responsibility is exactly the kind of person you want carrying a firearm. every ICE employee should be barred from touching anything deadlier than a butter knife for the rest of their natural lives.

You might want to turn off autoplay of videos and GIFs for a while.

People who go out of their way to watch executions or murders almost always reported being changed for the negative, suffering PTSD, etc... You do not have to deliberately self-harm yourself for no benefit to stand up for others.

I’m not really a furry but this maybe explains my taste in certain types of romance novels?

if you cant instruct your local police to surround schools to protect them from ice because youre scared the cops will turn around and instead help kidnap children then you should state that plainly and clearly

#WritingTip: this might be controversial but don’t trademark your name. That’s just weird.

Imagine if they’d done this with Quibi.

lol Tucker Carlson believes in chemtrails

And one more thing. Students. If you have a professor who is, for some reason, outsourcing their own job to ChatGPT....drop the class. If they tell you to "ask ChatGPT" for sources, drop the class. Because they apparently don't know their own discipline well enough to teach it.

Oops

See how easy this is, @libbyapp.com?

@taliesin82.bsky.social: 🎶merrily merrily merrily merrily, life is but a dream.🎶 Muah-ha-ha-ha! Me: will never hear that song the same way again

Remember, Scott Adams won't see your posts focusing on his late-career bigotry, but J.K. Rowling might.

none of us are immune to propaganda or misinformation. i recently unwittingly reposted a story that turned out to be unverifiable & i have seen more fake stories circulating. yet ppl in the comments were stuck on "it feels emotionally true". that is a really dangerous place to be. that's not okay.

*insert barely thought out hot take about current discourse that I personally consider nuanced and valid til someone pokes a hole in it and it triggers insecurity so I get defensive instead of teachable and the discourse continues on and on and on ad absurdum*

I keep thinking of how much time and effort the Bush administration put into getting public opinion in favor of invading Iraq before going in and how apparently none of it was necessary. Turns out you can just commit acts of war against a sovereign nation without congressional or voter approval +

What the hell, America.

Okay I made a Storygraph @awkwardlefty_cj. It's currently in the process of importing my Goodreads data so right now it's empty but hopefully it won't be for long.

PSA: if you are having a conversation with one or more people in a public space, don’t stand in or directly in front of a doorway. Thanks!

Watching A Muppet Christmas Carol as I do every year! I love everything about this film.

Y’all this was the best thing ever. Community theater in Minecraft! Next time they do a show I’ll be posting about it in advance so y’all can watch! If you don’t have Minecraft it was also streamed on Twitch.

I have done a youtube video about trouble teen camps, and I think these should not only be outlawed, but its "therapists" and owners should be thrown in prison... Is this gay conversion something like this? youtu.be/FgUDSAfUcP8?...

One of the Pod Save America guys described Candace Owens’ podcast as a true crime podcast mixed with a dramatic reading of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and I don’t think any description has been more apt.

This is why no one intelligent should back newsom. His actions are being used as a cudgel to ban trans care

For anyone who’s confused about this, MTG hasn’t changed her political views. If anything, her political disagreement with Trump hinges on him not being evil *enough* for her. She isn’t doing any soul-searching; she’s just savvy enough to be the first rat to flee the sinking ship that is Trump.
