Holy crap. @jamieloftus.bsky.social's Ack Cast is fucking fantastic. It is well researched, engaging, and full of empathy. Seriously. Go listen now and then reflect on how you can be racialized to step off the self hatred train.

@lpontheleft.bsky.social "If you're still listening, you are damaged". We know Ed. You don't need to remind us.

I feel this so hard since running out of my brain meds. Breathe next to me. I dare you.

My birthday will be upon us soon and I have asked that my only present be not having to make any decisions about how we celebrate it. This feels like a step in the direction of joining the sisterhood of middle age women.

If you can go see Castle Rat, do it.

Claw back your attention span and read a damn book. Don't know what to read? Go ask a librarian.

So happy with how Lady Kluck turned out. What a great event. #tir-y-don #SCA

One room to go only restaurants that look like this are a siren call to us.

That feeling when you grab the correct size socket on the first try.

Y'all, Texas is afraid of a tiddy. Terrified of a boob. Frightened by a breast. Next thing you know they are going to be banning any fried chicken that isn't a wing

Dear designers, the pay gap is bad enough. Can I at least get the last 1/4 of a sleeve you give to men? #fashion

If you did the whole 23andme thing it's time to delete your data and have them destroy your sample. Get it done before who knows who buys your genetic information.

Still waiting for the people who were screaming about her emails to make a peep about their slack group chat.

@iwriteok.bsky.social lol, probably zero chance that you will see this but my librarian brain had to chase down the factor 8 documentary. There are three libraries in the US that have it available for inter-library loan, one in California, if your local public library does that. (Most do)

Some people have the game. I have the Roman empire and that shit haunts me daily.

Neighbor caught who has been hooting outside our window.

Didn't just say you stand with Ukraine. Send them money. Unless you are living in deepest poverty, you can afford to send something. Take the money you would give to one of the mega corporations and donate it. Be slightly uncomfortable. Miss a luxury. Thoughts and prayers do jack shit.

After nearly 20 years of tracking my reading on Goodreads I deleted my account to switch to StoryGraph, a black owned platform. Stuck it Amazon.

"The corporate revolution will collapse if we refuse to buy what they're selling: their ideas, their notion of inevitability. We may be many & they be few but they need us more than we need them. Another world is not only possible, she's on her way. I can hear her breathing.” - Arundhati Roy

God I love working at a college. Today my 18 year old student worker looked at me and asked "have you ever heard of #ska?" Oh buddy, I was in high school in the 90s. I now have him listening to the Aquabats. You are welcome kiddo.

Cancelled our Amazon prime subscription to help us focus on shopping small and local instead of making billionaires richer. We agreed that the world will not end if packages take time to get to us. Embrace being slightly inconvenienced when you can to make the world you want to see.

I'm so proud of how this turned out. $15 entrainment center from the Habitat Restore, about $100 in materials, and I have custom storage for my craft supplies that I love. #upcycling #crafting

1. The medicine 2. The disease it needs to cure If we can't control our own fears, we won't think rationally or critically in this crisis. The weakest men in the country can - sadly - control us through our fear, our apathy, our voluntary submission, and our anxiety response.

Thank you @edzitron.com for making me feel empowered to fight back against the enshitification of the internet with Better Offline. I may be ranting like an aluminum foil lunatic at work, but there are people who listen.
