People like me who hyper-fixate have been known to spiral on sites on Bluesky and I'm ready to break the cycle.

15 US states and territories have formed a new Public Health Alliance, which will counter the absence of federal leadership by tracking outbreaks, issuing guidance, buying vaccines and more. Members of the new alliance include CA, CO, CT, DE, GU, HI, IL, MD, MA, NJ, NY, NC, OR, RI, WA.

What I look like this morning. #Selfie Just wanted to post proof of life. Still here. Stressed AF, but still here.

I don’t know what they’re saying (YouTube CC’s look Cyrillic, so no chance for me), but this fucking SLAPS as the young folks might say. if y’all like #TheHu, you might like this too. #NineTreasures #UntilNow #MongolianMetal (I *think* it’s Mongolian, correct me if I’m wrong!)

Against my better judgment I started watching ongoing #dramas: #FatedHearts 🇨🇳 #MissIncognito 🇰🇷 Fated Hearts is fun, but the levels of betrayals & intrigue is giving me emotional fatigue at this point. Miss Incognito is just getting started & I think they had a terrible plan for where to hide her.

The Frog Costume has gone from $25 to almost $40 on amazon over the last week. There's an army brewing.

Found these images on #TikTok & I love them. I have no idea where this is from (probably AI art), but I’m immediately a huge fan of this whole vibe. I love the intersection of masculinity & soft, sexy, delicate, floral femininity. Yes, please! This #NonBinary #AsAm approves.

Haven’t been on here much, because I started and finished #Cdrama #ShadowlLove, and I liked it. It was shirtless o’clock time a LOT in this show, thank you VERY much~~~

Actually it’s so funny that they ended the show like that and were literally like “how did it happen? Doesn’t matter” I laughed aloud. They were really like, this isn’t an EXPLANATIONS type show, deal with it! 💖 #HEA! ✨ #Kdrama #BonAppetitYourMajesty

The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy. www.chosun.com/english/nati...

Chicago area: if you believe you may recognize this federal agent who choked a protester last week, please text us 📱

I’m watching #TheLongBallad & I gotta say, they saved so much money by not having people spit fake blood MOST OF THE TIME! They also saved filming costs by cutting key high budget action to Reading Rainbow level still animations SOMETIMES with a live action actor just c&p on top of the illustration

Do NOT believe the misinfo going around There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates Most notably: 1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon 2) No "dangerous" kink 3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational" So what can we DO about it? #SaveSpeech 1/🧵

This is a great piece, shows not only how games are an intrinsic part of our cultures but also how you can use them to tell wider stories. Excellent stuff

Pre-orders for this debut poetry collection are now available. With the ongoing targeting of gender diverse people on Turtle Island, the author hopes this book can be a ripple in the discourse, a warm hug, & a mountain that provides some welcome shade & relief! ✨️ hostpublications.com/collections/...

Had a mental health day, I treated myself to brunch at R. Cafe & took a walk around Lake C. The trail around the lake is 1 mile: even ground, well maintained. Not the most exciting trail, but I would rate it appropriate for elderly hikers & young children who can walk.

At the Broadview ICE "processing facility" outside Chicago. Earlier today, federal agents unleashed chemical weapons on protesters, elected officials, a local congressional candidate, and a local mayor. Defiant anti deportation activists remain. Another protest is planned for 7pm.

The neurodivergent part of my brain is complaining that this man should not hold her hand because he needs to keep both hands free to protect his principal/client. And that he’s too goddamn handsy with her, too familiar. BUT the part of my brain that likes romance novels is squealing and kicking.

Friends, are any of you #RIIZE fans? Tell me about them because I have a ticket to see them on Oct. 30th, and I know barely anything! This will also be my first K-pop concert EVER! (Besides Agust D and Seventeen at the movie theater!) If the ticket has already been purchased, can I get any—

Just started #Kdrama #Tempest on #Hulu today, and I love seeing mature actors my age being amazing on screen. This one is a political, action, spy thriller/mystery.

Finished watching #Cdrama #ThePrincessRoyal, what a ride! Lots of plot twists, in this time slip/2nd chance @ life of a princess who’d been trapped in a loveless marriage of misunderstandings & resentment that led to husband & wife’s tragic demise, after which they both wake up 20 years in the past!

Bystanders chased off ICE agents today in one location in Chicagoland. It was a brutal day in Chicagoland with a widely cast net of quick snatch and grab operations. Rapid response teams and reporters are stretched thin. But this story broke through as a success story for the good guys!

I think, every so often, about how the student protesters in South Korea figured out there was a finite supply of tear gas, and then staged retreating marches that caused police to burn off most of it, before the big "bring your auntie and kids" marches that ultimately toppled the dictatorship.

Around 2:22 pm a woman driving a black SUV with long dark hair was stopped at the same light as me. She SHRIEKED full out, and did it again, and then again. She was holding a printed sheet with what looked like a work or school schedule, and the paper was trembling in her fingers. She folded the—

Reporters on the ground in Chicago are screaming to be heard over the false narrative that Pritzker defeated Trump there. PLEASE listen to them.

Pros and cons of a werewolf girlfriend: Pros: She protec She fluffy She go awoooooo She cute She lick Cons: People exist who actually believe there are cons to having a werewolf GF

This and this alone is the only valid genre discourse.

Gave myself a costume #Cdrama inspired haircut & a #TikTok creator asked me “@LeluTheWere: so are we going to war, hidden lord in disguise, cooking for his majesty, or are we hunting jade and trades? ngl i watch a few #ChineseDramas. lol” #SWORDS. I WOULD BE SWORD FIGHTING.

While driving earlier tonight We saw the harvest moon Hanging low and full Like an overripe peach Shrouded in cloudy mist Nearly brushing the treetops. A blood moon. But only an hour later it would be a silver dollar moon, hanging cold and high in the sky.

Here’s what it looks like in motion, in 3D (name the song reference)

I cut my own hair (cultivating the grays), washed & blow dried it & now I have BANGS. I might have done this wrong. Bonus pic of me looking downright demonic as I look through my newly cut bangs in the black & white filter. My shirt says “Keep the immigrants, deport the racists” #haircut #bangs #DIY

bestie, are you feeling okay? you keep stepping into the spotlight to narrate your dark & twisted internal monologue for the audience before rejoining the conversation as if nothing had happened

I lapsed in taking my blood pressure & recording it daily, probably because I don’t want to see it—LA LA LA you can’t make me—I already know I’m stressed & probably gonna issues related to chronic high BP but I don’t have the resources & help myself rest and recover. Here’s a lil bb rainbow I found:

hell yeah LET'S GOOOOOO

Please be careful. Apparently the CDC in Florida called a lady who has a child on the spectrum and asked her if she would allow her child to "Volunteer" for a camp, where she would send her child to for 8 hours a day, to "cure" him of his autism. Look, I've had enough. My oldest son is on the

Look I don’t know anything about the #Kdrama #TheMurkyStream, except one big damn thing, and it’s that this is the first time I’ve ever seen #Rowoon actually look like he belongs in a historical setting for REAL. First time in history.

Say a landlord wants to evict their tenant for either a reason not permitted by law (like discrimination), or faster than the typical court process for eviction proceedings (which is already pretty fast). A legal loophole is letting landlords use domestic violence courts instead, 1/17

I learned many years ago to be meticulous with accounting when it has to do with money (saving receipts etc...). This started because mentors warned me that people would always be quick to accuse Black people (esp Black women) of being thieves, grifters etc... I've kept up my documentation process.

Briefly breaking my social media hiatus to yell about @yumewrites.bsky.social 's #SALTCROP, which had me literally weeping and gasping for air: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Hahaha…nice.

The military aircraft fly-bys are so freaking loud.

How to record ICE: 1) Record from a safe distance. DO NOT INTERVENE. 2) Put the DATE, TIME, & LOCATION on the video. 3) Ask for NAMES & BIRTHDAYS 4) CONTEXT, how many people were taken? What happened? How? 5) If possible, document vehicles used and agents, even if masked. @eltragon.bsky.social
