My rule is to always always always proffer sincerely felt compliments to anyone because *gestures at the rest of the world*.

Through no fault of her own, Karen Attiah has been through far too much of late. Her cat Artemis is in the hospital. If you can, donate to the GFM💛

If you’re in mental health care and your patient with PTSD is on meds, don’t you think one of your highest priorities is making sure that medication is prescribed and filled? Apparently not.

A very big Onion announcement: The Onion has spent the last two months working on a masterpiece. It's a documentary titled Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile. It's so good, in fact, we were set to release it in theatres nationwide on October 2nd. Then two weeks ago, Charlie Kirk was shot.

I know this is a waste of time, but of anyone in the Bay Area can take on a cat, this ~5 month boy I trapped for TNR turned out to be way friendlier than I thought and also has a limp that does not pain him but can't be easily fixed.

Dear My Phone, My Computer, My Apps, My Electronic Devices, and so forth: Please stop asking me if I want to enable AI. Or use your janky AI tool. Or load my documents or pictures with a bunch of useless, off-putting, earth-killing AI junk. I don't want it. I SAID I don't want it. Stop offering.

I’ve read and followed John on and off for at least a decade and let me say this: Always an excellent writer, John has never written anything more succinctly honest and important in his career. Well done, sir.

still studying 21st century maritime disasters and half these mayday calls are like " the holds are 16 feet underwater, all 3 masts have fallen off, The Red October is torpedoing us, Poseidon has us impaled on his trident and the Kraken is eating the bow, nothing to worry about yet."

L'shanah tovah! We made apple donuts 😋

Different kicker style but seems like you’d be amused, @chriswarcraft.bsky.social.

Between supply chain and agricultural advancements, the only reason people starve is because greedy, power-hungry people will it so. Period.

Yes, I’m a South Carolina alumna and we too fell from grace but we are used to hopes being dashed. Year after year Clemson is given way more credit than they deserve. I hope humility sits well on them. Because their one win was against Troy and they were losing that one into the third quarter.

I am looking for a comforter for the guest bedroom and I'm sorry what monster did this

The ICE recruitment TV ad is beyond vile.

I know sportsball isn’t a popular topic here but I cannot believe I am watching a Clemson team going 1-3 to start the season. I’m a Gamecock alumna. It’s old hat to me.

If you’re at the Brooklyn Book Festival go say hi to Alex.

Do I know anyone in western or central NC who can foster (or adopt, hell) a pregnant mama cat? We have a sort of emergency situation where she’s been pulled inside to try and get her spayed to stop her having any more litters in this area (this may be her third) and the household can’t keep her.

Giving a bully your lunch money is only a temporary downpayment for future bullying. We ALL need to step up for the first amendment. By-the-way, for the record, this ex-Disney employee finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny. mh

Listen to your heart; that’s where you’ll hear God’s voice. Any religion trying to drown out that discourse is toxic and likely driven by people seeking power and/or riches. In other words, please don’t lose faith in God because you’ve lost faith in people you consider godly. They’re not the same.

As a symbol of solidarity, Norwegians wore paper clips on their lapels and wore them as jewelry in opposition to Nazi occupation. It was a quiet act of defiance symbolizing unity against Nazi rule. We can do that here to reject MAGA tyranny. #PaperClipProtest (via @joycewhitevance.bsky.social)

Post a female character whom you love.

release the epstein files

This commentary offers a clear, powerful statement of why freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended, whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents.

Shiver me timbers I fergot!

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

Karen is one of my core follows on Bluesky. This here? This explains why. You go, warrior.

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments. that fox news host still has his job.

The final scene from The Natural seems like the appropriate way to say goodbye to the icon that is Robert Redford.

If you, like me, have mental health issues and are foundering at present, don’t take your anger or despair inward. Lots and lots of people out there need to hear they’re horrible. You don’t.

Oh FFS Jamie.

University of South Carolina students, on the other hand, put up billboards telling Trump to GTFO of Columbia when he went to the Palmetto Bowl a few years ago.

if u see this quote with the energy u bring to blue sky

Can’t keep a good person down. Support this warrior.

Honored and privileged to be speaking at the huge Wembley concert for Palestine in London on Wednesday evening, alongside my friends Riz Ahmed and Ramy Youssef, 'Avengers' Benedict Cumberbatch and Florence Pugh, Guy Pearce, Eric Cantona, Francesca Albanese & many more big names. Livestream details:

Something people aren't talking about enough is how often Charlie Kirk invoked the Fifth Amendment when testifying before Congress about the domestic terrorists he provided buses to get to Washington on January 6, 2021.

Oh and fire that Kill the Homeless dude on FOXNews too.

Spoiler alert: Charlie Kirk WAS a Nazi bitch. Doesn’t mean we wanted him murdered but we don’t mourn Nazi bitches, either.

One, speaking truth about a guy who wanted to kill (stone) people he considered inferior and who considered gun violence deaths the inevitable price of gun rights is smack dab in our First Amendment rights and Karen should sue. Two, they think firing her will silence Karen? Hahahahahahaha.

back on my “words mean things” bullshit to say “empathy,“ “sympathy,” and “compassion“ are NOT synonyms

And I just saw it again. STOP IT LET US AT LEAST ENJOY HALLOWEEN

Disney just showed the first Christmas commercial (at least the one I’ve seen). We aren’t even two weeks out from Labor Day. You wanna put the Christ back in Christmas, evangelicals? Take the commercialism out of it. Primal scream incoming.

Blueskyificization of Social Media Considered Harmful (23 min read)

Gorgeous today. Out with the dog, wishing her link allowed us a longer walk, when something random reminded me of my late husband. Affable mood shattered in a blink by genuine wailing in anguish for what I lost. Palestinians live that anguish daily. FFS be kinder to each other. Please.

I think about this all the time

Hey @ggwynterwrites.bsky.social, our questions are answered. Heaven bless Anonymous.

I became an ordained interfaith minister to ensure all consenting adults have access to compassionate faith-based events like weddings and baptisms and funerals.

Now THIS is a timeline cleanse.
