What do you wish Bluesky had that is missing from this social media app? I know many just see it as a Twitter replacement but I'm thinking of those of us who want off the other meta products. Getting off threads was easy because this app has better in that regard. But I still use FB & IG... /1

While Trump is trolling Canada about annexing it, Canadians are in Los Angeles tonight dropping water on the Palisades fire. He’s a disgrace.

🎯💯🤣 @kashana.bsky.social

Anyone else following Gisèle Pelicot's story? I think everyone should know about it, but it's probably one of the most disturbing stories I've ever read in my life. If you look it up, be warned (SA).

My metro station. Angrignon in LaSalle ...

Trumps 3am thoughts, 'Hmmm, you know how Putin Annexed part of Ukraine?! What if we did that but bigger! Let's take over Canada!' No, we don't want this. CANADIANS DO NOT WANT THIS!!!!!!!! This was from today:

People will actually be like: "How dare this assassin not live up to my moral standards and expectations!"

...entertained thinking of how many people's identity is in "not wanting to be like anyone else!" To be the *really different one*. It's a whole big similar group, and I wonder what if they met each other to know how common their personality trait is! 🫠🙃 Would they feel validated or infuriated?!

I take this interchange every morning to get to work!

So nice being partnered w/ someone I really enjoy talking to & hearing the things on his mind. This is well-written, but he also made an audio version. If you click on the article, there's a link to have him read it to you. Also, he just has a very nice voice, & I ask him to read to me often. Enjoy!

😬 very on the nose... with like limited anesthetics depending on the length of that nose!

Technically 6 years but yes, absolutely living in a completely different world in so many ways!

Habitat 67, Montreal 🇨🇦

Last night & this morning in Montréal. If you would ask me the last thing I would expect to miss about moving, it's an obvious answer: the snow! If it's going to be cold anyway, it's gotta be white and sparkling. ✨️ ❄️ Normal early December where I live. Snow tires are mandatory by Dec.1

My kids owe me nothing *and* I would never want the type of relationship where they feel like they have to worship me. You might be a narcissistic parent if you expect total loyalty and adoration and can't hear about your faults as a parent or your kids would fear losing your support.

Last night, grabbing a drink with an old friend at Nyks Pub in downtown Montreal.

New Christmas tradition, I did, with both my sister and daughter this year. In honor of my late father, who loved this holiday so much, our tree goes up on his birthday, November 27th. Don't care if American Thanksgiving has happened yet or not. Do you have any new Christmas traditions?

Very foreshadowy, @nakao.bsky.social found an old phone case he had before we ever met.

As a Christian woman, I've never once felt unsafe around trans people. But I have felt unsafe around conservative Christian men countless times. If it's actually about "protecting women," we are drastically focusing on the wrong group of people.

"Take a selfie that lets your Canadian friends know where you are"...

Who else is going to see the movie version of Wicked this weekend? (I'm going on Monday!) This was my first Broadway musical I ever saw. So I'm nostalgic and can't wait!

Didn't expect my first snowfall this year to be in NY/NJ instead of Canada, but since Trump got elected and put Dr.Oz in his cabinet I know we are clearly in the bizzaro time-line.

Post you from a different era. This was when my sister & I could pull off being the Olsen twins!

Helpful reminder for those of us who are migrating here. I needed to know this.

@natenakao.com was the one that spotted it. I think I've Canadianized him, he's good at noticing this stuff. Our first movie in theater together was RBG's "On the Basis of Sex" and my Canadian friend picked out Montreal pretty fast!

"It isn't racism—it's economics." You don't have to actively hate people to be racist. The fact that you're willing to throw them under the bus for economic reasons is still racism. Same goes for all the other marginalized folks you screwed over for Mammon. It's still bigotry.

Curious if there are some on this app that were *never* big twitter users. Or am I alone in this?

With so many new people here let me introduce myself. Hi, I'm Gail. I'm 1-in-a-million 😆. As in, I'm 1 out of a million Canadian-Americans out there. 👋 Loving my ex-pats. The below stat is interesting, eh?!

Sad reality.

Time to revive this!

Thinking of making a starter pack for a million of us Canadian Americans. Too bad it's hard to figure out the real accounts cause I'd put Ryan Reynolds, Sandra Oh, Keanu Reeves. We also need Joseph Debenedictis on here. Tim Hortons and the NHL will be on the list! 😂 Any other suggestions?

Trump's already "joking" about seeking a third term. I don't think people understand what a joke is. Part of the danger is that people dismiss everything he says that way, “I suspect I won’t be running again, unless you do something, unless you say, ‘He’s so good, we have to just figure it out.’”

It takes an exile from Putin’s Russia, writing about the theories of an exile from Orban’s Hungary, to cut through the noise about Trump’s America, from which we have nowhere left to run. Gift link to M. Gessen in NYT: www.nytimes.com/2024/11/15/o...

Nobody, absolutely Nobody: White Evangelicals: Hear me out! What if instead of King David being a cautionary tale of bad leadership he was an example of why we should have an adulterous man with hate in his heart be our leader?!

As I try to shift off metaverse social media, I'm still entertained by their sponsored ads today, trying to target me! I only assumed citizenship last year. 😆

While this was painful to record, I loved collaborating with @rsokamoto.bsky.social, @gail-m.bsky.social, @hellodecons.bsky.social, and Jessica on this @dauntlessfm.bsky.social project. I hope you'll give it a listen at dauntless.fm/podcast/full... or on your favorite podcast app.

Anyone else on bluesky dealing with this?

Sometimes change looks like parting ways. ...like learning for the first time to love ourselves and be surrounded by those who can do that well! It looks like letting go of those who can't— those who have shown us they won't, & building community instead fullmutuality.substack.com/p/america-is...

For those that live far away from their family, kids, friends, maybe even country you grew up in, how often do you make it back? How do you cope? What has helped?

Show me your lock screens. Mine have a rotation & theme. My happiest day last fall.

Here to report from Canada that emotional support Canadians are out of stock for today. They are on back order. 😆 Sorry! 🇨🇦

The husband is doing his part to spread Canadian 🇨🇦 cheer to the Americans 🇺🇸 today! They need it. It's extra spooky this Halloween. 👻 🎃 (4 days to go!)

All week I'm married to this eye candy in his 30's still. 🔥🥵

Was listening to a stat that said if you knew you had a 50% chance of electric shock you would be more stressed than if you knew you had a 100% chance of electric shock. The uncertainty is more stressful than facing what you imagine as the bad outcome. Happy last week leading up to election day!

Nyt op ed page getting straight to the heart of the matter on that orange clown.
