The rapture offends me the because it’s based, in part, on the idea God wouldn’t let the church suffer through the Antichrist. Christianity isn’t a get-out-of-suffering-free card. It definitely isn’t leaving others to suffer. It’s the cross and resurrection. Never one without the other.

How many OKC size bombings happened after January 6?

Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches

Just so folks know: This article quotes the Society for Evidence-Based Gender Medicine, which is a formally-designated anti-trans hate group, as an authority here. The Economist should be ashamed of its reporting here. No wonder the authors refused to comment. www.splcenter.org/resources/ex...

Rest assured, everyone involved in my stories is always having fun and staying safe! :)

Every time I draw cartoon characters punching each other’s lights out, I’m actually encouraging and also literally doing violence. If I draw the Baba Yaga eating a baby, I’m literally advocating cannibalism and also doing meal-planning. Were Bluesky’s guidelines written by twelve-year-olds?

I hate that the first episode of DAN DA DAN has 5-10 minutes of the grossest and indefensible content because otherwise I would be screaming about how literally everyone needs to watch this show anime culture is diseased

Hey, @esqueer.net. I know you sold out your willingness to provide decent legal analysis for clout, and that's your choice. What's not your choice is whether you share someone's deadname. This isn't a question of whether you should know better. You do know better. Inexcusable behavior. Apologize.

If this isn't your response to doomerism I don't want to know you

came across some very cool science on Earth's environmental history, made possible by a swamp kauri kauri are a gorgeous native species of tree here in new zealand, and the one studied in this paper lived for 1,700 years, 42,000 years ago, and was preserved in a swamp on our North Island

Ken Klippenstein is a reprehensible motherfucker. Yeah, he has semi-reliable sources (not *reliable* ones). He is terminally irresponsible in his reporting and glues a bunch of suppositions and penumbras into shit designed to give people anxiety attacks.

Let me just say a simple thing. Democrats have no obligation to provide the votes to fund the destruction of our democracy. If you want my vote for a bipartisan budget, there need to be protections to stop Trump's brazen lawlessness.

Think about who you might be leaving behind when you submit your votes for #birdoftheyear #birdoftheyear2025

If you’re dropping your streaming services and looking for something else to entertain you, I am once again telling you to get a Dropout subscription so that I can talk to you about all their shows

"Old man who wants to be a king yells at clouds" does not mean we actually have a king. I'm so incredibly tired of these histrionics by people who have no excuse to act this way.

In North Carolina right now the Democrat running for Senate - in a state Trump won *three times* (I hate it too) - is leading by 6-8 points. 'Oh, but they'll cancel elections' - then force them to cancel elections and radicalize the normies and then march with the radicalized normies.

8th Cir. holds, 2-1, that it was clearly established law that officers could not use a pain compliance technique on a pipeline protester (which left him with permanent facial paralysis) who was merely trespassing and not actively resisting. No QI. ecf.ca8.uscourts.gov/opndir/25/09...

I think maybe we need to declare National Touch Grass Week. Like, everyone just log off, touch grass, pet dogs or cats.

I really wish more people on bsky could internalize that 95% of the drama on here is not a result of the thing you are disagreeing with someone over but is a result of the fact that you are being an asshole in the way you disagree. "Should you sign up for protests" should not cause this reaction!

these are war crimes, this is murder, the fact that they’re doing it openly and proudly does not change the fact that it’s warcrimemurder I would like to see more from the institutional church on this, especially since we seem determined to continue doing it

saw a post i liked on tumblr today.....didnt see that they'd posted it on their account here but i wish they would its a sentiment that resonated w me more than making "good" art it's just important to make art....thanks man

I don't usually post much that can even be construed as horny on main but this is far and away the best mechsploitation writing I have ever read, bar none. If you are the sort of person who is okay with the tags, I think you should try it. (Also @vexwerewolf.bsky.social please publish novels)

these are all problematic to some degree. but all very much from a place of love. condescending to be sure. and annoying at times. but ultimately fine i find it absurd that people think “liberals would rather team up with fascists than support trans people”. when that is just objectively false

what the average liberal thinks about trans people - wow your life sucks sorry about that - i think have to actively remember my trans relative’s pronouns because I think being trans is weird but okay - you should be able to get whatever hormones your doctor thinks are right

i’m extremely tired of people whingeing. or perhaps wishcasting. about how. liberals secretly hate trans people. or resent us. this has been broadly untrue for a decade+ this is not to say liberals are wholly good on trans shit. but pity and ignorance are. very different from. resentment and hate

2d Cir. holds a Christian school that was expelled from all state sporting activities after it forfeited a playoff basketball game bc of a trans student on the other team should have been granted a PI bc the state showed hostility to its religious views. ww3.ca2.uscourts.gov/decisions/is...

Washington Post’s commitment to personal liberties does not extend to employing people who criticize gun violence or accurately quote, without comment, Charlie Kirk’s words

I can’t believe we still debate the legal limits of the seal of confession—and some of y’all are telling your sins to ROBOTS that belong to PRIVATE COMPANIES that can be SUBPOENAED. 😵

This video of someone following soldiers around Washington DC playing the Imperial March from Star Wars is fucking hilarious. It’s also hilarious when bubba threatens to call metro police on the person for following them. 😂

You know that meme about "what opinions of yours are they cancelling?" / "oh you know the ones" This is that in full swing. What days were those, John?

I think a lot about how a 1991 kid's film had no problem saying "fearful people can easily be swept into a mob by a strongman" and the 2017 remake aimed at Disney Adults sanded it to "a spell made us mean, oopsie!"

this didn’t happen at the height of the Brexit referendum. I don’t *think* it’s happened since National Front were at their peak in 1970s. This is organised racist intimidation & movement building, and it’s happening because Labour Party leaders have not opposed that campaign.

the other thing that’s fascinating is that somehow it seems like the takeaway is that speaking out about this makes one not-political, but speaking out about other specific acts of agenda-driven murder would make one too-political

Probably about the same as everyone else who didn't get tracked and showered in opportunities and who is also struggling

Hi #QueerWritersChat! For A5, boost my microfiction! :D bsky.app/profile/cath...

WSJ just retracted its report that the shooter’s ammo was engraved with “transgender and anti-fascist ideology.” It smelled like bullshit from the beginning, and every conservative who ran with it should be shamed into obscurity.

America is a nation under the scourge of God; if we had not sinned terribly and without remorse it would not be upon us. Charlie Kirk made it his life's work to goad that sinning on, to make ourselves and each other worse, and profited thereby.

The Khan. Warren. There were a lot of statements that were...not wonderful. But to say "silence" simply isn't correct.

it sure does seem to me like the problem with the response so far is too many people pretending Kirk was not immensely, unspeakably evil, and not too many people defending murder evil people can get murdered and murder remains bad and evil remains bad what are we doing

I still want swords to be turned to plowshares, even when the guy who loved swords gets killed by one

idk where to say this so i hope it's alright here. but what i thought was a video of kirk speaking i clicked on was him getting shot. and i dont like kirk or anything he stood for, but it's still uh seeing a person get killed is difficult. please content warning tag your vids, folks.

“coming across hypergore videos on a regular basis online while trying to look up Minecraft videos” does not appear to have been good for the collective human psyche, no

if you find yourself starting to catastrophize on main you should go play some tetris rather than posting about it and this goes triple if you have a large group of followers, exercise some judgment

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

this is actually really cool looking toaster ruined by the giant SMEG

They erased the new Banksy mural in London. But the stain remains.
