The schism happened! Holy shit! Or would that be…unholy shit!

...if any of my few Catholic friends On Here not talking about it wondered if the Lefebvrists--SSPX--went through with it, yep, they did

It could have been glorious! We can take it back and make it so. Let’s do exactly that, damn it, because best shaped cow competitions, deep fried pies, and strongman contests should all have a common place in this fucked up country, y’know?!

To paraphrase Andrew Weissmann, the fact that this case was even considered and that three justices were happy to abandon the Constitution should not exactly be cause for dancing in the streets.

The Republican party does not care about children.

It‘s just insane to me that a sitting president has made MORE THAN A BILLION DOLLARS peddling fucking fairy dust with no intrinsic value beyond his stature and power AS president, and it’s not treated as the biggest corruption scandal in American history.

Imagine what enforcement of this would look like. Imagine what "detection" would look like.

All girls are going to be harassed and pedo/predator coaches are going to demand to “see for themselves”. “Wrong” haircut, phenotype, etc. will be enough. And Black girls will get it the worst.

Guaranteed: 1) Black girls will be harassed and demanded to be tested over and over again regardless of how competitive they are. 2) Winners from public schools will be relentlessly hounded by the parents and coaches of losers at private schools, with the goal of making them quit the sport.

Happy 159th birthday, Canada! I love you, my neighbour to the south! I stand on guard for thee!

KOSA just passed today in the US House. Maybe you got a glitches out soft launch of the age verification feature by accident. You KNOW they are working on it.

Letting you know now that there's nine bills in US congress that are variants on this subject. And 19 US states already have laws on the books about it. It's going to happen again, and it's going to happen on every site if those bills aren't stopped.

Im learning that in countries with age verification laws you just cant access the DMs, but my popup blocked me from accessing any part of the site. No i didnt give anyone info, yes it fixed itself after 2 logout/restarts. No i dont know if it's gonna happen again :/

Putting the followup here since some ppl asked if it's phishing scam. I forgot to take a screenshot but it was an in-app popup blocking me from accessing the entire site and it only had the options to verify (emailing my linked address) or log out bsky.app/profile/dest...

Bluesky dot app lemme tell you youre not important enough for me to give you my entire ssn buddy

I got away this time by closing and reopening the app but it did force a logout. Yall are not getting my fucking ssn or credit card are you insane @bsky.app

Well i dont know how long this login session is gonna last but @bsky.app just asked me to do an age verification with personal information. If this happens again i will not attempt to log back in. If i dont post here again let bsky know that i prefer my privacy over this platform.

This is the "reasonable concerns" solution to trans life? Really? I find all of this intolerable.

We are swiftly headed for a society in which a trans kid must undergo state mandated torture, are banned from being on line, are banned from hanging out in most public spaces, are banned from using bathrooms at school, banned from accessing the health care they need, and banned from playing sports.

That’s exactly what it is: this admin is attempting-by virtually every way possible-to erase everyone they deem as unworthy/undeserving of a job a white man can do from the workforce-starting w/those they deem the least…anything, really. They see Black women as less than nothing, which is bullshit.

And nobody cares except us. I’m on like six unemployed black woman listservs, where everyone’s freaking out, and nobody’s like “I’m running on trying to get y’all jobs.” It’s like we’re being erased from American society.

"This company is turning people into food, but damn they make some delicious meals!" #NihilismAndTechnology

This "yeah, but" type shit is driving the disintegration of privacy and fuelling the mass normalization of surveillance. Same goes for AI: "Yeah, sure, it's a sycophantic & panoptic suicide coach, but we must prepare students for the future." A push towards acquiescence underpins so much marketing.

Heat wave! Time for all of the utility companies to tell us to keep our AC at 82 and use 2 tablespoons of water a week on our grass so large corporations can continue surveilling us and training AI to take our jobs.

IMHO, the Supreme Court is a *bigger* problem than Trump, and it should be the primary target for reform. Trump and Congress would both be very different under a law-abiding SCOTUS, which would have stopped government action clearly animated by racism and racially gerrymandered districts.

Completely incoherent and contradictory

Roberts' core holding is that (a) the Federal Reserve is special because of history, and (b) Trump did not allow Lisa Cook to exercise her statutory right to dispute the charges against her. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Slaughter is an earthquake: SCOTUS has overturned a 90-year-old precedent that facilitated much of modern governance by granting many agencies meaningful independence from the president. Now SCOTUS crushes that independence ... for seemingly every agency except the Federal Reserve.

We have Slaughter and Cook. By a 6–3 vote, SCOTUS overturns Humphrey's Executor and lets Trump fire heads of independent agencies. But by a 5–4 vote, it refuses to let him fire Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p... www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

I have a patient who needs to rehome 2 very, VERY adorable kittens ASAP. I want them so very badly, but I know that I don’t have the space for 2 more cats in my apartment, and I doubt that BoboCat would forgive me if I brought them home. At the same time, I don’t want to see them get put down…

I sincerely wish my pharmacy would stay open until 5 on Saturdays, if only because I truly struggle to get moving before 3:30 pm, and they close at 4pm.

He lies about this like he lies about everything else he says: because he has convinced himself it is the truth despite all evidence to the contrary. He is in a cult, and until he is able to get out and shake free of that mindset, he will continue to display that pathological mindset & behavior.

Apparently, Amazon has partnered with Hinge health to offer pelvic floor therapy and I cannot possibly think of anything else I would want Amazon *LESS* involved in than the health of my pelvic floor. I do not care how fucked up it may be-I do NOT want Jeff Bezos having anything to do with it.

*runs up, out of breath* Am I too late for the shrimp discourse??

adding to the reasons why not to

Days getting shorter for the next six months all because this drama queen earth is tilted on its axis. Stand up straight you ass hole

Apropos of nothing, live a life such that at 100, everyone is talking about you like you're Mel Brooks, as opposed to, "Isn't that motherfucker dead yet????"

Happy 100th Birthday, Mel Brooks!

Mel Brooks is 100 on the 28th! Drop a gif of your favorite of his films to celebrate

Imagine writing “Springtime for Hitler” as satire, believing that freak was safely in the past, and then living long enough to see the next incarnation of him show up to take power, but this time in your own country. Mel Brooks, who turns 100 on Sunday, has seen a lot.

I wish more politicians could be like him. Focused on their local communities & their safety. Creating jobs by shoring up local infrastructure. Doing their job.

This is why I respectfully refuse to go there again. I love you, @theford.bsky.social, but it’s just not gonna happen. If I have to visit places, I prefer to go closer to the North Pole than South of the Border for now, I think. #NorthShore

Texas in a nutshell.

It took these incompetent idiots two weeks to find a giraffe in Texas. Two weeks. And then of course there's the sick reality that this poor giraffe is "owned" by the equivalent of a giraffe puppy mill. www.vox.com/future-perfe...

It is NOT "Doomerism" to post FACTS. Such as the fact that the anti-ICE protestors in Texas were just sentenced to DECADES in prison for "Terroism". We're not talking about this devistating news enough. We're talking 30 to 70 to 100 years. As an organizer, this is terrifying.

Gracie the Giraffe—who disappeared a day before the 5th game of the NBA finals—Is Found ‘Fat and Happy’ 2 Weeks After Escaping Texas Ranch www.nytimes.com/2026/06/26/u... clearly she belongs in NY.

If Texas is going to make kids read the Bible, what verses should be mandatory? I'll start. "... from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need." (Acts 4:34-35 NIV)

We don't have to continue putting up with this man, Texas. Vote for @vikkigoodwintx.bsky.social for lt. gov this fall.

Today, a terrified Mike Johnson warned that a GOP midterm wipeout would mean an end to their impunity, Texas ignored the First Amendment, and the UN called for oversight into our detention camps. Our recap on Substack: reallyamerican.substack.com/p/breaking-t...
