I wish "Bastard Child of @stonekettle.bsky.social " was a bigger hashtag, oeuvre, and factual life. Bluntly, it'd be nice to know there are others like me. @stonekettle.bsky.social Dude, I have no other way of saying it other than, 'Hi Dad! I adore you!' Let's set some MFers straight, man! 💜

So many people have grown up to be the villains of our stories.

Get me to God’s country

NEW: Donald Trump announced the US was imposing reciprocal tariffs on a small collection of Antarctic islands that are not inhabited by humans, as part of a global trade war aimed at asserting US dominance. The Heard and McDonald Islands are known for their populations of penguins.
