To those who have joined Bluesky after attending my #scbwiNY25 workshop, I encourage you to check out the links in my Pinned Post, especially my Quickstart Guide for newcomers: publish.obsidian.md/debbieohi/qu... #BlueSkyTips

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

It feels like getting hugged by one of those wire-frame surrogate mothers when baby monkeys are found lost in the jungle.

Stewart Rhodes, leader of Oath Keepers, was convicted of conspiracy & sentenced to 18 years in prison for Jan 6. Now pardoned & released by Trump, he says Jan 6 should be known as “Patriots Day”. Michael Fanone, a former DC Police Officer had a message for him, live on CNN: “Go fuck yourself”🔥

For years, many on the right have hijacked the Church for their own political ends, whilst often espousing values which are the antithesis of Christian & other faiths. New rule: you want a photo opp in Church? Brace for some truths. Mariann Budde just did church & state a huge service.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

Anyone have a starter pack for gardening and/or permaculture? #gardening #permaculture #starterpack

It’s notable that the double Nazi salute is not only clear, it’s also perfectly in line with Elon Musk and Trump’s ideology of white genocide, great replacement theory, and the cult of reproduction. And Nazis are very much feeling empowered to be visible today.

Today and in the coming days, remember

Apologies for getting a bit political on main tonight. I think this cartoon sums it up.

I know this sounds weak, I know it. But kindness is one of the few things we carry that can make a difference for each other. We can’t undo all this hate, but we can still make life a little easier for others.

And now tiktok is back up....?

They changed the message again. Tiktok drama when it doesn't even exist anymore. #tiktok #tiktokban

❌Medicare for All ❌Banning congressional stock trading ❌Getting money out of politics ❌Voting rights ❌Reproductive rights ❌College for All ❌Universal childcare ❌Criminal justice reform ❌Housing for All ✅Banning TikTok

If Congress actually gave a damn about our data privacy, they would’ve passed a sweeping data privacy bill, not a bill targeting TikTok.

Haircut inspirations for my next visit to the stylist. Thinking I might add an undercut with it on the back of the neck.

As negative temperatures approach my growing zone (6a), I'm so glad for the snow still insulating some of my plants and the forethought I had to insulate my flower beds with leaves in the fall. I knew it was going to be a cold one. #gardening #Midwest

One of the coolest parts of releasing the at protocol TikTok (aka @skylight.social) after only 72 hours of building, is that every time users open the app, they’ll see new updates!! Hopefully every update brings it closer and closer to the community feeling so many of us experienced on TikTok!

Never conform

There have been some really hard days this last year and especially the last few months, but no matter what, I can't squash my hope. It endures.

The lighting is horrible for both portraits, but if anyone ever wanted proof that Trump aspires to be a dictator, there it is. That's how he wants to be presented to the world: a surly, intimidating villain. We don't use underlighting on heroes or statesmen.

My teenager decorated my window for Christmas. It's so cute.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...

Today, more window sill trinkets. I bought this on a recent trip to NYC. It's only a few inches tall. I wanted something colorful and kitchy. I think I nailed it. #snowglobe #souvenir #NYC

My kitchen window brings me joy. This faux stained glass was a house warming gift from my friend when I moved in. It sure makes things beautiful.
