shout out to all the parent writers. to all the projects started and then withered because a kid had a cold, or fell when you were jotting an idea down, or started a bath and jumped in still dressed. for the conferences and fellowships and sub windows missed. shout out to y’all who keep coming back.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Sea of Rays

Send Dems into rural America to talk about what Trump is doing. The Republicans are too scared and won’t show their faces…in the vacuum of messaging, there is power. Tell the folks who is hurting them. Point to the GOP. Be the foil to the shit that’s happening. Be the party of the people.

Big protest coming to Stonewall National Monument in just an hour or two. If you are in the area, get down there, be active, show your disapproval of the removal of transgender people from all online websites for the Stonewall National Monument page!

In 2024, in my area of Alabama, most of the republican candidates were running UNOPPOSED. There were no democratic candidates to even vote for. It was extremely disappointing, but made me wonder how easy it might be to unseat them if someone even tried.

Folks with any reach on Bluesky, please consider reposting so I can find friends old and new: I'm Rob; I like fantasy books, maths and physics, ancient stuff and mythology, linguistics and music, British wildlife, and a whole bunch of other stuff. And I might occasionally mention Doctor Who

Please share.

If you’re opposed to fascism, please make sure you’re working on internalized ableism. The link between fascism, eugenics and ableism is well documented. Fight for disability rights. Make resistance efforts accessible. Wear a mask & stay home when sick. Don’t leave us behind.

I know a lot of going to shit rn, but if it gives you a laugh, I overheard someone say the words “abdominal snowman” at physical therapy.

Please know your rights. Get rid of biometric ID on your phone and don't take your phone to protests. Download Signal and start using it.

Very worth noting!

This is *super important*. Cult exits are hard (and those leaving Trump are leaving a cult), and having those on the outside be like “you idiot” actually risks sending them back into the cult, and also needlessly adds to the pain/embarrassment they will be feeling. +

Surprising but not entirely unexpected…

What keeps me going

I can’t recommend enough that you follow this fabulous artist… Following their dreams and being kind to others? That right there is the definition of a good-souled adventurer 🤗

It’s back up! (Halsin and Winnie by @lunarella-art.bsky.social, “Shall prove but mine instrument” by Tamsin Barlow, I’ll have to look the artists for Aragorn Jesus and Gale and put them in the comments)

@davejones.actor I found the artist behind the Winnie the Pooh Halsin art (@silverlunarella on instagram) www.instagram.com/p/DF01d8yy2W...

The firehouse of executive orders is intentional. It is meant to overwhelm. It is meant to destabilize. But authoritarian control requires effort. It is brittle, and it breaks when stressed. Fuck the empire.

Hey everyone, I don't think Meg's on Bluesky, so is there any chance we could try and spread this around here? Link: ko-fi.com/agameganon/s... #AncientBluesky #ClassicsBluesky 🏺

FYI, for aspiring allies… pls don’t refer to trans people as “transgenders”, “transes”, “tr@nnies”, etc, even as a joke. As with many marginalized groups, we can call ourselves certain words, for various reasons, but you should not. “Trans people” or “trans folx” (or folks) are just fine.

It’s a good point, but let’s not shame people for their accents, ok? PLENTY of people in the South are not conservative and do not support them.

Omg they’re little snow shelves

A lot of Christians and people of other religions and faith traditions don’t believe in the threat of fire and brimstone either, so thanks to them too.

Alright, I created this account long ago but I’m actually using twitter less now, so here I am. I was “an angry elf”/@cloudsareships on there, so if you recognize me, say hi!
