My last repost is exactly how I’ve felt about Bluesky! People are so wonderful and kind here, but the constant stream of bad news is overwhelming and makes me feel less empowered.

It's been tough to look at Bluski lately. It feels like I'm visiting a friend who I like but who's constantly telling me about all the horrible things going on in the world and with them personally, just a constant stream of Very Bad Stuff.

regardless of politics, i think we can all agree that joe biden’s secret service-biting dog should have the opportunity to challenge trump for the presidency like this

I love this time of year because people will post something super dramatic and vague like “Nooooooo” and I can’t tell if it’s about football or *gestures outside window* all of this.

I can’t wait to put up the biggest, gayest Pride display in my library this year.

Look, I don’t even care if you don’t like Taylor Swift… the fact that we can’t even search the words small and man together now is deeply concerning.

When I say “my cat is the prettiest cat on earth” please understand that YOUR CAT is also the prettiest cat on Earth. BOTH of our dogs are the cutest dogs in America. My pets’ beauty does not take away from your pets’ beauty. They are all good dogs, Brant.

Reminder that Librivox offers free audiobooks for books in the public domain. Fantastic resource if you're working your way through classics (or listen to a large amount of audiobooks.) #booksky

One thing before tomorrow: Use your local libraries. Get your card. Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks. Recommend titles for purchase (usually online). Attend promoted activities. Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires. Tell your kids that libraries are good. They are. 📚

clean girl this, brown mascara that. sorry gen z but I want to look like I murdered my first husband for the money and am about to ruin the pool boy's life. it's called glamour, darling

Well. While he’s pardoning folks….get all of the folks on death row pardoned, all those drug convictions for weed pardoned, etc etc etc.

This isn't a culture war. This is the only trans congresswoman, ever being bullied through the press and legislation, and having only 1 of hundreds of colleagues stand up for her. They can do more than 1 thing at a time. Defending her will not take so much effort that they can't do their jobs.

Today on Trans Day Of Remembrance we remember and honor the lives lost to transphobia, hate, and violence. Around the world and in the USA, states continue to pass anti-trans laws and the trans community continues to be attacked.

Bluesky feels a lot like my Twi**er feed before 2016.

Just a picture of my Piper to add joy to your day.
