I joined Blue Sky to post about my cats and then my government lost what was left of its mind. So now there's lots of activism stuff too

Truth. Also, anyone who chooses to naturalize is American. Countries stagnate without influx of ideas from different cultures. We'd do better being more relaxed with both Visas and citizenship.

I'm disabled with chronic pain. I can't march, but I paint a lot of signs for people who march. The Right wing wants us to believe we can do nothing.

Lol I feel this. Kidney stones are just... indescribable to anyone who hasn't had them. There's so much protein added to everything. I'm vegan and still have to go out of my way to reduce protein intake

Whistleblowers are so important and so brave. It's a dangerous thing to do

This! ^^^ So important! Your voice needs to be amplified, shared. We need to keep remind humans to connect with other humans and rebuild the empathy that systemic racism, ableism, and let's be honest the distance provided by internet 'social' media, has destroyed.

It's MA: the weather's always doing something. Dress in layers, carry a pocket poncho, be ready for anything. We got this!

Considering we had spice wars, and have warred over salt, I say my misread was totally justified.

I agree if they feel it's necessary, make it something beautiful like the butterfly. I still am not sure it's a good idea at all, but at least it won't look like a direct Twitter copy

I know you're a Russian bot because you mushed together a string of unreadable nonsense. If you're a human, make an actual point in readable sentences.

Yes he has strongly demonstrated his disdain for the disabled community. I make each sign double sided: 1 side "no kings," other side a specific issue. By the time I make 1 sign for each problem, we'll need hundreds of sign holders =(

I'm far less engaged than most people in the groups I'm in, but I try to join every time I can. Community makes a huge difference: past movements I tried to join had no use for me cause my disabilities limit how much I can do physically. Currently, I paint signs and make phone calls

It felt like that to me too and it's really scary and hard but I can't give up hope that there is a way and we just haven't collectively figured it out yet. Which is why I'm in way too many groups: so I can try everything I can manage to participate in until we figure out the right focus

I'm going to assume what she intended to indicate was that she resulted from an unwanted pregnancy, but she forgot she had just said the thing about incest. Cause memory of a goldfish
