I'm going on a trip to see a relative that I haven't seen in 20 years so of course I'd accidentally shave off part of my eyebrow the night before I leave. #humor

I'm not getting as much engagement here on Blue Sky than I did on threads. But my followers are almost where I built my threads accounts to without even trying. What am I doing wrong?

I successfully advocated that my company put effort into stocking ethnically diverse hygiene products at our community drop-in centers. Are dropping centers serve mostly non-white individuals and the hygiene packs we currently have are not made with our clients culturally identities in mind.

This should terrify every American. It doesn’t matter where you stand on immigration. Using our military as a domestic law enforcement tool at mass scale will destroy its core purpose, turn the American people against them, and damage the institution for decades.

Doing open enrollment at work today I'm not seeing my fascism insurance coverage. So disappointing

NEW: Secretary of Defense nominee Hegseth PAID a woman who accused him of sexual assault to keep her quiet. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

When your husband's already text you in but you look up a random fact that you have to share with him immediately. So you call just to tell him testosterone in saliva can be transferred between people and that in women that can increase libido.

If you’re “strongly discouraging” the release of an ethics report, you’re on the wrong side of history. CC: Speaker Johnson

Use AI to compare health plans during open enrollment! I uploaded info for my husband and me, tested scenarios based on this year's health care usage data, and found the best option. There's almost a $6,000 difference between this year's and next year's selections.

If you are unsure if your 🏡 has adequate smoke detectors, check out the Red Cross 🏡🔥 campaign in your area. I had two lovely volunteers stop by & test all of my smoke detectors & install additional units. 💯 free. #redcross #soundthealarm

I've long sung the praises of donating to abortion funds, but there are now similar efforts you can donate to for trans people seeking healthcare. The Campaign for Southern Equality's Trans Youth Emergency Project offers families support and grants to travel out of state: southernequality.org/tyep/

It's weird I had a lot to say on threads. But since the election besides mental health tips I don't have much to say. There are a lot of people that are tired including myself. We must rise again but it may not be this day.

We're going to take over this place the same way we took over threads: by building up all of you First, hit the like button, reply with #NoDemUnder1k, and most importantly, hit the REPOST button. Then follow each other back. The easiest way to do so is to follow everyone who reposts. Here's how:

Living under fascism tip: when you feel anxious & dysregulated. Use the dive relex to slow your fight, flight, freeze. Place something cold over your 🥶 & hold your breath for 10 seconds. 🔂several times until you feel calmer. This response slows the heart, breath, & sends blood to vital organs.

My husband is an ops manager at a mattress recycling plant & it's 8:00 p.m. & he's still not home. One of his drivers backed over a leaf bag, and the assistant pulled a 🔫, shot the homeowner, & forced the driver to ditch the 🔫. I truly believe in second chances but this is terrifying. #stressedwife

Are we posting flits or fleets?

Why city planning needs diverse perspectives. Touring possible commuter cycling routes. What I saw - Smooth pavement. Separate from traffic. Shade. Not too busy. Perfect. What my female partner saw - Blind corners. No lighting. No escape routes. Too few users. Wouldn’t use this route.

Speaking of the utterly broken Twitter search (RIP), here are instructions for searching on Bluesky. It requires a little more from you, but once you know the prefixes, I've found the search works just fine. bsky.social/about/blog/0...

What do we call posts on here? Flitz? Kind of like butterfly wings?
