Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

I miss all the fun stuff on here. "Adobe Gets Bullied Off Bluesky" futurism.com/adobe-bullie...

You know that US Dept. of Ed site where you can report a teacher for diversity, equity, and inclusion? It'd be a shame if it received so many false reports that it went down. It'd be a SHAME. (Don't forget to upload a 10Mb file.) enddei.ed.gov

Dark Horse Digital is shutting down, with comics no longer available to purchase from the publisher's platform.

Looks like the deep staff cuts at @darkhorse.com is affecting their digital presence. Darkhorse Digital is no more. The Darkhorse app has this message today.

NO. I refuse to have Gemini. I already went through each gmail account and specifically turned it off. Today it turned itself back on.

Goodnight, Bluesky.

I had to look it up myself because I couldn't believe it. It's REAL. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

Never tolerate the intolerant. Always punch Nazis.

Hey, Shel Silverstein. They finally invented The Homework Machine. It just costs a little more than a dime.

Let's go, @schatz.bsky.social!

What? The shrimp wonton tom yum from Costco has no business being so good. It actually is a decent replacement for our fav restaurant that moved away.

Bluesky is just a lot of people screaming with their fingers on their keyboards right now.

I thank the journalists at Wired, Teen Vogue, and The Verge for reporting what large legacy media outlets are afraid to plainly say. www.theverge.com/politics/605...

Desperate pleas in beautiful imagery. Watch Andrea Gibson reciting her poem Homesick: A Plea for Our Planet. www.tiktok.com/t/ZT22Fojpp/

@neilhimself.neilgaiman.com Consider donating all rights to your works to organizations like Women's Aid and the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. Audiences can then truly separate you from your art and the artists in cancelled shows based on your work can continue working.

So this is what it's like when the Fire Nation attacks.

LGBTQ youth are calling crisis hotlines in record numbers Fears have escalated with the Trump³⁴'s anti-LGBTQ actions and the release of his J6 goons onto our streets Image below has hotline numbers that can help We have to stick together. We must remain visible. We can not obey in advance

Whelp, can't find eggs in grocery stores. So there's that.

Took all social media links off of my work signature and all our organization's newsletters.

I know some use social media as a way to trauma bond with snarky comments and memes to express your outrage, but I really don't need it. I agree with you, but I'm gonna unfollow you for the next 4 years or so.

I wouldn't mind living through "easy times" once in a while.

warm lines save lives. please share 💖 credit ig: @/inclusivetherapists

Americans will buy magic beans if you tell them a story.

Brandon Sanderson is posting his latest lecture series on writing fantasy and scifi on a weekly basis: youtu.be/MEUh_y1IFZY...

Would love to see @skylight.social come to fruition soon. Thank you, @buildwithtori.com @reedharmeyer.bsky.social

Love that Cory Doctorow had a tribute to Fu-Schnickens in his blog. pluralistic.net/2025/01/17/h...

I finished the final episode of Star Trek Lower Decks last night and now I have that sweet melancholy of missing a great series. I'm hoping for a movie or crossover episode sometime in the future.

Remember the 80s when all U.S. movie villains were either Nazis, Russians, rich white men, bullies, or aliens? I'm wondering when Khan will get a Whitehouse appointment.

In retrospect, using a Delorean time machine to just save your parents' marriage in 2015 is pretty selfish. Sheesh, Marty.

My breakfast was miso soup and rice, which is also what some pet cats in Japan eat. That fully explains my social skills.

Not looking to start up on another social platform, but someone please tell me when Pixelfed's iOS app launches this week. Because fuck Meta.

I've followed benjiplant on Youtube for his aesthetic videos on plant care. Unfortunately, like other creators, he's documented the destruction of his home by the LA fires. youtu.be/MTSsh_g3_4c...

No comic has ever drawn me back into comics as an adult like FML. I'm actually looking up preview pages in anticipation of the next issues (out Jan. 15). So freakin' good! @kellysue.bsky.social @davidlopez.bsky.social

Fire survivors: Go create a dedicated email for anything and everything Fire related. Gmail is fine, but have an address to give out to charities, insurance people, construction people, all that stuff. I wish I’d done this.

Here is an ongoing list of LA restaurants that are offering shelter, food, and support to first responders and evacuees: bit.ly/LAaid
