It took like half an hour for it to even occur to me that someone could have done this on purpose because these cars just do that on their own so often.

Today is the day! QUEEN OF FURY is finally here. 💚 Romance, adventure, magic, & unbridled feminine rage. The follow-up to the critically acclaimed feminist Arthurian retelling, QUEEN OF NONE, opens wide the world of Braetan, and brings together two unlikely characters who change everything.

Is there a Peter Gabriel maxim where if he appears on the soundtrack, it's likely the movie kind of rules? NATURAL BORN KILLERS, SAY ANYTHING, THE CHOCOLATE WAR, STRANGE DAYS, VIRTUOSITY... what am I missing? BIRDY? LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST of course... Well, there should be.

Oh yeah...I'm an artist. I ought to post some of my work. Pardon the watermark - I'm leery of posting art because of AI scraping. Though, these images have already been stolen for training anyway so I suppose it doesn't really matter. Anyway - here's some art. #artist #artshare #supportlivingartists

Seems like I'm on this list and have been blocked by the o7rise account... Block lists can be very helpful, but be sure to check the trustworthiness of the person making them. Looks like the MAGAs are here and making bad-faith lists with the intention of ensnaring non-MAGAs.

I am very curious to see if the military brass sees a disconnect coming between their oaths of service and their chain of command. And by curious I mean, this is not a situation anyone should ever want and yet here we are.

To help with this, you can go to Settings and under "Basics" click Accessibility and you can turn on "Require alt text before posting". It's helped me - I've tried to remember to do alt text wherever I can, but I forget occasionally - I love that Bluesky has this setting.

Ages ago, I posted a link to a video (because videos couldn't be posted here at the time) of me after 2 weeks learning bass. Since we can post videos here now - this is one from August I think. Anyway - I'm quite pleased with how well I've done in just under a year.

This is really important. Trans people basically founded Bluesky Being on here the last year has allowed me to learn so much about the trans experience, and the trans community is a special, integral part of the Bluesky community We don't do transphobia here, got it?

Meta (Facebook & Instagram) is purging links to our comics going back a decade and forbidding folks from sharing even in private chats. This does severely limit our ability to reach our followers, BUT people can join our Patreon FOR FREE to still receive comic updates! www.patreon.com/c/OhJoySexToy

As @jvl.bsky.social pointed out, Harris ran a smart campaign. She was a solid candidate. Trump ran a disastrous campaign and is in clear decline. This was a clear choice. No matter who wins, half of voters either chose bigotry and authoritarianism, or had no problem with it. And that’s hard to take.

Friendly reminder that MAGA is a cult, TFG is not giving every American $2M, & the "they" who called him a "stable genius" is himself...guess his pronouns are he/they, then. Anyway, if you'd like to be able to vote again in 4 years, maybe vote for the lady who isn't planning a fascist dictatorship.

Y'ever notice when a natural disaster occurs in a perceived liberal area it's "God's wrath" because liberals believe people should be allowed to live their lives as their authentic selves, but when its happens in a perceived conservative area some nebulous "they" are "controlling the weather"?

My fellow white women: SHOW UP & do the thing. Black women have saved our bacon plenty of times, the LEAST we can do is keep the orange menace from getting power back. Because if you think the other party will not Handmaid's Tale you just because you are white, you need to have a word with yourself.
