Can Bluesky hide post behind a content warning like Mastodon can? I can't figure out how, and I want to talk about Thunderbolts but not spoil it for those who haven't seen it.

Thirty-five years ago, I got an Amex card on the promise of discounted airfares. Not only could I not get the discounts, none of the travel agencies wanted to take Amex. I canceled and began a personal boycott. I STILL don't use Amex. I won't have a problem never again shopping at Target.

PLEASE don’t buy into Amazon’s booksale this week. They are intentionally trying to eat into profits from Indie Bookstore Day this weekend, a really important annual event for our important community institutions. Check out your local fave or bookshop.org.

Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.

In last night's session of "Farm Sim the RPG," our city girl's mom arrived to bring her back to the city, but the city girl decided to stay on the farm. Then they paid off the loan on the farm a whole month before it came due! #ttrpg

Some of my son's school friends are into Harry Potter. I had to explain to him that we don't buy Harry Potter things because the woman who writes the books make unkind choices. Trans women are women.

160 years ago today, the traitor Jefferson Davis and his treasonous cabinet abandoned Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy, spelling the beginning of the end of the Civil War. A day for all patriots to celebrate.

The reason DEI exists is so that competent, qualified people don't get passed over in favor of mediocre incompetent white men who had a well-connected buddy. Or so that utter morons who share war plans on the group chat don't hire their brother and get away with it bc they're white dudes.

We’re not a regular audiobook app. We’re a cool audiobook app. (As in, we share profits with indie bookshops, not billionaires, are DRM-free, and are an employee-owned Social Purpose Corporation.)

GOP: These illegal immigrants are taking our jobs! Also the GOP: We can't find anybody to fill these jobs. Let's make children do it. In addition to this just being terrible, I also doubt they can find enough 14 year olds willing to work the overnight shift. www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

Musk's team can't tell if social security recipients are living or dead, cabinet members can't tell who's on their text chain... I miss DEI.

This is your regular reminder that the point of DEI is to make sure incompetent white people don't take away jobs from highly qualified BIPOC people. Jobs like defense secretary. apnews.com/article/war-...

I really wish Query Manager had the options for asking about author's social media accounts other than Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. I don't use any of those anymore, and there are plenty of authors who find me here on Bluesky. Perhaps a box for a general: Other Social Media accounts

Sad to see those involved with Sigil lose their jobs. When it was announced, I remember thinking I didn't care about the fancy 3d animations. I care much more about speed and functionality, and most of all connecting with my friends. It seems I was in the majority. www.enworld.org/threads/has-...

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

I'd like to publicly announce that I will not be attending Gen Con this year. Not only is the expense too high for me at the moment, I am actually scared for the first time about travelling into the US. I'll miss all y'all terribly.

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations. When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️
