You can't shame MAGA. It's impossible to shame shameless people. I go on and debate them, trust me. They will make excuses for and glorify Musk's Nazi salute and Trump pardoning violent insurrectionists. But remember there's a world out there - and the majority opposes it. Be loud. Don't be silent.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but now might be a great time to text your favorite people and tell them how much you love them. They really might need to hear it today.

I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

It’s been inspiring to see everyone come together for LA,,, but there’s one community I need to highlight. Not enough is being done for the black families after the LA fires. Ive partnered up with GoFundMe and the BMAC to create ONE main GoFundMe campaign to immediately help those in need. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

wise words from captain archer to remember today

Reppin' the #StarTrek, each and every day!

In honor of DS9's 32nd anniversary, I've come here to say that "Call Me Maybe" is a perfect song for Garashir's first meeting. Plain and simple.

my favorite genre of christmas song is “Horny for Santa” and i feel like we have progressed as a society enough to add one “Horny for Krampus” standard into the mix

Thinking about you, Leo from the Ninja Turtles, I forever love you 🫶🏻

@drewmagary.bsky.social Saw this the other day, did a double take, and of *course*, found it in the Williams Sonoma catalog. Who doesn't want an overpriced booze Keurig where the pods are literally the easiest ingredients to add into the drink?

It's finally getting cold, and the birds are becoming r o u n d

Aggressive reminder that your homework assignment is due today! You are required to post pictures of your pet targs in this thread. Describe their most honorable traits. There will be no extensions!

Jay: I think social media should be basically common infrastructure that society gets to use and evolve it as society evolves, building a more democratic form of social media to reflect a democratic society.

This is really lovely.

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.

QUARK TRIED TO ADD SOMETHING CALLED “RIZ” TO HIS HOLOSUITES AND NOW HOLO-CHANNING TATUM IS POPPING AND LOCKING ON THE PROMENADE

I open my Bluesky feed and it is full of really cool people saying really smart things and being really passionate about really interesting stuff. I like this version of social media, and the world. Thanks, folks.

FYI. if you are a trans person without a passport in your correct gender, seems like US Passport Office is turning around expedited passport requests in less than two weeks right now. Get that passport if you can. I can't understate the value of official government ID in your correct gender.

Okay, y’all… I have finally decided that retreat is the better part of valor. Bringing some rainbow energy over to these blue skies. #bydhttmwdi

I hate Elon Musk.

Exciting updates,,, The REAL Mark Hamill has officially joined,!! @markhamillofficial.bsky.social Marks are making their mark over here @mcuban.bsky.social He might ghost ya but that’s cuz he’s Casper @devonsawa.bsky.social Making all your fantasies and nightmares true @realgdt.bsky.social

The discourse over twitter & leaving vs staying is getting truly goofy in some directions. Twitter is not a *place* ffs. Twitter without the people is nothing. We have 100% of the power over whether twitter has value or not. When we leave, we're not ceding ground? We're taking the ground with us.

Sums up the current state of the US politics

Please support bookshops. Independent bookshops. They are so wonderful. Yes you pay a little more. But I think of it as paying for the experience. The experience of browsing. And that oh-so-important bookshop smell. 🖖 Fu** big corporations.

Dunno if I’m doing this right,,, but lemme know what accounts need to be added to the #BlackExcellence Starter Pack. Journalists, Professors, Scientists, Musicians, Writers,,,

My niece [aged six] has asked me to share her favorite joke with you all. "How many tickles does it take to get an octopus to laugh?" "TEN tickles!"

Me every time a new person is announced on that man’s team.

What an achievement vaccines are. What a monument to our love for each other it is to stare straight into the face of something as horrific and unstoppable as smallpox or measles or polio or cervical cancer and say “You know what, it doesn’t have to be like this.” HUMANS!

how did twitter end

Bluesky right now feels a little like all the Whos gathering to sing after the Grinch stole their floofloovers and jingtinglers.

Fourteen years later... yeah, I was sad to go, but with the clowns running the circus, nothing felt like it would be protected from scraping or a litigious muskrat...So nice to engage with folks here. Feels like moving into a new room and being able to put your houseplants on a nice cozy windowsill.

Happy #LowerDecks Day!!!!! Remember if you have a domesticated Moopsy - keep them happy with a bowl of ice cream.

A friend just texted me, “Caligula only appointed one horse.”

people who use goodreads: jeff bezos owns goodreads and if you want a better alternative there is a black woman owned company called storygraph that you can use to replace it. you can transfer all of your data from goodreads to storygraph and have your mind be free of trumpie jeff bezos! win win. 💙

Folks be leaving Twitter like:

I am very happy about the WGA strike coming to a close and I very much hope this mean execs everywhere are pooping their pants and trying to figure out how to treat their workers fairly

Good news. I'm looking forward to being able to read and vote on the proposed deal. Hope that they now can close an acceptable deal with SAG-AFTRA. (This is a gift link so it should work.) www.nytimes.com/live/2023/09...

Just watched Catwoman’s introductory episode on the 1966 1st season of Batman. Did not expect this dialogue.
