@stevenbeschloss.bsky.social I'm currently reading Patricia Evangelista's book. I waited to read it. I'm terrified for so many reasons. I hope people read her book ASAP. #PatriciaEvangelista #Booksthatmatter #BookTok #BookClub #Prologue #GoodTroubleNecessaryTrouble #BookSky

Correct, it is not just L.A. I'm in Georgia, and many people here are scared; businesses are being impacted. I can only write so many letters to my representatives. We must unite and use our money as a vote. Look at your 401Ks & who you are investing in.

In honor of #BourdainDay2025 I just submitted letters to Senators Warnock, Ossoff, & Rep Mike Collins.
"Lastly, with respect to the inhumane & despicable treatment of Narciso Barranco (and countless others we may not be aware of), I demand accountability for the despicable beating Narcisco endured.

And yet, not one post telling people to call Fidelity, JPMorgan, Goldman, BOA, or Edward Jones. We can change things if we choose to. #VoteWithYourInvestments #VoteWithYour401K #YourMoneyYourVote #WatchBillionsOnShowtime #TuDineroTuVoice

Hi Angela, I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing a painful flare-up in your hands & feet. I'm not sure what advice to give since I am fairly new to this platform. Have you been documenting what may been triggering a flare? I hope you feel better soon.

Call the scientists in the book The Code Breaker to the hearing. I would like RFK Jr to respond to questions or spar with Jennifer Doudna, Emile Charpentier, and Feng Zhang. Isaacson, W. (2021). The Code Breaker: Jennifer Doudna, Gene Editing, and the Future of the Human Race. Simon & Schuster.

The reason people are accepting this is because not enough people are calling their Republican Representatives and telling them they do not approve of this, and they need to stop this now. Everyone needs to get on the phone and call your Representatives & Senators.

I just called Rep. Mike Collins Washington office. I expressed my concerns and asked that he reconsider his support for cuts to Medicaid. As always, I was respectful.

Anthony Bourdain wrote this Under The Volcano essay for us. Sharing today, as I do every year. I celebrate Bourdain Day on June 25 because he fought for us in that #GoodTrouble essay. #Migente #Luchador #ChefLove #Bourdain #Cooks #Familia #CincoDeMayo

I put that quote in a paper I wrote. It was a group assignment where my peers chose Telsa & I refused to work on it. "For the kids in Uvalde. For the kids worldwide who feel the sting of discrimination and hate speech rhetoric (Page, 2023)."

Rothkopf (2023), "It is time for the United States & other like-minded governments to stop subsidizing your ventures. It is time for advertisers to recognize that every dollar they give you to support the site formerly known as Twitter goes to amplify the views of hate-mongers, racists, & despots."

Insightful. I am new to Bluesky & I have never used Twitter. I disliked being on Facebook & Instagram, but I tried my best to use those platforms as a tool to educate and inform (World Economic Forum posts, econ data, etc). Trying to have a meeting of minds, so I should only use words? No gifs ever?
