It’s amazing that vegan animal crackers exist.

Y’all, I just learned there was once a Burger King in Helsinki, Finland that had a sauna in it and WHAT THE FUCK.

Hey, current peds RN and former Christian pastor here! Quick note that this stuff on the actual CDC website (for medical providers, no less) is complete bullshit and that the Christian Nationalists promoting it are neither scientists, Christians, nor representatives of true Jesus-following faith!

Furious at what Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum did to Zelenskyy today. Embarrassed, ashamed…I have no words except for the four-letter variety. I just can’t.

What is keeping people from just printing stuff anyway? Waiting for someone with the stones to print a giant FU to Bezos in his own paper. Make him shut you down.

Mood.

Going on a long trip next month and need some recs for games to play on Switch to pass the travel time. Any suggestions?

Fun Fact: I boo our national anthem too.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

Fun fact: Nazis were Christian Nationalists too.

😅

I might have to start drinking Canadian Whiskey until it gets pulled off our shelves in Alabama. Anybody know of any blue state whiskeys we could get instead?

🙋‍♂️

Hey, Canadian friends! Resident of the Deep South, USA here. Love what BC is doing with liquor sales and just want you to know there are loads of us down here cheering you on. Please know we aren’t all assholes. Looking forward to a time when we can be cool with each other again.

I was blessed enough to have had phenomenal history teachers in college who taught this, one of whom put the following question on a test: “What was the primary reason southern states seceded? A) Slavery. B) Slavery. C) Slavery. D) Slavery.” Note: I went to junior college in Alabama, then U of A.

Wrigley has had enough of this week.

Fun Fact: anytime anybody says “but, um” in any sentence, my brain automatically adds in a “tsss”.

How do you determine why/when you share ignorant and/or stupid things people post on social media? Is it not a better practice to ignore the ignorant in most cases?

Just deleted Facebook, Instagram, and Threads accounts. It’s the little things.

Firing Ange fixes nothing. Just the same problems being kicked farther down the road. #coys

Alrighty, fellow Blueskyelinos. I’m a whiskey lover and I need some recs. I love bourbon (I live in the Deep South) and I also love Irish whiskey and some scotch. I’m looking for a scotch that is still smoky but doesn’t taste like seaweed. Tried Lagavulin and hated it. Any aficionados out there?

If you ever find yourself in Huntsville, Alabama, Straight To Ale is such a solid choice for beer and food! Highly recommend.

Man, two days ago I asked Bluesky for help funding fellow Spurs fans and man did y’all deliver! Beyond grateful! Tottenham fans are the best and the Bluesky community kicks ass. #COYS

Any OKC Thunder fans out there as well???

I’m a Tottenham Hotspur fan living in the Birmingham, Alabama area. Anybody else out there? Need some folks to geek out with!

Might catch some hate for this but whatever. The Wizard of Oz is one of my very favorite movies of all time. I adore it. Started watching Wicked tonight…not for me. Stopped it in the middle and started watching AP Bio (which is funny as shit).

NEW: Women experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position. ⤵️

Seriously considering ditching all other social media except for Bluesky and TikTok. I get more from these spots than anywhere else.

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”
