Ashamed to be an American today. Disgraceful.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Taking a break from my usual bullshit to tell you once again that the best thing you can do to fight back over the next 4 (🫠) years is to vote and get involved in local politics. We've already seen how local governments are providing a wall against mass deportation efforts. Flex your power.

Democrats who want to be relevant and have a future with the party, look at AOC, Jamie Raskin, Jasmine Crockett, Senators Van Hollen and even Murphy right now.

They're the ones calling it out, refusing to bend the knee, and reflecting the righteous anger of America against the broligarchy.

I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because @bsky.app is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat.

I can't say it enough. Bluesky can be the influence that can counter RW media.

The thing that is the most disappointing is how many people won’t have any idea, and just slurp this up like syrup.

This is the GOP’s long con on full display.

how can everything be so dumb and dangerous

I’m so pissed. I really liked Threads for a while there.

If anything can help you wrangle that complexity, though, it’s #OOUX. 💪

Hey there, I’m dusting off this profile.

If you like any of the following things, please give a shout. Maybe we could be friends?

Voting blue, preserving democracy, reading (fantasy), Mike Flanagan, video games (on the Switch), Wisconsin, Agatha All Along, post-divorce badassery, dogs…

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is sitting on his computer, as Green sneaks up on him, laying his chin on the table. Green: One vibe check, please. Blue: Sure. Blue turns back to his computer as Green listens, chin still on the tabletop. Blue: You are loved, you're doing ok, and nobody is mad at you. Green stares ahead of himself while Blue turns to kiss his forehead. Green: Can I also be kissed? Blue: Sure.

Kind of wondering if it’s even possible to go through self-checkout at the grocery store without needing employee assistance at least once. Has it been done?

That particular kind of heavy sadness when someone you dearly love sends you conspiracy theory madness about vaccines causing autism and making people transgender. 😖

you had me at hello

Blazed through ACOTAR in like two days. Not as 🌶️ as I would’ve hoped (based on people losing their collective 💩 on Insta/TikTok), but ordered the next two books anyways. Definitely readable.

Other ones in progress:
- Demon Copperhead (Kingsolver)
- Black River Orchard (Wendig)

Whatcha reading?

A screenshot of a post on Twitter by @drewmackie that shows a hand holding a small green wreath made of weeds. The text says, “This time of the year I like to grab weeds while I’m walking my dog and weave them into wreaths I leave around the neighborhood specifically because there is a women on NextDoor who thinks they are a sign of witchcraft. I encourage you to do the same.”

I like your vibes Drew. I hope you are here in the good place.

In an attempt to keep the universe in balance, here’s me saying that Mike Johnson and his wife are hateful ghouls who don’t know shit. Being gay is fine. You can love whomever the fuck you want. This is being on the right side of history, thank you.

Goofing around with my brother’s ChatGPT subscription, and, just to be random, I asked it: “Give me a pitch for a TV series that @flanaganfilm.bsky.social would direct that's centered around a circus.”

And I’ll be damned if it didn’t come up with something that sounded…plausible. 😳🤔

They made me cut it because the source didn't want to use their name, but a Smithsonian official told me they didn't want these monuments because "museums aren't America's attic for its racist shit."

Bluesky notification reading "Content not available. This content is not available because one of the users involved has blocked the other" and a button reading "Okay"

oh man this rules actually. good feature and a very funny way to describe it. "sorry, they're fighting. probably best to just ignore it"

Nature is so badass. Thank you for the info!

I am so charmed that this is called “Amethyst Deceiver.” 😍

All wrapped in an indignant chorus of “but my FREEDOM!”

But this is definitely all part of Elno’s master plan. Everything is fiiiiine.

Twitter the only place where well articulated sentences still get misinterpreted. You can say "I like pancakes" and somebody will say "So you hate waffles?" No bitch. Dats a whole new sentence. Wtf is you talkin about.

The best way to understand the Israel Palestine divide on social media is pancake/waffles discourse.

You can say "I'm calling for a ceasefire" and someone will say "so you support Hamas murdering innocent Israelis?"

we all thought Twitter’s collapse would be swift and sudden like the fall of the Roman Empire but instead it’s been a steady, irreversible decay like the fall of the Roman Empire

Now I’m just having fun thinking of things to replace “pray tell” with:

- Please DO enlighten me…
- My brothers and sisters in upright walking Christ…
Etc…

I have questions about this metaphor. www.politico.com/live-updates...
