You always think it's interesting stuff, and so far you've always been right! 👍 You're one of the most informative people I follow, so go with those instincts and give us all that juicy, juicy context. 😄
Another excellent video from @skepchick.org , with great news for the Trans community, and some truly epic quote from a Federal Judge who is not taking any crap from Trump's DoJ "lawyers". 👍 😄

You take care of yourself.👍
We'll have no 009 moments here. 😛
They're changing everything in that workspace (all government workspaces), and all protecting are evaporating!
It's just weird being over here, where I can't even say "if you need emergency place to stay, there's a room here, & storage space in the garage" - unless she's up for a very long flight.
I know she's on LinkedIn, but I don't think you can do private chats over that. I'm not really active on it.
I've got 2 trans friends that have both made the move to Canada from Midwest, because they felt very unsafe.
I thought Marina's job would shield her, but just realised that it's not safe.
Cheers Rye.
With the turmoil that the moron has created, I just want to make sure she's ok, and knows she's not alone.
This is a very big deal indeed. A *real* competitor for Amazon. And they have my book!

Children of the Stone?
Jackanory (especially the later ones with Rik Mayal & Tony Robinson)?
Blue Peter?
Play School?
Playaway (though this might be known in the US for young Jeremy Irons doing interpretive dance)?
Grange Hill?
@frasergeesin.bsky.social & @danwhite.bsky.social make truly great comics. Some are surreal, some are adventures, all are fantastic.

Fitbit graph showing the total steps taken, 3,753,125, as well as average steps per day, 10,254. For 2024.
Fitbit graph, showing total miles walked, 1739, and daily average miles, 4.75. For 2024.
3,753,125 steps, 1739 miles - not too bad for a shut-in. That's just from walking the dog & the walk to and from school with the kids.
Of course, as an ex-infanteer my brain is looking at that & wanting to know why it isn't the monthly total. ☹️
Respectful send off, & a layered joke in one post. Nicely done.
Oops. My fault for believing the Amazon page, which marked it 3 of 3. Although, now I think about it, that could also mean 3 of 3 presently available...
I'll go stand in the corner for a bit. 😄
You're telling me
that Margo Martindale
and Wayne Knight
were once partners
on a team of character actors who moonlit as private investigators
to supplement film/tv income by busting bad guys with their acting skills
and this has never been adapted into the longest-running show on NBC?
@bsky.app some suggested features.
• having a contacts/following item in the posting context menu. Having to type a guess at usernames is a tedious process.
• Having a 'tag to feed' item in the context menu, so there's no guessing it's in the right feeds.
• Having a save draft button at the top!
Oops, forgot to tag the author... 🤦

3 paperback books, the Pantheon trilogy, by author K.R. Paul, are laid on a Xmas bedspread.
A snapshot of a section of bookshelves. The majority are hardback novels by Terry Pratchett. Laid on top of these (because there's no other space on the shelves) are the Pantheon trilogy by K.R. Paul. None of the books have a consistent spine dress, because graphic artists hate the readers. 😛😄
The trilogy is complete! And pretty fast shipping on the 3rd one considering it's the Xmas season.
Now they have a permanent home on the Pterry shelves of mismatched spine dressings. 😄👍😄👍📖📖
Ah, I thought it was a Fae vibe.
I keep associating Mononoke with struggle & casting off repression. But, I'm digging the "laid-back & chill" approach to the Mononoke aesthetic. 👍
Is your wife is sat on the back of the world's biggest cat? 😄
Also, the leaf and grass/moss work is really, really good. Especially considering it's all fingerpainting. Looking good, mate. 👍
Takwa has endured the unthinkable. She's lost all six of her children, her parents, her siblings, and her nieces and nephews to the Israeli genocide; and she's now pregnant and injured. Please help her out if you can. www.gofundme.com/f/please-hel...
Every day it breaks my heart to know that this level of misery is being inflicted on people, and that it's being done with American tax dollars that could be providing care for sick instead of slaughtering them.
My daughter and son, laid on the grass with our black Labrador.
My amazing children, with our family dog. Blissfully happy on a summer's day.
@bsky.app letting far right trolls run aroundnwith impunity, then getting ready to start a subscription fee...
You don't have to speedrun twitter's destruction! You're supposed to look at their fuckups, & do the *opposite*.
Fastest rise & fall of a social media app isn't a record you want to hold!

It hurts that I have no spare money to give, but I can repost to get their plight out in front of more eyes.
If nothing is done, if the "safety team" don't change their tune and actually block him. Then more and more of these hate-mongers & concern trolls are going to turn this app into twitter part 2 in a very short span of time.
@bsky.app you need to vaccinate yourself before the infection spreads!
For anyone unsure of what I'm referring to, a number of trans & LGBTQ+ accounts have been harassed by Jesse Singal (a proud paedo & general alt-right shit-stirrer). When they brought this up to the supposed "safety team", they've been brushed off with lame excuses as to why nothing can be done.
@bsky.app are you really going to let your "safety team" protect an avowed paedophile - Jesse Signal - whilst allowing the same person to lead attacks on marginalized & vulnerable communities on your site?!
This is the time to show your resolve to stop hatred from gaining a foothold on your app.
It took me ages to realise that it's *not* the hilt of a giant crystal sword slung over her shoulder; it's a blue glowing guy with no face, and his arms crossed.
If this is Larocca's work, he can do so much better. Was it rushed? Did he have a vague brief?
As if Trans people didn't have enough to deal with in prison!
Let's just make their lives immeasurably more horrific! 😡
