I have several heroes
My top 3 are my Ma, my Pop, and Mr. Rogers
All three of them taught me to love other people

@aoc.bsky.social This. Happened.
We're not running out of time, we're out of time; fascism is here
"What are we going to do about it?!", is the only question now

@kathygriffin.bsky.social
Hello,
You may not remember me, until I say this: the last time we "talked" was on twitter
Before I left that platform,
I made a particular point of saying that you were treated unfairly..and you rose like a Phoenix
Still proud of you!!

Everybody, this may or not be a good idea, but I'm saying it: the perect response to a hateful person is the Adam West BatPalm
I'm giving two options. Edit and share if you choose

Okay, so this is getting me right here in my meow-meow
Absolute truth; I speak from experience

Everyone: it's time to regroup
Now that the Department of Education has been gutted, the most important thing you and your kids can do is get library cards
Books are unstoppable; knowledge is power
We need to reclaim ALL of it while we still can

I woke up just now, two hours before my alarm goes off
I went outside, and just sat in my front yard, feeling the sun on me and just listening to all the birds chirping amongst the palm trees
I am calm and centered now

*everyone
Sorry, can't edit posts

Wow. It just happened. Insta told me to choose my words more carefully. Got around it, but dang! It really did come wrapped in the American flag, carrying a cross. Buckle up, everone. This will get worse before it gets better. But it will get better. Hold to Hope. Support each other

Here's the truly beautiful thing about being a Starfleet Non-Commissioned Medical Specialist, and/or a Blue Lantern: The badge, and the ring don't matter. You do. You are the symbol of progress. You are Hope. I believe in you

Non-Commissioned Starfleet Medical Specialist here
The badge doesn't let you go

The most curious thing about my Blue Lantern ring is that every time I take it off before I take a shower, it doesn't give at my knuckle. It takes at least a few seconds. Feels like Hope doesn't want to give up on me. Or anyone

I miss Dolores O'Riordan so very much. I cried that day..and I am listening to, "When You're Gone", right now

I was truly mistaken. I thought I was the last Blue Lantern left, alone. I was wrong. All of us, together, are Beacons of Hope. It's not the ring. It's us; all of us

No matter who you are, where you are, or how you identify, I'm your friend. I love you just the way you are. You're perfect. Keep going. You're beautiful

Here's the thing about The Apartheid Honky (I don't need to say his name)
Everything he's doing to us is directly because his Daddy never loved him. Transphobe Emerald Douche is chasing what he can't buy, claim, or steal: his father's love. I pity him. He never grew up. He's a scared little boy

You know what's more important than anything? Saying, "I love you". Feeling your emotions and wearing your heart openly is true strength and actual power.
I love my friends and family and I'm unafraid to say it.
If you can see this, I love you too, no matter who you are

Wanna get the feels? Post modern jukebox. MMMbop. It's a Doo Wop cover. Trust me

@bearcitygreg.bsky.social Big Bear Hugs and snuggly cuddles to you! You're the bestest Greg ever!!

@radiantpathuu.bsky.social I follow your social media profile, but I have to be honest: I don't have faith. I was raised catholic,I was an altar boy (before you ask the answer is no.) It took decades and readings of multiple translations of the old and new testament, the Quaran, Torah. It's just men

@bearcitygreg.bsky.social Hello there, my friend

If you're seeing this, I have good news: You matter, you're valid, and this planet is better because you are here. You're important, and I like you just the way you are. I want you to keep being you, after all, being you is who you are, and I am your friend

Everyone, it is overwhelming right now. We have lost important people. Much as you and I would just like to get wobbly, weak-kneed and sit it out..We cannot and Will Not!! We are here together, and together is how we win. Together.

Speaking as a cisgendered man, Wrangler cargo pants are the reason I've never needed a purse
(but you know I would totally rock out with a purse)

Kindness is not weakness; it is undeniable strength. I believe in you, Gail

About to get double vaxxed before I start my shift
Jabby-Jabby, Boosty-Boosty!
Vaccines save us all

Looking at my previous post, I'm clearly on a Mr. Rogers focus. I think we need it right now, so I'll start:
I like you just the way are, and I'm glad that you are my neighbor

It's a new year, and very important to bring this with me: everything I know about empathy, kindness and compassion, I learned from my Ma, my Pop, and Mr. Rogers
I had the very best teachers

Anything in media that doesn't pass the Bechdel Test, and the Turing Test, is anethema to Humanity
