Every news story is now “State Senator Randy Pervert (R-Springfield) was indicted on 8 counts of lewd behavior with a child under 12 and has been put on paid leave from his two jobs as Border Patrol liaison and youth pastor at First Presbyterian (PCA) where parishioners say they were ‘blindsided.’”
Are you still active on discord with the forced age-verification news? I really don't want to have to give up basically the *one* place online that I socialize these days.
So far, I've gotten mostly '60s and '70s, and there's only one album I'd ever listened to all the way through before signing up.
@krisis.bsky.social a friend of mine told me about this. I'm only 2 weeks into it, but surprisingly, I've kept up with it! 1001albumsgenerator.com
Connor Storrie is who Timmy wishes he could be. I saw someone say that, no matter what role, you can never not see Chalamet acting.
Our last conversation was about Pizza Huts turning into other businesses and Hip Hop, the old Sixers mascot. If any of you knew Dan, you know this was the most quintessential convo I could've had with him. Philly journalism just dimmed a little, permanently. 💙
The Republican leaders of North Carolina's state legislature called everyone back to Raleigh to find a way to rig another US House seat for Donald Trump, but not to pass a state budget, or fund our state's Medicaid system.
Do you get it now? 🤡
Seriously considering turning my phone off for a week. My brain just needs a break and I’m afraid it’ll only happen if I physically don’t have access to the internet.
Season 2, episode 9 of Bones, the one where Bones and Hodgins are buried alive, is one of the best episodes of the whole show, in my opinion. It’s one of the few that I’ve never forgotten since the first time I saw it.
She just informed me it was *21* years.
My closest friend from study abroad is from Perth, Australia. She’s currently standing in front of City U in Hong Kong where we met 20 years almost to the day and sent me a pic.
Of course, I’m crying.
2025 better back the fuck off Dolly Parton.
LEAVE OUR QUEEN ALONE.
This makes me so fucking angry!! The double standard, the hypocrisy, the gaslighting. It’s crazy making.
And some refuse to join other platforms. I hate how fragmented it is and how the vibes are so diametrically different. Like, I wouldn’t post the same here as I do on Threads, and I follow different people on each.
New Brandi Carlile, new The Format, on top of new Lady Gaga and Hayley Williams. And Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus. AND a new Frou Frou single that sounded so much like Heap’s solo stuff.
It’s been a good year of music, for me!
The Format is dropping a new album in January!?!? And a new single today!? open.spotify.com/track/34OEHE...

@krisis.bsky.social have you listened to Mitch Grassi’s new Messer “Cuts” album yet? It has Imogen Heap vibes, so of course I’m all over it.
Hey new Pope, got a request. Figure out a way with y’all’s God to keep this man alive until Jan 21, 2029. He deserves a state funeral not organized by this administration.
"over the last several decades it evolved into a place of reflection, education, and dialogue" no it fucking didn't
The American Fever Dream podcast l had an ad for ChatGPT on this week’s podcast. C’mon, @underthedesknews.bsky.social @samisagesays.bsky.social — y’all are better than that.
I was afraid you’d say something like that! Until further proof, I’m just going to say Flanders did it first! 😄
Forgot to add — Wolf in Waiting was first published in 1995 by Silhouette Shadows. It’s been republished twice, the last time being a bundle of the trilogy.
I’ve perused fictiondb’s Harlequin series lists, but unfortunately, a lot published in the 90s were never republished for ebook. I’ve only found a few prior to WIW, but have only found single first POV with the FMC.
@stegan.bsky.social Coming to you via Fated Mates with a romance history question. I recently read Wolf in Waiting by Rebecca Flanders and was struck by how it’s in *dual* first POV. It’s led me down the rabbit hole of finding the first romance with dual first. Do you happen to know for sure?
The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents.
What the fuck are we doing here?
I've never run a single ChatGPT prompt. Not once, not even to see what it said. I've never generated a single image, either.
And I have no regrets about this. I don't need to do it to know that I don't want to.
Vanessa Riley feeling sad about censorship. I use Canva for a lot of my graphics and sometimes I peek at new features. But this one stopped me cold. Canva flagged one of my historical fiction slides about an upcoming book as “political.” If you don’t think the political climate is affecting art, you are deluded. Art has always been political. Creativity is resistance. Storytelling shapes culture. And now design tools are cautioning us to “be careful.” When platforms label truth or history, Black history as risky, we need to pay attention.

Who needs to go sleep in tents, spends $1000s, and be with too many people when you can just watch all the Gaga content online that you can get your greedy little paws on? The playing chess with her older self was 🔥🔥🔥
