Minor life hack: I never save my credit card on food delivery apps so that I have to REALLY MEAN IT ๐คฃ

I feel like the obvious, easy solution to the faux outrage over trans athletes is to stop segregating sports based on arbitrary physical characteristics. How are "womens' leagues" ethically different from segregating athletes by race? Why is it okay to offer women "separate but equal" opportunities?
I've been occasionally using LLM AI tools as a "rubber duck" to bounce my ideas off of, and it threw me a line today in a chat about ethical investment that I enjoyed: "The market can remain irrational longer than a rational investor can remain solvent"
@normeisen.bsky.social should be on the Supreme Court
I finally uninstalled Amazon Shopping and Facebook from my phone a couple of weeks ago, and it's been great! I've wasted less time scrolling my phone and less money on impulse shopping.
At some point I'll kill off my accounts completely, but for the moment limiting them to use on my laptop is good.
Another successful video/podcast! I feel like we're starting to get the hang of this!
Yeah - for us it's basically serving as an alternative to ordering delivery, so relative to that it's all right. We skip a week every now and then and make our own meals, and doing these recipes helps us feel like we know what we're doing when we're winging it!
Honestly, I just really want to meet the puppygirl hacker polycule. They sound awesome

I wish I'd been able to get more out of K.Dot's performance at the Super Bowl. I'm a fan to the extent that I own Good Kid M.A.A.D City on vinyl, but I had some trouble understanding what he was trying to get across in the half-time performance even with subtitles on.
Hey, it's worthwhile to touch base with anyone in my life who isn't an irredeemable fascist asshole at this point! Thanks for touching base, and we should totally get together sometime!
Nebula has lots of great content - I'm trying to get away from subscribing to YouTube in favor of it. Check out the Alt-Right Playbook from Innuendo Studios, it's fantastic work!

Heya! Did you find me from my Facebook post saying that this is the place to reach me now? Let me know to follow you back!
I need to hurry up and put our #witchy #podcast up on actual podcast services and not just YouTube videos!
I really appreciate just how agitated the former head of #usaid under Bush got when describing how stupid the current administration is being.

Star Trek Tarot: Eight of Cloaks Reversed, Five of Cloaks Reversed, The Wheel of Fortune (Guinan)
The cards channel Guinan's wisdom today: When fascists try to seize power (8 Cloaks Rx), their internal conflicts eventually tear them apart (5 Cloaks Rx). The Wheel of Fortune reminds us that like the Terran Empire, all authoritarian systems ultimately fall. #dailytarot #tarot #tarotsky #startrek
Who else out there has resigned from a job after discovering that their employer supports a criminal #fascist running the country? โ

Today I posted our second video/podcast for @kacklingkoven.bsky.social! It's still nerve-wracking putting this out there, but I'm confident that our videos will only get better as we get more practice at recording and editing!
Just got my new LeaperKim Veteran Patton-S #electricunicycle from eWheels! This is my first attempt to ride it around the back yard - gonna have to take it to the park to practice more tomorrow!
I've only had my InMotion V8S #euc a few months, but with incoming #tariffs I wanted to upgrade now!
My little poly coven and I (from @kacklingkoven.bsky.social) have posted our first YouTube video of random funny conversations! We'll probably turn this into a podcast soon, and have videos coming down the pipe with more-specific topics, tarot deck reviews, crafting, and more!

CyberMagick Tarot: Nine of Sigils, Three of Sigils, Four of Cups
Like a skilled musician joining an ensemble, today's reading speaks of bringing your expertise into collaborative spaces. Just remember to take breaks for self-reflection - it keeps your contribution authentic. #dailytarot #tarot #tarotsky
I think it's a manifestation of the lack of empathy. When you can't even imagine that someone else's mind works differently, all you can do is project your own thoughts and feelings onto them.
The DC Tarot: The Hierophant (Dr. Fate), Seven of Wands, Queen of Pentacles (Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons) Reversed
When the multiverse of family obligations comes calling, even Hippolyta gets overwhelmed (reversed Queen of Pentacles). Dr. Fate's advice? Learn the rules before breaking them. And ignore the haters (Seven of Wands) - you're doing fine. #tarot #tarotsky #witchsky #dc #dccomics
I was mostly worried that he was gonna headbutt the crochet needle and put his eye out!
Fallout Tarot: 6 of Muskets, 8 of Lanterns, Knight of Steel
Sometimes victory means knowing when to leave your comfort zone. The path ahead requires careful planning and direct action. Like leaving Vault 76, the unknown might be daunting, but that's where the real adventure begins! #dailytarot #tarot #tarotsky #fallout
Kitten Tarot: Six of Pentacles Reversed, Page of Pentacles, Nine of Swords Reversed
Like a cat learning to hack their automatic feeder, this spread suggests moving from resource anxiety to systematic problem-solving. Sometimes you have to hit every button (and maybe paw at the power outlet) to combat unfairness! #dailytarot #tarot #tarotsky
Star Trek Tarot: Seven of Starships Reversed, Five of Bat'leths, Ten of Bat'leths Reversed
The cards show a classic Star Trek plot structure: First you get your bearings (Seven of Starships R), then everything goes wrong (Five of Bat'leths), but there's always hope for a resolution (Ten of Bat'leths R). Time to channel your inner Picard! #dailytarot #tarot #tarotsky #startrek
Old Whispers Tarot: Nine of Cups, Five of Swords, The World
From individual wishes (Nine of Cups) through conflict (Five of Swords) to universal completion (The World) - it's the classic hero's journey, but the real final boss was our own competitive nature all along. #dailytarot #tarot #tarotsky
Practicing dismounting and free-mounting my #electricunicycle - this is definitely one of the more difficult parts of learning to ride an #euc!
Riding my #electricunicycle around the neighborhood - only like 20 miles under my belt, so I'm taking it slow and safe!
