Great work by my friend @kenjenkinsny.bsky.social. More public officials should stand up the way Ken has in Westchester.

I will not be reacting to what The Orange Men have to say about autism. It is ridiculous. At some point you gotta stop repeating your opponent's absurd claims, even if only to refute them, and get back on message.

Autism is a normal occurrence among humans; autistic people are worthy.

I didn’t know Link before his account got suspended, but I’m up to speed on the related post and circumstances.

There are mitigating factors here around communication differences that warrant review of the suspension and reinstitution.

Please consider doing so, @jay.bsky.team and @aaron.bsky.team.

me, a non-religious person (closes eyes): I am praying for Dolly Parton. I would like to put in a prayer for Dolly Parton. Make that lots of prayers. I would like infinity prayers for Dolly Parton. Give Dolly Parton unlimited prayers. All the prayers that have ever existed should go to Dolly Parton.

Transom Bookshop An independent bookshop serving Tarrytown, Sleepy Hollow, and the Hudson Valley, with a wide variety of new gifts, stationery, and books for kids and adults.

10 copies of Devil and Judas Iscariot sold to Transom Books in Tarrytown, NY. I'm feeling like John Grisham!

In the Tarrytown/Sleepy Hollow area for Spooky Season? Why not stop by Transom and pick up a copy! It's a super cute bookstore with a VERY good new edition of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow!

I appreciate all the people showing love and support to me. I’m so grateful honestly. It means a lot. The ban isn’t that big of a deal for me. I think it was wrong and the explanation was bullshit. But that’s ok and I accept. Social media comes and goes. I’m grateful for all the connections I was able to make and all the people I get to be connected with off Bluesky. More importantly, the world needs more people to give a fuck. More people to give a fuck about Palestinians, more people to give a fuck about disabled folks, more people to give a fuck about our queer and trans siblings, more people to give a fuck about Black liberation. The world, and Bluesky, is full of bootlickers who will do anything to avoid doing anything to upset the status quo. These people are cowards groveling to those in power in hopes of protection. I just hope people continue to show love and care and kindness. Mutual aid is so important. Give when you can, boost when you can. We only survive this together.

Hear ye hear ye a message of hope and inspiration from our courageous leader in exile, Link. May all his loyal followers take heart!

taylor swift released the life of a showgirl today and did a bunch of uk press this morning, and it’s also the 25th anniversary of radiohead’s kid a, a clear sign that taylor is signaling a skepticism of the capitalism that alienated her from her own work. in this essay i will

US comedians defend decision to play in Saudi Arabia: β€˜They’re paying me enough to look the other way’ Usual supporters of free speech are under fire for signing on to Riyadh festival despite the government’s human rights abuses

Bring back Gen X’s overwhelming fear of being a sellout. We were right about that.

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

New Cruising Crackdown by Feds at Penn Station Amtrak Police turned a person arrested inside a Penn Station bathroom directly over to ICE.

A crackdown on gay cruising inside the Penn Station bathroom by the federal Amtrak Police has landed one person in ICE custody. Amtrak Police, unlike the NYPD, are not bound by local sanctuary protections. www.thecity.nyc/2025/09/24/a...
