Hi Bluesky,

God just needs 17k followers to hit 600k. And then 66k more after that to hit 666k. That will be funny.

Thanks,

God

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

What if *we* romanticized humanitarian missions and cooperation in video games rather than military weaponry and killing and destruction?

My as well complete the poetry:
Beans, beans, the musical fruit,
the more you eat, the more you toot.
The more you toot, the better you feel.
So let's eat beans for every meal.

I survived a cancer scare last year. I didn't survive to see my country turn into a fascist dictatorship. I want to live to see them all held to account.

Tell them why you haven’t voted yet or why you are not voting on Election Day.

They sacrificed and marched so you could vote.

It’s not too late. No excuses. Vote!
