1) do you have access to appropriate safety precautions (masks, air filters, cleaning agents)?
2) do you have some cash on hand?
3) do you have a plan for food if the supply chain is impacted?
4) in a worst case scenario setting, do you have a place to go that is safe?

Black text on a light grey background overlaying a black and white photo of a German crowd performing the Nazi salute, that reads:

"Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or raw political opportunism, or ignorance, or greed.

That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives any more.

They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in doing so, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding?"

Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive govern- ment will want, and then offer themselves with- out being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.

Oof. Good luck. I hope the turkey is cooked to perfection and the pie is delicious, at the very least.

I'm not a decorate-for-the-holidays person, but I really appreciate the artistry of those who do. We're so very fortunate to have a neighbour who dresses their porch so beautifully.

(1/2) October 11 is #NationalComingOutDay. #NationalComingOutDay is about making a world where it is safe to do so. It is about creating a world where coming out will no longer be necessary because queer folks will be inherently accepted.

This show cracked my heart in half every single episode and will *never* not make me sob my eyes out.

Wearing my watermelon sweatshirt today and for the first time since I've had it, someone saw it, made full eye contact, smiled, nodded, then said loudly for everyone to hear, "I like your sweater, thank you for wearing it."

I see you, sir. I love you. #freePalestine β€οΈπŸ–€πŸ€πŸ’š πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ

It's fun how quickly Bluesky has felt like the good parts of Threads, because it was never about the platform it was the community. That's what Mosseri & co. never understood. They need us more than we ever needed them.

Do hashtags work here? Let's find out.

Has anyone DIY vinyl-wrapped your kitchen cabinets with removable vinyl? What brand(s) do you like/recommend?

The kitchen in our rental desperately needs a make-over that we can revert back to the original when we leave (if the landlords hate it). TIA!

Helps me keep my space safe for others. I value that very much, so 🀞🏻 they build the feature here.

Are we all about the pet photos here on Bluesky, or nah?

I hope people are also pressing for mute, remove follower, and hide for everyone. Those features are top freaking tier.

Hiya! I'm a little nobody from 🧡s but maybe some folks know me, and I'm definitely on the lookout for my fave follows. Thanks for starting this, Deirdre!

'Will & Harper' is a beautiful documentary. So vulnerable and nuanced and complex. Harper's bravery and Will's gentleness is both inspiring and healing.

I've always assumed it stemmed from yt people being pale, pasty, and dry and flaky (i.e. unmoisturized). I feel stupid, but appreciate the education.

Hey y'all. Migrating from Threads and trying to figure this platform out. Are we friends from the other place? Hit the follow button and I'll do the same. ❀️
