the planes yearn for the sea

Just watched the vid, you are a shining light in the darkness, AJ-thank you for being uncompromising in the face of oppression, unflinching at the threat of violence, and unequivocal in your support of marginalized people of all stripes. Stay safe, brother, and remember-YOU ARE making a better world

This is an acceptable definition of a MAN, in case any fascists want to ask the inverse of their tired-ass, predictable, bad faith dog-whistle of a question : @squidtips.bsky.social is a man. A beautiful, complete package of a man.
HAPPY PRIDE Y’ALL!
❤️💛🧡🩵💚💙💜🤍🩶🤎🖤

@dj-peach-cobbler.bsky.social —
is this you?
Are he thee?
Was them us?
Wilt they me?
Were we thou?

True.
“Self Called Nowhere”, “No One Knows My Plan”, “1000 Years Old”, the abstract Jazz ending to “Spy”…it’s a pretty solid album.

“Meet James Ensor” is easily the most underrated TMBG song. 💖

Best kind of ‘if’.
The load bearing kind.

Thank you for turning me on to Connections, it’s quickly become my favorite brain game I’ve played in a while!

@jarvis.bsky.social hope you and yours are safe and sound within the hellscape that is LA right now. 💓💗❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🖤💗💓

Why do cats hate our happiness? Or, at the very least, our piece of mind?

Between the cleaning chemical room of death, to the evidently delicious plastic shopping bags of yummy toxicity, they have the survival instincts of Pandas, sometimes.
Because upsetting hooman is lulz.

PHS Broadcast

Paradise Broadcasting is doing investigative journalism on stories that literally NO ONE else is; including the genocide of the Papua New Guinea people by the Indonesian government. They are like what Vice was, once upon a time, but not morally bankrupt.

I LOVE Shayne Smith’s stand up! He’s so goofy-funny, and criminally self aware.

Makes for good crowd work, but in the “now, I know what you’re literally ALL thinking…and you’re right..but!” way, not the “calling out the drunk heckler in the back” way.

Import your Twitter follows to Bluesky

I imported 24 friends from Twitter to Bluesky

As a soon to be 39 year old, can confirm.

I have an account but am barely on there. My 77 year old mother, on the other hand…yeah.

Yeah, the copium must be outrageously strong, to pull that shit off.
But, the Right has always disbelieved in silly things, like ya know, the concept of Hypocrisy.

Yeah, it’s all very…convenient, for ya know, the ACTUAL antisemites, that disagreeing with the narrative that Netanyahu/IDF spit out to justify war crimes, is now called “antisemitism”, thus diluting the phrase to the point of making it irrelevant. Because the ramifications of THAT won’t bite us.

“Fer myes?!? Yous shouldn’t have! Myes didn’t even know it was myes birfday?! Tahnkyuberrymuchley! (I hopes is grubz, I hopes is grubz, I hopes is grubz!!!)

That’s more understandable than my first instinct; I was going to make a Wanted:Dead or Alive reference for some damn reason.

(Because Bon Jovi, like most things from New Jersey, pops up when you least expect them? 🤷🏽‍♀️)

Ok, cool. Thanks for clarifying.

Hi Leo.
Israel wants to kill all Palestinians, eliminate the possibility of a two state solution, and create an Israeli ethnostate.
They DO NOT care how many civilians, including children, they kill, just want to label them as collateral damage/militants, and continue the job.
You’re welcome.

I’m not sure if your point is that Trump would be ‘better’ in that instance, because I see no such indication that that is the case.
The truth is, America has ALWAYS actively supported and encouraged Israel’s ‘no holds barred’ persecution of Palestinian citizens, as being ‘anti-terrorism’ measures.

…I sat and thought about this for a moment, and was confused.

But then I realized that children who are born hearing impaired would obviously learn ASL before they learn to read, and even after that, they will parse ASL faster than reading, so this makes sense.

That’s actually super cool!

I agree that a direct comparison is difficult to make accurately, due to changes in the reporting demographics of race, age, & C-section frequency, but it’s still an alarming trend, & seems to jump in a single generation.
The demo stats between gen x & millennials can’t be that different, can they?

@daffodil2023.bsky.social thank you for continuing the trend in my seeing a follow notification for Bluesky, and laughing out loud, to then get to respond “Oh, a {adjective} {animal} is following me!”, followed by a tense pause as my coworkers try to decide if I’ve finally lost it.
Cheers!

@monitorlizard.bsky.social I laughed out loud when I saw the notification on my phone that read “A Monitor Lizard is following you.”
My coworkers are now even more confused, because the only answer I gave them when asked was “I’m being followed by a reptilian socialist.”
Cheers!

He looks like he’s trying to come up with a good reason why he’s there.
“Um, oh, hello lady, I wuz just about to goes, see what had happened wuz…um. I’m here to fix the Teevees?”

Well. Fuck. When ya got me, ya got me.

Look. That they can't elect a Speaker is simultaneously a crisis for both America and the world at large, a ploy for those members of the GOP who want the government to fail, and objectively fucking hilarious.

I'm very sorry that all of these are true but they are.
