Phew. Although, I'm sorry for your pain.
(but also grateful it's sports and not... *waves hands around*)
Please tell me this is sports?
Wow. Brood showing up on BlueSky this weekend. I feel required to mention every time that I was in that movie. Fun experience too.
Sitting at the mall wearing my mask and snapping to the air for everything you've said.
I ALSO REALLY WISH that people understood that the work isn't done when 'our people' get into office.
That's when we push harder to get EVERYONE up as far as we can.
I'm sick of us all wallowing on the floor
They're organizing, and I wish to donate to their cause.

I was in that movie! (And I've honestly seen it mentioned more than one time on BlueSky already and that is honestly incredible to me.)
HOLY SHIT.
A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.
Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?
That is a truly clear and comprehensible explanation and I had to stop and tell you how much I appreciate it when I see something so satisfying.
1. Horrifying ruling out of the 4th Circuit.
An all-Republican 4th Circuit panel has just ruled that states can compel trans adults to "appreciate their sex" by enacting care bans.
It even directly says that trans adult care bans are legal in the ruling.
Subscribe to support our journalism.
Within just a few hours of this morning's genocide warning from the Lemkin Institute, the 4th Circuit ruled that trans adults can have our care banned and be forced by any means to "appreciate our sex", and Iowa made it ILLEGAL to protect trans people.

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.
State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.

Exclusive: The Social Security Administration’s internal watchdog is investigating allegations that a former DOGE engineer took sensitive data on a thumb drive and offered it to his current employer.
most of my anger towards dems is they repeatedly invoke this trope and then do not govern, either in majority or minority, as if it was true. whereas i actually often do believe it and believe the responsibility to act like it’s true extends past the first week of november

In announcing new HRT ban for minors, NHS England publishes 10 reviews showing there's little evidence for it. By parsing the question into 10 narrowly-focused reviews they were able to exclude 97% of 547 available studies on HRT, most showing it works.
With a broken Blue Bomber heart, I am no longer the voice of Mega Man.
I was asked to return for Mega Man: Dual Override, but only on the condition I work without the protections of a union contract.
SO much respect for this choice.
Collective action needs people with influence to make the right choices and lead by example.
What you're doing honours the struggle you've all been through.
Very appreciated by those of us trying to support the creative arts and the people who make them.
❗On Friday evening, the CAJ learned that journalist Rachel Gilmore had recently been approached in public by individuals linked to, or implicated in, an investigation she had written, and was published by The Tyee that focused on white nationalists.

My daily mango consumption has become an issue my family has encouraged me to do some research about because it might be insane.
Can't stop, won't stop, and sort of waiting for the inevitable 'this is why you'll die if you keep it up' reply because it's...a LOT.
I'm seriously waiting for your entire population to strike.
What will it take?
don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free
People have lost nuance entirely.
There's also that team thing - "We must be 100% behind you (right or wrong)" that dominates and it's SO WEIRD.
My family always told me to vote for the person who was closest to my goals - and most importantly - someone who would hear and act when I yell at them.
Greetings, new friends! You may know me as an author, a prolific Bluesky poster and 4th place finisher on So You Call That Dancing? But you might not know that my partner Judith (@mzpress) and I have an online arts bookstore that's growing every day. Full inventory here: mzs.press/EVERYTHING-W...
Together we must #BreakTheSiege of Gaza.
The genocide of the Palestinian people is not only still raging but exponentially ramping up, while Zionist & imperialist leaders are trying to make us look away.
There is no ceasefire, there never was...

I went to the Paralympics in 2012. I couldn't stop happy crying. It was so uplifting. In those days, I was fully able bodied (not so much now). So I appreciate the things these athletes can achieve even more now.
I try to keep a low profile but can do that option too. I think it's time.
(The hard part I think is letting go of the hero move when the client I haven't heard from in 10 years asks me if I can 'hack back in' since they didn't follow my user management protocols. And I can and it's awful haha.)
I'm definitely planning to move to Proton (once I have the psychological strength to migrate 25 years of client connections and re-plot workflows and requirements around it)
But yeah, privacy management is our job as users.
I wish privacy / copyright etc wasn't in such a dismal place right now.
IT IS TIME FOR THE WINTER PARALYMPICS!!!!
The Paralympics are the most consistently mind-blowing sporting event on the calendar. I promise you simply reading about how various Paralympic events work will make you say WHAT?!? or HOW?!?!? out loud at least once
I did not know the world's only sportswriter, @rodger.bsky.social, was covering the Paralympics. What a great time to subscribe to his (non-Substack) newsletter!
Oh, didn't realize they also called the collections "distasteful" and "disrespectful" too.
Boy, sure would suck if a bunch of the projects listed suddenly got a lot of extra support or something 😳 that would sure show me!
Would hate if someone found a story that was specific to their taste. 😩💦
