These "Bluesky sucks" articles are baffling to me. I follow a ton of very nerdy comic book & movie accounts, & it's awesome. Yes, there is alot of awful in the world, but I spend my real life dealing with & talking about that. Here, I wanna escape & bond over Jack Kirby comics & Pam Grier.

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

Gabe and Mjolnir need a new home, can you help?

Rowan, their human who has sadly passed, wished for them to remain together.

Will help get them relocated to anywhere within the United States; please read on for more details! 🧵

Musk keeps firing us, and with all this free time, we’re organizing America. They call us “paid protesters”—but seriously, where do we sign up for that paycheck? We’re open to those “Soros bucks.” Every day, we spill the tea, knowing retribution is coming.

By & large, most books are superior to human beings.

New politician test:

“Are trans rights human rights?”

If they answer ANYTHING other than an immediate YES, walk away while saying “I’m not voting for you.”

I used to do this for my English classes in hs and it’s wild how fast you can read with it. It will probably work for you if you prefer subtitles when watching tv

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

I’m sad.

Don't know if this will go anywhere, but happy to have clean power in Indiana.

Hi Booksky 💙📚🪐!
I’m looking to start reading some R. F. Kuang in the near future and was wondering where people think the best place to start is. To me, it seems Yellowface or The Poppy War would probably be best since Babel seems like a more seasoned read but lmk what you think.

Saw this and had to repost. <3 Credit to Marpal Embroidery for the work!

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

I really love how much the people on this site love libraries. ❤️📚

Solarpunk gets a bad rap, but I'm hard pressed to think of another contemporary genre that's actually imagining hopeful futures.

Everything else just seems to assume that Things Will Continue to Get Worse (and frankly, I don't know if I can blame them)

Seeing a Cybertruck in the wild is on par with receiving an unsolicited dick pic.

If the Matt Gaetz report exonerated him, he would not have resigned from Congress to avoid it.

Is it just me or does everyone immediately dislike any cyber truck on the road and its driver

If anyone’s looking for alternatives to GoodReads, I highly recommend StoryGraph. It’s owned by a black woman, and the platform is so much more accessible and easy to use.
