BlueSky remains the most Twitter of Twitter platforms right down to "my dumb post made people make fun of me, which means I'm right!" desperation.

Good morning! You feel like you’re going crazy because their attempts to bludgeon you into submission with weaponized unreality aren’t working on you.

Keep it up. You’re doing great.

I had pretty much been non practicing, but in the past few years it’s been invigorating to see what Judaism can be. I didn’t go to temple yesterday but standing on the steps of Borough Hall felt more meaningful.

I talked with a new author the other day and her publisher told her to use social media to bring in readers and this is not a thing!!

Also, they are spending $625 million on this plan. That is TWICE as much as we spend on solar power R&D each year.

Incantation bowl with an Aramaic inscription around a demon, from Nippur, Mesopotamia, 6–7th century It's a bowl with scrawled Aramaic script around the inside and a little image of Lilith right in the middle holding what looks like a tree branch almost like a wand, and her hair is short and blocky, and she looks like a 5yo drew her, she's brilliant, a rectangular nose and big round eyes with dots for pupils that make her look wild. she's also smiling. the most Mona Lisa smile you've ever seen until the actual Mona Lisa. this thing is so great. mother of demons, y'all. actually just read that it cold be the male form of Lilith. either way it's delightful

absolutely lost my shit in the middle of a teams call because while something was discussed i wondered what the early images of Lilith were and i'm sorry but look LOOK en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilith#...
