How are other trans people handling the military ban, cause my household is under constant stress and fear and I am really pushing the limits of my anti-anxiety meds.

Bwahahaha.

Mar-a-Lago was listed as "Kremlin Headquarters" for a little while on Google Maps.

Church members getting arrested for feeding the homeless or housing immigrants the way Jesus explicitly told them to do:

“President trumps taskforce to eradicate anti-Christian bias will save us!”

Arresting officer: “that name was too long, we’re just called the Antichrist Force now.”

TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS

A graph showing the number of people named Miles born per hour. It has grown exponentially since 1980.

In children per year, the US birth rate is at an all-time low, but in Miles’ per hour it’s at an all time high.

I didn't like that one book y'all liked, and I'm not afraid to say it!

But also I still have people-pleasing issues to work through and I don't want to offend anyone, so never mind.

I probably don't even need to say this, BUT. Me not posting about every nightmarish thing is not because I am not internally (or externally!) screaming multiple times per day, i just figure you heard about it from 100 other people posting about each new nightmare. I assure you, my soul is cracking.

Post from John Perricone 3d • Several years ago l invited a Buddhist monk to speak to my Senior elective class, and quite interestingly, as he entered the room, he didn't say a word (that caught everyone's attention). He just walked to the board and wrote this: "EVERYONE WANTS TO SAVE THE WORLD, BUT NO ONE WANTS TO HELP MOM DO THE DISHES." We all laughed. But then he went on to say this to my students: "Statistically, it's highly unlikely that any of you will ever have the opportunity to run into a burning orphanage and rescue an infant. But, in the smallest gesture of kindness -- a warm smile, holding the door for the person behind you, shoveling the driveway of the elderly person next door -- you have committed an act of immeasurable profundity, because to each of us, our life is our universe."

Been thinking about this a lot (not tagging the sender, for their privacy). Most of us won't have the chance for for grand, capital-R Resistance heroics. But every one of us will have a thousand small choices to make about how to live our lives and where to draw lines. Use them well.

For those saying it wasn't a Nazi salute.

Keep posting it. Keep sharing it.

In hindsight, my coping strategy of “don’t think about it until January” was absolutely genius until it became January.

I’m going to leave this here ALL day Jan. 20 …..🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Anyone have advice for learning Latin? I took a course in college and I’m trying to relearn from my old textbook while also teaching my wife and it’s a bit of a struggle.

Today I was able to cook, clean, play a board game, and solidify ideas for a ttrpg game I wanna run. Productive enough for a day off. Day one of attempting to include hobbies outside of TikTok feels like a success.

Ugh, there’s a typo in my previous post WHY CAN’T WE EDIT POSTS

It’s such an emotional whiplash but I’m not going back on my initial feelings, I need to find ways to spend my time that bring me internal peace.

It did that to me yesterday and after I reopened it a dozen or so times it just said no internet connection.

It doesn’t force close for me now though so I can see my drafts and my posts…

I need to replace the distraction that TikTok enabled. Donald poses a direct threat to my livelihood and the constant fear it causes is soul crushing.

Thank you #Booksky for being so welcoming and helping me find a community here.

Some great info on different Bluesky features for those new here!

I liked TikTok because I got to be who I really am in my heart: a creepy little lurker who watches everything and says little.

😐

I’m feeling down a bit but coming to terms with it and making plans for my newfound free time. The first night was rough but I now know I can get through it.
