It’s Pronounced “Vermilion” 💉😷🪧🍉

NYT hed: Trump signs orders punishing those who opposed his 2020 lies. Dek: The president targeted two officials from his first administration and an elite law firm as part of his campaign for retribution

This is one of the clearest headlines I've seen in a while from one of the big media orgs.

These moves are the same kinds of moves Hitler and the Third Reich did in 1930s Germany.

More of this framing is important to fight the Trump state media of Fox/Twitter.

“On February 24, Steven Donovan, 47, arrived at an apartment complex in Orlando carrying a gun while demanding entry. The man claimed he was conducting an immigration investigation and wanted to ensure there were “no Mexicans staying illegally” at the property, according to authorities.”

the old george carlin line “it’s a big club and you ain’t in it” never feels as true as it did when the president manipulated the economy by almost causing a recession, and yukked it up with other rich assholes about how much money they made destroying people’s savings

It was cold, and I wasn’t fast, but I showed up, and I finished. 😁🏃‍♀️🙌

Getting out of work early today to take Rose to the vet. She’s got a little limp, & we’re not sure if she strained something playing with Dahlia, if one of her little lipomas is compressing a nerve, or if it’s another issue entirely. Anyway, I’m anxious for her 🙃🙃🙃

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire

A note reading, “Victoria! Thank you! - Cheru” and a drawing of a little chibi Vox with a box of apple juice.

And I’m obsessed with Apple Juice!Vox 😭❤️🙌 !!!

Dancing Vox keychain by @colonelcheru, some tootsie fruit chews, and a paper $100 bill with Vox and “the United States of VEES” on it, along with a business card, all sat atop blue bubble mailer packaging.

I love him, @colonelcheru.bsky.social !!!

Do not

Do not

Do NOT

Announce or even hint on your social media that you’re doing illegal or potentially illegal things. Even if for excellent reasons.

You will be a target and make the people you aid targets.

this is good and not preachy

Lmao this thought occurred to me last night when I said Facebook as opposed to Meta in a conversation

Like, people I will deadname: None

Stuff I will deadname:
Facebook
Twitter
The Gulf of Mexico
IHOP that week when they were promoting their burgers and tried to make IHOb a thing

alright you wanna know how to support trans people?

hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit.

Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

My dog, Dahlia, in a coat. She is a black lab mix.

My dog, Rose, in a coat. She is a yellow lab mix.

Got all bundled up, but Rose and Dahlia wouldn’t keep their boots on. They only let us get to the corner of the block, and then they made us turn around and go home.

A screencap from the Weather Channel app. The temperature is -8° Fahrenheit. The “feels like” is -36°F. The wind has gusts up to 10 mph. The humidity is at 63%.

It is really, really cold.

Overtime at work. Going to bed early tonight, I think. Between the dentist last night and the general state of things, I slept like 💩.

Going to take some time this week to start looking for everyone from the other apps over here, though, and I will try to be more active here than elsewhere.

The End of the DEI Era As Donald Trump returns to the White House, a newly emboldened anti-DEI bloc has gained powerful allies.

"The New Segregationists" is a more accurate headline.

You could go through nearly this entire article replacing "anti-DEI" with "segregationist," and it would work.

Homogeneity is the opposite of diversity, which is what they aim for.

And yes, Bluesky doesn't allow people to monetize posts here (yet). But professional trolls will take any negative attention they get here and quote about it elsewhere to drum up support for their substacks or whatever.

No attention, just reports and blocks.

Reminder: pls don't quote dunk or respond to professional trolls. They literally monetize any interaction - very happily engaging in online fights for attention, which = money.

So when you respond to them, you're giving them money.

Don't give money to trolls.

Just report and block.

In response to the NYPD asking the public for help identifying the man who assassinated the Healthcare CEO, people are posting letters of rejection received from them for everything from wheelchairs to medications, to life saving surgeries.

The People are speaking.

DOGE, the new office charged with finding government waste, literally cites the GAO…the office charged with finding government waste.

We're living in the worst timeline.

Pertussis - better known as “whooping cough” or “100 day cough” - is no joke. It can be terrifyingly fatal for small children (they just stop breathing without warning). When it’s not fatal, it can mean 100 days of coughing fits so severe that rib fractures are common.

It is vaccine preventable.
