Stranger Things ends with heart, soul, and mind to match viewership Humanist analysis on the finale we needed

I enjoyed the Stranger Things finale so much I had to write a piece about the show. It was on the nose, man! #strangerthings #strangerthingsfinale

Introducing my first novel!
When a playboy rascal is murdered by his wife and goes to Helven, he must decide whether to work to move up to Heaven or stay put & indulge in vices old and new, risking banishment to Hell amidst a battle of wills between God & Jesus... who are at odds as Armageddon looms

I'm sad about Charlie Kirk I’m sad about Charlie Kirk.

Things feel particularly heavy right now, & for whatever reason I feel compelled to try to be a thoughtful and compassionate voice. It’s a little lengthy and written in a way I don’t normally publicly write in, but I hope you’ll give it a read and some thought.
Peace #charliekirk #freepalestine

This Year For His Birthday... (Fiction)

A little fiction for ya:

"This Year For His Birthday..."

Enjoy, let me know what you think

Cory Booker voted to confirm Little Marco - the guy detaining/deporting people for speaking out about a US-funded genocide. Spare me this performative nonsense… and for the love of god quit falling for it

Can’t expect him to arrest himself I guess.

One of the most horrifying domestic stories of my lifetime. Detaining and deporting a man for opposing the slaughter of hundreds of thousands and displacement of millions. Wake up, speak up.

A lawful US resident is detained right now for exercising his First Amendment right to free speech.

It isn’t, but getting mad about them “cozying up” (I think of it as not being adversarial unlike warhawk democrats) is actually a good thing since these two nations are nuclear super powers. “Cozying up” is what the US does to genocidal Israel

Ok? To whatever degree that is true America does not give a single shit about any other country. Look at Gaza. All of this Russia hysteria is always predicated on US good Russia bad. Until we stand for a set of values and solidarity rather than xenophobia good luck creating a better world

I find it concerning that anyone gives a shit about the debunked Russiagate hysteria rather than look at the obvious issues going on in the world (climate, capitalism, inequality, etc)

I don’t like Trump at all but considering these two nations are nuclear superpowers how can you possibly frame this as a bad thing? Yikes

Look out for @butchware.bsky.social man, I’m telling you. I was talking about Bernie for prez in 2013, I’ve got a feeling about this man rising in California for gov and going from there. Guy is legit

What would be a better thing to do in office:

A. Change the name of this body of water

B. Enact policy to address the actual problem

Democrats can’t even hit Trump on brazen ethnic cleansing because they’re the ones who enabled it.

You can’t make a meaningful critique of one party without implicating the other.

How hard is Trump sticking it to wealthy “elites” letting the world’s richest man openly run the government and all? 🔥💯 #Trump #politics

Ta'alu Khaduni (For Hind Rajab) Sam Shain · Anybody Listening? · Song · 2024

RIP Hind Rajab - murdered a year ago today by US-backed Israel along with tens of thousands of other children in this heinous, despicable genocide of Gaza. She was only 6, slaughtered with her family as the med workers were also killed en route to help her.

Well, I am certain MAGA voters aren’t the “informed” ones, but I am also pretty skeptical that voters who opted for the genocidal Democrats are any more “informed”, so I gotta say I just don’t really get the cartoon 🤷🏼‍♂️

What do people generally talk about on here? How to get decent engagement and visibility?

So it’s Twitter but I don’t have to see Elon Mush’s braindead blabber at the top of my feed? Sign me up baby #bluesky
