If you need me, tap me on the shoulder. I’ll be happily working all day listening to this on a loop.

BlueSky is a bad site used by good people. That describes most social media sites. But BlueSky is egregiously unethical. Any of you can be disappeared for baseless reasons. I've been on social media for 17 years and never been suspended. BlueSky is the first place to do so – over Johnny Cash lyrics.

Graphic. Text says: “To our LGBTQ+ veterans, especially our trans veterans: We honor, celebrate, and uplift your bravery and patriotism on behalf of our country every single day.” The text is between two sets of three light blue stars. The graphic includes the trans pride flag colors: light blue, pink, and white.

To our LGBTQ+ servicemembers and veterans everywhere: Thank you for your service.

You fought bravely and selflessly for our country and its freedom — even when you had to serve in the shadows.

Earlier today, a mob of Israeli Jewish settlers attacked and assaulted roughly 30 Palestinian villagers and activists, plus about 10 journalists who had gathered during an attempt to harvest olives near a settler outpost in the Israeli-occupied West Bank

What the hell are we doing?

I’m no statistician, but if you buy your first house in your 30s on a 50-year mortgage, and life expectancy is low 80s, isn’t this just called — rent?

It's actually a credit to the strength of our civil society that we're not treating ICE officers the way they're asking to be treated on sight.

Similar to many great athletes, Nancy Pelosi accomplished many amazing things and also stayed in the game way past the time she should have retired.

🧾 Factchecking Trump on '60 Minutes' Mehdi debunks the president's lies, unpacks the failure of our mainstream media, and has the latest from Gaza, as well as Trump's 'Great Gatsby'-esque Halloween party.

"Factchecking Trump on '60 Minutes'"

In today's 'First Draft' morning newsletter from Zeteo, I counted and debunked at least *17 obvious, brazen lies* that the president told CBS's Norah O'Donnell, and that she just let slide:

Retribution is **the only way** forward. There will never be public trust until there are purges up and down the government and the military. Find and prosecute every single one of these domestic terrorists.

This must be the @thedemcoalition.bsky.social message. Liberty and justice for all.

Spotify stock graph showing a decrease of $28 in one day (Friday 10/24), the day after Spotify’s boycott became a trending topic on Bluesky. This is a roughly 5% decrease in value.

Y’all, Spotify’s stock price sunk by 5% in 1 day. YOU did this by spreading the word to boycott them for running ICE ads.

These billionaires only speak one language—money—so let’s keep up the pressure. Tell everyone you know to cancel their Spotify subscriptions. Send them to BoycottSpotify.com.

YouTube video by Reagan Library President Reagan's Radio Address on Free and Fair Trade on April 25, 1987

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

*1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.”

They are running ICE ads.

They aren't the only company, but I think we should make an example out of Spotify and do an economic boycott against companies supporting masked, armed agents terrorizing innocent Americans with impunity.

Spread the word.

Massive ‘No Kings’ rally in D.C. features LGBTQ+ rights advocates: 'This is my country too' Millions of people around the country are participating in "No Kings" rallies voicing their opposition to Donald Trump and his anti-LGBTQ+ administration.

Two transgender leaders spoke to the crowd of more than 100,000 people attending the No Kings rally in DC, telling them, “this is my country too!” to cheers and applause.

This. You are not alone. Go feel it.

Saying Trump deserves the Nobel peace prize for stopping the genocide he was arming & funding in Gaza as he keeps it occupied is like saying a wife-beater deserves a feminism award for agreeing to stop beating his wife to a pulp every night & locking her in the bathroom instead.

Happy Indigenous People Day!

Did you know that Indigenous women go missing and are murdered ten times more than average? They don’t even get a quarter of the attention that a white woman going missing would get. Please keep these women in your mind. Don’t forget them

once again: hire a comms person and save your bitching about the userbase for the group chat

Could also be spider mites. Too late in the grow to treat for them. Your crop should be fine, but you’ll notice the mites will crawl to the top of the stems when you hang the plant to dry/cure and you can remove them then

Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"

I want trans people to be safe. I’m holding you in my heart.
