“Productive member of society” is a guilt-ridden propagandist term that is only quantifiable by those who seek to weaponize the phrase against those they deem lesser or against their aims so wholeheartedly fuck them and tend to your life, loved ones, and community in the way that cultivates YOUR joy

I also read On the Bright Side by Anna Sortino, recently and really enjoyed it.

Another I recently finished was The Last Hope School for Magical Delinquents by Nicki Pau Preto. It was a super fun read, and I'm excited for the sequel.

Picture of my Kobo showing that I finished "The Girl in the Walls" by Meg Eden Kuyatt. I rated it 5 stars. I read it in 1.6 hours with an average of 13 minutes per reading session. I read 5.7 pages per minute.

I just finished The Girl in the Walls by @medenkuyatt.bsky.social and omg. If you're neurodivergent please read her books. It made me feel a LOT. My grandma was taken away to an asylum and was never the same. I wish we could help all the girls in the walls. For now, just be kind, and listen.

Illustrated comic by Yeppenny Doodles of a cute bunny reluctant to rest, and a cat tucking the bunny into a blanket and reminding them that rest isn’t a reward but rather it is part of their progress.

You deserve rest 💙 #art #comics

City of Ghosts is still on Netflix, if y’all need something to watch to remind you the power we have to bring light into the world (it’s about Los Angeles and history and ghosts but not in a scary way). Probably will make you cry, but I’ve been told it’s healthy/ happy tears.

Yes!!! It takes me so long to come up with names cause I always get so invested in making sure it's the absolute perfect thing in sound and meaning

I have friends who have made hobbies out of trolling ChatGPT bots.

Many of them are no longer friends. Some are going to get quite the call-in from me.

I don't care if you're bored: do something else with your time. Also ironic use is still use. Stop willfully being part of the problem.

I started tearing up last night just looking at google maps, because I'm so excited about going to the UK next summer 🥺

Experts say a twice-yearly injection that offers 100% protection against HIV is 'stunning' A study shows that a twice-yearly shot was 100% effective in preventing new HIV infections in women in Africa.

Losing an entire generation of queer men right before mine to a twice yearly shot that offers “100% defense” against HIV is a modern day miracle. apnews.com/article/afri...

Thank you SO MUCH to @justforlaughs.bsky.social for having such incredible talent like Smosh and Dropout come to Montreal. So glad to have made it to the Saturday Dropout Improv! It was such a freaking hilarious show. So much fun 🥰

Thank you for giving me reasons to explore places, @criticalrole.bsky.social 🥺💞

looks like it’s “prime day” so i’ll use this opportunity to tell you that the things you want are probably also on the retailers website, also on sale

It’s apparently Prime Day; Prime day to support your favourite small businesses directly, not through Amazon!

You are cordially invited to our Anti-Prime Sale, where every purchase will financially support bookstores, NOT billionaires 🥳

I was thrilled when I realized just how easy it is to type em and en dashes both on a Mac (my work computer) and a PC (my personal computer).

People who swear em dashes are used only by AI are really admitting that they never learned how and when to use them correctly.

A grey T-shirt laying on a bed, with more clothes visible at the top. The short has two pink flamingos facing each other, the colour of their legs ombres into light blue and the words "flock together" is written under them into the same blue

Going through all my clothes and actually getting rid of stuff from highschool that (obviously) doesn't fit anymore 😔😔

I’m gonna be straight up with you: please buy my game so I can have the funds to move out of this country before it kills me. That’s why I’m pushing so hard! Trying to move my entire trans household out of here and it’s very expensive. If you have the game, please leave us an honest (5words) review?

A blue background image with balloons and confetti Pink text reads "3rd Annual Birthday Salebration!" Beneath that, grey text reads "For the month of July, a different Siren’s Song Games TTRPG will be available for FREE each day! Follow @meghanlynnFTW for daily free TTRPG announcements! #MeghansBirthdaySalebration"

It's my birthday month so you know what that means?
The 3rd Annual #MeghansBirthdaySalebration is back!
Every day in July a different one of my #ttrpgs will be available for free!

I just saw a Goth account praise ICE, and make racist comments about Latinos.

Motherfucker, you are a GOTH. There IS no goth today without Chicanos and Mexicans. They are almost single-handedly keeping it alive. That’s like being antisemitic but building your identity around Manishewitz.

hey I am posting this because I didn't know it, and so others might not either: but the BBB has NOT PASSED YET-- it's passed the senate & now it must pass the house.

It's time to call reps RIGHT NOW. Johnson is going to push the vote ASAP before backlash can form so the calls need to start NOW.

I just did a big shop update if anyone is interested in Sailor Moon cards <3 🌙 sailorastriatrinkets.etsy.com

Opioid pills discovered in US-backed food aid, Gaza authorities say US-Israeli aid distributor the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has been widely condemned for possible complicity in war crimes

Stuffing oxycodone into flour bags to kick off an opioid addiction epidemic is so grossly diabolical

As a queer author, thank you for buying our gay books in response to the challenges and bans and court decisions, but I implore you to go stand up for your public libraries and schools—they’re our greatest advocates, and they’re kind of the main target of this whole effort.

Hey Bsky, I am a journalist looking to speak with US health-care workers (doctors, nurses, specialists) who are moving to Canada. I'm curious to hear what their experience is like getting visas, licensed, moving. Overall easy or bureaucratic nightmare? DMs are open, HMU.
