Take care of you, first!

USA Curling Just Sold Our Soul - An Open Letter to US Curlers - Community Post USA Curling is trying to sell the soul of our sport. They are ceding control of our governing body to the President’s whims. 

USA Curling announced today that they are caving to the administration's demands and banning trans women from all sanctioned women's competition.

Here is my open letter to the curling community.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Charlie.
His memory is a blessing.

YouTube video by Chris Pureka - Topic Hold Down the Fort (feat. Andrea Gibson)

In all seriousness, this conversation came about (again) yesterday because @chrispureka.bsky.social and @andreagibson.bsky.social - their memory is a blessing - dropped this for Andrea's beloved. And for us.

My partner & love, @archangelzeriel.bsky.social , and I have a perpetual disagreement about sad, melancholy, or just plain heart-breaking music. I think sad music is the BEST music; he thinks someone with my mental health history should listen to happy music.
AITA if I blast Mozart's Requiem today?

I've been very quiet, lately.
When I'm under a lot of stress, I tend to withdraw.
Over the last two months, I have completed a degree program (RN-to-BSN ftw) and immigrated to a new country. Only mildly stressful...

But I am still here. And I'm glad you're here. Take care of yourself today. ❤️

Reposting with gratitude to @hillarymonahan.bsky.social for having the language to express the "ick" I felt about Hereditary, but could never quite articulate.

I still need to see Midsommar.

Block and move on, babe. Block and move on.

OMG 😍

Andrea Gibson, queer poet whose work unflinchingly probed life and mortality, dead at 49 | CBC News Andrea Gibson, a celebrated poet and performance artist who through their verse explored gender identity, politics and their experience with terminal ovarian cancer, died Monday at age 49.

I knew this was going to happen but FUCK it still hurts.

Their memory is a blessing to all of us.

Wanna do a super low effort thing that will actually save trans lives?

Post this flier with this link anywhere you can ❤️🙏

Ticket sales fund @downdivas.bsky.social and we really need the money

I want to be clear: this is what American prisons are like.

I spent years posting about the humanitarian crisis in U.S. prisons. The criminal legal system consigns Americans who are incarcerated to live like this FOR YEARS. DECADES.

A reminder that the Washington Post endorsed confirming Pam Bondi. Support pro-democracy independent media.

Hey hey!
I am officially in Canada. My STUFF is still in the US.

How are you all holding up? I’ve missed you. 🧡

❤️❤️❤️

*taps screen*
Is this thing on?

I really don't care, do U?

(sorry)

There are some handymen (handypeople? Contractors.) here this morning, two of whom are Latino. I want to apologize for not speaking Spanish, and my brain very helpfully came up with the words... in French.

How's your Thursday going?

Ohh, you are in for a treat!

Well done, you!

. . .wait. Is this about the Pope thing?

Thanks 😊❤️

The text reads “Bothered. Deyhyrdated. Feral. In too many lanes. Distracted. Barely surviving. Unhinged.” The image is a close-up of Johnny Depp as Hunter S. Thompson, wearing a a bucket hat and tinted aviator glasses, with a cigarette (in a cigarette holder) between his teeth.

See this? This me right now (except I don’t smoke cigarettes).

Don’t forget to have breakfast. Or in my case, don’t forget that breakfast IS A THING when you plan your food shopping. I could be hydrated. Less feral. Surviving. Hinged.

Good morning, Bluesky. I forgot to eat breakfast, and it is going to take everything I've got to not make it everyone else's problem.

So take better care of yourselves than I do. Coffee is not breakfast; coffee is a component of breakfast.

It's interesting that you choose this, the song, and not Exodus 14: 27-28.
(please note: I'm citing a "new" translation of the Tanak - first published in 1985. Your holy texts may vary).

Damn you, sir.

Friends!
