Never mind…I can see them now, but they took 5 minutes to load.

Wondering why I can’t see any pictures or videos here in the BlueSky threads today. Anyone else?

Hi Helen! It’s Ellen Matheson

Nerdy math humor.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Not to mention short-term rentals companies.

Another day is ending.

I wish you and your family well. I do hope you will work for the resistance wherever you land.

And, fwiw, I am not mad at you because of a choice I made. I am mad at you because your comments are demeaning and smack of white male privilege. Are you really antifascist or are you antifascist when it’s convenient? Good luck finding another country. The creep of fascism is occurring globally.

I have been fighting for women’s rights all my life, and I have a daughter of reproductive age. I read Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale when it was published in the 1980s and it scared the hell out of me. Instead of burying my head in the sand, I became an ardent advocate for women’s health and equality.

Well I do take it personally. This administration will affect EVERYONE in one way or another—and not just Americans. US policies have far-reaching effects around the world.
Furthermore, many of us remain in red states in an effort to protect the vulnerable.

I am not sure I understand what you mean by
“…prop them up by continuing to live under their rule.” Do you suggest that half of the state relocates? How caring and compassionate you are to only be concerned about people in your state. Talk about privilege.

Thank you.

I agree, Phil. Many of us in SC DID vote differently. It may be a bit petty, but I really resent being lumped in with those who repeatedly vote against their own interests…

I live in South Carolina…I suspect we’re next.

13 things everyone should know about Pete Hegseth Secretary of Defense is one of the most complex and consequential positions on earth.

Talk about “stolen valor”. While Pete Hegseth IS a decorated soldier, his conduct regarding women is far less than valorous. His views on what constitutes as rape are medieval and stink of affluenza, and his attitudes towards women in the military are offensive.

Absolutely beautiful! Happy to find and follow you here.

Goodness still exists, it’s just obscured by the foul fog that’s upon us. I’m sorry about your dad. 🌸

The future is female.
The future is now.

Be informed. This is their playbook.
