I have been so encouraged and motivated by so many, including
@jesscraven101.bsky.social's "Chop Wood, Carry Water" advocacy newsletter.

Nearly daily calls and emails to my GOP state and federal reps and senators. I'm never really heard, always receiving a canned response. One state rep replied supporting what I shared (shoutout to Iowa Rep Sean Bagniewski). It's exhausting. But we continue.

I keep thinking of the phrase, "The horrors persist, but so do I."

We’re in the bad place and it’s just going to get badder

i regularly have to remind myself that what i can do is get off my phone, and work within my spheres of influence to make a difference…no matter how small that difference may be

i understand how people chronically online tend to have more anxiety and a general feeling of doom

for some reason i was in a little bubble of no news for a month or so there, and now i’m out of it and i’m scared of what’s happening in the world

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.

if this isn’t a reason to drop that other app idk what is

The clouds colors also shifts with the sunset, starting peach, turning white by midday, pink for sunset, and blues for night. The image is transparent.

Trying to figure out what I’m all gonna post over here on this platform. And who knows, it will probably be more woodworking things. If that’s the case, I may as well post this vase I turned that will likely be used as a centerpiece for @sambedford.bsky.social and I’s wedding

As I've seen some of the newer folks wonder how Bluesky is going to handle verification, let me drop this here: How to use your domain as your Bluesky handle. As you can see, I have done it, and no one else here has access to my domain, so you can tell it's really me.

people who use goodreads: jeff bezos owns goodreads and if you want a better alternative there is a black woman owned company called storygraph that you can use to replace it. you can transfer all of your data from goodreads to storygraph and have your mind be free of trumpie jeff bezos! win win. 💙

Folks please don’t forget to ALT your images! The more new folks show up here the lower the adoption of ALT is and that’s a bummer cause it means not all Bluesky users can enjoy your images!

Here’s how to turn on prompts to remind you to ALT:

i deeply relate to that sentiment. finally got through another year of summer guilt 😂
