A determined looking tabby cat curled up on what appears to be a pile of white bedding, but there is a person underneath. The tabby, Joe, has his fat polydactyl paws folded neatly in front of him and you can tell by his aspect, he won’t be easy to move. #CatsOfBluesky

I wake up with a fair amount of tabby cat on me most mornings. There are worse ways to start the day

An overturned stick is held upright in an autumn forest and covered in mature Splitgill mushrooms, one stacked above the next, each of their gills radiating above the next

I watched every season of Law & Order SVU and I took the LSAT.

I am prepared to lead the Department of Justice 🫡

I’m pretty sure that if some CEO got fired from his job & on his way out he told a mob of crazies to show up with zip ties, flag poles and tasers and to bash in the windows & smear poop on the walls, that he wouldn’t get hired back a few years later, but what the hell do I know.

Jesus was at Walgreen’s again.

i haven't smoked a cigarette or attended church in a long time but man, if the opportunity presented itself and the coast looked clear enough i would absolutely love to smoke in church

I can’t tell you how different it is on X now after so many people have left. I have always followed mostly right-wing accounts because I cover them, and they are running out of people to pick fights with. So they’re just mostly fighting with each other.

in the name of the moon ✨

I've always been baffled by the popularity of Reaction Videos ("Classical Musician Hears Aquatarkus By Emerson Lake And Palmer For The First Time" etc). Whoever imagined there would be such a big audience for 4 minutes of highly performative facial contortions & gurning to a pop music soundtrack

the tiniest bit of post-election good news: my 300-student tiny rural district held a public referendum on accepting a grant from the EPA for an electric bus

it passed!

Vaccines do not cause autism.

Is everybody believing in the servers? If you don't believe in the servers they don't work

Having watched politics unfold on social media for a decade now, I can tell you one of the failures of the left has been relying on a handful of influencers(for lack of a better term) with a million followers instead of building an army of 100k of us to to do the heavy lifting.

me watching Bluesky's user count grow by another million in a day

hello and welcome to all 19M of you! 🥳

Just absorbing the fact that the first order of business in the new QAnon-inflected MAGA Republican era is to demand that Congress bury its report on sex trafficking and drug allegations against a Republican member of Congress who they're trying to promote to higher office.

I don’t even want to think about the smell of that elevator.

A tiny orange capped mushroom (Mirasmoid?) with a dark fuzzy stalk grows from pine and maple leaf duff in a late autumn forest

If you don’t know who Jay Graber is, you will. She’s the woman behind Blue Sky.

Everyone’s talking about it. In just the past week, Bluesky’s user base has exploded, more than doubling to over 16 million as people scramble for an alternative to X, Facebook, and Threads.

Being on this app has severely reduced the “everybody hates you” voice in my head 💕

I will never understand how a billionaire, the richest man on Earth, spent millions to buy an election for ANOTHER billionaire, and told us that his policies would cause all of us non-billionaires “temporary hardship...”

...and the public didn't tell BOTH OF THEM to fuck off.

I feel like we all just picked Bluesky and didn’t even give MILF Messenger a chance

Good morning, Bluesky fam 🇺🇸

I sense a surge in the Force...

Sex offenders in our White House appointing sex offenders as Attorney General should NEVER be normalized.

Never stop calling this out.

I think they might be on to us.

Why do I get the feeling we are going to hold Trump accountable by documenting every broken campaign promise while the people he made the promises to won’t care?

I’ve officially started subconsciously opening blue sky instead of Twitter

I want to thank whoever it was at Bluesky who came up with the idea of Starter Packs. Just brilliant!

I would like to speak up today for the trans community.

You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1
