I know I'm late but,
I can't believe that human 💩 canceled World AIDs Day in the year I lost someone to AIDs related illness after living HIV+ since 1991.
Sending love to all of you who are HIV+, have loved ones who are, or who've lost someone. We will get back on track with research

I told Ashley Lyle at the Austin Film Fest how much I loved it and she was like, "Oh, you were one of the two who saw it!"
Yes, the Ashley and Bart who created Yellowjackets.

I usually don't critique writers in public but, the fact that the Pantone Color of the Year is white is a little OTN, 2025 team

This is one of those days where I'm so grateful I'm a therapist and I get to witness humans at their most vulnerable doing brave shit.

I just realized one of the things I miss most from the bad place is when @melissaturkington.bsky.social would share news of cinnamon roll or pie creation and delivery. Melissa, you are missed in this Skygeist

I'm just a therapist standing in front of all the podcasters asking you to please not advertise the VC therapy platforms on your show. Talkspace, BetterUp, BetterHelp, they're pretty horrible for us as small biz owners and usually not great for consumers. They're like the Amazon of mental health

I think everyone should stop what they're doing and pick up a copy of @tananarivedue.bsky.social's The Reformatory.
It's brilliant, beautiful, and important. It should be required reading for all US high schoolers. Jim Crow South + magical realism/paranormal horror and magic. I couldn't put it down

Did a food distribution day with the Oakland Ballers today and got to hear some stories of Maybelle Blair, the inspiration for Madonna's character in A League of Their Own. You'll be happy to know that she's 97 and still a firecracker.
Whew, that was the balm my soul needed.

Not a day goes by when I don't thank my lucky stars that my trans friends, some of whom have been in my life for decades, are still here.
Please let's do everything we can to make this a world where trans people can live free.

Home Depot stock fell again. Indeed people are tightening budgets and the interest rates are high but could it be worth mentioning that
PEOPLE ARE TERRIFIED TO GET KIDNAPPED AT HOME DEPOT and the rest of us are angry the store isn't doing more to protect our neighbors?
