can i be labelled as brusque instead
If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Both love and hate it when my brain starts working overtime during the evening, started brainstorming and sketching out concepts for next year's Hallowe'en decor yesterday; and tonight here I am messing with book covers and amending the SUP website.
Productive? Yes! Relaxing? Of course not!

I've been in something of a reading slump for months now, my TBR pile slowly seeming insurmountable, but I have a good reason as my close-up vision is deteriorating. Should really move to varifocals or something instead of squinting over the top of my existing specs and getting a headache.

Suddenly when puberty blockers are given to cis kids, the Daily Mail (the same newspaper which backed Hitler btw) finally admits that "their effects are not permanent, and once a child lets their blocking treatment lapse, puberty will just continue as normal."
Which is true for trans kids too.

Because it’s cis kids.
The NHS will quite casually give cis kids whatever treatment they need, even PBs👇
No trials. No concerns about side effects. No moral panic.
