The more I read about that EO (news sites giving little, Reddit providing the most insight into what we will be losing) the more depressed I am. It’s not even 1.5 weeks into his second term and it’s absolutely terrifying. Hoping it awakens class consciousness and a class war against the 1%.

Been busy prepping for when I have surgery with lots and lots of cleaning and not a lot of social media.....

Should get the official a-okay from my lung doctor today to get my surgery and undergo anesthesia. 🤞

Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked."

She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.

I'm so ready for Friday at 4 pm. 🙃🙃

Yesterday my finch app told me to stay off social media. Someone out there was looking out for me. 🤍✨

Planning my active time today from 12-3 where it's 20 degrees and not in the negatives. I thought I left this weather behind when I left Minnesota. Brrrrrrrr.

Getting Thai food with my sister and nephew today. 🤍

If you’re following me and I haven’t followed you back yet I apologize. I’m trying to spend 5 minutes a day on bsky and the rest of time be productive with my free time. @ me and lmk you’re not a b0t.

Once I get surgery and am in recovery I plan on spending a lot of time on here and on my Switch.

Not me being excited AF for the Nintendo Switch 2. And also not so secretly hoping we get a new Animal Crossing. Do I want unalive people in first person shooter games? No. Do I want more freedom to decorate an island and chill with cute animal neighbors? Yes. #Switch2

Being an adult is realizing when it gets cold and dry you need to use a humidifier, take 2x a day hot showers, stick to allergy meds, nasal sprays, and finally suck it up and use a netty pot. Fml. Fck you shitty sinuses and post nasal drip. I feel old AF.

My company is rto 5x a week. So we set up a little snack area to boost morale. Last week they sent an email saying food had to be kept a certain way, no plants allowed, etc. All of our food is in glass jars and I'm bringing in lego plants and building them on company time. Malicious compliance.

This came across my news feed this morning and it seems important to share. Take the time to read it all. 53 days was all Hitler needed to destroy democracy using the constitution in Germany. Let us not repeat history in America.

When your dog thinks it's bedtime at 6 pm you take a shower and get into bed. I don't make the rules around here. She does.

I am in the middle of a reorg to setup hydroponics in my spare bedroom. There's a lot to clean and organize and do I do it in a linear fashion? No I've been doing little mini quests of organization. It's slowly coming together, really slowly. 🤷‍♀️

I didn't download the app for this and not having notifications pop up constantly is really the best thing ever. You mean I can go hours without checking social media and actually get cleaning done? Never installing the app. Ever.

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer.

These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP.

Our SVP just told us a colleague passed away last night.

She honestly was one of my favorite people at work even though we never met face to face. We would chat on video calls and in DMs, she was funny and kind and hardworking. Deeply saddened today. 😭💔

Starving and nauseous at the same time is one of my least favorite combos. 😒

Note to self: Washing your hands for 20 seconds whenever touching things + masking up does nothing when you bite your nails. 🤦‍♀️

Day four of stomach issues. Maybe the push I need to stop this horrible anxious habit. 😭

My bestie @catalyst622.bsky.social made me join Threads. And then she made me join Blue Sky. Basically she tells me where I should go and I do it. She’s good people and definitely worth a follow!!

Sharing here a long thread I just shared on Threads about Zuckerberg. Yes, I encouraged folks to come to Bluesky. Anyway, pull up a chair.

I love my dogs but today I do not like them. MacKinnon has purposefully tipped the water bowl over 3x. One time behind a doggy gate and he reached in and pushed the gate until he could tip it. Rory has decided to bark at me so loudly my Apple Watch is like 'Yo, WTF...' Same, Apple Watch, Same.

X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m.

Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app?

If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

I posted the article about Meta in a response and in a post on Threads. The response mysteriously deleted and the post has zero likes. Pretty sure they are making it less visible on purpose.
