I learned some stuff about Bluesky I did not know by reading this.
Maybe worth passing it on to others so we can all start getting the full benefit of the 🦋.

Comfort rereading DEVIL IN WINTER by Lisa Kleypas and this line of St. Vincent's made me snort-laugh.
"Morality is only for the middle classes, sweet. The lower class can't afford it, and the upper classes have entirely too much leisure time to fill."

Taylor Swift is called capitalist
Ariana Grande is called homewrecker
Amber Heard is called an abuser
They have one common factor: all of them are women
Chris brown is an abuser, drake is a pedo, depp is an abuser but nobody talks about them
Common factor: they're men
Connect the dots now😄

Anti-SLAPP laws make a real difference. Johnny Depp avoided filing his lawsuit against Amber Heard in CA, likely because of CA's stronger anti-SLAPP law than Virginia's then version. An explainer video of the power of anti-SLAPP laws by First Amendment scholar John Oliver:

If anyone’s looking for alternatives to GoodReads, I highly recommend StoryGraph. It’s owned by a black woman, and the platform is so much more accessible and easy to use.

Loads of Americans brag about their "free speech" being freeer than anywhere else.
But the fact that Amber Hears lost the case in the US and won in Brittan tells a different story. (Yes, I don't think she should have lost in either countries.

It's not a coincidence that the same YouTube hate grifters that went after #MeghanMarkIe are the same that went after #AmberHeard, & then #Spoutible and @cbouzy.
It's pursuit of a culture war with made up caricatures for no other reason than to spread hate and rake in donations.

A repeat thought, Bluesky, & a Librarian told you this so it must be true 🤣
Audiobooks definitely count as reading (as well as listening). If you've played through an audioook, its perfectly fine to describe that as "I have read [x]"
All other forms of assistive software count as reading too 💙📚

Has anyone read this?
Now the ACLU is bragging about all the rights they defend. They defend Nazis, but do they defend women and people of color? NO. Read @Mary Anne Franks' book, FEARLESS SPEECH, esp. Ch 2 for a chilling account of how they set up Amber Heard. They don't rate your support, & won't protect YOUR rights.
