Just watched a recent @legaleagle.tv video featuring @lizdye.bsky.social and wondering if it's out of line to ask the community here for leads on resources for going back to school for my JD. My partner and I are both public servants, and I absolutely can't leave my day job. There is a good (1/?)

For any residual Elon Musk fans who were inspired by him back in 2013, and have turned a blind eye because you like Tesla or SpaceX (including several YouTubers), examine his overt support for far right parties, now in at least 3 major economies. Trumpism, Reform (UK), AfD (Germany). Please wake up.

The key takeaway is that the world’s richest man got what he wanted; stripped our cancer funding for kids, killed reforms to bring down drugs prices and caps on investment in China. Trump on the other hand demanded a debt ceiling raise and got nothing.

Given how hectic it's been here since the election, I wrote up my list of personal best practices for keeping my Bluesky experience as safe and garbage-free as I can. YMMV, as always, but I hope it's helpful! gregpak.net/2024/12/20/b...
Bluesky hygiene and safety
In the weeks since the election and in the midst the giant surge of new accounts on Bluesky, I’ve seen multiple people talking about bad vibes on the site due to the questionable online behav…

Trying so hard to express my gratitude for @toriamos.bsky.social in so few characters. At my parents house where the echoes of my foundational traumas mumble in every corner, where your music first let me know I wasn't alone...And fuck, Trump was a gut punch, but Neil? Railroad spike to the heart.
Tori Amos on trauma, Trump and Neil Gaiman: ‘It’s a heartbreaking grief’ | Tori Amos | The Guardian
The musician is back with a live album and as passionate as ever. She discusses fans, failure, muses, misogyny – and why she won’t tolerate bad behaviour

No, dad, for the 237th time, I do NOT want copies of my wedding pictures from my first marriage, since, ya know, I found out later that he's a pedophile.
22 years later and still dealing with the aftermath literally every day. Don't need more reminders.
Fuuuuck. 🤦♀️

New bskyers: one of the first things you should do is give yourself a profile picture. It doesn’t have to be of you, or anything real — just something that says “I cared enough to not let the default stick.”
Also a bio, ideally with your pronouns please.

Friend, if you think it’s going to become any less important to show who you are in the next four years, I’d invite you to imagine a world where you saw nobody being kind when you needed it most.
Do not EVER be afraid to be kind. Accommodating. To speak up against bullying.
The world needs that.

One of my favorite creative minds in the world of #comics and film/TV #adaptations is @nandovmovies.bsky.social who can be found on YT but has even more over on @nebula.tv
I particularly love his pitches to Kevin Feige, who just needs to hire him already! (Except no, because selfish me want nando!)

Just in case anyone is looking for an amazing gift that won't clutter the house and will bring not only entertainment But also plenty of actual education, a subscription to @nebula.tv is the best value out there.
I'm going to try to post about one creator I love each day until the end of the year.
