Maybe I’m just able to find art easier on bsky, but I do have to say I enjoy finding artists (new and ones I followed) on here more than on other platforms. I feel like whatever nightmare algo I was being fed was just not getting me LMAO

i just read something about grief from C.S. Lewis and his book, “A Grief Observed”
basically, when someone you love dies, it isn’t just them that you miss, but the parts of yourself that person brought out of you that can never be brought out again.
i feel that with my dad.

My grandma died a few years ago, & as the holidays come up it makes me think of her. She honestly could be p bad (she was racist in that gross casual way, referring to me as “exotic” to her friends) but she always made holidays feel like holidays. My dad did too. I’m so terrible at it by compare.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

One of my quails managed to pop in such a way that she may have given herself a head injury… I’m so sad. I’m praying she pulls through, but she’s still having trouble standing.

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

@politico.com's @jordainc.bsky.social wrote that @kaine.senate.gov was "breaking with much of his caucus to advance the deal on the floor", which is tripe. 8 D votes were needed. The caucus was unified on the deal. The 8 Ds who voted for it were handpicked by Schumer because they're not up in '26.
Senate advances plan to end historic shutdown in bipartisan breakthrough
The framework lawmakers agreed to Sunday night would not guarantee an extension of the expiring Affordable Care Act tax credits.

There are many pain points for ppl right now… the public suffering is just off the charts. Normies, not involved with politics, are livid and now introduce normal convos with political topics.
If a government is doing its job right it should feel invisible. (Just like IT… iykyk 😔)

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Hey! Thinking about making a little free claw machine game with pixel art from different artists (16x16 or 8x8). Just checking if you'd be interested in contributing? Everyone gets credited, just a fun side project. No pressure! #pixelart

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.
