Yeah. Bit daft of me to give that sort of feedback to only some of my heroes on here. I came to bluesky because I wanted to be able to follow the ones with the best insights. For news before it becomes news. For advice without agenda. For keeping me grounded. You are one of those heroes. Thank you.
I owe this same thank you to many of the people I follow. Especially the ones that aren't household names but have their specific niche in keeping me honest to the world and myself; who show me strength in the face of adversity, and humor, however bl(e)ak to keep me from despair. Thank you all.

The "basically, we're fucked" chart every parent has to see and act upon. We can still change outcomes but only if we all become activists and understand we'll have to fight, day jobs be damned, to give our children a chance at a future.

Hopefully it provides some solace to those that love her.

I would write a poem
about what it makes you
if you look Good in the face
and fire your gun
But she was the poet who wrote about making room for wonder
And you are the one who took her words

Amerikaans nieuws valt de laatste tijd eigenlijk uitsluitend tussen bedroevend en razingwekkend maar hier kreeg ik een glimlach op mijn gezicht. Mooi dat dit in het gezicht van de GOP is ontploft.

Out of personal interest I went through this paper for as far as I'm able to as a layman and it looks thorough and could be a real gamechanger for 100s of millions of people with heart disease but I can't judge the quality. Would you please have a glance, @elisabethbik.bsky.social ?

For those who still thought there was a semblance of first amendment left, this and the persecution of Mark Kelly should disabuse you of that notion. Welcome to tyranny.
Umm, what the fuck is going on in Grand Rapids, MI? Did this young woman just get arrested for speaking out about Venezuela? If this is legit we are now fast walking into fascism, we need to get a lot louder than we have been. It’s about to get ugly, y’all‼️

Voor diegenen die nog steeds "vrijheid van meningsuiting" aanhalen om Twatter niet te willen verbieden: haalt dit je misschien over?
Right, and your device caches images on social media.
Which means they are downloaded.
If you are still on X for any reason, *leave now*.
Because the next step is DMing somebody an image and then reporting them to law enforcement.
