Because...same!
Not y’all bringing the cheating scandals on the skyline. I pay HOA fees in this ho and the last thing I want is to see those hoodlums activities in my neighborhood.

Love this!
A #Blacksky safety feature is nicknamed banned_from_tv.
For certain accounts reported to @blacksky.app we block them from even seeing the feed.

Accounts banned from tv see the following when trying to load any of the feeds. This is what the latest main character would see today.

Did you know that by substituting your morning coffee with green tea, you can eliminate up to 93% of what little joy you have left?

Please just block folks. They heard we were having fun over here and they know their existence depends on our attention. Please just block. Don't argue, don't repost, just block and ignore.

The scream I scrumpt at "incredible journey of perseverance". Is this a skit?! 😭
Milagro's attorney Michael Hayden failed the California State Bar exam eight (8) times after graduating from an online, unaccredited law school in four years and four months.

He discussed his "incredible journey of perseverance" on a legal podcast: youtu.be/u2fObjVEl4I

Is me. 🙋🏾‍♀️ love a sleep in. But love a 'free' breakfast buffet more. I might get there at 8:56 but I'll be there!
I personally know people who would never wake up before 9am unless it’s for that free hotel breakfast

Being on bluesky without fighting through a sea of bots and ads made me realize I don’t dislike social media, I disliked not being able to be social on social media

The amount of forex they'd rake in...😭 When I was digital editor at the Nation, the only thing my aunties overseas used to message me about was if the funeral notices section went down. I wasn't even in charge of it! One time it went down for 3 weeks. Diaspora elders gave.me.HELL!
If CBC ever decided to create a channel dedicated to broadcasting funerals that you had to pay for and had a daily programming schedule in the newspaper, I bet that they would make enough money to stabilize NIS

I like this! Makes perfect sense too!
I’ll go first.. I like the idea of calling them flutters since this is a butterfly app and it sounds cute.

Basically. Except I still call Dec 31 Old Year’s Night.
Okay, quick recap:
November 1st-29th is Christmas.
November 30th is Independence Day.
December 1st-25th is Christmas.
December 26th-30th is a black hole where we all forget both day and time.
December 31st is New Year’s Eve.
January 1st is New Year’s.

Questions?
