Lyrics/Vocals by T.J. Phoenix
Left alone
in the waking world
drifting in and out
on a sea
of the absurd
all around us
every day
downcast eyes
lost to despair
looking
away...

If you're trying to convince your friends to spend time on Bluesky rather than X, maybe show them this. X is not "the public town square" or about "free speech." It's "just what Elon Musk wants you to see." If you see stuff he doesn't like he'll step in to make sure you don't see it for long.
If you scroll on X, you are only being shown what Elon wants you to see. If you create content on X, no one will see it unless Elon wants them to.

I’m sorry, clearly I’m naïve… And it’s not supposed to be like this and yes goddamnit I’m crying. I have kids.
I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.
