Question
Is anyone else suddenly being followed by a bunch of unsavoury, suspicious accounts?
I'm up to blocking 230, but they keep coming.
This a new experience for me on BlueSky.
How 'bout you?
People with library cards only, please.

Delete one thing forever.
Explain why.
I'd delete misogyny.
Women and girls are murdered, raped, imprisoned, force to have babies, denied an education, by the tens if millions, in every country in the world, because of misogyny.

There is a time for letting go, for shedding old ideas of who we are - and who we might yet become.

Who knew there was such a career as an 'Escaping-Fascism-Doula'?

How to Leave the U.S.A.
In the wake of President Trump’s reëlection, the number of aggrieved Americans seeking a new life abroad appears to be rising. The Netherlands offers one way out.

Carole Cadwalladr and The Nerve are way ahead of other news providers on this.
Think of the grimmest people on the planet you've heard of. Chances are their grubby fingers are in this Blair digital ID pie. Doesn't matter whether it's fundamentally a good idea or not, they're gonna exploit it.

If Keir Starmer's digital ID is the question, Tony Blair is the answer
The government's wildly unpopular new policy is backed by Britain’s wildly unpopular former PM. It’s also a techno-authoritarian’s wet dream, argues Carole Cadwalladr

There is nobody the US government won't seek to destroy.

Nurses are the backbone of our health care system. They deserve respect.
Unfortunately, St. Joseph’s Hospital in Texas has hired union busters to stop nurses from unionizing. Unacceptable.
I stand with these brave nurses in the struggle for justice & against corporate greed.

People showing up for their US citizenship ceremony are now being picked up and imprisoned.
Just when we think the America government can't get more barbaric, they show us they can.

Firing over 100 immigration judges.
Arresting immigrants outside of their immigration hearings.
Pausing asylum decisions.
And now? Cancelling citizenship ceremonies, the final step to becoming a U.S. citizen.
Just remember that Trump never cared about "legal immigration."

Why do people who habitually partner with people from other countries, like Farage and Trump, constantly attack people from other countries?
2 in 3 of Nigel Farage’s current and former partners do not speak English as their first language.

David's terrific pulp fiction cover art got me thinking about Christmas advertising back in earlier times. This ad for Virginia Slims cigarettes is from the 1960's.
What other products were once heavily advertised at Christmas - but either disappeared - or were banned from advertising?

1. I hate to see good people wasting their time and energy. And there’s perhaps no greater waste of time and energy than seeking to change the trajectory of the human population. It’s not just futile, but also a massive distraction from things we CAN change. This thread seeks to explain why. 🧵1/12

I'm starting to share photos of my bookshelves at the rate of one per week. This'll take some time because I've been buying books for more than 60 years, and the rate of purchases has increased over the last 15. Please feel free to ask me questions about any of the books in comments below.
