pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes.

CEOs are trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while they plan on replacing you with a robot.
Unions know better.
Happy Labor Day Weekend.

NEW: ALA is going to court to stop the President’s attempts to illegally dismantle the Institute of Museum & Library Services.

The President does not have the authority to destroy a federal agency. That's why we're taking action with our co-plaintiff @afscme.bsky.social. #ForOurLibraries (1/3)

One of the world’s most chilling ruins is the Ploutonion at Hierapolis, otherwise known as “the Gate to Hell”.

Here crowds once watched priests lead animal sacrifices down into a cave, where they died mysteriously as if dragged down to the underworld. And no one knew how they did it until recently.

Listen to Linda. Note every win. Yes, even small ones. Did you pay that bill? Did you feed yourself? Did you make sure you got enough sleep? If you took care of yourself & other people as well as you could, please pat yourself on the back. Count every win, the resistance ones & the everyday ones 💚👊🏻
Hey: If you made it through the week, and you tried to do some things to help other people — large or small — where you could, and you need to hear it, I’m here to tell you thank you. Get some rest. Figure out today, then figure out tomorrow.

again: "ICE operates by Vampire Rules" is an objectively true and also funny statement
Yes, it is entirely correct to point out that ICE officers do not have any legal authority to break into somebody’s home unless they get a judicial warrant; which they generally cannot do, because judges only issue warrants for probable cause of crimes, not immigration law violations.

My puppy slipped her new harness at a patio restaurant tonight (so hard to find ones that fit her ahhh) but like the beautiful Velcro dog she is, she stayed directly under my legs anyway

You know what’s good about Bluesky? It works the way you would expect. You see stuff from people you follow. Nothing else. Blocking removes people from your experience. Nobody is nudging you toward irritation or combat. It’s just voluntarily chatting with people.
