Can't we be a little kinder to each other? Even in the face of the current onslaught? #sobersky

Wait @radiofreetom.bsky.social Where were you a DJ? A former DJ has an inquiring mind.

I really don’t like Bill’s argument for God in “We Agnostics.” Lots of straw men. He would have been better sticking with the “contempt prior to investigation” tact. #sobersky

@jeffpearlman.bsky.social I love your TikTok and the OC political account. I loved this week’s Press Box Chronicles on Mark “The Bird” Fidrych. It was tough to hear how he passed. I have another suggestion. Ted Williams. 1/11

@jeffpearlman.bsky.social I’d love to see a Press Box Chronicles on Dale Murphy, my hero of the 80’s Superstation. An all around stud, until one day, all his tools disappeared. 1

Im at The Big E. One of the biggest fall festivals in the US. Inside one of the buildings is an inside, permanent bar. I felt so sad and down seeing that people need to sit at a bar at a festival. But grateful I’m not one of those poor souls anymore. #sobersky

Someone, came into a meeting on Monday wearing this shirt. Yesterday, did those beautiful little children, at that Catholic school have hearts without God? Did the parents who sent their children to a Catholic school have a home without disappoint? Was the school without prayer? #sobersky

It brings me so much joy that my daughters created and added this emoji as my 17 year old son’s permanent avatar in our contact list.

@mollyjongfast.bsky.social I’m on Chapter 4 of How To Lose Your Mother. Our circumstance of upbringing are different, but the mental trauma is the same. I have the audio book and hearing you read it conveys such raw emotion. You need to give yourself more credit. You are a survivor.

The world can seem dark sometimes yet those of us in recovery still can’t drink over it. Let’s shake our tushies over another sober weekend with Peter Allen. #sobersky

To all the people who get off on being rude as fuck for no reason, you are going to meet the right person and I hope they slap the shit out of you.

This story about “Freddie Mercury’s daughter” is BS, right?

I’m sorry to hear about the passing of Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay. Little known fact, Irsay purchased the AA manuscript for $2.4 Million. AA could not accept it because of the value of the gift. #sobersky

@hollybfletcher.bsky.social I am so happy for you! Excellent analysis of the South African ambush today on the Bulwark YouTube feed. I learned a ton.

Why is acceptance so hard in recovery and why do I now think acceptance is a way to look at things the way things are and now how I want them to be and to be present in the moment? #sobersky

I had low hopes for Cory Booker's marathon speech. What was the point? I was wrong. Though the "fight" grabbed headlines, his message of love was what truly resonated. As someone agnostic, I still recognized the profound Christian values he preached.

Is this the “Fisherman’s Friend?”

"Aides tried to avoid defeat by the toilet by setting up a bucket in the cloakroom where Thurmond could pee, keeping one foot on the Senate floor while doing so."
