If mashups count, I have now lost #Whamageddon. But "Every Christmas You Fake" was worth it. This entire Bootie Christmas playlist is banger after banger, tbh.

The fact that they have intolerance set to warn, but rudeness set to hide just shows you their priorities. They would rather you see people say bad things about trans people than bad things to transphobes.
Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.
First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

I am thinking of setting up a new anti-golf party with the slogan "tough on golf, tough on the courses of golf".
The four key policies are:
1. Anyone who plays golf to be banned from public office.
2. All golf courses to be restored to nature.
3. er..
4. That's it.

I did it! I cooked dinner!!!!
You have to understand, we've been married for over 13 years. I am scared of kitchen accidents, especially burns, to the point of phobia. By my count, I've cooked a full meal maybe 10 times in our relationship.
But I made @mbrobergmoffitt.bsky.social bolognese!

@mbrobergmoffitt.bsky.social trying out the focaccia recipe. The dough is really dry, i had to add an extra 1/4 cup or so of water to even get all the flour incorporated, and it certainly wont "pour" after the rise.... that can't be right, right?

Recipient on a non apple phone instead gets a Google maps link to lat/long coordinates, not the address, not apple.

Extending this logic - there are more trans people than there are John Boynes, therefore trans people get to define what human rights all the John Boynes have.

Indicative of this day and age. I applied for a job with the federal government last Nov-ish. Heard nothing.
Today, I got three emails in quick succession-
1. I was deemed eligible
2. My info was forwarded to the hiring manager
3. No selections made for the vacancy
Now what, they repost?
