Just read that @lyndacarter.bsky.social was an early choice for Captain Janeway on Star Trek Voyager. Would it have had a cloaking device, I wonder?

I don’t care if you’re a relative, a fantasy novelist, or an elected official, transphobia is manufactured outrage and transphobe are trash.

None of America’s problems are cause by trans people. None.

But a LOT are caused by bigots.

This reveals that RFK’s whole “oh you can get a vaccine if you want to, just no mandates” thing is bullshit because he’s going after the vaccines themselves.

Vaccines which, for the record, are one of the keystones to our civilization. Particularly regarding the survival of children.

Friendly FYI for today:

You've seen those things going around that suggest you combine things like the street name you grew up on and your first pet to come up with a name?

Anything that asks you to use details like that are just after your various security questions. It's "phishing," be careful.

Okay, I've been on Bluesky a few days now, and I can honestly say I'm getting the warm fuzzies. It feels inviting and comfortable, and I haven't felt that online in a decent amount of time. Thank you, fellow members. I want to help keep it going!

Apologies for poor cropping, this is an old photo and my time machine seems to have gone missing.

If you have the AUDACITY to play video games on "easy" or "story" mode...

I want you to know that I think that's a perfectly acceptable way to enjoy a video game that you paid for because you're supposed to enjoy your favorite pastime any way you like.

Real life's hard enough. Enjoy your hobby.👍

I'm very new, so I don't know the etiquette on the intros, but... brain blind spots have never stopped me. I'm Thrabalen (Balen for short), I'm a 50 year old gamer, cut my teeth just before the crash of '83. I'm also a stroke survivor, so that's fun.

Can one thing we agree to on Bluesky be that we don’t gratuitously spoil movies and tv shows within hours of release like over there?

Casual reminder: Disabled People cannot flee the country.

We are considered a "drain of resources" on other healthcare systems, so other countries will NOT issue us visas.

The number of "Just flee" posts are increasing again, don't make me tap the goddamn sign.

We stay, and we fight.

I left the Other Site way back when the man-child bought it. I couldn't be there anymore, so I've been adrift, until last night when I finally went ahead and signed up here. What do I find, but Gail Simone made the jump recently too! That timing can't be anything but a portent.
