Good news: Hate Preacher Calvin Robinson has been kicked out of his current church.

Bad news: Does this mean he will be shipped back to UK? Gah.

My NY resolution was to not have too many library books at once and put myself under pressure. Not going so well. 🤷‍♀️

I am on the other place hanging on by a thread for the US election, Niall Harbinson and this guy, Matt and his Dandy and Spike, SO pleased to find him here.
Hey. So since Twitter is being awful I guess I’ll start posting stuff here too. Likely won’t bring everything up to date, but here is the original video of Dandy finding me.

Sometimes I question myself in this world of misinformation. Results were reassuring :-)

So pleased to read this, being on lists identified, without right of reply or evidence, as a war criminal supporter and follower of bigots and anti-trans has gnawed at me and justified not using my real name. Ngl, it has soured my experience here.
Good things are coming to Bluesky, especially list moderation

I can’t count the number of times I’ve seen people added to toxic lists on Twitter by bad actors, conspiracy theorists, toxic activists, and so on
This is a big quarter for Trust and Safety here, as we work on a large number of improvements.

Here’s a look at our projects in progress, including ban evasion and multi-account detection capabilities, toxicity and spam detection, sending feedback on moderation reports you submit, and more.

Stupidly excited to find what I think is a raptor pellet on my patio. It’s a mixture of bone and feathers and gristle. Could it be? #nature

I remember Laura Loomer when she was in nutso cahoots with the fraudster weirdos Jack Burkman (burk by name, berk by nature) and Jacob Wohl and never in a trillion years did I think that even Trump would give her a minute and here we are.

So pos grifter cosplay vicar Calvin Robinson has left UK to tend a flock of easy marks in Michigan. Getting on the evangelical money train. God help us all.

Bluesky is now complete. Shiv has reposted RICE TRUCK. If you didn't see it first time round, here it is. Actually, best if you read through the thread slowly, as you would have experienced it when it was being live tweeted and all of Twitter (ok, most) was waiting for the next installment....
4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day.

On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day

So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga
