Attention all weak-kneed Republicans (and Democrats who may have fallen silent):
This is how it's done. This is the way.
You hear the lie and you push back on the lie. Set the tone on Day 1.
You don't cower in fear from the bully - you punch the bully in the face.

Not everyone can fight Trumpism and Trumpists directly. But remember this: kindness, decency, and fidelity to American values are defiance in the face of Trumpism.
So be kind, decent, and faithful, particularly to the many kinds of people despised and attacked by Trumpists. That’s revolutionary./1

Nothing like a gut punch on just pg.6 of the intro:

At a musical, wearing a mask and with a giant purse. Someone looked at me and decided "she looks like the type to potentially be carrying an *extra* mask" and asked me if I did.
I, in fact, DID have an extra mask. 😷
This is the type of reputation I'm happy to cultivate.

In his forced medical retirement, my dad now sends me reels upon reels upon reels - 80% of which is creepy AI bullshit.
How do I gently tell him 1) stop sharing AI content with me and 2) train him to tell what is AI if he doesn't realize that it is?

I ordered two books through a local used bookstore for Xmas. They thanked me for shopping with them, and I admitted I was trying hard to stop buying books from Amazon - and he genuinely looked so grateful. This is what investing in your community looks like, and where I can afford to, I'm going to.

I'm looking for age-appropriate progressive books for an almost 3-year-old that can potentially fly under the radar with their messaging...trying to have a countering influence to their Trumper parents.
Thanks, #BookSky 📚🙏

This was the most profound book I read for my AP US History class...perhaps the most profound in my entire HS experience. Should be required reading for everyone.
Since this book is fairly heavy, I’ve decided to read a chapter a day. Two chapters in and I feel I’ve already learned more than in every American History class I was ever forced to take in grade school.

The one thing not enough people warned me about before getting married is that sometimes you'll go to get a dessert from the fridge - one you've been dreaming about, one that might save a shitty day - only to discover that your spouse ate it and didn't tell you before you went looking for it.

My husband - who has been singing BlueSky's praises for over a year and has been encouraging me to join - doesn't know that I did.
Trying to decide how to mess with him a little before sharing this info.
