It’s Not Yet Dark by Simon Fitzmaurice is one of the most uplifting & beautiful, yet utterly gut-wrenching, books I have ever read. It’s a memoir of an amazing & accomplished man who lived fully with ALS & it is also a true love story at its core. #BookSky 📚💙

Thanks. Amsred put me on 3 defamatory lists. A. falsely claims that I’m the 1 w/ deceptive lists, among other unfair insults. I started my lists to help other resistors by listing those who are unfairly blocklisting us. I don’t deserve what A. did & it’s painful when “allies” make our lives worse.

Weekend reading: Night of Miracles by Elizabeth Berg. I just started reading it, but I have loved everything she has ever written, so I’m hopeful. 📚💙 #booksky

Weekend reading: Second Hand by Michael Zadoorian. A quirky and surprisingly touching story about a garage sale fanatic & thrift store owner. I will be reading more from this author. #BookSky 💕

She put me on a block list too. I also already had her blocked from someone else’s block list, which is named (very appropriately!) “Turds.”

Profile of a troll whose BlueSky handle is @becklo.com (from her suspended website hawking her photography and graphic merch). Becky puts people on stupid and incorrect moderation lists, which is how she got appropriately added to someone’s moderation list for “Turds.”

Quotes of the day from the book The Savage God by A. Alvarez. #booksky 📚💙
Picture of page in the book The Savage God by A. Alvarez with 2 quotes: 1). “Life is, in fact, a battle. Evil is insolent and strong; beauty enchanting, but rare; goodness very apt to be weak; folly very apt to be defiant; wickedness to carry the day; imbeciles to be in great places, people of sense in small, and mankind generally unhappy. But the world as it stands is no narrow illusion, no phantasm, no evil dream of the night; we wake up to it, forever and ever; and we can neither forget it nor deny it nor dispense with it.” ~ Henry James 2). “Dieu a tout fait de rien. Mais le rien perce.” ~ Paul Valéry ~ English translation is “God made everything from nothing. But the nothingness pierces through.”

Weekend reading; this is the story of a complex woman who had previously been simplistically pigeonholed into the role of either a victim or a villain in a famous love triangle. #BookSky

They were just guessing. There are news articles about the sign and how it was made. www.pennlive.com/news/2017/03...

I wouldn’t have thought so, but it is very weird that Clearsky shows me listed.

Okayyyy, Grampa, I totally understand that we’re all grumpy right now, but this BS is over-the-top inappropriate, unproductive, hostile, & just plain rude. Unfollowing and blocking. 👋🏻👇🏻
