That’s simply not true, either. I’m not sure where you get your info but it’s not from reputable sources.

Nobody was ever really blocked from joining here, that I’ve seen.

I’m watching from Canada. Wishing you all the best with the protests! Don’t let them silence us!!

Age is just a number, because the story will forever be timeless

Absolutely stunning photo. I, too, thought of fire initially… thank god it’s the sunrise

I looked up to you, man… I can’t believe this.

I love how they act like it actually means something. Back when you had to have some form of status, it meant something. Now that any Tom, Dick and Harry can get one (and 99% of the ones that do are rabid Trump supporters), it's absolutely meaningless. It's just the mark of an idiot funding Elon.

Absolutely, thank you 😊 same with you, it’s tough but you’re never ever alone

I wasted so many of my formative years with a constant, crippling fear of hell that robbed me of so many of the experiences everyone around me got to enjoy in life. It reached a point where I simply had to realize it’s as fake as the rest of the religion, though some would absolutely deserve it.

As much as I love Rod Stewart, if he even so much as started to sing that to me when I'm trying to sleep, I'd slap the shit out of him and tell him to shut up lmao
That being said, I'm still hoping to get a ticket to hear him sing that live for me lol

I wake up almost every day thinking I'm going to lose someone in my life that day, whether it's a breakup, a loss of friendship, or a death. It's a level of hell that is pretty much incomparable.

It's so hard to get anything published these days if you're not already an established name. The only solution I can think of is self-publishing with a very clever marketing strategy. I'm trying to work out the right formula for my own fiction, too. I gave up submitting work to others.

And, as a kid who loved R.L. Stine and Stephen King but grew up in a Christian home where such content was heavily limited at every possible opportunity, PLEASE don't stop your kids from reading books they want to read provided it's something they can handle mentally.

I think my ability to separate the two is why I ultimately left. They created this constant war in my head of "there's no way any of this is true, use some common sense" and "if I don't believe in this, I risk going to hell, so maybe it is kinda true." Intelligence won out.

If I'm not with my boyfriend, I'm using my AirPods. If I'm not using my AirPods to pump music into my ears, it's because they're charging lol

It's turning horribly wintry here so it's nice to see some beautiful skies somewhere in the world

I'm all for ending them, actually. End them by proceeding with sentencing and keep that cancerous human ball of grease so far away from society that he loses the mental capacity to even enage in conversation with fellow human beings. The sooner he's lcoked away, the sooner it's over.

Don't quote me but I'm pretty sure I read that Bluesky is set up in such a way that it cannot be bought or sold by Elon Musk or anyone like him. In essence, if what I read is true, Bluesky is set up the way Twitter should've been from day one. This is generally superior to Twitter anyway, though.

I agree with you. I didn't place a lot of value on social media until I ended up living mostly on my own quite a piece away from my home, my family and my friends with limited cell service and next to no internet. It was so isolating. I've since moved back home and left Twitter, it's much better lol
