Liberal political junkie who enjoys fiber arts and painting rocks. Heledd in the SCA (Northshield). Small blue dot in the sea of red that's South Dakota. Old woman who mostly yells at the TV.
No clue why some of the people following me are doing so.

Here goes an introduction attempt:
I'm a lifelong Democrat living in a state that's getting more conservative by the day. My main hobby is SCA which is often rightly described as a hundred hobbies in a trenchcoat. As such my main interests are spinning, cardweaving, cooking, archery and heraldry.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.
They’ve had their necks kneeled on.
They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.
At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

If a phone still works fine, it’s not “device hoarding” to keep using it. It’s common sense.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Every time I listen to Trump, Bessent or Lutnick talk about economic conditions, it is always completely obvious how utterly disconnected they are from the everyday struggles the average American working family is dealing with right now. They simply can’t relate to normal people.

It's the return of the Shitty Camera Challenge!
Take awesome pictures with old or weird (or both) cameras while supporting a good cause!
The Shitty Camera Challenge is one of the first accounts I found when I joined Bluesky and one of the reasons I come back. They also have awesome merch.

If you're trying to convince your friends to spend time on Bluesky rather than X, maybe show them this. X is not "the public town square" or about "free speech." It's "just what Elon Musk wants you to see." If you see stuff he doesn't like he'll step in to make sure you don't see it for long.
If you scroll on X, you are only being shown what Elon wants you to see. If you create content on X, no one will see it unless Elon wants them to.

Were Social Security payments renamed 'Federal Benefit Payments'?
The Social Security Administration has long classified its disbursements as "benefits."

On this eve of fifty Novembers
the winds still howl
the bell still tolls.
My breath turns heavy
as we drift into the long cold night.
The Fitzgerald stirs beneath.
I harbor their echoes
and cradle her steel.
My waves bear the sorrow
of all I have taken.
the winds still howl
the bell still tolls.
My breath turns heavy
as we drift into the long cold night.
The Fitzgerald stirs beneath.
I harbor their echoes
and cradle her steel.
My waves bear the sorrow
of all I have taken.
