Question: Do you still like to sent out Christmas cards with gifts? I am considering doing Christmas cards again, don't normally use them because people tend to throw them away. Am I wrong in this or is it still something people like to get?

What's happening, America? I am seeing Threads about your court planning to take away same sex marriage away, but there's nothing on Bluesky about it, which is odd, I thought it would be all over here.

Is it something they are doing?

So do White people in the west just believe it’s okay to resurrect the dead to make them dance and perform for your pleasure?
Is this a cultural difference?
Because where I come from, disturbing the dead usually comes with consequences.
Bad ones.

Ah, so nice when your family member just leaves you on seen after asking a question about something. Have a half of a mind to repeat the question but what's the point.

Shivani's Cosmic Dance -- imagine this except as group dance battles between humans and demons in this world and the next. The bells on Shivani's feet, the demons she's turned into rocks that help give her power when she dances.

White folks refuse to see their own history. They gotta look at atrocities overseas at the measure. BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE HAVE NEVER HAD A MOMENT TO BREATHE IN THIS COUNTRY BECAUSE OF THIS WHITE PEOPLE BULLSHIT.

hey this isn’t about anything in particular but if someone mentions they enjoy something and your first reaction is to tell them how much you hate that something, you’re boring and annoying.

Why was Emmett Till killed?
Because a white woman told a lie.

Why was Black Wall Street burned down?
Because a white woman told a lie.

And why did Kyren Lacy take his own life?
Because a white woman told a lie.

Our society infantilizes white women, so much so that we forget they owned slaves too.

The brand white liberal I can't fucking stand is the person who will say all the right buzz words: anti-racist, pro-LGBTQ+, BLM, and all that. But when you look at their social media posts, they only have white cishet friends. and they don't hire or support marginalized people at all.

Feels like a decade ago seats at cafes were nicer to sit on, still similar seats but it feels different for some reason, can't tell if I was getting older or not. Please #cafes make more comfortable seats for thosew who want to chill, read, write on laptops etc. #writingcommunity
petition for more coffee shops/cafes with comfy seats & at least some level of “you’re welcome to chill here for a while if you’re a customer”

starbucks is just like hard nasty wood now there’s literally nothing comfy anywhere in sight :(

PSA: if you ever need a meal and can't afford one and don't want to jump through these hoops, fund a gurdwara. They are obligated to feed you for free with no strings attached
They're all charlatans. On one occasion I visited a soup kitchen in Albuquerque mini years ago because I was in need. The requirement to enter the food line was to get knee bound and accept Jesus into your heart. I very politely refused to do so, and they told me I should find someplace else to eat.

I don't know if it's just me getting older or not, but does anyone else feel like chairs in cafes just aren't very comfortable anymore? A few cafes I went to this year just didn't have comfortable seating for long periods of writing. (Outside ones being the worst to sit)

I am not sure who writes this show, but I am pretty sure an Indian woman, or any Asians, would not ask "Why is this man barefooted in my house" when most would find it more respectful. Her white husband was right there to say the line but okay.

i'm sick of the narrative that real gamers play intense games like elden ring or multiplayer shooters. real gamers are emulating the PC-98 to play a 40-hour eroge that you've never heard of with the most compelling character writing ever seen in the genre

If you have “a cold” or “the flu” right now, covid is surging in the US. Try to get tested, and if you’re positive, get paxlovid, which can decrease the severity of the acute symptoms and reduce the odds of your getting long covid.

Most importantly, REST. For 2 weeks, minimum. Be kind to yourself.

ON parents please be aware that 'public health' will NOT notify you if there is a confirmed COVID case in your child's classroom. They will not close a classroom if there was a confirmed COVID +ve case either.
'Public health' IS deliberately harming your children by exposing them to COVID in schools

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets.

One very wealthy white man got his job back today (along with his 200 staff and production team) because of organizing, boycotts, and collective pushback.

When will we see that same energy for the 320k+ Black women who were pushed out of the labor market?

White people can move the needle if they want. Y'all got Jimmy Kimmel back on the air boycotting, you can throw some of that expendable income to support the vulnerable through mutual aid, you can make some moves against fascism instead of performatively bemoaning what you think doesn't affect you.
