Dear Price of Eggs voter,
The melon-hued moron you elected says lowering prices will be too hard, but making Canada our 51st state would be a piece of cake.
Priorities amirite.

Forgive me if this is petty but the next account I’d like to surpass here on Bluesky is CNN.
They helped normalize Trump at every turn and did nothing to help tell the truth about Kamala. Time to show them what we think.
Can you RT this and follow us if you haven’t. 💙🙏

Tesla Cybertrucks are being mistaken for trash dumpsters by raccoons, and they’re getting thrashed as a result. Honest mistake. 🤣

PSA on mental health because I care:
Please please know there is always someone to talk to if you’re ever in a mental health crisis and a dark place. I’ve dealt with depression for 20+ years now and I’m not a medical professional but I care.

I've had a few questions on the differences between a crow and a raven (pictured).
Ravens are generally larger than crows and have a well-developed ruff of feathers on the throat, called 'hackles', while the feathers on the throat of a crow are smooth.

If the government stopped telling people what to do with their bodies, we wouldn’t be here.
Holy shit — vasectomy appointments increased by 1200% after the election.

Replying to Nazis and trolls: “You have no power here”
Blocking Nazis, trolls, and fascists doesn’t make it an “echo chamber.” People need to stop gaslighting us into thinking we have to listen to Nazis and debate trolls in order to be informed.
