A big misconception about Greenland is that since it’s labeled a Danish colony, its residents are just a bunch of white dudes named Kristian—which is extremely harmful and inaccurate.

The population is 85% Indigenous! It belongs to the Kalaallit people, not to Denmark and CERTAINLY not to the U.S.

The patter of rain on the roof in Los Angeles

Settling the debris in the air, wetting the trees. Mud is a cause for concern, but the wet feels and smells sweet

THE BEAUTIFUL SOUND OF RAIN IN L.A.!! What a joy to hear.
Thinking of all the firefighters getting a good night’s rest. ❤️🙏

Do it!
It's a cesspool of disinformation and hate and you know it.
In three days you'll be through the withdrawal and stop even thinking about it.
And you can be proud of yourself for helping to slow U.S. authoritarianism.

Once Zuck and Jeff declared allegiance to the Dark Side, I pulled the plug on Meta and, as much as possible, on Amazon (whose tentacles have slid into so many parts of my life).

I feel good! Doing the IRL thing, trying to strengthen my frayed brain.

I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because @bsky.app is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat.

I can't say it enough. Bluesky can be the influence that can counter RW media.
No offense, Mark, but you have influence and power most of us don’t. Why don’t you speak up to those in DC you have connections with? Actions speak louder than words as you well know.
