What do you wish Bluesky had that is missing from this social media app?
I know many just see it as a Twitter replacement but I'm thinking of those of us who want off the other meta products.
Getting off threads was easy because this app has better in that regard.
But I still use FB & IG...

While Trump is trolling Canada about annexing it, Canadians are in Los Angeles tonight dropping water on the Palisades fire. He’s a disgrace.

Anyone else following Gisèle Pelicot's story? I think everyone should know about it, but it's probably one of the most disturbing stories I've ever read in my life. If you look it up, be warned (SA).

...entertained thinking of how many people's identity is in "not wanting to be like anyone else!" To be the *really different one*.
It's a whole big similar group, and I wonder what if they met each other to know how common their personality trait is! 🫠🙃
Would they feel validated or infuriated?!

So nice being partnered w/ someone I really enjoy talking to & hearing the things on his mind. This is well-written, but he also made an audio version. If you click on the article, there's a link to have him read it to you. Also, he just has a very nice voice, & I ask him to read to me often. Enjoy!
I had a few thoughts about Wicked, so I figured I'd jot them down and share them with the world. Hope you enjoy!
Wicked through and through
Listen to an audio version of this essay. If you had told me twenty years ago in 2004 that three of my favorite musicals at the time would be getting major film adaptations, I'd have been wildly excited. But if you had told me that the most important among Les Misérables, The Phantom of the Opera, and Wicked…

If you would ask me the last thing I would expect to miss about moving, it's an obvious answer: the snow!
If it's going to be cold anyway, it's gotta be white and sparkling. ✨️ ❄️
Normal early December where I live. Snow tires are mandatory by Dec.1

My kids owe me nothing *and* I would never want the type of relationship where they feel like they have to worship me.
You might be a narcissistic parent if you expect total loyalty and adoration and can't hear about your faults as a parent or your kids would fear losing your support.

New Christmas tradition, I did, with both my sister and daughter this year. In honor of my late father, who loved this holiday so much, our tree goes up on his birthday, November 27th. Don't care if American Thanksgiving has happened yet or not.
Do you have any new Christmas traditions?

As a Christian woman, I've never once felt unsafe around trans people. But I have felt unsafe around conservative Christian men countless times.
If it's actually about "protecting women," we are drastically focusing on the wrong group of people.

Who else is going to see the movie version of Wicked this weekend? (I'm going on Monday!) This was my first Broadway musical I ever saw. So I'm nostalgic and can't wait!

Didn't expect my first snowfall this year to be in NY/NJ instead of Canada, but since Trump got elected and put Dr.Oz in his cabinet I know we are clearly in the bizzaro time-line.
