If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

right. given the numbers, “how to win back the working class” should be as much about care and service workers as hard hats. and yet.

donating food to your local pantry is GREAT and helpful, but money is best imo because we work with vendors/places who are able to give us bulk food and better prices than the average grocery store. if you're debating between giving a pantry canned goods or $20? definitely $20

We gain nothing by exaggerating or lying about reality of the world to ourselves.
Misinformation scares people, and makes it hard for people to prepare and fight back. That's exactly why fascists rely on disinformation and lies so much. We don't need to.

"Americans are reading less" is in the news again, and I'm thinking about the death of cheap mass market paperbacks.
I have books I bought in the 80s with order forms in the back for a huge range of titles: history, politics, economics, lit. All for a dollar or two (under $10 in today's money.)

Ooh, a second mildly famous person has blocked me, how exciting!
It was for pointing out that mocking Trump-ites via homophobic and transphobic jokes is perhaps just a tiny bit not good.

Got the Covid shot and the flu shot today. The process was surprisingly easy--it took maybe 15 minutes as a walk-in at a supermarket pharmacy. (Of course the Covid shot would have been much harder to get if my state hadn't said "Screw RFK Jr, anyone who wants one can get one.")
