If you’re new to Bluesky and somewhat politically minded, I created a starter pack to help you get started. It includes women who, among other things, discuss politics. Some news, some commentary, some organizing.

I don’t feel well. I’m in pain. I don’t have a plan to get there or meet a friend there. I don’t have a sign.
None of these count as real problems.

Annual earthquake drill right now. Let this be your reminder to get the MyShake app for short warnings of quakes. A few seconds advance notice is enough to get to a safer spot. #california #earthquake

Reminder to my fellow BayArea friends, make sure you have the @myshakeapp.bsky.social to get #earthquake early warnings. It’s just a few seconds but it’s amazing how fast you move when the alarm goes off.

You know you’re a true Californian when you instinctively go from deep sleep to rolling out of bed to take cover the moment the earthquake alarm sounds.

With all the darkness and deception in the world, at least I know that Facebook has learned their lesson and is fairly compensating me for exposing my personal data. 🙄🙄

Valuable and disgusting at the same time. Insightful breakdown of ICE influencer-style videos.
The Border Patrol El Centro Sector employs five dedicated agents to make what are essentially ICE “fancams” for social media. But they’re not editing in CapCut like most people on TikTok 😳

The solution that saved my sanity from the deluge of political texts was to filter out those from unknown numbers. They still come, but no notifs and they are neatly kept out of the way.
No more replying STOP or marking as junk. Ignore and move on with your day.
Seriously, life changing.

Get rid of all of the “action through sternly-worded letter” politicians. I don’t care how long you’ve served. Stand up and do something or get tf out of the way.
Bring on the young, diverse, courageous action-takers.
