Admist Trumps peace talks with Zelensky and Putin, the negotiations including ending Ukraine's bid for Nato membership and ceding territory. News articles call Ukraine returning to its 2014 borders as "unreasonable."

History repeats itself. The word is appeasment. End the war, but not like this.

“Just write and do it. And make mistakes. The hardest part is getting the feedback. So just write a bad screenplay, send it out, and just take the rejection and make the next one better.” Watch the full episode: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rxcl... #WGAWPod

Here for my regular complaints about the oligarchy. I was trying to cancel my broadband today. Need I say more?

I was with TALK TALK PLC (uk) but all these companies are the same. Give me the courtesy to click "cancel" on my service myself. Why should I need to talk to your support team???

This is the simple truth: citizens will always have the power to shape the future of their country.

Trump’s actions are designed to make people feel powerless and overwhelmed. He wants you to tune out—a natural reaction to chaos.

Throwing one out there, not expecting a reply.

@jonronson.bsky.social If you are reading this you have been an inspiration to me for years. You gave a guest lecture at my school in Greeneville, SC. You told us to HUSTLE if we want to be writers. I'll never forget it.

Keep on hustling!

The other day, I discovered a book in the kitchen trash where my Grandma had read it and decided she didn't want it anymore. I wasn't able to rescue THAT book due to the wet coffee grounds I accidentally poured all over it, but another one appeared two days later.

Continued in thread below.

Bravery is not the absence of fear, but the choice to stand despite it. Even the smallest flame can keep the darkness at bay.

Can we appropriate the phrase "alphabet mafia" to refer to the oligarchal megacorpation called "alphabet" instead of disparaging perfectly normal human beings? K thanks bye

Is it bad form to delete 30 plus posts on bsky and reupload them as a substack thread? Or should people just leave the 30 unorganized posts as is?

I'm quite new around here, I never used Twitter, and feed back is wanted

My Fiancé just explained to me what #substack is. You’re telling me I could have posted those thirty *gags* skeets as a single thread. And had the opportunity to revise it? And post it in a coherent way?

Sign me up!

Aaaand I just spent 2 hours staring at my phone. At the end of the day, social media is still social media lol. Time to sleep.

All of the sudden I went from 0 to 29 posts. I can see how this could be addicting. In the future, my posts will be less policitical and much more focus on writing and literature. But when the times call for it, we must all raise our voices to help those who cannot.

I recently had a combination of experiences I will talk about here in a short series of posts that resulted in me making this account and sharing my thoughts. I will detail them out in a short series of NOT tweets. I refuse to call them Skeets for reasons…. Need a better word.

Hi Bluesky,
Kinda feel like I’m shouting into the abyss, but here goes.

I’m a writer who has been on too scared to be public about my own work for a long time. If you’re interested, or care, I am working on new material to share with others soon.

In the meantime watch this space for my thoughts.

Hello World!

Or something like that I like silly traditions like typing hello world on new platforms and when learning new code.
