What an amazing night! I lived in Fairbanks, Alaska until I was 19. Nostalgic, for sure! They must have been unreal up there.
Oddly haven’t seen any pics from Alaska yet. These are near Tacoma.

@bsky.app, I have a suggested fix for the algorithm. When someone clicks into an account to block it, don’t start showing them more accounts of the same nature.
Nothing against furries or furry art, but I don’t care for sexy furry drawings, so I block those accounts. And then see WAY more of them.

We’ve taught these kids that if someone is shooting irrationally, it’s up to them to interpose their bodies between themselves and their shooter because even if they die, it might save someone’s lives.
Of course they’re fucking doing it.

I’ve been delaying getting vaccinated because they knock me on my ass for a few days, and I’ve been too busy. Going on vacation on Thursday, so I got both the flu shot and the Covid vax today. It’s not going to kick in fully, and I feel like SHIT.

I’ve been watching “Daughters of the Cult,” which is about a fundie sect of Mormonism. As a mainstream exmo, I’ve gaslit myself about the possibility of growing up around SO MANY pedos, like it can’t be possible, right?
Those sects are continuing as Mormonism started. Of course it was possible.

I am not a fan of f u r r y art of any kind. Nothing against it, it’s just not for me. I’ve been muting accounts in an effort to see less, but the action of clicking into one to mute it is causing algorithm mayhem. It’s like every third post now. Idk if I keep on and try to mute them all?

A Vote for Democrats is a Vote to continue the Corporate Duopoly that creates Fascism as its Byproduct. No, the Republicans can get as Fascist as they want, they have no opposition party and that is why they can get as Fascist as they want and the Ds' will aid and abet them the entire way

New fear: these people flipping on Trump are getting laughably light slaps on the wrist. I think at least a few years in prison was warranted.
I’m worried they’ll all do this, get probation, Trump will be convicted, and they’ll give him some nothing punishment, and they’ll all get away with it.

Trauma therapy in 2023 feels like trying to heal during the end of the world.
I know people going on healing journeys is crucial to societal change, but what a painful process.
Learning to stop dissociating and actually feeling grief/rage is a doozy. Acknowledging the hidden shit is hard as.
