I didn’t vote Democrat because it was trendy. I voted Democrat because I believe in democracy, women’s rights, LGBTQ+ dignity, and a future where facts still matter.

I’m seeing this creep @fer3200.bsky.social has added a whole bunch of Democrats to his so-called “moderation” list. For following people. That’s not moderation, that’s targeting. Petty, obsessive

Who the hell is @fer3200.bsky.social and why are they adding so many of us to moderation lists? Those lists literally report people just for following others. That’s not moderation, it’s obsession — and on top of that, he’s a bitter homophobe.

Zur Klarstellung: Der Grund, warum @fer3200.bsky.social auf so vielen Listen steht und von Hunderten blockiert wurde, ist, dass er homophob ist. Und ja – er ist immer noch auf Bluesky aktiv.

If respecting democracy upsets you, maybe democracy isn’t the problem.

I’ve seen what happens when women stay quiet. I’ve also seen what happens when we don’t—and I prefer the second one.

At 60, I’ve learned this: empathy is not weakness, and cruelty is not “telling it like it is.”

It’s 2pm here in Michigan. Sun’s out, errands mostly done, and I’m rewarding myself with absolutely nothing productive.

Afternoon thought: loving who you love and being who you are should never be a political debate. 🌈 Period.
