Hey everyone! As is the migration of social media, I’m looking to build things over here. I see a lot of people have followed me. I’m unsure if they are random or from former sites.
Please let me know if we were friends elsewhere so I can ensure I follow you!

We started the year saying goodbye to a wonderful companion that grew up with each of our kids. Mayhem constantly looked out for and protected them. She was such a sweetheart and always offered a comforting snuggle. She’ll never be replaced in our hearts and memories.

this is no shade to johnna here. but i think it's important to mark a clear difference between writing to a purposefully narrow demo, & writing from an exclusionary lens that does not acknowledge and affirm the validity, goodness, beauty, wholeness, or even existence of every other demographic.

I also want to acknowledge that the target audience of this book seems narrow and purposeful& I’m not opposed to people writing to specific demos. I’d love to know if someone is doing similar peer reviewed research around implications on the LGBTQ+ community re:sex messaging/theology/purity culture

It was so good to be able to join this morning. My day was brighter because of the amazing people there
Deconstruction coffee hour warmed my soul this morning. Life is messy and we show up as we are and there honestly aren’t enough places where we get to do that, but this is one of them. @cortland.me @justingentry.bsky.social @mramler.bsky.social @shansmith.bsky.social @bv-pdx.bsky.social 1/

The more I process about the convo I had with my gaslighting and manipulative mother over Thanksgiving the more baffled I get

i'm not serious on this account very often. but if you don't make it clear that you ride with trans users here, i will seriously campaign for you to be nuclear blocked into oblivion.
if you are not going to stand up for trans people here, given that they are an essential group who built the culture here. then you really don’t deserve to be here.

Not my mom telling me over Thanksgiving I was diagnosed as ADHD in grade school and they never told me and never got me meds because they were scared of the side effects and I got myself diagnosed at 40 years old and appreciate the meds now

Two vital pieces of info b4 Black Friday:
1. Price trackers have proven that Amazon has been slowly hiking prices so they can pretend to slash them on Black Friday/Cyber Monday. There are no actual deals. Just the appearance of them.
2. Amazon workers are on strike

In honor of all the new arrivals, I'm sharing one of my favorite videos.
It shows 24 hours of Earth's rotation, with the camera locked to the sky instead of the ground. We're all hanging out on this spinning rock.

I just realized @flavorflav.bsky.social is on Bluesky because of course he is. My apologies for the misspelling of your name, kind sir 🫶🏼🕐
5) Llived in Vegas, I was cutting thru a gas station parking lot after grabbing In-n-Out and Flava Flav jogged out of the store (timepiece and all). As I stopped to let him cross, he put his hand up and had a genuinely huge, friendly smile on his face as he made eye contact with me and nodded.

The community that we have almost every Tuesday morning in Deconstruction Coffee Hour is next level. Today we cried and listened to poetry and laughed too and swore and talked about Wicked and said all the things. Thank you. ☕️✨
