I’ve started baking when I’m angry and/or frustrated, and so far today I’ve made two trays of scornbread, a batch of blueberry huff-and-puffins, and one I’m about to Snapple pie

I know it won’t happen, but with the danger mango saying he’s going to attend the Super Bowl, I kinda hope all the players just take a knee and refuse to play.

Glad to see some of my friends starting to show up here. Until BlueSky introduces an option for friends-only posts I won’t share personal updates here. I will mostly be reposting information. But I have concerns about the safety of continuing to use a platform run by a tech bro Trump supporter.

Elon Musk is NOT:
- An elected official
- An appointee confirmed by the Senate
- Or even a legit fed
So why the hell has he been given access to fire federal employees, sensitive gov data, and federal payment systems.
He must be stopped.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Among President Trump’s avalanche of Executive Orders is one that halts all funding from our Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

Idk y’all, but if my grandparents were known N*z* sympathizers, the last thing on earth I would do is anything that looked like I was following in their footsteps, up to and including the salute. I sure as heck wouldn’t want to be around folks that acted/ sounded like N*z*s. But that’s just me.

A lot of people think everything will work out if we just play by the rules but don’t seem to recognize that rules only matter when everyone agrees to follow them and, well, that isn’t our present reality.

Most of the time I feel like Luke Skywalker in the trash compactor with the walls closing in but Han, Leia and Chewy are like, "Darth Vader actually has some good points if you listen to him" and C3PO and R2D2 aren't answering because they're vaping and listening to a Joe Rogan podcast about crypto.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.
Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

Having a penis doesn't make you a man
Having a vagina doesn't make you a woman
There are so many complex factors that determine your sex that the term "biological sex" is literally useless
