Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on.

Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights.
Block, and move on.

This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

I have more love for the family I've made than the one I was born with.

One of the best pieces of advice I ever got regarding "that sort of neighborhood" is that "90 percent of the time the "bad stuff" in a particular place is sh!t you took in there with you."

This show, over both days, was so goddamn good. Em and Leigh did an absolute BANG UP JOB that i will attend anything they do in the future.

ADHD is just one continuous parade of doing your best to keep up with everything and every week you learn you've forgotten to do something crucial

Finishing the #WindyPopWeekender with a chill dance party at #ColesBar. Shades of #DJArpad and the #SovereignSoulDanceParty from days of yore.

I get the same feels from #Humdrum that I got listening to #TheConnells fall '94 in the Shenandoah Valley. So fucking good.

Listening to #HolyPinto at #WindyPopWeekender and honestly they should call themselves "Aural Panty Remover."

Monogamy was such a pleasant way to kick off the show and each band after kept that energy going. It was phenomenal!

A panel from the comic "Transmetropolitan" showing a politician with an unnaturally large and toothy grin.

Pretty sure that Mind Goblins were involved.

A US president, furious about protests essentially clarifying everyone thinks he sucks and responding to it with AI videos of him in a crown flying a fighter jet dumping shit onto American citizens & Nancy Pelosi kneeling to him as a king? Fuck dog, not even satirical Cyberpunk scifi predicted this

Gives credence to that old saying up the hollar: "if you hear something out there calling your name in the middle of the night, no you didn't."

"the Appalachian Mountains are older than trees" is, strangely, only our second favorite fact about them, behind "the Appalachian Mountains are the same range as the Scottish Highlands"

it's charloween! (it/its) @charloh.online · 3d

the Appalachian mountains are older than trees, of course they're cryptid central

This isn't a shitpost btw they genuinely do predate what we now call trees

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”?

anyway that’s why these events are important

Pretty sure that's the same demographic that doesn't wipe its ass because that would be "too gay."

Kinda feel like if you wanna dress by cliche, the old, standards still apply: for a broad, round face like mine, a four-in-hand or a half Windsor usually work better. Full Windsor for thinner folks.

I'm now thinking about how fun an entire weekend of Old Skool Avalon Hill bookshelf games and assorted other Euro-style boardgames would be with a house full of SWers.

gengarro @gengarro.bsky.social · 27d

hiring the SW you're beefing with on social media for a whole weekend - not for sexytimes, but a HoI match to finally settle the argument

There were folks in this demographic in Japan who were all "older folks should handle the Fukushima clean up to spare young folks" for the same reason.

As a middle-aged, cis-gendered, white dude, it is an easy choice FOR ME to go to a protest & be a front-line buffer for more vulnerable folks.

For my partner, it's a better choice for her to hand out support info for vulnerable communities.

One isn't better than the other.

Both are vital.

"Tactical frivolity" is very much a legitimate form of protest.
