I’ll go back to my regular Kelly “Town House Cracker” McGonigal name once Link gets reinstated

Moreover, Link must be reinstated

That of course you zip up all the way, then unzip about 1/4 way down.

Genuinely don’t remember why, but I know when I saw Joey’s name I was like “Oh. I remember YOU.” And that’s never a good thing lol

Also they just had regular whipped cream, not pink, I feel cheated

I see now why you didn’t describe the taste. “It tastes like blue” might actually be the most accurate description.

Was not the best idea to get mine with the spicy snack wrap, but I had a Monopoly prize for a free one 😩

Somewhere out there, Mark Cuban’s ears just rang and he said “Hey, I just got an idea!”

Aha! “Holy shit, where’d all these people come from?!” “Oh right, check Sage’s timeline”

Anyway, hiiii! 👋

Preorder Read This When Things Fall Apart @mskellymhayes.bsky.social · 1d

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

Read This When Things Fall Apart by Kelly Hayes | Pilsen Community Books

A bundle of letters to activists and organizers on the frontlines in catastrophic times from Let This Radicalize You co-author Kelly Hayes In social movements, some heartbreaks are all but inevitable.

This man looks like he's trying to cosplay as Burt Reynolds from Smokey and the Bandit, Sam Rockwell from GalaxyQuest, and Eddie Murphy from Beverly Hills Cop at the same time.

I genuinely cannot express how vital it is that you train yourself to recognize AI-generated images and videos for your own good because none of this is going away and many, many people are counting on you to fall for their shit

Apparently people have been getting their needs fully met from that thread I started as well as the multiple other threads inspired by Link.

If this doesn’t demonstrate Link’s impact and the value of BlueSky as a mutual aid network, I don’t know what can.

Keep it up y’all.

I would expect the amount of ai content especially trying to muddy the waters around government actions like the fake reporter arrest video to accompany any actual video of fascist violence coming online in an effort to discredit it all as ai.

The information war is getting much more serious now.

Look, I've never skeeted about this before but when I was at NYT I was involved in a sexual harassment thing. I was not the person lodging the complaint (nor was I the harasser). I was a corroborating witness let's say. Anyway, NYT did the right thing and fired the harasser.

STOP reskeeting AI slop memes! For now I’m just muting the accounts being reskeeted, but I’m about ready to unfollow anyone who reskeets that shit.

So yeah, y’know, super comfy couch, but if you get one you might have to engage in some light carpentry to make it sturdier 🤷🏻‍♀️

Link Must Be Reinstated @kellysmcgonigal.bsky.social · 1d

Now that we’ve seen how it’s assembled, it seems the wisest course of action to take.

The underside of the couch with the batting peeled back to expose the broken frame. There’s a wedge piece of wood that had been stapled (?!) to the edges, but it broke away.
