How to play the games: see the post, reply by quoting the post, copy/paste the text, add your response/picture/GIF then post. Then the next person does the same. That way, everyone gets context. It's like a game of pass it on.

I haven’t heard the boring American guy, but I have to ask why aren’t they using Robert?

Folks gotta figure out what actually hurts the oligarchs. Many people don't understand how unimportant money is to oligarchs compared to power. Musk never cared about losing tons of money on Twitter because the power gained in destroying community and communication was much more valuable.

I entered my third year of it last Sunday! There are a few formerly silent body parts that are suddenly deciding to make themselves known and I am not liking that 😂

Congratulations on being well out of it 👍🏻

Incredible yet I entirely understand. I had quite a protracted recovery from a major surgery late last year and forced myself to do at least an hour of work a day even though I wasn’t supposed to. It pulled my focus away from myself and gave me a goal.

I almost forgot to post this absolutely cursed #Caturday pic.

A wildly stretching C of a cat on a rust-colored ottoman. The cat resembles a furry albino Gumby or a nightmare by Hieronymus Bosch.

She could not care less

In a strange way, the supreme arrogance of the MAGA GOP will be their downfall

They have NO fear of blatantly breaking the law

They can’t see past their noses, so their future is obscured to them

They literally CANNOT see themselves being prosecuted!!!

An own goal…..

Oooh Severance! Such a great show and yes has put an entirely different spin on the whole work/life balance thing! I agree that we have a fundamental need to work. Very well put 👍🏻

Just a memory anniversary. That stupid marriage lasted 10 years and was a complete nightmare. I think I’m more focused on the shock that 35 years has gone by since then!

MsPraxis @mspraxis.bsky.social · 2h

I was thinking about my birthday which was last Sunday and for some reason my brain dredged up the memory that I didn’t want to get married on my birthday so we made it a week later.

It sounds like you have had a membership for a while because that is completely true😂

100% this! I have always sought refuge in work through every trauma and calamity in my adult life. I honestly don’t know how I would cope if I didn’t have work to lose myself in at those times.

Something was nagging me about the date today. Then I finally realised that 35 years ago today was my wedding day. Good lord 😱😖😂
