25 years later, and I'm still angry that the system decides "oh your parent makes money so you don't need financial aid"
Can't even imagine how much angrier you must be, when the possibility of funds was dangled but taken 🫩

I know of nothing bad that has ever come from granting rights to rivers, forests, fields, and mountains.

Yet knowledgeable people continue to resist this indigenous instinct that works palpable good.

Marc Edwards @marcedwards.bsky.social · 16h

Imagine rivers with the same rights as corporations?

“When it all comes down to it, the river is my grandfather," said CRIT Councilman Tommy Drennan. "I am made of this river."

Decades removed from when I was Christian, but I'm still vicariously livid on behalf of those doing it right when I read something like this. Why not repent of doing the things explicitly against Jesus's teachings, like mistreating and judging others? 🤨😮‍💨

Meet my newest creation Edith the Moth Phantom! I designed and hand-sewed her. She enjoys singing sea shanties with her cryptid band. They perform primarily for the moon. She also likes appearing to travelers as good or bad omens, depending on her mood.

Here's a lovely photo of my fabric art moth phantom. She's a white moth phantom with a gray face, large twinkly black eyes, and a little frown. She has curly white antennae. There are black and gray oval markings on her wings. There's a beautiful galaxy print fabric in the background.

Here's another lovely pic of Edith. In this one, she's resting on my palm.

Listen. ONE of the reasons I rock with Dolly (Capricorn Gang) is because she’s always proven to me that integrity may cause you pain, but it will never be the reason you suffer. Which is not to say that suffering won’t come, but it’ll never be because you abandoned yourself. That’ll keep you going.

I hear she has supported school bands as well: www.thepinknews.com/2022/10/10/d...

Dolly Parton paid for band uniforms and instruments for kids at majority Black high schools with zero publicity, a writer has revealed.

This Cole character doesn't see that the corollary to "the existence of even one" would ALSO mean that the existence of even one trans person would then mean cis-ness isn't real or inherent either, but I'm sure that argument would melt their brains

Often, I find myself tutting when folks leave a string of comments under a post. But as a fellow person with cptsd, what you're sharing is important.
It is good that we explain about coping with internal Emergency Broadcast Systems to those who haven't lived with it before.

About half way to having done enough tarot readings to pay for this - lemme know if you want me and Mori to pull some seasonal cards for you 🎴✨

I don't qualify for a COVID booster this year due to tightened restrictions but have found a local pharmacy who'll do one privately... for just over £100 🙃

Cheeky little October tarot reading, anyone?

Are you a non-Black person pissed at Bluesky leadership and feeling a little jealous of all the good vibes coming from Blacksky?

There are Blacksky adjacent options for you! Here’s info from the Blacksky migration guide!

docs.blacksky.community/migrating-to...

Screengrab from Blacksky migration guide:

blacksky algorithms

A Warning: Anyone else using a blacksky.app handle will receive a warning at first and then a suspension.

Alternative PDSs for Everyone
Blacksky Algorithms also operates two other
PDSs that are open to anyone:
• myatproto.social - Open to all
• cryptoanarchy.network - Open to all

These servers run on the same infrastructure as blacksky.app and are maintained by the same team, but are available for anyone to use regardless of background.
