We can't erase cruelty, bitterness, and callousness from the psyches of those infected with it.
All we can do is
1) be the best, bravest, most astute and generous people we can be,
2) find others like us, and
3) lock arms with them to form a sturdy structure that people can flee to for shelter.

can't stress this enough. Bluesky is both 1. surveilled and 2. unerasable. Do not fedpost on this platform. Keep it to yourself, or if you _must_, then go to an encrypted Signal chat.
Me every time I open anything: don’t fedpost don’t fedpost don’t post it that’s an inside thought

Looking to read more this year? Audiobooks can be a great entryway, and a great way to add even more reading into our lives. And indie bookshops and public libraries both play a huge role in helping folks develop a love for reading 💕

Your local librarian here to say that it’s great if you read lots of books this year, alright if you read barely anything, that audiobooks, romance and graphic novels are all valid formats and genres, and that some authors suck but we’re still not stopping you from reading them.

word has it they’re also planning on suing anyone who didn’t vote for him. what a crybaby.
Unsurprisingly, Trump's hand-picked team has no idea how to take "no" for an answer and thinks it can sue anyone who doesn't go along with their plans.
The Kennedy Center is planning legal action after jazz musician Chuck Redd canceled an annual holiday concert. Redd pulled out after President Trump's name appeared on the building. n.pr/49tB0uS

NASA’s Rocket Engine Fireplace
