An old hippie, 70, retired, widowed and hanging on for all I'm worth. I LOVE Sci-Fi, nature photography, my adopted state of Oregon, dogs, dogs, dogs and people too. I'm a progressive liberal atheist humanist and won't apologize for being any of those.✌🏻

DM's. It really should go without saying that here on Bluesky DM's are unacceptable unless invited, solicited or at least one gets permission out in the public space from the account owner before sending a DM.

It's pushy and rude to just DM someone. Don't do it without prior permission.

Agreed?

Mockler: He said he grabbed women because they let him do it. You heard that clip, right? Abuse of power dynamics. Now that he's in office, he's abusing these same power dynamics to cover up the files, delay the releases, redact.

Thank you @timmygibson.bsky.social. Like you I've been on both sides of 'belief' and know how wrong believers are about non-believers.

Ending my belief in god literally changed me into a better human being; more compassionate, empathetic and much less judgemental.

Jeffries: This is the same group of people who raced back to Washington so they could enact the largest cut to Medicaid in American history.

Phang: I call it the big bullshit bill.

Jeffries: You’re a little more direct than what we’ve been politely calling it—but you ain’t wrong. You ain’t wrong.

👇 A friend used to have 'f' themed parties inspired by feminism, instead of birthday parties. Her 'financial literacy' party was superb: women, wine, a qualified financial planner, all the money Q&As we weren't taught.

Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell could not have sold children for sex without rich perverts buying children for sex. I feel like more people should mention that.

Absolutely wild pink nitrogen ribbon aurora burst last night here in Iceland. There was cloud cover, and I was worried the show would stay shrouded. Voila!

The purpley-pink & white ribbons are much closer to us in the atmosphere than standard green arcs, and are fast moving.

Imagine if politicians could never accept a dime in campaign funding from corporations or they and their family were prohibited from ever taking jobs with those affected by legislation before Congress. They might work for us and would have to eke out a living like the rest of us.

Wrong.

The First Amendment protects our right to record law enforcement activity in public — full stop.
DHS says recording or following law enforcement 'sure sounds like obstruction of justice'
Seven federal circuit courts have upheld the First Amendment right to record and monitor the police.

This @peterbakernyt.bsky.social paragraph is a perfect summary of our descent into authoritarianism.

ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.
