I am ashamed to admit that, while I have been a consumer and fan of what @thetriibe.com has been doing, I've never been a financial supporter. This article changed that and actually made me come out of my pocket.

I'm so grateful for the work of our local journalists.

i...like writing and making music, that's why i write and make music, and that's how i got good at writing and making music. why is it hard to understand that i don't want a tool to write and make music for me when i derive joy from writing and making music myself?

Yeah, this was in Dallas in the late 90s, but we had 4 armed men come in with real unloaded guns, and take a few of us aside. Said they were here to kill believers, and asked if we were believers. After we all said "Yes", they unmasked themselves as dads from church.

Ok everyone, I’m assigning you your resistance homework for the week.

Everyone ready?

Do something silly that makes you smile. I just waved at a dog that had its head out the car window because it made me happy. Don’t let the assholes take your joy.

If you could take one billionaire's money away, who would it be and why?

You don't get the money. You just get to make them not have it.

They clearly learned a lesson from Baldur's Gate 3, the Official Game Of Genderfluid Pansexuals. Nobody liked that game and it made no money at all because it was too woke.

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!
