I love you. You're probably thinking, "You don't even know me." But if people can hate for no reason, I can love. - anon

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

The person who posted the video turned off comments when people started pointing out that it's (not even good) GenAI.

Block people who post misinformation using the planet-killing plagerism program for your own safety.

You don't become an artist who's any good if you don't love the work itself. Even the parts that are a struggle.

What we don't love is the marketing, promo, admin, etc. When you start, you don't think you're signing up to be a wildly underpaid arts admin, but 80% of professional art time is this.

Faine Greenwood @faineg.bsky.social · 3d

there’s this weird idea a lot of people seem to have about how all of us writers and artists must secretly want to use AI and are merely resisting temptation for ethical reasons, and like, no, it’s not hard for me to resist drinking the bowl of Piss With Glass In It actually

The sheer joy of sports BlueSky right now is making me smile. This is what social media is supposed to be.

This has been extremely fun, including you! Because I do know what all of this means so it's a delight to watch the people yelling about the thing and even more so to watch people who have no idea what's going on enjoy watching the people yelling about the thing too 🤣🤣

Sasha 🌈🌵🦕 @indeliblesasha.bsky.social · 2d

I'm so happy for you!!!

Blown away by how good an idea the costumes are. More shareable and fun than pics of a regular protest, and it’s immediately clear that the protestors are non-violent.

there are SO many more inflatable costumes tonight. clearly we have settled on a motif

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.

This is why I think the next Democratic president needs to use the EXACT tools that SCOTUS has handed Trump. Don't leave room for any distinctions.

Impound funds for deportation. Give ICE the USAID treatment. Refuse to collect government-backed debt. Purge MAGA loyalists from the executive branch.

NEW: Colo. AG Phil Weiser (D) isn't optimistic that the Supreme Court will uphold Colorado's ban on conversion therapy for minors. It would be the third SCOTUS loss for Colo. on free speech/religious liberty grounds. I asked Weiser if Colo. is hostile to conservative Christians. #copolitics

First they tried to "cure" gayness. Now they're fixated on "healing" trans people.

Hey friends-

It’s really hard being alive right now for those of us who care about things like humanity, decency, the environment, democracy, etc,

If you are here still fighting for what is right I love u.

None of this is easy. Please take care of yourselves. Logging off sometimes is A-OK.

explain your username:

My therapist agreed with me that I hadn't changed since the death of my son, but I was *different*. (And I couldn't find the words to explain it.)

"You're more *you* than you have ever been."

Indelibly me, even as I grow and adapt. 🤷🏼‍♀️

explain your username:

short version: it’s my author pen name

long version: I was going by the initials “CM” on a message board for writers, because it stood for “Chicken Mafia.” People knew me as CM and then suddenly I needed a real name for human interaction purposes.

explain your username:

I started going by “Miss Kitty Fantastico” online when I started watching Buffy The Vampire Slayer as a teenager, but that was often too longer for a username on a lot of sites, so I shortened it to “misskittyf.” It’s stuck for nearly 20 years now.
