Hi new followers! 👋

One of the beautiful things about BlueSky was (is?) that you really didn’t have to have a “thing” over here and could pop in and out as you felt.

I joined the other place when I was 27 and eager. I’m 44 now and too tired to redevelop an online personality.

Nothing to pull you out of your yoga practice quicker than noticing the RFK sticker on the water bottle of the woman next to you. The ANGER I feel at that person. Really wanted to ask if she was gonna refill the bottle in the creek though.

“When you walk through San Francisco next week, there will be cops on every corner,” Benioff continued. “That’s how it used to be.”

He's too young to remember, but back in those good old days, SF cops routinely terrorized LGBTQ people for asserting their rights.

Pretty disappointing, Marc.

Also reminded that a year ago was the aurora borealis and we hiked with that friend through the woods to an observation deck & it’s such a special memory

Unexpected grief tonight as we prep for a birthday party we’re hosting tomorrow and realizing we would’ve invited our friend down for it, but instead he went and died 💔

Randomly came across a saved voicemail from our friend who passed and ALL THE FEELS. It ends with “I love you guys so much” so that’s going to be saved forever and ever.

Wait, I just noticed that 21-24. Is that supposed to be an age range? Oh algo, you flatter me.

Keep getting this ad and it sounds like a literal nightmare. I’d rather have the masked hockey dude show up than the dude bros fanboying Ezra Klein.

I feel this! I think part of the recent rapid downfall is that he’s refused to evolve or see nuance and digs in.

Ezra Klein has given me the ick for YEARS (and I know I’m not alone). But this past week has certainly provided an ABUNDANCE of extra dumb shit out of that man’s mouth.

A lot of them would even agree with concepts like white privilege but the way that it applies to them, if they could ever process it, would shock them to their cores.

Anyway. In the Star Wars prequel trilogy the Jedi lost and the Empire won because the Jedi just sort of stopped giving a shit.

It sucked for Black/trans/gay people, immigrants, working class, women, the imprisoned, poor, white people, republicans voters, like it sucked for EVERYBODY but white upperish class liberal people, who were the main characters of the universe, comfortable by divine right of Sorkenesque goodness,

Watching invisible-man-bun-and-is-that-beard-fake Ezra Klein's insufferable manipulative gaslighting attack vector was a chore but my thought came where at one point Coates talks about his ancestors fought and died for a future they'd never see, and Klein doesn't get the point at all.

also, in keeping with Vance’s view of american identity, only white people are fully American with the right to critique or dissent. nonwhites must show proper gratitude (supporting Trump or marrying JD Vance) before they can speak critically of the country (in approved ways, of course)

Jess Calarco @jessicacalarco.com · 8d

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

Tweet from the VP:
Joy Reid has had such a good life in this country. It's been
overwhelmingly kind and gracious to her. She is far wealthier than most.
Yet she oozes with contempt.
My honest, non-trolling advice to Joy Reid is that you'd be a much
happier person if you showed a little gratitude
