I use Bluesky as a brain dump a lot of the time. If I want advice or suggestions, I’ll ask for it. I recognize this is a public forum, and there’s nothing stopping you from being a Reply Guy. Likewise, there’s nothing stopping me from blocking you. Don’t be a jerk.

This is an amazing halftime show - all the choreography and dancing and OMFG it’s so good
Ok aside from the fact that this banger of a halftime show is going to give the right wing a collective heart attack, which is fucking awesome, how about the technical wizardry that went into that one camera take through the hedge maze

Taking a break from knitting to stretch my hands and wrists! Making good progress on this baby blanket. It’s Bounce by Tin Can Knits, knit with Knit Picks Shine Sport. Easy yarn to use, and I’ve got my ChiaoGoo circulars with the bend for easy stitch movement.

"Donald Trump engaging in this behavior during Black History Month is no accident," writes Columnist Solomon Jones. "His childish attempt to taint the legacy of America’s most accomplished Black couple is about more than insulting the Obamas. It is meant to demean all of us."

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.
Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.
Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.
Get them out!

Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"
