Reaction Shots (John Barrett)
@reactionshots.bsky.social
I write about film (https://myreactionshotreviews.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html?m=1), and social issues (http://dimensionallybarrett.blogspot.com/?m=1), make art, and post the occasional 🐈. Does that period after cat look like a dropping?
Pinned
I feel a need to post some housekeeping rules, since, well the more ya know…
🚫DMs unless I know you or you’ve asked & I said yes
🚫crypto, sales pitches, asking for $; I try to help when and however I can, but not here
🚫bio, no follow back (unless someone I know has vetted you)
Now let’s have fun!
This is an important pack. Pete’s done due diligence and I think we need to consider that when we’re growing community, we are expanding a network. Get to know who’s in your state, town, neighborhood. Let them know you’re there for them if they need anything. The time may come when we lose this
I recommend this pack because:

They’re worth following.

They’re starving the Oligarchy this week.

Drop your boycott stories below — tell us what you refused to buy, how you chose to starve the beast.

And follow your fellow resisters in this pack.

Great - well, sad - reminders here.
Somehow the Republican leadership always hires the most incompetent but Trump loyal yes people
to run departments that, if they fail people WIlL die🙁

There is plenty of proof trump is fails us

When will someone from the GOP start saving & protecting American lives instead of endangering them?

Hey everyone, Marcie is a love and this pack is full of the best folks on Bluesky. As always, even if the whole list is familiar to you, pass it along for newer folks to grow their community.

Thanks to @princess-vimentin.bsky.social for reposting so I and others could come upon it and share.
Thanks @mlipsitt.bsky.social for including me! I am reminded of how lucky I am to know you and so many others 💙
Wise words spoken 💙

11/27 | LITTLE ROCK, AR

Happy “Let’s Pretend This Was a Friendly Dinner” Day.
Nothing like celebrating genocide and land theft with gravy and selective amnesia.

Honor Indigenous people by telling the truth, supporting Native-led orgs, and ditching the colonial fairy tale.

This reminds me why I love @the-goddess-speaks.bsky.social ‘s posts!

She’s got lots more and yep, I recommend following her. She’s cool!

Also, not that any of us want to rile the old folks up, but here’s a helpful guide for having a less - help me out here! - uh, morally compromised? - holiday. Although, riling up old white guys can be fun! Sez the old white guy…

I’d be remiss if I didn’t sign off for awhile (gotta get going) with a reminder that while the idea of a day of thanksgiving sounds nice, this holiday is compromised by its historical origin.
November 27, 2025 at 2:25 PM
For Lynch fans, try (not?) to have a Thanksgiving like Henry’s?

To all you wonderful Bluesky peeps!

Maureen’s right (of course!); Mel’s pack is swell and I’ll vouch for everyone on it! Follow all, make some great friends, and grow the #BlueCrew!
Mel’s “Don’t Eat Too Much Turkey” starter pack is amazing. Please check it out
Thank you Mel for including me in this excellent pack of “must follow” people. Happy Thanksgiving. May you and your family have a joyous day with love & laughter & not fall asleep from the turkey

After my last run in with Rona, Keith’s message hits home. Vivid isn’t done with us and with a crippled CDC and anti-vax power holders in office, it’s down to us to support efforts like this where and how we can.
Operation Connect The Dots. It’s time to connect people to the information that they need. Covid is running rampant and we have to make people aware of the danger. #covid19 #longcovid #health #maskup
If you want to support my efforts please do so.

Afternoon reading.

Timothy Snyder:

“For someone like the president, or the vice-president, or for that matter for the surrounding clutch of oligarchs, none of what I write here has any meaning. For them, it is unthinkable that something -- a space, a monument, a White House, a city, a country --
