Rather than meet the union demands, Kroger has prioritized $7.5 billion in stock buybacks for shareholders—which it announced in December immediately after the courts blocked its attempted merger with Albertsons, a close competitor. @l-l-xu.bsky.social reports: labornotes.org/2025/02/firs...

Time to stock up everyone! This amazing bookstore in Peoria IL needs help. Please do what you can, but at least repost. We desperately need to keep small, queer-owned businesses open. They are some of the few safe spaces available for many marginalized people, especially in my hometown of Peoria.❤️❤️
You can see what is in stock on my website, & order what I don’t have from my Bookshop linked in my pinned post.
You can come in and physically browse for a new read.
You can come in and use your remaining trade credit at a steal for 100% off used books and 25% off new books.

Every time I read about banning books, I think of this:
Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius.
If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.

Dragon Age has always been a favorite series of mine. I had some gripes about Veilguard, sure, but it’s still my game of the year. I definitely ugly cried.

I am still trying to deprogram myself and just be okay with however I want to play in the moment.

This is very valid. Will always stress play however you want and what suits you best

I made this meme on the other place years ago and some people naturally got really mad.
Posting this here because there’s lots of reasonable people.

Never let someone else decide for you. Make your own decisions. You choose for yourself & what works best for you.

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

Visibility is the enemy of hate. Radically buy those books written by marginalized voices. Promote their work, and uplift their voices.
They want us to stay quiet, make them choke.

Okay, maybe I’m just old, but RT means retweet, right? Shouldn’t we rename this? RP for repost seems like the obvious choice.

Listen I can't tell You People how to live your lives but if there is one thing I would love to see you leave at the old place it's the quote tweeting and commenting on things that make you mad. Just don't! Don't show it to all your friends! Don't engage with it! We're having a nice time here!

It’s going to give me a lot of satisfaction to block people so much more effectively here. We all really need to get better at completely ignoring them. I want them to feel like sad, angry ghosts shouting into the void. 👻
Right-wingers are not coming to this platform for any reason other than to be obnoxious trolls to people who just want to be left alone. They are not here for any useful or constructive purpose. They only want to tear down and insult. It’s all they know. It’s how they live.

Wait, this isn’t THE God that all the terrible politicians and Christian nationalists keep talking about, right? The one who they apparently believe hates a bunch of people? I could probably get behind this one…🤷🏻♂️
Hi, I’m God.

I love this and couldn’t agree more. Good reviewers seem to be quite rare nowadays. I understand that it’s difficult to speak about something that you didn’t particularly care for, but that is how I like to choose the people whose opinions I actually want to spend time listening to.
