Spheal Posting @sphealposting.bsky.social · Aug 31

Some meme about drawing circles I have added spheal to because it's a circle
1: Just make it exist first (badly drawn blue circle)
2: You can make it into a spheal later (pokemon rumble spheal perfectly inside a circle)

If you say that to me I will slap you

They say "No Kings", but there's no prohibition against "YAS QUEENS"?

folks can complain about the effectiveness of scheduled orderly mass protest but to think about it another way its the closest thing we have to the opening scene of A Muppet Christmas Carol where all the muppets sing "there goes Mr. Dipshit, there goes Mr. Ass" to Scrooge and it clearly bothered him

A big question now is: why isn't FEMA in western Alaska?

Because they have not been deployed.

Gov. Dunleavy has requested a federal disaster declaration, and Alaska is waiting to hear back.

In the meantime, it's all local, tribal and state led relief efforts.

Alaska has requested a federal disaster declaration; in the meantime, the state is bearing the cost of aid, response and cleanup.

a poster that says " i am the me i choose to be " by sidney poitier

Alt: a gif of the words "I AM THE ME I CHOOSE TO BE" with the attributiong "Sidney Poitier (Actor and Activist)" beneath it in a smalled font. "ME" is circles, "CHOOSE" is blue, and the whole quote has a boiling effect.

#nokings rally I went to in Extremely Normie Chicago suburb was easily triple the size of earlier one. TRIPLE. & that was much bigger than I thought it would be. Previous one, occasionally cars would beep, this time every single car was leaning on the horn the whole time. Encouraging cacophony. 👊🏻💚

Alex says "i'm going to take a selfie under harsh overhead lighting." She continues with resolute determination "I'm also gonna use a reeeeeal unflattering focal length." The selfie renders a predictably monstrous portrait. Alex looks at it and exclaims "OH GOD! I objectively look like this!"

The ability to remove your post when a hostile account quote-tweets you is a great feature of Bluesky.

To do it, go to their quote-tweet of you, click on the three dots in the bottom right, then click “detach quote.”

It shows up as “removed by author.”
