Please pardon me while I slowly rebuild all my follows from that "other" app. Follow me back if you feel like it, but you don't *have* to. It won't hurt my feelings if you don't, but it would be greatly appreciated if you did!

Thank you! 🥰

Because exploitation, enslavement, rape, torture, dismemberment and genocide are all deeply rooted American traditions that we must cherish and celebrate with a Federal Holiday!

Continuing my annual tradition from other platforms...

No pilot can control a helicopter once the tail rotor fails and the aircraft starts counter-spinning. At that point, it just crashes where it crashes, the pilot is just along for the ride.

Wow, why did this warrant getting blocked? Jeezus... 🥺

Hey now, I'm not trying to argue with you. All I said was this video wasn't taken today. You agreed with me, and then gave your explanation. I admitted that I misinterpreted your posting of today's date, and I apologize. That should've been the end of it.

No reason to make this into a thing please.

𝔼𝕣𝕚𝕜 🇪🇪🌻 @w7enk.bsky.social · 10h

Every post is timestamped, so people should be able to easily ascertain when things were posted.

I'm sorry if I misinterpreted, but I read your posting of today's date to mean that the video was supposed to have been taken today. My bad. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I don't know about all that, I'm just saying, it was cloudy and raining in Portland today, 10/11/2025. So obviously this video wasn't taken on 10/11/2025. I don't know when it was taken, but that's definitely my city there in the background, I'd recognize Big Pink anywhere.

𝔼𝕣𝕚𝕜 🇪🇪🌻 @w7enk.bsky.social · 12h

Your date is inaccurate. It was cloudy all day and rained most of the afternoon in Portland today.

Journalism as it was sold to us as an important institution is dead.

So, it's true then. They really *are* going to kill us all...

An easy solution is within grasp here. Grow a variety of things and sell them locally within your region. Eliminate the need for a Federal or international market. Feed your communities.

Why is this so hard? 🤷🏼‍♂️

3/16 my great-great-grandparents were born here.

While I have zero native blood in me, depending on which line you follow, I'm anywhere from 3rd to 7th generation American.

So where does my status as an immigrant stem from? How many generations does it take to officially move beyond that moniker?

𝔼𝕣𝕚𝕜 🇪🇪🌻 @w7enk.bsky.social · 3d

I struggle with this sentiment.

While I understand the idea behind it, and I appreciate and honor Native people and culture, *I* am definitely not an immigrant.

I was born here.

Both my parents were born here.

3/4 my grandparents were born here.

5/8 my great-grandparents were born here.

Yes. That's how the whole "mail-order brides from Slovenia" thing works.

Ads like this #WhatsApp attention whore should be fucking illegal!

There's no [X] to close or dismiss it, it keeps moving to position itself over top of what I'm trying to read, and it's incredibly fucking annoying!

The "bald head" ad repeating over and over and over again isn't much better.

Good luck, they're probably calling from burner phones.

𝔼𝕣𝕚𝕜 🇪🇪🌻 @w7enk.bsky.social · 4d

Very likely the former is their intent, the latter is the result.
