GenX with a #Mets heart, a #BlueCrew soul, and a bookshelf fit to start a revolution. Music, history, science, books, and stray animals keep me sane. MAGA and crypto keep proving Darwin was too optimistic. Posts may contain sarcasm and stray cats.💙☮️

If you are a Mets fan, I want to follow you.

Unless you're MAGA, in which case the internet is a dangerous place and you'd be safer playing in a sandbox with your 2 white crayons and a juice box.

Awesome people indeed!

New friends like you make the whole thing feel less like a cursed timeline and more like a group project where someone actually brought snacks. 😁

I'm gonna crawl inside and die
'Cause my lady, now a mean ol' woman, Lord
Never told me goodbye"

10/8 - pain

Johnny Cash - Hurt

Cash’s 2000s covers weren’t reinterpretations.
They were reckonings.
A dying man whispering truths and reliving pains through borrowed words.
Every cover a eulogy. Every note a scar.

Good morning @jazchaz.bsky.social
Welcome to the middle child of the week. Not rebellious like Friday, not responsible like Monday. Just lurking in the hallway with mismatched socks asking why everyone calls them Hump.

I just listened to a story about this on the @thebrianlehrershow.bsky.social and I'm still wiping my eyes. I've suffered from auto-immune diseases my entire life.

If today's US oligarch-owned media had existed in the 1970s, Nixon would have been anointed king, and there would be a 12-part docuseries on CBS called "Tricky Dick: The Man Who Saved America From Journalists."

If I'm laughing, I helping.
If I'm crying, I can't help anyone.
None of us are alone in this fight, we will all fall and we will all get back up again.

Our strength is in our community.

They fucking hate seeing us laughing.

MAGA’s Oregon: tropical vines, parrots chanting “1776,” and one guy in camo demanding Epstein’s flight logs. When your cult runs on conspiracies, eventually they collide. Jungle MAGA vs Jet MAGA. May the truth win for the victims, and maybe crack the cult's shell of lies enough to let some truth in.

After layoffs, it's unclear how many people are policing civil rights violations inside the Department of Homeland Security, even as the Trump administration ramps up ICE detention.

Civil rights jobs have been cut. Those ex-workers warn of ICE detention violations
