What we saw today was two jumped up thugs and their bootlicking sychophants laughing at the US Constitution, the supreme court, and the idea that anyone can stop them from doing anything they want www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
The Constitutional Crisis Is Here
The Supreme Court told the Trump administration to “facilitate” the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salvador’s infamous CECOT prison. So far, the administration is pretending to comply while re...

I followed @skywatch.bsky.social and made use of their “lists” to manually block bad actors since it’s looking like we have to do this ourselves.
The volunteers below at @skywatch.bsky.social are doing what they can using Lists to make up for the lack of dedicated Trust & Safety here. Go check them out. A volunteer-run solution is not enough, of course.
Welcome to Bluesky! You'll want to follow @skywatch.bsky.social and then manually block every account on the following Skywatch lists.

It’s a wild world when someone this obscenely rich is whining about people wanting to be compensated fairly.

The devil has enough advocates, Kevin. The world is not gagging to hear your conspiracy theory laden rants about vaccines, women who speak up for themselves, or lizards. You add nothing but misery and that is why people block you the moment you pop up in their feed.

My conspiracy theory is that in addition to promoting racism and antisemitism from blue check clad eugenicists, twitter is now elevating racist content from non-whites to give it a feeling of broad consensus.

Also minor point but “the jews don’t date interracially” is a new one for me!

I’m at the place in this book, that end-of-the-middle transition to the closing chapters. Where the dismount really counts. I’m simultaneously treading carefully and excited to start the last act.

Had to get my eyes dilated for my appointment earlier today. My pupils haven’t looked like this since college.

Trying to get my words on this book in so I can work on edits later today. I can switch projects like this because the edits are for a contemporary romance while my WIP is urban fantasy so I can keep them separate.
