Hi, everyone! My name is Stevonnie. I like breathing in oxygen and breathing out carbon dioxide as part of a mixture of gases consisting primarily of nitrogen. I hope that this is a social media platform where it's safe to voice such controversial opinions.

The site works as expected for me, fwiw.

Having had similar experiences elsewhere in the past, it sounds to me like an unintended effect of a browser extension. Do you have any that deal with video, perhaps designed to target autoplaying ads? If so, try turning them off and see if it helps.

Without downloading anything, where are you at mentally right now?
In a screenshot from The Emperor's New Groove, Kronk gestures at a map showing the paths traversed by two sets of characters. By all accounts, it doesn't make any sense that he and Yzma got back first.

Explain your username:

It's a vestige of the years when I was between first names and went by "S.", plus my birthday. I originally kept the handle here because I wanted people from Twitter to be able to find me again. Maybe I'll change it at some point.

Explain your user name:

It is a non-dictionary word found in the chorus of "Little Black Dress", a song from "Shock Treatment", the cult film sequel to "The Rocky Horror Picture Show".

Statement on the Two Year Anniversary of October 7 and Ongoing Genocide
Statement on the Two Year Anniversary of October 7 and Ongoing Genocide

Rep. Ruwa Romman, Democratic State Representative and candidate for Governor of Georgia issued the following statement on the anniversary of October 7 and ongoing Genocide

For two years, we have witnessed atrocities beyond human comprehension. Two years of horrific violence, mass displacement, and incalculable loss. Two years of having to mourn the deaths of men, women, children, and entire families. Two years of families desperate to be reunited with those taken hostage.

We remain angry, heartbroken, and once again call on our leaders to bring an end to this destruction that’s killed at least 67,000 Palestinians and more than 1,100 Israelis. 

Sadly, our leaders continue to fail us. While they trumpet proposals of alleged peace little has changed. Every day this continues, Israel, with our backing and tax dollars, perpetuates more death, destruction, and horror in Gaza. Children are starving. Hostages remain in captivity. Every day that passes isn’t just a policy failure — it furthers one of humanity’s darkest periods in recent memory. 

Today, we reiterate our calls to stop sending bombs in violation of our laws. We reaffirm the need for leaders to reach a just solution and a lasting peace agreement for all those living in the region. We echo the demands for the release of Israeli and Palestinian hostages.

May the children born today grow up without genocide, apartheid, and oppressive cycles that perpetuate more violence. May we all have the courage to end decades of violence and bloodshed that’s claimed so many lives. Together, we can bring an end to this nightmare.

My statement on the two year anniversary of October 7, 2023.
“Two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities.

In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all.

This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account.

These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.”

Whether you call it Sukkos, Sukkot, Chag HaAsif, the Feast of Booths, the Festival of Tabernacles, or That Holiday With All The Zoning Violations, it starts tonight!

Here's a song about it from a 70s musical, set in the 50s, in another universe.

And basically done! (I just need to back it on wood so she can hang it up.)

Now is the time to be brave. Republicans in Georgia have controlled our state for over 20 years leading to underfunded schools, closing hospitals, & low wages stuck at $5.15.

I'm running for Governor to change that.

It was never about "doing it the right way."

Honestly, everything Bluesky is doing makes sense with this in mind.

Your occasional reminder that as far as the people running Bluesky are concerned, the main thing they're working on is AT Protocol. This application/platform is just a test case and proof of concept.

Yes! It finally happened!

8yo: Dad, what does IYKYK stand for?
Me: (conspiratorial head gesture) If you know, you know.
8yo: Daaad, tell me what it stands for.

(followed by five more increasingly irritated iterations of this, until she finally got it)

Peak dad moment.

Written 55 years ago, Schulz's heartfelt clarity cuts through the noise, even today.

Scan of a typed letter from 1970, from Peanuts creator Charles Schulz, addressed to "Joel Lipton, 622 N. Foothill Road, Beverly Hills, Calif. 90210"

It reads:

"Dear Joel:

I think it is more difficult these days to define what makes a good citizen than it has ever been before. Certainly all any of us can do is follow our own conscience and retain faith in our democracy. Sometimes it is the very people who cry out the loudest in favor of getting back to what they call "American Virtues" who lack this faith in our country.

I believe that our greatest strength lies always in the protection of our smallest minorities.

Sincerely yours,
 
Charles M. Schulz"

The first Peanuts strip by Charles M. Schulz was published on October 2, 1950.
Four black and white panels of a boy and girl sitting on steps. 1st panel: Charlie Brown is approaching and the boy says “Well! Here comes ol’ Charlie Brown!” 2nd panel: As Charlie Brown passes, he says “Good ol’ Charlie Brown…yes, sir!” 3rd panel: “Good ol’ Charlie Brown…” 4th panel: Once Charlie is gone, “How I hate him!”

Jane Goodall, from a March 2020 Paste Magazine interview: www.pastemagazine.com/article/jane...
screenshot of text:

Do remember to tell people, when you write your article, that the most important message today is that every single day, each one of us lives, we make some impact on the planet, and we can choose what sort of impact we make; what we buy, what we wear, where does it come from? Did it harm the environment when it was made? Did it lead to cruelty to animals like terrible factory farms? Is it cheap because of child slave labor? If we start making ethical choices every day, millions and billions of us, we move towards a better world and a world of citizens who will push governments to make the ethical decisions themselves.

My personal timeline is full of autistic people trying to explain that there isn't more autism than before, it's just that we're better at detecting it, and there's nothing more autistic than hoping explaining something at length will help matters when nobody is really listening.
