I'm using a VPN to post this from Jackson, MS.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now. A new Mississippi law requires us to implement age verification for all users before they can access Bluesky. We think this law creates challenges that go beyond its child safety goals, and creates significant barriers that limit free speech and disproportionately harm smaller platforms and emerging technologies. As a small team, we cannot justify building the expensive infrastructure this requirement demands while legal challenges to this law are pending. For now, we have made the difficult decision to block access to Bluesky in the state of Mississippi. To learn more, read our blog post. https://bsky.social/about/blog/08-22-2025-mississippi-hb1126

I'll call it whatever I want, even if it sounds like a euphemism.

On this day in 1969, I sat down in front of the TV to watch the first episode of Sesame Street on WGBH/PBS. It's the first memory of my childhood that doesn't revolve around a photograph.

What the actual fuck? I guess cis women and people of color will be next, because who wants qualified employees?
Nah, they just want white men and only want "others" when they need serfs.

US Air Force to deny retirement pay to transgender service members being separated from service August 07, 2025 The move means that transgender service members will now be faced with the choice of either taking a lump sum separation payment offered to junior troops or be booted from the service. All transgender members of the Air Force are being separated from the service under the current administration's policies.

seems silly, but it isn't. I am shopping for electrical adapters. I need a 30 amp "male" to household "female." I get why these were named this ages ago, but there must be new terms. innie & outie? most folks have belly buttons and they are gender-free. #genderbinary #obsolete #wordingmatters
a short black cord with orange ends. one end is "male" 30 amp. the other is "female" standard household outlet shape.

So I had to go to... Walmart. Wasn't thrilled about it. Please listen to this song by Matt the Election to the very end. Worth it.

White text on a gray ombre background. Some of the best advice I've ever received? You're allowed to change your mind. at any point, you can say, I can't support this. Even if you once did. Even if you weren't sure. You're allowed to recognize when something has gone too far and walk away. The best time to speak up might have been before. The second best time is now. -Paul Avellino

one day, everyone will have always been against this
it's just text, but the colors change. The first two words are in white, then there's a bunch of words that are in a dark color, and the last phrase is again in white. this is the text. one day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this The words that are in white are one day everyone will have been against this.

I mean, a paper plate does just fine, too. Picnic Depressed? #charcuterie
reposted text from Natalie'Zorah, @TerraSirena Charcuterie is just what happens when you have a Depressed Meal and eat assorted things straight out of the fridge, but you're Business Depressed so you put it on a bit of wood.

if you serve your kids frozen pizza or chicken nuggets for dinner, you are a terrible parent. I don't care how busy you are. find the time to microwave them.
