Honestly, pants trends are always weird in one way or another.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

You've completely missed the point just so you could indulge in obstinacy.

Yeah! Queen Consort. We're used to hearing about the Queen Regnant.

Okay this is extremely funny now. "Being mistaken for a sock puppet" wasn't on my bingo card tonight 😂😂

How many of us are there, and how many CEOs are there? Can't stop us :P

(No really, how many bsky CEOs do you think there are since someone might think they're "one of CEO's"?)

Time for my annual Covid/flu Vaccine PSA for Toronto folks:

If you have mobility issues and need a vaccine at home, Toronto Paramedic Services will come to you! You don’t have to be a senior to qualify. (I was referred by a TPH nurse but self-referral is fine)

Spread the word!

How many times do you need to be thanked before it mollifies you?

Thank you again. Genuinely. It was very nice of you to do that work.

Ok? I have 63 followers, bud. This was not for general public consumption. And it wasn't funnily ironic because it wasn't about reading.

Also, if someone asked me, I would've just given them the text transcription without being bitchy about it. Srsly thank you but fucking take a walk or something.

Yeah I wouldn't call constantly reading news articles about the world burning down "fun" and it's taking up a lot more of our time.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

note the character in my play is called "tech weirdo". this is because it seems like the main options are just hoping some tech weirdo is content to MySpace Tom and not decide he needs to be a force for free speech and markets

also just feels important to point out that after a whole wave of trans users were suspended for pointing out JK Rowling’s transphobia, now apparently we are suspending Jewish users for pointing out Christian Zionists’ antisemitism

the pattern is, uh

not subtle

Claire Willett @clairewillett.bsky.social · 2d

it is genuinely shocking how much rage @jay.bsky.team and the devs seem to have for their user base. suspending Erin Biba over an old post just because she’s been criticizing you is deeply fucked up. fix this shit.

It literally doesn't matter but "woah" just _bugs_ me.

Merriam-Webster @merriam-webster.com · 2d

Let’s talk about ‘whoa.’

First of all, ‘woah’ is not yet considered an established spelling variant of ‘whoa.’

While ‘woah’ has grown in prevalence since the late 20th century, ‘whoa’ is still about 5 times as common as ‘woah.’
