I’m personally not religious but I have attended religious services and clubs in the past from different religions and denominations and the teachings are always liberal. The hypocrisy of the American Christian ideology is astounding. Pure willful ignorance of the words they are saying and reading.

The flaw in everyone who makes a Bluesky bad post is that they come to the conclusion that making the site better involves importing people with centrist politics to talk politics when the actual truthful answer is that we need less politics and more goofs but that’s difficult when the world sucks

I -hate- having to sit through a video for something I could just read. Ugh. There are tik-tokers out there whose whole thing is just reading articles into a camera, and it makes me sad. How pathetic that is. EVERYONE needs to read more!

I'm GenX. We grew up in an all-print world. We read really fast. So, my Millennial and GenZ peeps, I beg you for the love of Bananarama, please just send me the article and not the TikTok of the dude talking about the article. In Prince's funky name, amen.
