Bluesky isn't a place where trolls come to get mocked and insulted. They love that. Bluesky is a place where trolls come to be blocked and isolated and ignored — which they hate. If you're seeing a lot of shitty people in your feed, you aren't blocking enough people.

I used to tell the parents of the kids I taught that (a) their kids shouldn't have a computer, TV, or phone in their bedroom and (b) if they claimed they had four hours of homework a night that required them being on their computers, they were lying.

None of my near and dear even mentioned it because like most of the country they don’t know who Kirk was, don’t spend much time online, and think the country has gone over the edge completely.

extremely interesting indicator of where we are in postmodern syncretism that the guys making Kirk out to be a hero of the Christian faith will simply not comment on a Hindu proposing that he is now in the afterlife of Norse Paganism.

Wrote a little thing on Facebook for my non-online friends and relatives about caution around Charlie Kirk’s killing. It’s public so feel free to share it with your non-online friends and relatives too. www.facebook.com/share/p/1DS2...

Cooper Lund Just now • S If you're accepting the framing that Charlie Kirk was killed by someone to his left because of his politics, you're accepting the framing his poltical allies have pushed into the discourse because it's convenient for them. The reality of violence like this in America is that it is mostly done by someone with completely incoherent ideology, and when it is done by someone with a coherent ideology it is almost exclusively done by someone on the right. The guy who tried to shoot Trump last summer was much closer to being a supporter than a Harris voter and in the end was mostly just a lunatic trying to shoot someone for attention. That's the main ideology of public violence in America Don't start talking about motive or ideology before there is at least a suspect, or else you're doing a lot of people's work for them. There's a good chance the reality of this situation is much weirder than is assumed, and if it isn't, you don't lose anything by being cautious.

Got my flu and COVID vaccines today. You can still get COVID when vaccinated, and you can still infect other people. You're just less likely to die. So if you get sick, wear an N95 mask and stay away from vulnerable people, because you are infectious. But masks won't keep you from getting sick.

misfitmentalhealth.substack.com What I think when I see someone wearing a mask in 2025: Maybe they are immunocompromised and they need to avoid any sort of illness because they are at high risk for long-term health impacts, disability, or death. Maybe they have one of the many conditions that puts them at increased risk for severe outcomes from COVID infections (yes, even from current variants), including asthma, diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular conditions, a BMI over 30,_pregnancy, any history of smoking, substance use disorders, depression, ADHD, autism, and many others. Maybe they do not personally have any of these risk factors, but someone they care about and spend time with does, and they are trying to protect their children, family, partner(s), friends, coworkers, parents, church members, classmates, teammates, patients, constituents, or other community members. Maybe they live with or recently had contact with someone who has been sick, and understand they could be carrying that illness but don't want to spread it to others.
