With this long list it will take me time to remember them so I can recognize one not on the list, and I will let you know. The prompts are my favorite part of being on Bluesky. 💙
This is wonderful, I had no idea there were so many writing prompts. Great to have them listed together, thank you!

You didn't read the original post and comments I responded to, and therefore have no ground for what you say. Actually, yes, racism does apply to any race being categorized and generalized about to in order to diminish or blame. Your ignorance is noted.
Neither you, I, or the poster, know the details. Those who didn't vote very likely are racist, he grouped Harris voters with them, many Harris voters racist too. If trump won it was by 2.5 M, 1.5% of total voters. None of the facts, or questions about the validity of the results, interested him.
Did you read the original post, my question asking him to explain what he meant by "so-called woke white folk" who he blamed for this situation, and his nasty response? "Woke" white folk voted for Harris. Aside from irrational, and that all white people are at fault is divisive, and solves nothing.
Thank you!! 💙

Thank you for including me Keith! 💙
Yes it is, and that is what I objected to in the original post and comments. Generalizing about a racial, or any demographic group will not bring us together. Racism is real, but most white adults did not vote for trump. I said that and was called a Karen, and a racist.
Of 160M white adults, 148M registered, Trump got 54M white votes, not even half, not most. Blaming all whites, Harris voters, is divisive. Post blamed "so-called woke white folk". I asked what he meant and was accused of being racist. Black people blaming ALL whites, Harris voters, is divisive.

Then you didn't read the thread, or maybe you don't read above third grade, call me anything you want, just shows you as an ignorant goof, I used a nicer word than the one in mind.
You are harassing me, I didn't comment to you first, you chose to join the fray. Your opinion isn't based on any valid, it matters not at all.
You didn't read my comments, I didn't demand anything. Anything else you have to say about this is pointless.
Do your own research, I'm not your teacher. If you understand the two meanings, you may be able to see that they are the question at the start of this post.
An ugly accusation from a "Nice" esthetician. You are entitled to you misinterpretation. If you think my comments in this thread are those of white supremacist, or someone who supports the patriarchy, you have a serious lack of comprehension.
White people made Prep what it is, that is an historical fact. We're both Ivy League then, but you aren't thinking like one, your comments are of a middle school girl. You can be anything you want, and here you have been bigoted, just like a white preppie. White people aren't a monoliths either.
💙 thank you for following me!

I asked a question, a fair one given what he was suggesting in his post. His post did not make clear who referred to. I repeat, his post did not make that clear. This has been fascinating, and good that you are getting some of your hatred out on Blueksy.
What you re-posted is a comment I made to someone else, not to you, you make it look like I said it to you. That's crazy manipulative. Humility? You seriously think that each white person is to be humble because other white people are racist, get real.
Not going to end well? Is that a threat? What's the bad ending?You aren't a clear thinker, these comments have never been made before, so truly, you have never seen this thread before. I don't take my time to comment like this unless I have a reason.
Did you read my comments? No? It was fair question, deserved a simple answer. If you had read it, and my other comments, you could have saved yourself from looking like a smart ass.
Your post was meant to be a slight. Your generalizations about white people are racist. Referring to me as Boomer is ageist, and shows a lack of critical thinking. Saying you have a degree in Linguists, not mentioned on your page, when you may just be an attorney, puts what you say in question.
No one with a degree in Linguistics would carry on as you have over my asking you to clarify your use of words. That ends this conversation.
So now I'm a Boomer, where did you come by that? I hope as an attorney you are better at gathering evidence before jumping to conclusions. Yes, I understand you meant whites in the the US. You misunderstand who your audience is, who populates Bluesky, who would read your post is my point.
Your post is a generalization, a grouping of all white people who think they're woke. Generalizations cause problems. You wrote to be critical, a slight. The word "woke" now has many meanings. If you had meant that all "woke" white people are stupid, it deserved a response. Now you are insulting me.
White people have stolen a lot from Black culture without acknowledgement. Language is fluid, it changes from many influences. The word "woke' has now entered our language with new a meaning. When a word has two meanings there is a need to be clear about which is being used. I simply asked.
I know the origin of "woke", yes it was stolen. Wrong or right, it now has a new meaning. I read your post as using the current meaning of "woke", the inappropriately appropriated word. In the new meaning of "woke" most understand just how bad it is about to get, trump or not. My misunderstanding.
Help me understand, if you will. "All y’all so-called woke white folks" suggests that you think all white folk are "so-called woke. Do you think none of us are actually keenly aware that trump is just the clown face on what is now a deeply entrenched fascist regime already run by actual brains?
Regrettably, it's not just trump. He may not be around much longer,but the regime is entrenched now. They want war, and will still want to cover up trump's place in the epstein files to preserve his memory as their great leader, and hero.
A minute of peace from my paddle on Lake Winnipeg this morning. It was nice to get up before my neighbours and enjoy the lake before it got wavy. I hope you find it as soothing as I do.
So beautiful, and sounds to listen to over, and over. Thank you for posting!
If at least 70 million of us concentrate, really hard, on having the one thing that would immediately make this a better world, we may have good news by the end of the week. A watched system is a changed system, and we are watching! Let's change it for the better. #discover #resist #epstein

It's spelled maggot.
These children must be so frightened. What a despicable group of people to subject them to this. They must be held accountable. All of the children harmed in his first administration, and now, need us to right these wrongs.
I care about everyone of the people deported, every one of the 600 children, and not at all about this disgraced man.

RFKJr isn't the only one in the regime with traits of the dark tetrad.
I prefer to talk about funeral arrangements.
Queen Elizabeth took care of herself, ate well, and had love for family, unlike the man who lives on diet coke and big macs and has no ability to love.
Could barely make the hurdles in the making of that ICE training video, decided he wasn't cut out to be a MAGA superhero, faked an injury, because of course he would.
Time to demand a report on the state of his health.

Seems you're in a swan dive, Rumors are you're not alive. Either way your end is near, And you do have lots to fear. For when you're buried on that golf course, Where Ivana can torment you for eternity, We'll always remember you, For the Epstein Files. #poetry #resist
Whoever runs this scam of a government with trump as president, and rfkjr running health care, is intent on destroying us, and is having a good laugh while doing it.
Tell MAGA they gave us a Second Lady named Usha, just like the founders intended, and she's about to be First Lady.
Someone(s) has all the dirty secrets and owns the entire system, trump is just the face of it.
Humbly disagree. Moron or not, his most dangerous trait is that this is a moral degenerate, no amount of intelligence would change that.

Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:

Belief that any uprising is Communist, and must be opposed, isn't unique to Carter. I divide people into two initial groups, those who intentionally inflict harm, kill for gain, and those who seek solutions aiming to do the least harm. I respect your feelings about him, a less than perfect choice.

Challenge that thought, Jimmy Carter was 100 when he died, so it's not 100% true. There is hope.
Gorgeous, and scary, my heart raced watching it, the immense power released into the water, and it's not good.
Maybe the two are willing to be injected with smallpox virus, they can prove how superior they are, and show us it's not deadly.

that may be the better situation

Brigette Gabriel, born Hanan Qahwaji in Lebanon, came to US 1989, age 35. Reported to be a naturalized citizen. Is she up for deportation? Can't find when she took the name Brigette Gabriel. She's an Islamaphobe who spews anti Muslim lies. Started ACT America 2007, it sounds so American, it's not.
I didn't suggest him as POTUS. His humor is what we need to lift spirits, and humiliate trump, right now. Anyone able to turn the tables, mock him like this, and dare redistrict to challenge TX is an important leader compared to what most Dems are offering. Who do you think would make a good POTUS?

I'm guilty of using larger words than needed, I try to fix that. Spending more time reading technical material containing big words, than talking casually with people, results in those big words being on the tip of the tongue. A word like 'use' requires a decision.
