A lot of people think Blueskyism is just one thing, but Orthodox Blueskyism ascribes the foundational rules to Alf Hog Dogma while post-exodus Blueskyism is pretty indecipherable from a long Reddit forum on the politics of wool socks

Wait what???
but what a beautiful journey
Who are you to judge another man's servant? Before the Lord they stand or fall. And he is able to make them stand.
As for Deuteronomy, yes, trans men shouldn't be forced to dress as women. Trans women shouldn't be forced to dress as men. No one should have to go through life pretending they're someone they are not, just to suit the man-made expectations of our fallen world. Romans 14.
transition, they come alive. Their eyes light up. Their minds clear from the fogs of anxiety and depression. They are better friends, better partners, better neighbors. They are more at peace, and more inspired to help others. The fruit is GOOD. God isn't surprised when people are trans. God knew!
That's right, God doesn't make mistakes. That means that he made trans people...trans. By their fruits you will know them, and the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, and all those good things. The testimony of transgender people, and of others who know them, is that when they
The concept is, unusual security measures at the access points to Walter Reed, such as one might speculate might be in place if an especially important patient were there (but it turns out that this is just what they do on holidays, I think? so it's probably not a sign of It Happening)

No, no. 1:55!
Not to be conspiratorial but does it say President Trump or "the President"? 🛋️
A friend took this at a rally today and I barked laughing.
This by WSJ is one of the best articles of journalism about the Russian-Ukraine war. A thoroughly sourced account of why Ukraine won the battle of Kyiv in the winter of 2022.
FYI this is my favorite sign I’ve ever seen
It’s an early night but I can’t turn in without leaving a little something for @erinbiba.bsky.social
We're not here to fuck (corporate, legal, soulless) spiders, Ellie
They really don't!
until there is definitive proof and probably after
It's in the water, now. Speculation has broken containment and will continue
The urge to copyedit must be intense, especially when a sentence forgets what clause it started out with or there's a minor but annoying factual error. 😆 I think people aren't supposed to do their own, yeah, alas for that "just let me fix that one thing!" feeling!
Smart of Nadler to announce this the weekend everyone's expecting orange man to keel over, too, lol
As a verified, long-term, dues-paying member of @sagaftra.org, I continue to support unions and union members always.

Thank you! I thought I had gathered that general vibe from your posts here + your Wikipedia page (how weird is it to have one?) but it's never bad to hear someone say it outright. Glad to have you in Ottawa.
And yeah, knowing you're not alone is a big fucking deal
It also formed connections between people who organized for other things later! Big protests like that rarely make anything happen *instantly,* but everything's groundwork for the next thing
I have increasing contempt for people who post "Dems keep saying (bad thing about Trump) but it doesn't seem to be working/no one cares :/" You are furthering the narrative that no one cares by posting this. You are not an outside observer to politics, you're one of the people who should care!
Happy Labrador Day, I hope your day was filled with Canadians and dogs (listens to earpiece) Sorry, LABOR Day, I hope you passed a small human out of your body in a relatively non-punishing way (listens to earpiece again)

I definitely feel more antisocial when my deaf ass can't order takeout because I can't understand the person on the other end of the phone! Online ordering has opened whole worlds to me and these people are very silly

This is a wonderful picture and a sweet sentiment ❤️

The fact that anyone could think this proves--

(I know that’s actually not a permanent solution and pretending bad things aren’t happening is not a great survival strategy in the long run, but there was nothing I could do about it now.)
And on Labor Day weekend at that! Wasn't his thing for ages to say something awful on a Friday so we would fret all weekend? (Or was that the DOGE boys?) Anyway I would expect him to be wearing out his typing thumbs but I guess not!
Right! 2L for $6 is much more reasonable
--but it's compatible with how I've always done the internet. I don't understand what it's like to come at it from the other direction, and I suspect you're right about the LJ/DW/AO3 native(/Tumblr?) crowd also finding Bsky sympatico
Yeah, Bluesky is actually the MOST algorithmic place I've ever been on! The "follow people who say neat things in other people's comments, repeat until you have a feed of people saying neat things" method has worked very well for me for 20 years. I enjoy the tweaks Bsky adds to this experience--
That is like three too many dollars At those prices there should be a superhero movie ticket involved
Ah, the "If people would just" theory, unfortunately repeatedly scuppered by the part where people will never ever ever just 😭

DS9 is best Trek for these reasons
Yeah didn't Harry Kim or someone canonically lose his shirt at Quark's? It's definitely implied
And remember that union was formed for the benefit of sex workers in space. In 1996! It's extremely BlueSky-coded.

Don't forget about the DRM-free Humble Bundle from Tor (with Murderbot, Witch King, and more), benefiting World Center Kitchen. The donation is now at over 58,000. It would be awesome to get it up to $100,000. www.humblebundle.com/books/martha...
Every single time someone does one of these my heart flows. It's so damn awesome that people can do this 🥰

Discworld QOTD, from Men at Arms
I saw someone on here the other week claiming that Vimes's boots theory was an avocado-toast situation, like "if poor people bought the good boots they'd be rich" and that's how you know it broke containment to people who've never read the books, bc how can you get it THAT backwards? I was impressed
Has he *still* not popped back up?

Well, there's pain, which is unpleasant and accompanied by blood but you can mostly go about your day, and then there's sobbing-on-the-ground-unable-to-move pain. Lotta people think that bc it makes sense to push through the former, the latter is also a normal part of the process. It's not!
I figure Bsky on our own stands a mid chance at best of penetrating the bubble, but there was folks on X and Reddit and TikTok losing their minds over it too, and clearly *something* spooked 'em if they're half-assing a proof of life
y'all, it's not a horseshoe, it's a set of triple parentheses.
Just 3 years ago, the biggest brain in politics assured me that Eric Adams had a presidential future.
I'll be on a bus but you make some valid points
oh same, I'm convinced something is up, though I could not tell you the precise number of inches he is from the threshold
I will also accept this!
Never heard of 'em before, honestly!

Remember the Goolsbee Rule, also called the “pathological irony of crisis”: If you lose credibility, your statements begin to mean the opposite of what you say.

That's the point! Nobody can force you to accept Newsom or anyone else as the nominee years before we've even had the damn primaries! People who are trying to push him down anyone's throat are full of shit, and people who assume Dems will pick him are also full of shit. We can just not do this!
Republicans are sure acting like there will be elections in three years! They wouldn't be gerrymandering if they thought there were no elections to gerrymander! It's also not one election. It's 50 elections in a trenchcoat. And Dems control about half of those states.
That's why you advocate for one of the many, many Democrats who are urgently and vigorously defending the rights of trans and immigrant children! Don't *assume* that a terrible Dem will be the nominee. Work for a good one to make it. We have several entire damn years!

Somewhere related, this is why I'm so resistant to conspiratorial explanations about why the CDC and WHO didn't initially say covid was airborne. You don't need conspiracy theories to explain institutional inertia stemming from research a century ago. Changing conventional wisdom is always hard.
They talked about it months ago! Excitedly!
Thank you!
I keep thinking there was someone else who bought it recently and we blamed J Divans, but I can't remember who!
What a beautiful thought I hope it's something very dumb and supremely petty Not with a bang but a whimper
Both British and dumb, is my assumption Those are not always the same thing but in this case...
I am so glad they had someone like their lawyers and this judge to step in for them, but my god, it must be terrifying nonetheless. I very much hope that someone is showing them gentleness and kindness at some point in all this shit show

I don't know why that's her name but it is! I've been rattling around something about commitment to Sparkle motions in my head all day
She can blame RFK, isn't he the one trying to ban anything processed
Oh, I thought the woke masses were demanding fake cheap white bread unlike the homemade crunchy multigrain our trad mothers made us Possibly soy is involved idk I can't keep up with these reactionary authenticity sibboleths
A thing to do in your own mind is when you assert, trump is going to change thing A to thing B, go figure out what thing A is and try to divine how he's going to change it to thing B. A SOS can just say "lol no" and what is he going to do?
They didn't
Do you ever wonder about the flood of email newsletters that arrives at fuckoff@bullshit.com or do other people plug in some other address when they need to enter something to make a pop-up screen go away

People have really twisted up immigration (where the executive branch has nearly unlimited authority and all sorts of "What's the worst that could happen" power cessations from congress) to everything else (where the executive branch doesn't, and honestly doesn't even touch.)
Me: You know Watto from Star Wars? The throwaway junk dealer character? Brown: I guess? Me: Let me tell you about Bluesky, Sexy Watto, and Donald Trump. Brown: Please don’t, this sounds very illegal.
Important things to know: 1) Blaha does this every year since she started running for office. It is honestly #MarketingGoals 2) LOOK IN THE MAGNIFYING GLASS. SHE USED BIGGER BEANS.
Reality has a well-known liberal bias. This means that to tell the truth, an honest media would have to be pro-Democrat more often than it was pro-Republican. Media's bias isn't just that it's in favor of MAGA, it's also LYING. Lying is the problem. If they told the truth, it wouldn't support MAGA.
