We have GOT to unhook ourselves from gas. The power it has over us is incredible

On the 5th of November 1941, Yoshiyuki Tomino was born and he went on to create the likes of Gundam, Xabungle, L-Gaim, King Gainer, Daitarn 3, Zambot 3, Brain Powerd, Ideon & Dunbine. Becoming one of the gods of the Mecha genre. Happy 85th Birthday 🎉
I am so fucking tired of "seeking justice" being framed as "getting even." Arresting and/or impeaching people who are legitimately guilty of actual crimes is not revenge. It is justice. Innocent people should be released from detention and guilty people should be in prison. Again, that is JUSTICE.
I am mostly very happy that a lot of people I hate had a miserable night and I do not remotely care if that makes me a bad person
You're not getting back in here till you've got yourself properly cleaned up, on you go.

The reading went well, it was a lot more literary than I was expecting and it felt weird to go last after people’s lit fic, autobiographies and political poems and say ‘Hi. This is something from my body horror climate apocalypse novel.’

HEY CIS PEOPLE: here is your reminder that things are Still Not Remotely Okay for trans people in the US, and a fair chunk of this blue wave has come out in favor of that. What we've won is a slim gddamn chance, and we need you to get a crowbar into it and pry it wider.

None of these people have ever done a single hard day of work and they think they can survive *space* and the subsequent work it would take to make mars liveable lmao

We need a generational handover. Schumer’s generation HAS to understand the world is not what it was, and his priorities do not help people who have 50+ years ahead of them. Pass the baton, Schumer.
Susan Perri @perri4health@perri4health.bsky.social · 6h agoWe need new leadership! I will never forgive Schumer for screwing up the ACA , not supporting red states that we flipped with no help from him . Today he spoke of Americans suffering, did he just wake up from a flipping coma. No more of Schumer’s bull shit. 🚫🐂💩

Joe Flynn@chinajoeflynn.bsky.social · 10h agoActually, I take it back...the more Jeffries goes on TV and says this dumb shit, the easier it will be to lead the insurgency to remove him from his leadership position.
As funny as this all is, and it is extremely funny by all means, all power to the people is the name of the game. We do what we can within the confines of the system, but the real change is going to happen on your block, in your meeting spaces, speaking to and with your community
Bluesky dot com: Get out of your bubble and come hang out on the Real Life website. We got sports, regular people, and accurate predictions about American elections.
There will now be a temptation in many parts of Europe, including the UK, to think that things will eventually go back to normal with the US and that Europe can stop its reluctant shift towards strategic autonomy. That would be a serious mistake.

AND if you are STILL saying “fuck Alabama” instead of “how do we help the gerrymandered, the disenfranchised, the suppressed?” your application to celebrate tonight’s wins in the South will be denied.
Jason Kirk@jasonkirk.fyi · 21h agoNot to be a hater at this time but I wish I'd kept screenshots of all those old Bluesky posts about how all Southerners should just be abandoned to fascist wolves. If that was you, libbing it up tonight will be allowed once you fill out your Apology Form. Get your paperwork done
tolkien: nothing is truly born evil. i will spend decades trying and failing to solve the nature of orcs also tolkien: spiders are spawned evil vile creatures. they are not corruptions of eru but descent from ungoliant, a kind of dark god far older than arda, the concept of Sin, maybe even eru.
Morrison, I love your work, I'm just SAYING
I just think it's interesting that when a female-coded writer inserts herself into her work it's called a "Mary Sue" and it's trash but when a male-coded writer does it we call it a "fiction suit" and it's pomo
