the Mountain Goats@themountaingoats.bsky.social · 2mo agofrom my own perspective this is one of the greatest harms done by this government and plotting a course to reverse this damage is must be a very priority in our speech and our activism
While it wasn’t the right recommendation this time, I love that Camp Damascus by @chucktingle.bsky.social is one of my options in Tiny Bookshop!

Can we please stop saying “raw dogging” in regular conversations? I would love to not involuntarily gag at random times. Love you, thanks bye!

Just started playing the game Tiny Bookshop, because who doesn’t want to escape into a fantasy world where I can sell used books out of little wagon by the ocean? I was tickled pink when Wolf in White Van popped up on my shelf to recommend! @themountaingoats.bsky.social

For a second there I thought we might actually be able to buy a house, then some random judge canceled the SAVE Act and pulled the rug right out from under us. That’s cool, I’ll just keep living in a shitty rental that costs more than a mortgage.
Happy Trans Day of Visibility! Our trans brothers and sisters deserve to be celebrated every single day, and we must keep fighting for them until that becomes the norm. In the meantime, I can’t say it any better than Nebraska’s very own @meganhunt.bsky.social:
Senator Megan Hunt@meganhunt.bsky.social · 2y agoTrans people exist, have always existed, and will loved and valued, no matter what their government tells them. (Also, I’m a part of the government, and I’m here to tell you I love you + I won’t stop fighting for you no matter what!)
Mordy was not happy with me when I needed to do some work and had to change the video from his kitty TV. The nerve!
Hey Democrats, sending 20 unsolicited texts begging for money for whoever the fuck is running against I don’t give a fuck who, in a district I’ve never heard of is not the smartest marketing plan. It is however an excellent way to piss people off and make them never want to donate to anyone again.

February Reads: Per Dr’s orders I lightened it up a bit this month to mixed reviews. Why is it so hard to find a well written cozy, queer fantasy novel, preferably with witchy vibes? Do I ask too much? Sigh. 🪐📚🩸📚💙📚
So, was Markwayne named after both uncles because they weren’t sure which one was the real father?
January Reads: life has been life-ing, so I am behind. Had to go back and reread Sisters of the Lost Nation after finishing Indian Burial Ground for book club (sadly only my SO and I finished it). I really enjoyed them being in the same world, different timelines. So many little nuggets! 🩸📚🖋️📚💙📚

“You're thinking of the $175 billion in tariff money all wrong. As if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here. Your money's in the White House ballroom, the renaming of the Department of Defense, the $10 billion transfer to the Board of Peace, and a hundred other unauthorized actions.”
