Monthly Reading Report... I read 5 books in July 2026! Fewer audiobooks since I drive alone less often. And I really took my time with THE SIXTH NIK, as the hard scifi and body horror were A LOT to think about (in the best way) #readingchallenge #summerreading #booksky

Please read..... #BookSky

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

I'm not crying; YOU'RE crying! #rush #rushconcert #rushfiftysomethingtour #unitedcenter

You'll be shocked to learn the secret was ACCESS. ACCESS is the thing. This is why removing access to books is key to fascism. Key to Christian nationalism. Media literacy in this experiment was a bonus. Revoking ACCESS is why we have a literacy crisis. Democracy, paywalls, etc etc.

Imagine if a woman president spent most her time raving and crying about an election she lost 6 years ago. Emotional. Unstable. Hysterical. Unfit to lead.

Meta glasses ad vandalized in London

Everything about this story is wonderful, from the activist group’s name to the surgical vandalism to the not-so-subtle nod to the classic ”They Live”, John Carpenter’s 1988 film…

It’s so important to remind people that we can do good smart things that help and don’t hurt.

Two Minnesota solar farms seeded native wildflowers under their panels, and 5 years of counting revealed native bees had multiplied twentyfold, then crossed the fence to pollinate the neighbour's soybeans

Gas is high. Groceries are high. Rent is high. Wages are stagnant. Another forever war. ICE is committing murder on our streets. We can’t eat fresh produce and our national monuments and parks are being pillaged. But, at least the president has made billions of dollars in the last year…

Trump's dysregulation is destroying this country. 25th amendment is soooooo long overdue.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (NM-01)@repstansbury.bsky.social · last mo.

Just moments ago the President was supposed to sign a bipartisan housing bill here in the capital. Except, in a bizarre chapter, he didn’t and is a no show—because he says he’s mad at the Senate. Here’s what’s happening ⬇️👀

$600 MILLION for a vanity ballroom. $29+ BILLION for an illegal war. $300 BILLION for Iran. Even $14 MILLION for an algae-infested pool. But not a single penny for the 770,000 hungry kids in our country.

Synchronicity...I've not seen or heard anything about the Flatwoods Monster ever?...and in the last week I have seen a cross stitch pattern release, a patch and a brick kit at my local witchy store, and saw a random post where it appeared on a guy's top 10 cryptids list. Time to read up on it!

We wanted to post some more detail about this because it deserves far more attention. The Trump administration’s Justice Department has intervened in litigation involving Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI, asking a court to dismiss a pollution lawsuit against the company.

This makes me smile

Damn Colbert is a treasure. He very knowingly and intentionally played Linus and Lucy on the air, and the copyright holder joyfully got a fine out of CBS for it and then donated it to World Central kitchen. www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

Freddie Mercury was a refugee from Zanzibar. #RefugeeWeek2026

If you don’t have anything pressing to say but feel like posting on social media, remember that it’s never wrong to say Elon Musk is a pathological liar, a deliberate promoter of global starvation, and a disgusting clump of duck droppings wrapped in human skin.

The White House before the current occupants and as it should have looked for America’s 250th birthday.

What could possibly go wrong?

The whole world is watching, and, frankly, should demand that LA be removed as the host city for the 2028 Olympics. There is no reason to subject even more international athletes to such blatant disrespect.

If we’re allowed to build houses that could collapse on top of you, we can build a lot more houses!

HUD Secretary Scott Turner: "The number one thing I hear that's crippling our housing development is regulations, so we've been very intentional about tearing down the regulatory environment. If you take that away, it brings down the cost of a house."

Me: I need to read more horror, right? It's my favorite, and I feel like I don't read enough. Also me: Daaaaaaaang, my BlueSky feed is 95% Stoker....
