Maybe the most #RandomSongInMyHead that has ever randomed its way into my head.
Shiv Ramdas Mens Rice Activist@nameshiv.bsky.social · 22h agoOK I have to go work now but I shall leave you with this video of the greatest Alpine yodeller alive (who happens to be Japanese) doing his thing with some chickens in the most iconic video you have ever seen www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ppm5...
Data collection dies in darkness. Because as we all know the best way to make a problem go away is to ignore it. Especially when it’s one of those pesky DEI things. www.hpenews.com/archives/nc-...

But we have to get over the belief that this stuff just happens. Not with this media. Not with this president. If no one is on TV (or X) screaming about it, the press assumes it's not really a story.

Great book, highest recommendation. Digs deep and wide to uncover and name the harsh truths of the world we live in, creating a vocabulary for understanding the atrocities and a framework for how we can build a better world. It’s rage and revelations and reasons for hope all the way down.
A.R. Moxon@juliusgoat.bsky.social · yesterdayIf this essay appeals to you, it and many like it are in my book FIGHTING IN THE DARK, which is out today. Didn't mean to turn this into a plug but hey my book is out today, that don't happen every day. bsky.app/profile/juli...
If you want to be friends, you have to stop expelling and terrorizing and harming and killing my friends. That's just a rule I have about friends. www.the-reframe.com/if-you-want-...
If You Want To Be Friends, Then Why Aren’t You Friendly?
A look at one of the most alarming and pressing problems of our age: the much-lamented fact that "the left" won't be friends with "the right," over "political views."

One guess as to why Head Start in particular is in the crosshairs.
MeteorBlades@meteorblades.bsky.social · 2d agoTrump is intent on wrecking Head Start, chopping regulations that makes the program the gold standard for early learning. Khari Garvin, who ran Head Start under Biden, said, “We’d have the carcass of Head Start. You might have a program that’s called Head Start, but in substance it will not be.”
That said, let us take a moment to thank our Bluesky Trans and Furry Elders for freaking out Jack Dorsey so much he bolted and left us this nice social media playground, taking most of his crypto chuds with him. We thank you for your service.

i personally don't think child molestetion should be required to play volleyball
Gillian Branstetter@gbbranstetter.bsky.social · 2d agoAn initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play
The cruelty is the point. And they know they can still win by losing, causing as much personal and systemic destruction as they can, for as long as they can, until they’re stopped.
Garnet Henderson@garnethenderson.com · 2d agoThis case is a terrifying reminder of the fact that being charged with a crime upends your life. Maria Rojas has had her midwifery license suspended, and the conditions of her bond prohibit her from working in healthcare in any capacity. Texas didn't just arrest her, they took away her livelihood.
we talked about this more at the time but initially a lot of the ppl who died were in big blue cities and were not white. this is not incidental to the revisionist and eugenicist nonsense we hear now.
Sky Marchini@sky.skymarchini.net · 3d agothis boils down to "the pandemic didn't actually happen but they still closed the applebees" which frankly i think is a trauma response by a lot of people that buy it - lot easier to be in denial that things were that bad instead of reckoning with 1.3m dead people [in this country]
the thing about this absolutely blatant market manipulation is that it’s going to work until it stops working, and when it stops, a whole lot of shit is going to go very sideways very fast

Obviously I have to go with the consensus pick: @cornershophq.bsky.social’s When I Was Born For The Seventh Time Handcream For A Generation Judy Sucks A Lemon For Breakfast (And you could convince me to tack Woman’s Gotta Have It onto the front.)
