I was one of those kids who read dictionaries when they were bored and there wasn't a new book in the house (I'm awkward, old school, and still figuring this out. Couldn't ever stand the Other Place so I'm a complete noob here)
It's not what we are; it's the promise of what we could be. A solemn Fourth of July, from me and mine to you and yours.

I've had two playlists, that up until now I've kept separate. One, a list of my anger music which serves as my "protest playlist." Two, a list of the Vietnam protest music I got introduced to by my dad. Today they got smashed together. I'll be in this space until further notice.
Once a library kid/always a library kid + no book budget = had to wait to be able to get it on interlibrary loan 💕🤌🫠 @leahlitman.bsky.social

My eighth grader is possibly going to need do extra credit for their SS/US history class. I'm strongly suggesting they think about doing a compare and contrast paper on reconstruction v redemption @strictscrutiny.bsky.social can you recommend any layman's language sources? Or send me on to someone?
When you're old enough to predate AO3, still have the first "grownup" email address you claimed and you get a ping from ffn that somebody followed something that hasn't even been looked at in good knows how long #fanfiction #godimold
I've got the shirt, my car is stickered.... But looking at going back to public facing work and the dress codes... I could use a hat 🤠 @strictscrutiny.bsky.social

I have to worry about people besides myself, but this is where I'm at. Digging into resources that will allow me to prepare for when the risk outweighs everything, reading civil disobedience training guides.

My Nazi Germany/Holocaust education was some thing of a drop a newborn into a pool and see how they swim exposure. Parents were Jehovah's Witnesses so we had those VHS in the house that our access to wasn't limited. 1/2
A Montana court has struck down the state’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors, finding that it violates the rights to privacy, equal protection, and free expression guaranteed by the Montana Constitution. lambdalegal.org/wp-content/u...

It's lovely when you're just trying to find something to put on for noise while you fall asleep and the channel plays next a made for TV documentary from 2017 about how Hitler used Christianity and it's imaginary to strengthen his position. </S> Oh god, the echos. I just wanted something benign.
My relationship with formalized religion is difficult. Personal faith that I can understand and empathize with. But formal systems of religion; can't really help it they rub me weird. But for some reason I could never exactly put a finger on Pope Francis struck me as different. I think this is why:
Pope Francis bestowed a special nickname on AP's Vatican reporter for her often-tough questions
Associated Press reporter Nicole Winfield, who covered Pope Francis at the Vatican during his entire pontificate, earned the nickname “la prima della classe” -- or “the first in class” -- from him in ...

Tried to search for a sticker that said "The Courts won't save us." The search options were trash. Need stickers. But maybe a play on "SCOTUS won't save us" would be better anyways? Dunno.
Was cleaning out some photos, and came across this screen shot I took a couple months ago when the spouse, a friend of ours and I were having a conversation about A.I. and whatnot
My two morning mood choices @strictscrutiny.bsky.social Also does the Hysteria pod not have a Bluesky, or am I just not seeing it?
Do something, say something. Punks have been punching Nazis forever. Don't let them encroach on your scene: chances are they don't get it; they're trying to co-opt and they'll chase out our loving weirdos in the process
This is the sort of day that has prompted this exact post elsewhere multiple times, but it's my first time saying it on Bluesky: I'll be over there -> screaming into the void
I think someone said this on here previously but to have a broad movement for good things you need to have some casuals and first timers, unless you are only in this to feel superior to those people, in which case...
Can't decide if the instinct to stand straight when I am wearing heels is influenced more by the simple fact you have to hold your weight differently or the trauma of having the little old ladies of the congregation say I needed to stand straight so I didn't show cleavage starting when I was ten.
