Legitimately a dream to write something that inspires a reader to "go Martin Luther Mode."

@davidjroth.bsky.social the county Republican party (in Ohio) is in the same building that I work in, and I taped up part of your column to their door today, because you express your disgust much more civilly and coherently than I do, much thanks.

trying to come off my venlafaxine, after over 16 years being on anti-depressant (and anti-anxiety) meds since 19-yr-old. and holy shit that was a nasty bit of withdrawal, mood swings, nausea, dizziness in the past five days, hope that abates soon. First time taking pto at the new job, too. not fun.

silver lining, because I force myself to do this: I am on the lowest dosage I've ever been on, I'm going to find a psychiatrist who doesn't ignore me after I pay them for years after this experience, and it's worth a glimpse under that hood/blanket/choose your metaphor, every 15 years or so, lol.

it would appear I do, in fact, still need the medication after all these years. sigh. ah well, good to know!

fuck. frozen blueberries are a dietary staple for me. america is becoming unlivable :/

Under Trump, frozen blueberries can now kill you while his health secretary is busy dicking around making expensive salmon cakes on his new TV show. www.cbsnews.com/news/blueber...

I can't stress enough the importance of making shitty things. Shitty writing. Shitty art. Shitty paintings. Shitty films. Shitty songs. Shitty sculptures. Shitty is beautiful, because it's human. There's no glory without shitty. Get out there and shit things up.

sent in my letter resigning from teaching. it was rough. feels bad, man. but the call center pays a living wage and is unionized and has health benefits. marriage is also not doing great, so it's hard to write, but it is what it is. good night, bluesky. weekends aren't my friend lately.

People are making fun of AOC for having a slight southern accent while speaking in Memphis but they clearly don’t know the pain of habitually and unconsciously imitating the speaking style of the people around you

Video available online shows police shot this man at point-blank range while he was already on the ground. Police in the United States have killed more than 10,000 people since 2016 alone.

Police murdered a Black man in the street in Madison WI today. Shot point blank in the head while on the ground, tased, and surrounded by four cops. It looks like an execution. Multiple videos circulating online. Things are about to get very bad here.

Fuck off. If anything is "millennial", it's those cool transparent colors our iMacs, Gameboys, and Tamagotchis came in. No fucking millennial likes the house flipper grey. Call it a millennial paint job when I can see through the exterior of a car because it's Glacier Purple like my GBA.

Jack Saint@lackingsaint.bsky.social

No fuck off we're not calling this "Millennial grey" this shit was dictated completely by boomer retiree house flippers we absolutely had NO say in this

...shiny hunters? I just need to sit with that.

MSG’s so-called “talent” database is part of a larger data leak published last month by ShinyHunters, a criminal hacker collective, as first reported by 404 Media. But the extent of the labeling and the rationale for MSG to do so haven’t been previously revealed.

this smoke is apocalyptic. with the heat, I can either run my A/C and smell the burning Canadian forests or run my air filter and get very hot... but running both feels like wasting electricity somehow. It's unpleasant enough for me, but I'm worried about the bird and sensitive folks. sigh, cough

belated happy america day to those who celebrate, it was Sylvie's hatchday yesterday, she got pineapple bird bread and is very pleased. She is six years old 😍

am i the only one who that that red-card was well-deserved? Idk if I'm the only one, I am find with defending this hill, esp now it's consequence-free. aggro playing like that should have consequences, imo.

President Claudia Sheinbaum is rolling out Universal Healthcare for 120 Million Mexican residents. Now that is leadership, I’m both jealous and very happy for the people of Mexico.
