I know this isn’t new, but Maher is one of the most insufferable persons possible. He’s always “smugly right” in his mind but over half the time he’s bullshitting.
He has no idea how to turn off being a smug asshole for even a second.
“Don’t make fun of someone for something out of their control with their looks” only works when the person didn’t *CHOOSE* that hair.
Suddenly the air feels better. Is that, optimism in the air? The sweet smell of upheaval?
In addition my community is full of all sorts of trainers in all shapes, sizes, and colors.
I’m equally excited that POC and LGBTQ trainers also feel safe to hang out.
I do my damnedest to make my community welcoming and things like this show me my work is paying off.
I’m ready to cry.
I hosted a Raid Hour event today and at the end a trainer that I spoke to throughout came up to tell me that they have agoraphobia and they had fun coming out to their first meeting.
I feel so honored that trainer felt comfortable enough with a stranger to share that!!
You’re right, it is just *talk*.
Really strong, powerful talk, but then he proved through actions later in the movie that it was all talk.
He got me good with his talking, ok? 😜
That’s the man the little boy from the 90’s was warped into by the hatred of society around him.
His talks about liberation for oppressed people, in my opinion, stems from a place of caring.
I could also be dumb and he’s a great lier.
Personally I think Killmonger’s story is a heartbreaker. He clearly cares about people, but he grew up in a nation that hated him. He became hate that was aimed at him.
I just counted and we’re up to 20 different plant species inside the home. Having this much extra life in the house feels good, plus it’s providing some much needed oxygen and beauty.
My garden looks great after today. I’ve got 2 purple tomato plants, 2 sweet pepper plants, a row of green beans, a row of peas, and a mound of potatoes that were a surprise from nature. There are marigolds spread in between and I also planted poppy and zinnia flowers too.
Busy day! 😅
It’s about 8-10 degrees F hotter in Portland than it was supposed to be so I’ve spent time walking the dogs 3 miles, tearing up an entire 6 foot garden bed, planted a bunch of new seed/plants, and now I’m watering them all.
Great day to start fresh life out there, y’all.
It’s an incense day in Pokémon GO today and here in Portland it’s warm enough and clear enough skies to make the most out of it. Go enjoy the outdoors and don’t forget your allergy meds!!
What’s your benefit?
Why do you need one if you have a spare $400,000 laying around? Just be the bag man and pay me already.
For a cool $400,000 investment, you could become my nepo-parent so I could invest into stocks that pay dividends enough to pay my rent every month.
Who’s down?
That’s the best you got? Dope.
Anyways, it’s ok that parents want to sue Meta, Activision, and the manufacturer of an AR-15 because all 3 of those companies were involved in advertising guns to children.
The fact that you scream “games aren’t violent!” Is so irrelevant to the article.
Says the person who came to someone else, uninvited, and shares an opinion that’s unwanted!
I see the shitholes of twitter have finally come over to Bluesky now.
Listen, no one asked you for your sheltered white opinion. Instead of yelling at random people online do literally anything else instead. Pick up a hobby. Gardening is nice. You could also just nap.
But mostly fuck off.
Tell me you don’t know politics without telling me you don’t know politics.
Please tell me more about what you think even though I never asked you! Your opinion is SO valuable.
Unwittingly or not, every single one of you “voting doesn’t matter” people are GOP operatives.
You’re helping spread right wing propaganda.
Why spread lies from those that wish you harm?
Also, you don’t know me! Have you ever ran away someone with a gun at a gay pride parade? Have you stood your ground while someone flashed their gun at you?
I bleed anti-violence and anti-fascism. Fear of violence is the most essential form of fascism.
Civil disobedience, baby. Don’t follow dumb laws, and don’t get caught! Encrypt communications.
I’m still familiar with how to mail things, and don’t live there.
Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry has signed a first-of-its-kind bill classifying classify two abortion-inducing drugs as controlled and dangerous substances.

The responses from dumb people saying “video games don’t cause violence!” Aren’t realizing that we aren’t talking about the video game itself, but the entire culture around it that worships the gun.
Putting fancy “skins” on guns to customize them plays specifically to kids. Don’t be dumb.
I never asked for your opinion! And anti-violence from rabid right-wingers is pretty much what anti-fascism is all about.
Go clutch your pearls alone please; don’t involve me.
Racists gonna racist.
Remember that and punch your local racist today (tm) !
Every star wars post on instagram about the acolyte is swarming with angry racists whining about the diversity of the cast of a show they have not seen
Every time an idiot says “voting doesn’t matter” I point to the American Christian right wing movement and ask why they’re voting then.
People will point to something and say “see voting doesn’t do anything” and it’s literally just the consequences of Republicans winning elections
Protip: it’s time to flood the zone with absolutely wacky crap so the Admin has corrupted data on how to crack down on this.
Start posting stuff that trolls the government. Have fun with it.

And if you can’t buy you can always grow! I’m working on some small lavender pots to give to people for their bedrooms and whatnot to get a relaxing scent.
Flowers are dope.
*grabs you by the collar of your shirt*
Buy.
Flowers.
For.
Your.
Friends.
*tightens grip*
And include a nice note.
Trump’s entire defense wraps with “I Plea the Fifth” by him not even taking the stand in his own defense.
@jbouie.bsky.social I know you’re a busy man but I just want to thank you for all the writing you do. I have to look words up sometimes when reading your stuff, and I love learning.
You also get a lot of garbage thrown your way and handle it with grace. It’s enviable.
If your government is seizing AP News equipment, you are definitely in a fascist government.
Tear it down.
