I've been using Bluesky to vent since every day we're hit with crazy, horrifying news. But the crazy continues, and venting doesn't help. Between outraged commentary and cat pics lies more healing content that gets lost because it's not catchy. So if you see posts like that, like and share them.

You wouldn't feel guilty about running from a bear and denying them the choice to eat you. So don't feel guilty about running from a family member and denying them the choice to abuse you. Going "no contact" is hard, but you have every right to safeguard your wellbeing from those who can't.

I get that we should listen to doctors over online misinformation, but... 1) I've watched doctors and nurses look up my symptoms on the internet during an exam. 2) I've corrected doctors and nurses with information I learned online (e.g., side effects, black box warnings). They aren't gods.

Even if pregnant women know they can take Tylenol, an abusive spouse could withhold it, claiming Trump himself condemns it. As always, MAGA/MAHA is ammo for abusive men.

Agreed. My fear is that the mob will go after Democrats in Congress thanks to right-wing propaganda. 😢

What would happen if people dressed up exactly like ICE and went after ICE? How would anyone know who was who?

I woke up laughing at 3 am. Some dream character was rattling off a witty rhyme. I wish I could remember it, but it was a nice break from montelukast nightmares.

I agree, let's deport violent criminals who shouldn't be here. Deport ICE!

My German Shepherd has a cute habit... She will not eat her food until she finds one of her old, chewed up tennis balls, gnoshes it a few times, and drops it into her bowl. Then she eats around it. Every night.

"Some children might die of hunger over Thanksgiving break, but at least our leader is an alpha male." - MAGA probably

💡Maybe we learn from the British... put Trump in a lavish palace and pretend he's king while Congress handles the real work of governing a nation.

With the crackdown on data that reveals the failures of this regime, will we know how many die of hunger this November? Let's say hypothetically that the right was correct in its characterizations of the poor, depicting them as lazy. No one deserves a death sentence for being lazy.

Are they building this for Trump or Putin? If Putin moved into the White House, would anyone stop him at this point? (What's the right emoji for utter exasperation?)
