I live in the South Bay Area and the one thing you should do in my city is take your small child to the Children's Discovery Museum in San Jose. It's an amazing place. #flythefriendlysky
Let's have some fun on Bluesky tonight! Tell me where you live and one thing everyone should do in your city! #flythefriendlysky

I live in Fremont, Ca, which is boring for the most part, but everyone should absolutely go to the Silent Film Museum. It’s in the Niles District, where Essanay Studios West was located in the 1910s. More than 350 films, including Charlie Chapman’s The Tramp, were filmed there! #flythefriendlysky

It’s almost impossible to take a picture of him at his level, because if I get on the floor, he wants to sit on my lap. (He weighs 25 pounds)
Giving my dog’s name at the groomer is like giving it to a barista. Today, he was “Binfild.” (His name is Renfield.)

The white supremacist gunman who murdered 23 people going about their day in El Paso five years ago next month had been obsessed with an alleged “Hispanic invasion” of Texas. There is no pivot, or softening. This is the Trump Republican Party. They keep telling us who they are, so believe them.
Lake also warned of the "Bidvaion" reference to the replacement theory that smashes the claim that Biden is intentionally facilitating a literal "invasion" of the United States, before leading the crowd in the nativist "build the wall" chant.

Still the greatest scene in all of Robotech.

idk i feel like expecting everyone to have an opinion on every horrible thing happening is how we get into a very big mess of people who cannot possibly have all the info saying wrong things very loudly and influencing more people to be loud and wrong

Why did no one tell me about the Tudor horse man show??? Sean Bean as Thomas Cromwell? What?!
Hey y'all, if you are feeling panic right now I hope you can find a way to disengage. Nothing you can post on bluesky in the next hour is going to change November. Watch some TV! It doesn't even have to be Tudor horse man show! 💖

This whole excerpt tells you multitudes about our current political moment.

(To be clear, I kinda loved that he was a chair too, especially because of the reason! I was just making a bad joke about being deprived of eye candy.)
I kind of loved that he was a chair for most of it. I appreciate that was Shinkai’s response to producer notes of “you can’t have a female lead without a male love interest”.

We watched an anime called Suzume last night, and it was good except for the brooding anime guy in it spending most of the movie as chair. oh and the weird age difference in the romance, but to be fair it was left unrequited.

Using they/them pronouns when you know someone uses other pronouns is actively misgendering them as much as calling someone with they/them pronouns “he” or “she” is.
Hi, gentle reminder that if you *know* a trans or nonbinary person’s pronouns, and those pronouns *aren’t* they/them, you don’t get, like, partial credit for using they/them pronouns for that person. There are no “all-purpose” pronouns, sadly.

We decided not to let the gray cat outside by herself anymore since she roams out of the backyard. Her response is to make it impossible for me to do anything. Nice document, shame if I walk on the keyboard. Oh were you drinking that glass of water? Oops. Hey have you looked at my butthole lately?

It’s Tim Downie’s birthday. Yesterday Brian and I were watching Upstart Crow and he said about Christopher Marlowe, “That actor’s voice is so familiar, but I can’t place it.” And I sheepishly muttered, “He’s Gale in Baldur’s Gate” because YES I AM WATCHING UPSTART CROW AGAIN TO HEAR HIM TALK

Hey remember the good time we were having before all this? When the big topic was a beloved author allegedly committing cruel acts of sexual abuse on young women? Oh. Wait.

I’m not easy on the eyes; I’m a maelstrom of unfathomable beauty, consuming your senses and ripping apart your reason, leaving only a husk that holds the remnants of your shattered psyche.

Juan drives a tractor at Scheid Vineyards in Greenfield CA. It was 99° on the day this pic was taken. "It was just too hot. We're not used to temperatures like this here. I appreciate the company has good equipment with air conditioning to make it safer." #WeFeedYou

The response to an attempted assassination probably shouldn’t be intense annoyance, but here I am, intensely annoyed. I’m so tired of it already.

OK, but does Hakeem Jeffries know that we know what the subtext of “sending thoughts and prayers” is?
