I can verify that Sulala has been around for years and also works with a registered animal charity in Australia. It's tough right now with so many scammer accounts, but I'm absolutely fine recommending these folks.
Hey folks! Sulala Animal Rescue, the only shelter in Gaza, is working with a local journalist to set up a school for displaced children. Sulala built the the tents and is helping out. There's a GFM to raise funds for the teachers' wages as well as school supplies: www.gofundme.com/f/5w5rfk-Hel...

Andrew, a man who doesn't want to be an earl and is trying his best to not be one, despite what legal technicalities say, is a man of fewer wants. You can preorder The Earl who Isn't, coming July 30, 2024, here: bsky.app/profile/cou...

I'm getting a mammogram today but I don't know what's going on because I'm in discord explaining it and @skyladawn.ca is pretty sure I accidentally am in jail not a clinic 😬🤣🤔👀🚨

I don't believe the shooting of Trump was staged, but rather that movies have trained us to believe SS would dog pile him and punch in him the face before allowing him to fist pump the air.

Hey @pfrazee.com - is there a trick to search for a previous post made by yourself by date?

I can't find what I did on March 5th to cause me to be added to "Professional Outrage Farming Cunts" because I want to boost that post with some graphics 🤔

Okay NEW THEORY: It isn't just the general anxiety/despair/dread people are venting at strangers, it's that there are no big politician accounts here to yell at. So instead of yelling at the people in charge, everyone just displaces that on strangers they use as proxies, and snip at one another.

This is why I delete anything that goes outside my circle. I have zero interest in my QTs and replies flooded with stupid. I'd tell everyone to go touch grass before showing up in a stranger's feed to argue, but that'll probably cause another argument. Sigh.
Jesus Haploid Christ, this place is becoming like Twitter more and more each day. People arguing with you for no reason. People arguing about an area in which you have expertise. Reply cowboys with weak rhetoric skills. Time to plot my exit strategy. I am not doing that Twitter nonsense again.

I went to TWITTER for a BREAK from Bluesky just now and felt better, like Krista, I need to sit with this information for a moment. It was so nice to just laugh at some shitposts and not have someone pick a fight with me.

So Reddit finally bullied me into reading Scalzi's Old Man's War. Now, it wasn't because I didn't want to! I own the first 3! It's not that I don't like Scalzi's work - I've read nearly ever other book and short story by the man. It's just that I wasn't ready to commit to a new series. Time to jump

This sums up my overall relationship with bluesky & why I frequently delete any post that goes beyond my circle: I am not interesting in my replies/QTs turned into a screaming anxiety rant. And I've been noticing for months now that there is a group of users who do that over the smallest things
Yeah, that--like I acknowledged I see where this is coming from, but I don't have a lot of grace for total strangers venting their anxiety in the form of being hostile to people they don't know. I'm terrified about my own situation too and I don't go looking for randos to yell at on the TL.

I think there are a few factors but the overall vibe of everyone anxious and stressed with hair-trigger reactions has gotten really bad lately. And it's not like I'm not reactive myself, but I tend to confine it to strangers who pick fights with me; I don't go looking in the TL for it.

I just watched someone on AITA criticize an Albertan (Canada) for underaged drinking at 18. Drinking age in Alberta is 18. Non-American reddit is going wild *Popcorn*

You're not owed a conversation because you disagree with me.

I know we all feel like we're crammed into a confined space pitching toward certain death with no one at the controls, but the number of folks wading into strangers' mentions to pick fights lately is really over the top.
