This is 100% how I use social media. My life online is remarkably chill.
I think a lot of people don't seem to understand social media in the way it used to be and which Bluesky is fairly close to. Things like Friends Reunited, LiveJournal and even Facebook and Twitter (back in the day) we're about keeping in contact with the social groups you don't see on a daily basis.

also and I feel like I buried the lede here: it calls for the people who CREATE queer media to be imprisoned. That'd be people like me. Or any other queer creator you love. Any queen who's been on drag race. Chappel Roan. Janelle Monae. Anyone who's made a piece of queer media. Imprisoned.
Psst: Project 2025 is terrifying for a lot of reasons but also because on page 5 it calls for teachers and librarians who grant access to books that are maligned as pornography (which just means anything LGBTQ) to be registered as sex offenders. Pass it on.

"I'm not obliged to say anything about any subject at all" has been an extremely freeing mantra. Said this in an interview once when asked about some drama or other: "I don't know enough about that to comment." It COMPLETELY took interviewer by surprise. She didn't know how to respond 🤣

It has it on the "Next 48hrs" chart but not any further out than that.

Fingers crossed! Especially as it's free!

That fucking sucks! Fwiw I use Weatherzone. It gets its info from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology but has decent coverage for a lot of the world.

Seems unlikely! And if someone were, and doesn't articulate that? Then it's on them, not you.

Trump: I don't know who's behind Project 2025. Heritage Foundation? Never heard of 'em. *1 week later* Trump: My VP pick is the guy hand-selected by the Heritage Foundation to be my running mate.

Just want to put it out there that I am not, in fact, MAGA.

Anyone who wants to feel validated/unsettled, "2020s anti-LGBT movement in the United States" is a sub-link under Category:Political and cultural purges On Wikipedia. Yes, it's that bad. (No, I didn't put it there.) Love, auntie old queer ‎

It's really just a sort of bowl made of batter. We used to do Sunday lunch at a pub in Durham that did plate-sized ones and they were filled with meat, veg, and gravy. Nom!

Of you're in Glasgow you'll get some good curries. Anywhere that does a decent Sunday roast with Yorkshire puddings would be good.

Ngl, scrolling while tired I read that as "I banged My Lady Jane yesterday" and was like... Good for them!

To be fair, a number of things in life can be salvaged by skipping ahead to naked Rufus Sewell.
(if you haven't seen the film, I HIGHLY recommend it buuuuuuuuut skip the tacked-on intro. Mute and skip ahead until you see naked Rufus Sewell, play from there)

I feel the need to mention her performance in Dark City as a lounge singer....
