Just seeing the name BlakeoftheSky should fill you with any or all of the following: Excitement, Optimism, Confidence, Vengeance, Satisfaction, Peace of Mind.
@atrupar Multiple truths can coexist. Murder can be bad, but the context of the Healthcare situation is unique. Offering no empathy for us suffering in a system of oppression is counterproductive to your goals of exposing corruption. I think you have the right goals but lost sight of them
@atrupar Aaron, I have followed you for years for your reporting and coverage of injustices in the Trump administration and thereafter. Here and on other platforms.
I have decided to unfollow on all platforms, you have dug in your heels in defense of a system that preys on us all.
@htmx_org YES. I stopped using weather apps and replaced them with a browser shortcut to the National Weather Service website. It's refreshing not to have so much bloat on a website nowadays. I would LOVE if I could trim it down further to something like this.
Ok, here's something I learned in high school humanities: As long as people believe that they have redress for injustice, either through courts or through political action (like voting), the people will choose nonviolent options.

@LiquidGoth For me, it sometimes helps to get some tiny victories in. I'm talking just telling myself that I'm going to get pants on. That's the first step. And I need to see even that tiny step as progress toward goals. Big goals, if too daunting, need to be broken down to little goals.
People can analyze, hypothesize, blame Dems till they are blue in the face. None of it matters.
This is the game right here.
Misinformation works. Those that believed misinformation voted Trump. Those that believed the truth voted Harris.
There is NO candidate that can change this.
Republicans have a well oiled propaganda machine that spans all media platforms and we do not.
Period.
@mcdonaldsgoth Dreams CAN be made true and we are the architects.
I've been wanting to reduce how much I use twitter because *gestures broadly*.
It's hard though hanging onto all the contacts and cool peeps that I need!
i’m mad that everything about the internet that was fun & useful 10 years ago is broken now. this site, obviously. reviews are astroturf lies. search is ai hallucination. no place to share with friends & family without influencer / meme / polarized content overrunning the feed.
just to be clear, the reason these fuckshits are so mad about character creators giving trans options and disability options etc is because they're fascists. you know who cares about purity and perfection and hates being reminded that the world is diverse and messy? fascists.
News: Navient is barred from servicing federal student loans ever again—and they have to pay $100M back to borrowers.
What should happen next? Biden should be proactive and fire MOHELA, the failed servicer running the same playbook Navient did years ago.

@mcdonaldsgoth @theOtomeCage Love you too Brooke! I hope you continue to succeed! Seeing you do well against the odds and despite the struggles of life for real helps me stay positive!
My coworker with a Steam Deck has goaded me into trying Linux. I didn't know those were Linux based!
I'm at that age though where I'm really starting to understand that saying about old dogs and new tricks! But spite is good at helping me lock in.
