I’ve always had several ‘fascism is taking over flags’
The cancellation of the late night hosts was one of them.
Today I lost one of my best friends to Cancer. She had gotten me through one of the hardest times in my life. I'm going to miss her greatly.
Fuck cancer!
Fuck cancer!
People often say that cruelty is the point. But I don’t think that fully encapsulates Trump. After all the time researching him, I don’t think he’s cruel because he wants people to hurt-I think he it’s because he literally can’t comprehend other’s feeling. For him there is only 1 point: vengeance 1/
@pontifactspod.bsky.social Hi. I would like to upgrade my adopted Cardinal to a Pope please.
The thing is even if it was spoiled i had assumed that was going to be the credits scene and the rest of the content was a bonus
While we work to get out Pope Francis's obituary and start the process of a lot of content to come your way about papal funerals, and the conclave, please enjoy this article from @npr.org including an interview with myself and Gregg!

Today, Pope Francis died at the age of 88.
In this brief obituary, we reflect on the life and papacy of Pope Francis, briefly discuss what is to come in terms of funeral and conclave, and express our appreciation.

Thank you for all the kindness on my first post here yesterday, it made a dull grey day a bit brighter 💚 here is another aerial embroidery from earlier this year that I also love - 'In the winter garden', a rare garden landscape I've sewn! The design was made up by me :)

Hello everyone! This is my first post on here after abandoning X at long last. I'm looking forward to finding a new creative community on here :) I'm sharing my favourite aerial embroidery landscape I've ever done for my first post here - 'A peaceful place (somewhere out there)' 💚
It's that time of year. If you are wanting a place to escape to for a week of entertainment and charity, then @desertbus.org is for you. And the fun doesn't stop if you miss anything with the amazing @videostrike.team uploading video records of everything to the youtube page.
Here are some examples of previous years finished posters
👋 Introduce yourself with:
One book 📚
One movie 🎥
One album 💿
One TV show 📺
A dark road leads off into the distance with headlights shining on it, a swirling vortex leads into an eye, overlayed on a nebula in the night sky as busses spin through the air. You are entering the Desert Bus zone.
It's happening again! https://desertbus.org/2024/
Each year I help out Desert Bus by making a poster of their antics, that then is sold during the run, gets a BIG version of it auctioned, and helps raise even more for charity.
Check out the start for this year!
A Powerpoint Slide showing me holding an illuminated manuscript that contains a commentary on the Song of Songs. Next to this photo is a picture of the manuscript I'm holding opened to the pages showing a nun holding a spear and gazing at the naked Christ's side wound. Beneath it I have quoted the following from the Song of Songs: "5:4 My beloved put his hand through the key hole, and my bowels were moved at his touch. 5:5 I arose up to open to my beloved: my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers were full of the choicest myrrh. "
When the going gets tough, the tough show this image of woman looking lovingly at Christ's side wound and read aloud this excerpt from the Song of Songs to their students and watch their students' faces register various reactions ranging from horror to embarrassment.

Tips for moving from Xitter to Bluesky Before you start following people, fill out your profile! Bio, PFP, banner, and post at least 5 to 10 things. Just reuse your top 10 banger tweets—recycling is encouraged! This way, when people see you followed them and they check your profile, they’ll know what you are about and might follow back. Turn off NSFW filters in Moderation > Content Filtering Find your friends using a tool like skeet.labnotes.org or Sky Follower Bridge. Not perfect, but they’ll find the majority of the people you were following. Turn on “show posts from my feeds” in Settings > Home Feed Preferences. This will add random posts from them to your main feed, but tweaked to your liking, no ads and BS. I recommend the Catch Up feed (kinda like a “best of”). Tweak Reply Filters to something that works for you, also at Settings > Home Feed Preferences. This shows replies from people you follow to anyone else on your main feed... (ALT text too long, continues in comments)
