I reactivated my account to find a recipe, and now I’m considering keeping it active. Bluesky is alright, except for the plethora of easily offended, whiny little twats. Plenty of assholes on this app. It’s a lose-lose.

In 1939, Kansas Wheat realized women were using their sacks to make clothes for their children, so the mills started using flowered fabric for their sacks so the kids would have pretty clothes. The label was printed with a dye that would wash out with soap & water.

When I was 13, I told my mother I liked a boy at school. She forbade me from ever speaking of it again. When I was 15, I told my Dad that I liked boys instead of girls. He told me I was very brave telling him that and I was his son no matter what. I miss my Dad. 😔.

A high school in Pennsylvania issued a MacBook to each of its 2,306 students, then remotely activated the webcams to spy on the students at home. A lawsuit was filed after a 15-year-old high school student was disciplined at school for his behavior in his bedroom.

When I was 13, I told my mother I liked a boy at school. She forbade me from speaking about it ever again. When I was 15, I told my Dad I was gay. His exact words, “I knew I was raising boys to become brave men & I love you no matter what.” ☺️. My Dad loved me no matter what! ❤️.

I used to pray to Superman while I was being raped by two Catholic priests at 7, 8, 9 years old. God never saved me, so I prayed to Superman. He didn’t save me either. NOBODY saved me. Plenty knew, but they turned the other cheek. Yeah, I am triggered. I hate people sometimes.🤦🏻.

I’ll tell ya, it really pisses me off when somebody calls Luna “fat.” First, she’s not fat or overweight. Second, she’s had a few very unfortunate injuries in her 2 & 1/2 years. Third, Luna is the most intelligent, attentive dog I’ve ever had. Luna is literally a lifesaver.
