Just a quick note to those who have recently followed me. I appreciate that people want to follow me, but understand that I don't and won't follow everyone back. However, you'll have a much better chance of a follow back if you complete your profile.

After a fun six-month contract proofreading full-time for DC Comics, I've reopened to new freelance projects! Besides comics, I work with prose books, articles, and more.

I need someone to explain to me why it’s always “if you can’t pay rent, buy fewer lattes and avocado toasts” and not “if you can’t pay your employees a living wage, buy fewer yachts and real estate”.
Explain it to me like I’m in kindergarten.

@Spoutible While I understand that everyone has the right to block anyone they wish and not see anything the blocked person posts, I've run into a problem.
05:43 PM - May 18, 2023

@Pamela Apparently someone in the thread has me blocked, so I'll have to reply this way. I believe you're correct that the R's can block a temporary replacement, but if Ms. Feinstein were to resign or be otherwise unable to serve permanently, the D's could replace her regardless of R objections.

Wow. Okay. Perhaps trying to help people who have been hurt so badly that they can't recognize an honest attempt to offer support is a bad idea. I'll remember that.

Exactly this - Jack Smith has one chance to get it right. The evidence and witnesses are in the 100s if not 1,000s... the cases are complex... laws often ambiguous, and justice may be slower than we want. Yet it will come.
C suzie @CsuzieMaybe because I'm old I did not think it would happen right away. Facts must be proven ,witnesses interviewed, law enforcement always works from the bottom up.11:53 AM - May 12, 2023
If you are going for the top you must do it right the first time.

Exactly, and maybe block that person.
JeffCO @IJeffCOSo when an account posts a giant photo of TFG and their entire message is that you should echo their post, all that happens is we get hundreds more exposures of the giant photo of the sexual assaulting criminal. Maybe don't?01:26 PM - May 11, 2023

I shouldn’t have to say this but…
The only people who know who, the stage, and the focus of any investigations is the DOJ.
The public was never privy to any part of the Santos process.
Life is not an episode of Law n Order.
Time is better spent being an active participant of change.

I saw this elsewhere, but don't know if it's been posted here yet. Something seriously *has* to be done about this court, and very, very soon.

@Spoutible I know y'all are working on the app, but can we please fix the thing where I click on a spout to read it, and then when I go back it takes me back to the top of the feed again? It sometimes *sort of* works, but only if I'm on the first page of the Timeline, and never from Explore.

A formal apology to @beec4240 and @danismashingit , a small thread: I made a comment a few weeks ago about your frequent spouts regarding the Bot Sentinel scores, saying that it was "f***ing annoying". While that may have been how I felt at the time due to other pressures,

It's so cute that people on Twatter think their Do Something tweets moved the needle on DOJ cases. No, pumpkin, Merrick Garland doesn't do your bidding or need your screamy input. He's been pursuing cases the whole time in the EXACT order necessary to secure a guilty verdict, from the bottom UP.

The ethics and conduct of Judges — ALL judges, should be held to higher standards, not lower. Without independent methods to investigate, remove, and punish them, they'll continue to act like despots and little gods.

In all seriousness, judge Spoutible by its enemies, and judge BlueSky by its allies. The Nazis wanted to take this place down too. That tells you everything, about both platforms.

Shower thoughts: Faith, by definition, requires that there be no proof of an assertion. You just have to believe. That's interesting because the easiest way to remember how to spell the word "believe" is to remember that the word "lie" sits in the middle of it.

Okay, then reframe. The "greater" of the two evils is fascism. Pretty clear choice there. The "lesser" is a party working to get every last one of us to third base where, apparently, you are spouting from. We're fighting for YOUR revolution and you're the one making it into two negatives here.

PSA: Like many others, I have always referred to the Supreme Court of the United States as SCOTUS because 1) I'm lazy and 2) it saves characters on sites like this. Based on recent events and revelations, I will henceforth refer to it as SCCOTUS, with the extra C denoting "Corrupted". That is all.
