12355.bsky.social @12355.bsky.social · 01/06/2026Having a few firebrand fringe members is milquetoast. The GOP remade its entire polity by shedding its Bush I & Romney-era members via primaries and firebrand leadership. In return it has had unrivalled success and remade 100 years of legislation in short order 230

12355.bsky.social @12355.bsky.social · 19/12/2025I have seven indoor cats. 6 born in our garage as stray kittens. I will never own an outdoor cat. But, life is for living, and my cats, while safe, will never live life as fully and freely as an outdoor cat. My line in the sand is desexing. You can give your cat a life you choose, but not 6 kittens 000
12355.bsky.social @12355.bsky.social · 14/12/2025I had neighbours with a dog like this. They bought another dog, to try and give it a buddy and hopefully settle down. Turns out the dogs viscerally hated each other, so they had to separate them at either end of the house. End result is now you have two dogs barking incessantly. We moved 020

12355.bsky.social @12355.bsky.social · 03/10/2025why is it called antisemitism instead of just blowback. yes, there is antisemitism. but I don’t think these kinds of attacks are all of r even mostly driven by that. I think they’re blowback, just as Oct 7 was. You act with impunity, and cruelty, and there’s going to be a cruel response 000
12355.bsky.social @12355.bsky.social · 26/09/2025It’s such a weird thing that people do - cater their views and opinions to this kind of framing. If you’re not a judge, or a journalist, or a politician, then why not just say what you think, in the way that you think it? You might be wrong, unhelpful, ignorant - so what? It’s very strange 000

12355.bsky.social @12355.bsky.social · 16/08/2025I have this thing with “rubrics” atm. As in, just about everything we believe about ourselves, others, and the world/universe at large is rubrics.
