aliswisel.bsky.social @aliswisel.bsky.social · 08/01/2025I must admit I didn't anticipate the silly b.s. about taking Greenland and Panama and even Canada, or renaming the Gulf of Mexico. This is how much the right hates diversity! Now it wants everything to be called "America." Trump will run out of places to deport people to if he takes everything. 121
aliswisel.bsky.social @aliswisel.bsky.social · 02/01/2025OMG, now that I've read it, the way he's coming at this is laughable. That he is reduced to nitpicking language like "center" as a verb --please. It's not inaccurate to see Trump's success as emerging from his use of language, but it's a terrible idea to define it as normal. Talk about limiting! 110
aliswisel.bsky.social @aliswisel.bsky.social · 02/01/2025So where is this kind of thing being discussed? Who's responsible for it? I'm quite interested because I have been so aware of the dramatic shift in political discourse--its diction, its tone, its "normalcy"--that has come with Trump. It's a very performative brand of normalcy if you ask me. 110
aliswisel.bsky.social @aliswisel.bsky.social · 01/01/2025I sure have not had any success changing their minds! I'm not even sure that a massive disaster that seems different from anything that's happened before, like Helene, is making the point to the most stubborn (or stupid) of them. 000
aliswisel.bsky.social @aliswisel.bsky.social · 01/01/2025Wow, that long ago, and there are still millions who somehow can't seem to accept the obvious reality of it. 100
aliswisel.bsky.social @aliswisel.bsky.social · 01/01/2025I didn't even know they existed for much of my life, but once I discovered them, wow, they're downright inspirational. 000
aliswisel.bsky.social @aliswisel.bsky.social · 01/01/2025Happy New Year, Blue Sky! It's shaping up to be a challenging one for happiness, obviously, but let's do what we can with it. Write! Do not be silenced! And get yourself an amaryllis. 🌺 2144
aliswisel.bsky.social @aliswisel.bsky.social · 25/12/2024Ho ho ho, Blue Sky! Happy Christmas! Happy Hanukkah! Happy Holidays! Hope it's all going as wonderfully as possible!

aliswisel.bsky.social @aliswisel.bsky.social · 23/12/2024Great recommendation! Also under the tree--literature by writers of color and LGBTQ writers. 120
aliswisel.bsky.social @aliswisel.bsky.social · 21/12/2024Looks great! I have one like that but not such a nice pot! 010

aliswisel.bsky.social @aliswisel.bsky.social · 19/12/2024Oh, you're not the only one! I think we're all more or less evenly divided on this, actually. 010
aliswisel.bsky.social @aliswisel.bsky.social · 19/12/2024NC needs some motivation to get clear of its old racist past. It hangs on stubbornly and embarrassingly in a state that otherwise has become quite ambitious. Help 'em out! 000
aliswisel.bsky.social @aliswisel.bsky.social · 18/12/2024Love it! I need to set up something like that. 010

They have convinced you that immigrants are your enemy while they pick your pockets at the same time, you’ve been duped. It’s the billionaires who are ruining this country,not migrants. Always has been. #RiseAndResist 499281268183
aliswisel.bsky.social @aliswisel.bsky.social · 14/12/2024Hello, Blue Sky. I'm really bothered by Trump's horrible idea to take away Daylight Savings Time. I love long summer evenings more than anything else in life. The thought of trading those for 5 a.m. sunrises makes me sick! How about you? What's your preference? 231

aliswisel.bsky.social @aliswisel.bsky.social · 10/12/2024So "alpha" is a synonym for "silly, embarrassing, and childish." Got it. MAGA's idea of necessity. 1184
aliswisel.bsky.social @aliswisel.bsky.social · 08/12/2024That is so Oklahoman: pretending to be good and virtuous, focusing on "the good parts," but really just trying to hide terrible corruption and dishonesty. I'll bet Markwayne there has QUITE "a past" beyond just being a lousy plumber. 000

aliswisel.bsky.social @aliswisel.bsky.social · 04/12/2024"Alpha" is "beta" by definition if you think people who need constant approval and support are weak and people who can get along independently are strong. 000
aliswisel.bsky.social @aliswisel.bsky.social · 04/12/2024It's incredibly frustrating to those of us who teach in higher ed. We know the men left BECAUSE women were becoming more confident there. I watched the change from male-dominant, intimidated women to confident women, men-leaving-in-droves. They set themselves up for ignorance and then enforce it. 011
aliswisel.bsky.social @aliswisel.bsky.social · 04/12/2024The low standard education system was also created by decades of underfunding due to Republican pressure. They always intended to destroy public education. It's taken about forty years to accomplish it. 040
aliswisel.bsky.social @aliswisel.bsky.social · 03/12/2024Ahhh, that sweet old face. I have never had a beagle myself, but I had an uncle who bred and showed them when I was a child. His favorite one was named Mil-Mac's Ch. Lil Jughead. 110
aliswisel.bsky.social @aliswisel.bsky.social · 02/12/2024At this point I wonder why young people want to go into broadcast journalism. It's obviously not any kind of journalism at all, just paint-by-number endless campaigning for Trump. 110

aliswisel.bsky.social @aliswisel.bsky.social · 30/11/2024Hey, so happy to see you here! Love your work and love your attitude about Bluesky too: it does NOT mean giving up the fight! It means fighting better and smarter. 000
aliswisel.bsky.social @aliswisel.bsky.social · 30/11/2024There was a shooting at a mall in Little Rock AR yesterday, just to add to the reasons why it's great NOT to do the Black Friday thing. 010
aliswisel.bsky.social @aliswisel.bsky.social · 30/11/2024Happy Saturday, Bluesky! I was thinking this morning about how Trump picks his staff so irresponsibly he basically just "runs through them," the way sexual predators "run through" women. His entire existence has been a sequence of predation, "hiring" and "firing." Disgusting! Do you agree? 240
aliswisel.bsky.social @aliswisel.bsky.social · 30/11/2024Oh, yes, this sums it up. Women have fought so hard for centuries now to escape this! And sometimes we get so close! 040
