CB @cbloom.bsky.social · 07/01/2026Thank you and also: while there is great intent here, what makes you think he's going to listen to Congress? We've seen no evidence to support that, so Congress needs to actually use the tools and powers available to them, not just say the right things. 010
CB @cbloom.bsky.social · 01/01/2026...all of them? I don't know offhand but now I know what I'm reading tonight - they're among the few books that made it out of storage when we moved. I will say I played hours of Calvinball with my kids when they were little, so those strips are up there for sure. 130

CB @cbloom.bsky.social · 20/09/2025I used to use a "red feed blue feed" site in my middle school social studies classes that would compare what the algorithms would show side-by-side for whatever topic you chose. It was a great tool, very eye-opening for the kids. So scary that so many don't know this is their "news". 060

CB @cbloom.bsky.social · 12/09/2025I wish this were true, I agree with the sentiment. But *Charlie Kirk* was inexcusable, and absolutely does not deserve to be honored by lowering the flag. Dying doesn't erase the awful things he promoted (including the idea that a few deaths were worth it to keep all the guns, ffs.). 071
