Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Well I just learned that this person’s worldview is deeply, deeply disappointing. I have not been aware of him since he played this character in a (terrible) movie that I love so much. This is a bummer 010
Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Hell is empty and all the fascists are here. Or whatever Shakespeare said. 060
Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 30/08/2026The books I am currently reading (My Tender Matador by Pedro Lemebel and Nothing Tastes as Good by Luke Dumas) are destroying me for vastly different but equally compelling reasons. I’m afraid that they’ll send me into a slump once I finish them 😭 What do you read to get out of (or avoid) a slump? 100
Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Truly unbearable and uncalled for. Let’s just hit the stop button please 040
Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I’m gonna need whatever is happening to fucking stop happening. 1152
Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 26/08/2026One of the very best to ever do it. Rest well, Tim. I wish we could have had you forever but I hope you’re somewhere much nicer now. 0100
Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 25/08/2026If you are bereft today and don’t know what to do with the grief, consider supporting one of her greatest works. Thank you, Dolly, for the way you lived. For the light you shared so generously. I will always love you. Rest well 💔 0123
Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 22/08/2026The destructive and invasive emerald ash borer beetle has been confirmed in Washington state which means this is quite literally a tree emergency. How can you date at a time like this? 110
Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 21/08/2026I am purposefully not naming them because it’s a lovely bookstore and I have had successful transactions with them in the past. I’m mostly just sad about not getting one of the books in time to start reading it as part of my current self-imposed reading theme. 000
Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 21/08/2026I ordered books from a queer bookstore I like because they’re doing a charity drive. They sent my order to someone else, in a different state. They have not responded to my two emails over the past week. I’m sure they’re just busy and maybe someday I will get my books 🥲 youtube.com/shorts/kmRNk...youtube.comThis is v good advice. 🎤 #MaryBethBaroneYouTube video by Netflix Is A Joke 110
Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 21/08/2026I also love bridges, some of my favorite places are bridges and my favorite place in the world is a bridge in my city. However, suspension bridges exist in a separate (evil) realm. 010
Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 21/08/2026It looks so pretty and I love LOOKING at it, but I can’t set foot on it 😅 210
Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 21/08/2026I think so! I am not a thrill seeker so bungee jumping was the most thrilling thing that came to mind. For me, just walking across the suspension bridge in BC would be a thrill. I’ve chickened out twice 110
Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 21/08/2026I love tiramisu. And I love that they’re made a coffee that’s flavored like a coffee and cream flavored dessert 120
Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 21/08/2026You could be minding your business on your morning walk, listening to a score from a tv show, and you could burst into tears in the middle of the street. It has happened to people I know. 1161
Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 21/08/2026If you haven’t yet, now might be a very good time to read The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. We are there. Now. 060
Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 21/08/2026What have you done in the past? (I’m not helping, I’m just here to fulfill my curiosity 😂) 220

Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 19/08/2026I really liked this season (though I have my criticisms) and this was a hilarious and delightful thread 😂 010
Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 17/08/2026*digging to the core of the earth to find the bar* yes, at least there’s that. 010
Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Exploited in life and then not allowed to rest in peace. I hope not, but probably. 110
Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 16/08/2026I’m putting in a request for a coffee flavor when I’m in town. 110
Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Cambridge has also had several scandals involving white professors being accused of other crimes, such as sexual misconduct and assault. Do those cases set white academics back? Even the question sounds absurd, doesn’t it? 040
Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 15/08/2026And it absolves Cambridge of responsibility. An institution with documented gaps in their hiring, pay, and admission of Black academics. If there is any entity that deserves to carry Arday’s story as a burden, it is Cambridge; not Black people. -> 150
Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Arday was obviously not a well person. It is not a well person who would live with that level of delusions of grandeur and manipulation of those around them. But the suggestion that he has somehow “set Black academics back” is to reinforce the very racist idea that we are all the same. -> 250
Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 15/08/2026They hired him without any due process because they never took him seriously as an academic. They were breathlessly excited to capitalize on the PR opportunities of hiring someone with his profile. To tokenize him, and then abandon him. This is what academia does to Black academics. -> 140
Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 15/08/2026I learned this morning that Jason Arday was found dead. In all the gleeful public flogging of Arday (and legitimizing of the heinously racist ideas of people like Nathan Cofnas), where is the accountability for Cambridge? It is their racism that allowed Arday to be hired in the first place. -> 150
Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 15/08/2026My dad and I had a tradition we called “out and about” and it was just us choosing a random neighborhood and walking around for hours, collecting photos or taking notes of the day’s adventures. His Parkinson’s took that from us so now I do it alone. It’s one of the saddest things in my life. 020

Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Reading the east coast crashout comments from my home in the Pacific Northwest 😂 040
Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 13/08/2026The point is, I don’t care what Harry Potter means to you. It used to mean a hell of a lot to me. But I learned how to detangle my love and grief and identity from a piece of media. It’s possible to do. I did it because I don’t want to help her as she actively hurts people. YOU CAN MOVE ON. DO. 0180
