Though I mostly see these places as blobs on a screen, there are in fact people there who eat, drink, sleep, and have wants and needs just like me. 217016

lumpelstiltskin.bsky.social @lumpelstiltskin.bsky.social · 02/07/2026I need the Minnesota folks on here to bring some heat to gov walz for sending national guard troops to help occupy DC. What a hypocritical POS. Why are dem governors such shit!? 010
lumpelstiltskin.bsky.social @lumpelstiltskin.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Today I got an ad on youtube from the Hoover Institution that was like "young people are interested in socialism these days! please read our free ebook about socialism" lmao. they are SHAKING in their boots right now hahaha 000

Reposted by @lumpelstiltskin.bsky.socialMax Kennerly @maxkennerly.bsky.social · 04/04/2026It's impolite to call Musk a genocidal white nationalist because "civility" in American discourse functions not as a neutral procedural norm but as an asymmetric weapon to shield the powerful from accurate moral characterization while policing the tone of those who object. 6265671938
lumpelstiltskin.bsky.social @lumpelstiltskin.bsky.social · 27/03/2026I've seen tons of comments over the years from UK folks who can't get a rescue to let them adopt since they can't or won't be able to let the cat outside. But fun fact, there are so many rescues in other countries, especially in Greece or Eastern Europe who will drive their rescue cats to you. 🐈 000

Reposted by @lumpelstiltskin.bsky.socialS Peter Davis @speterdavis.com · 17/02/2026It drives me insane that Elon Musk basically did a Holodomor on the third world and it's not treated like a bigger deal.

lumpelstiltskin.bsky.social @lumpelstiltskin.bsky.social · 25/01/2026It feels so obvious to say, but man I feel really fucking sad. Minnesota was home to me, and seeing this horror unleashed on it is just gut wrenching. On this site, I normally focus on my anger and petty shit, it feels easier, simpler. I just don't really know what to do with the grief. 011

lumpelstiltskin.bsky.social @lumpelstiltskin.bsky.social · 21/01/2026I think every time a European posts on bluesky to complain about what they think regular Americans should be doing to fight fascism, they should be legally required to send money to an American's GoFundMe. 110

lumpelstiltskin.bsky.social @lumpelstiltskin.bsky.social · 05/01/2026This is deeply violent, misogynistic, imperialistic, racist garbage.
