phoenixreign.bsky.social @phoenixreign.bsky.social · 19/04/2026A thought provoking and well articulated article about abolishing the prison system. I'll come back and share excerpts later, but I'll leave the link here in the meantime. medium.com/@amparker/wh...medium.comWhat About the Rapists and Murderers?Trigger warning: rape, sexual assault, murder, torture, ablelism, trauma. 010
phoenixreign.bsky.social @phoenixreign.bsky.social · 07/04/2026Yes the GOP lost their minds over Obama, but he still won twice. Harris would have had a much better chance if Biden had stepped aside sooner and she had time to run a proper campaign. 290
phoenixreign.bsky.social @phoenixreign.bsky.social · 07/04/2026And really, the only long term solution is fixing the societal problems that lead to people becoming that desperate in the first place, rather than trying to ban or restrict anything remotely dangerous (which is impossible, because even water is dangerous) 010
phoenixreign.bsky.social @phoenixreign.bsky.social · 20/03/2026I miss the old days of gaming where you just buy the game once, install it, and just click the icon and you're good to go, no internet needed, and no ads. 190
phoenixreign.bsky.social @phoenixreign.bsky.social · 20/03/2026I hesitated for a long time before signing up for this app for that exact reason. Figure I'll have to jump ship again at some point, just like with FB and Instagram. 140
phoenixreign.bsky.social @phoenixreign.bsky.social · 16/03/2026I've cancelled Netflix because the quality of their movies isn't worth it. I love early 2000s era movies, they're such a vibe. Few movies from the 2010s onward have that same magic. 000
phoenixreign.bsky.social @phoenixreign.bsky.social · 16/03/2026As someone living in the US, I'm terrified of growing old. A big part of that is because there's no "easy" way out. If I live to be old I'll be forced to suffer to the bitter end. I wish I didn't have to. 100
phoenixreign.bsky.social @phoenixreign.bsky.social · 16/03/2026As a kid I was just go-go-go, no naps, no sitting around, no quiet. As an adult, all of that seems entirely unnecessary. That kid was crazy. 001

phoenixreign.bsky.social @phoenixreign.bsky.social · 08/03/2026People shouldn't be allowed to drive those giant pickup trucks without a special license. Many people can't handle a vehicle that large and many people only drive one so they can be an asshole. It's dangerous and stupid. 000

phoenixreign.bsky.social @phoenixreign.bsky.social · 03/03/2026There's so much more to life than deciding which pre-20th century German guy's philosophy you most identify with. 000
phoenixreign.bsky.social @phoenixreign.bsky.social · 20/02/2026It's so crazy that despite the national discourse concerning the falling birth rate, women still have to PAY to have a child. 000
phoenixreign.bsky.social @phoenixreign.bsky.social · 24/01/2026Absolutely agree. Many of us can't join a general strike but we can reduce our spending. 420

phoenixreign.bsky.social @phoenixreign.bsky.social · 24/01/2026I've lived through plenty of ice storms but that pic on the right is worse than anything I've ever seen. 000
phoenixreign.bsky.social @phoenixreign.bsky.social · 24/01/2026Economic boycotts are another option. Buy zero luxuries, and cut back on necessities. Many of us can't go on strike, but we can refuse to support the economy. This way we can cut both the supply and demand sides of the equation for maximum pressure. 120
phoenixreign.bsky.social @phoenixreign.bsky.social · 23/12/2025And as far as I know, some states don't have a minimum. Michigan used to be one of them until only a couple years ago. 3221
phoenixreign.bsky.social @phoenixreign.bsky.social · 19/12/2025For adults, absolutely. For kids, we need someone in their corner keeping them safe and healthy. If that isn't their parents, they need someone else. 010
phoenixreign.bsky.social @phoenixreign.bsky.social · 19/12/2025The most ironic part of all of this is Trump has made zero contributions to the Arts. He wants to blast his name everywhere but has done nothing to deserve the credit, especially in this case. 130
phoenixreign.bsky.social @phoenixreign.bsky.social · 19/12/2025I would agree with you, but I think that's part of what got us here in the first place. We need a vision for our future, something even more compelling than undoing wrongs. 220
phoenixreign.bsky.social @phoenixreign.bsky.social · 19/12/2025The New York Times has been losing a lot of credibility lately, and them keeping a man like this on staff is yet another nail in the coffin. 031
phoenixreign.bsky.social @phoenixreign.bsky.social · 16/12/2025Yeah I've been wondering what kind of literal or metaphorical bomb he's going to drop to distract us, and I'm very much dreading it. 040
phoenixreign.bsky.social @phoenixreign.bsky.social · 16/12/2025Sounds like the result of a lot of people thinking "but it could never happen to me." By the time some realize it can, it's unfortunately far too late. 120
Reposted by @phoenixreign.bsky.socialGlobal Abortion Rights News @globalabortionnews.bsky.social · 16/12/2025Yes, we are all Belén. 😢 The movie Belén is Argentina’s International Feature Film entry for the upcoming Oscars. The true story follows Belén (a pseudonym), who is falsely imprisoned for having an abortion when she really had a miscarriage.latinamedia.coWe Are All BelénBelén is both a reminder and a warning: when abortion is criminalized, we risk harming anyone with a uterus, and it’s already happening. 231918649
phoenixreign.bsky.social @phoenixreign.bsky.social · 05/12/2025The vast majority of companies have zero reason to be contacting me every single day, sometimes multiple times a day. I buy from them like twice per year, and not because they reminded me they existed. 010
phoenixreign.bsky.social @phoenixreign.bsky.social · 05/12/2025As he gets older, I'm assuming he, like most boys, will be taught to reject anything "feminine", and in so doing associate everything feminine as bad, including girls, women, and queer people. This has a devastating ripple affect throughout society. 000
phoenixreign.bsky.social @phoenixreign.bsky.social · 05/12/2025It makes me wonder how much of the conservative gender binary is in any way inherent. At such a young age, the child is already being inundated with messages about who he is supposed to be and what he is supposed to like. He's barely old enough to even talk. 100
phoenixreign.bsky.social @phoenixreign.bsky.social · 05/12/2025I have a young relative being raised by conservative parents. He's only 3, but already darn near everything in his life is determined by his gender. He's told he likes trains, tractors, and trucks, and he listens to Pavarotti so he "knows what a man is supposed to sound like." He's THREE YEARS OLD. 100
phoenixreign.bsky.social @phoenixreign.bsky.social · 04/12/2025He already has. I'm not aware of a single thing he's done that actually benefits us. 2302
phoenixreign.bsky.social @phoenixreign.bsky.social · 04/12/2025I don't want to hear another word about "protecting women's sports" from people who are not athletes in, or fans of, women's sports. 000
phoenixreign.bsky.social @phoenixreign.bsky.social · 02/12/2025Some of us don't, there's a lot of great alternatives now like Brave and DuckDuckGo. Google's search result quality has been plummeting over the years anyway. 011
phoenixreign.bsky.social @phoenixreign.bsky.social · 02/12/2025Workers are not paid based on how much their job benefits society. They're paid based on whatever someone is willing and able to pay them. Let's stop pretending that low-wage work isn't valuable. Those workers deserve better. 000
phoenixreign.bsky.social @phoenixreign.bsky.social · 04/10/2025Companies that refuse to pay their employees well end up with people who are only there because they can't go someplace better. The good employees leave, and the ones that stay do the bare minimum. You end up with a toxic work environment that provides mediocre customer service and terrible products 010
phoenixreign.bsky.social @phoenixreign.bsky.social · 12/08/2025They did see it coming, though. The whole point of checks and balances between the three branches was to protect us from what's happening right now 000
