Reposted by Mike SarastiThe Haunting of Emily AF 👩🎤✨ @rockstarelise.com · 04/10/2026Yes, there are horrors, but I want to lift up Trans joy! The process of becoming myself has been the single greatest experience of my life. Like all of us, I have plenty of fear, but I won’t let it rule me, because that is what our enemies want. I am alive, which is something I never was before.  1145

Even shows which originally had ad breaks, where there was an obvious break in the narrative for it, don't have the ad breaks put in those places now 1642876
Mike Sarasti @sarasti.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Not sure I’ve ever seen this issue cover. Stunning. My strange introduction / first X-men issue I picked up in the early 90’s was a Forge story. I hope the love story between these two is given its due respect in future films. (Like, just make a whole movie about Storm and Forge). 032

History must document the names of all those responsible. They must be vilified for eternity. 071

Mike Sarasti @sarasti.bsky.social · 08/08/2026I was a big fan of Ray of Light at the time. My intro to William Orbit - someone I’ve increasingly respected over the years for crafting such a tasteful take on electronica. I recently purchased Blur’s 13 (still haven’t heard it) after learning Orbit produced it. I’ll be giving it time this week. 143

They're not a business started by the state to "win" over private chains. They're a state institution existing solely to provide affordable options to the residents of the city. They're serving, not competing. 2152

Fascists are desperate, but attempt to portray invincibility & power. They’re residual culture, attempting to be emergent. 521256

Mike Sarasti @sarasti.bsky.social · 13/04/2026Another aspect of this is that organizations who want to be data-driven are doing this with whatever sliver of data they have… it’s often a little corner of the picture that happens to be easy to store neatly in a DB… and this often isn’t the data you need for the matter at hand. 020
