Susannah R @susannahredelfs.bsky.social · 12hWhy do Republicans style their hair like the mascot at Bob’s Big Boy? Their wives have the same ghoulish MAGAt-face and the men have the same silly hair over a soft pudgy face. It’s super fucking creepy. Like monster dolls come to life. 000
Susannah R @susannahredelfs.bsky.social · 13/09/2026The way things are unraveling around here, Atlantis was probably destroyed itself after an ill-advised decision to switch the formula of Coke. 😎 291
Susannah R @susannahredelfs.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Exactly. Refuse to feed them. Resist. Deny them at every turn and wherever possible. And if that doesn’t work, we know exactly where these elites tend to end up. They don’t thrive at all once the societies hollowed out by their parasitical depredations collapse. They cut off their own perch. 040
Susannah R @susannahredelfs.bsky.social · 13/08/2026That series was the joy of my definitely-misspent adolescence. If you’re interested in a gloriously hilarious and stylish homage (with a little Eurovision thrown in), give this fabulous book and its equally faboo sequel a try. 260
Susannah R @susannahredelfs.bsky.social · 08/08/2026I can’t recommend this book enough. Given our convo here, you’ll love it. This guy is a scholar of existential threats to societies, and his book has some new discoveries they’ve made recently in the understanding of what happened to these sites. Plus, it’s a weirdly hopeful book given the subject. 120
Susannah R @susannahredelfs.bsky.social · 07/08/2026When I see images like this from people peddling Mars colonization fantasies, I don’t think of Mars. I think of it as an image of the average city on Earth in the 22nd century, if humanity is organized and/or alive enough to build any. 270
Susannah R @susannahredelfs.bsky.social · 05/08/2026#BookSky This is a gut-punch of a story, as only the incomparable Ursula K. Le Guin could offer. This is the e-book short story cover, but the tale is also included in her two collections: “The Unreal and the Real” and “The Wind’s Twelve Quarters”. “Omelas” is an anagram of her town Salem O(R). 1110
Susannah R @susannahredelfs.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Just another #DogsofBluesky post. Mandy, my loquacious, bodacious little rapscallion of a min pin. A devious cat soul slumming it in a canine body. She is disdaining me here because I was upstairs petting the two kitties. She is a Highlander Terrier—there can be only one. 😎 080
Susannah R @susannahredelfs.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Just using up the rest of the military’s dwindling store of defenses and munitions, after which the over-bloated Pentagon will want to steal even more money from the mouths of our children to buy yet more of what they continue to stupidly waste. 185
Susannah R @susannahredelfs.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Hear, hear. American conservatism truly is a personality disorder. #BookSky 040
Susannah R @susannahredelfs.bsky.social · 16/07/2026If you want to read a well-written “wizard school” series, I recommend Diane Duane’s wonderful “So You Want to Be a Wizard” books. They predate Rowling’s books, are much better written, and probably “inspired” (ahem) Rowling’s series. #BookSky 041
Susannah R @susannahredelfs.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Holy shit. Have to go out in a hazmat suit…welcome to our choking present and prepare for our burning future, brought to us by Capitalism (TM). I’ve never seen such a high rating, and I moved here from CA so I’m used to wildfire smoke in the air. 010
Susannah R @susannahredelfs.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Great novella by Catherynne Valente, about survivors of future climate change eking out an existence on floating islands of ocean garbage that became entire cities…kids would go on vision quests to find their names on pieces of trash: Tetley, Maruchan.They call their ancestors The Fuckwits. #BookSky 080
Susannah R @susannahredelfs.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Thank you, World Market! Formerly and forever known to me as Cost Plus. 7531
Susannah R @susannahredelfs.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Just had a thought that in only a couple of short decades, the movie Idiocracy has gone from parody to prophecy to documentary. Thus do many things come to pass… “Welcome to Wal-Mart, I love you!” 050
Susannah R @susannahredelfs.bsky.social · 04/07/2026The only way to celebrate the insanity of the last 250 days of U.S. history is to pop a disc of Yakuza 0 into my soon-to-be obsolete PS5 Pro with disc drive accessory before Sony comes up with nanites to dissolve all physical discs on Earth. #America250 #GameSky #Yakuza0 010
Susannah R @susannahredelfs.bsky.social · 14/06/2026One of my fave John Cusack movies from that era: 030
Susannah R @susannahredelfs.bsky.social · 10/06/2026If you like to read, this one is an eye-opener: A Resistance History of the United States, by Tad Stoermer. 210
Susannah R @susannahredelfs.bsky.social · 06/06/2026This new beauty just arrived, hot off the presses. We white Americans have been domesticated into hating protest. We’d better remember our revolutionary spirit. #BookSky 161
Susannah R @susannahredelfs.bsky.social · 30/05/2026Just got back from seeing it and it was everything I expected from the show: good fun and interesting subtext. For instance, I noticed how often the point was made that baroque, overblown military from a dying Empire was handily defeated with cleverness, skill, asymmetrical tactics, and low budget. 030
Susannah R @susannahredelfs.bsky.social · 11/04/2026#booksky Getting a chill reading this novel, constructed as a series of satellite phone interviews conducted by an American in 2084. Each chapter he talks to people from different countries about different aspects of the century of global warming. The chapter on American fascism is especially hard. 170
Susannah R @susannahredelfs.bsky.social · 06/02/2026Digging into this new arrival… To know our enemy. #BookSky 1132
Susannah R @susannahredelfs.bsky.social · 30/01/2026Nah. This is an all-American ratfuck. Although he is certainly being played by Putin among others. Many others. Never did I see a bigger whore for money than Trump. 182
Susannah R @susannahredelfs.bsky.social · 29/01/2026More like a cult, it seems to me. Cults always promise space travel! @knittingcultlady.bsky.social And they always empty their pockets out of devotion to their cult leader. 2140
Susannah R @susannahredelfs.bsky.social · 21/01/2026I love my little man Oliver, the tabby cat who plays in toilet water and has paws of thunder when he runs upstairs. 110
Susannah R @susannahredelfs.bsky.social · 21/01/2026💯 Take the oligarchs off the table, and solving the rest of the world’s problems becomes much more achievable. Billionaires are too expensive for the planet to maintain—we can’t afford to keep them. We need to stop this hoarding if we want to succeed. Globally tax them out of existence. 040
Susannah R @susannahredelfs.bsky.social · 20/01/2026Born and raised and residing most of my life in coastal California, my first winter in SE Michigan has proved a challenging adaptation for me. Today it is so cold (0, -7 with WC) the INTERIOR metal lock on the sliding glass door is frosted over, even though it’s 66 inside. 020
Susannah R @susannahredelfs.bsky.social · 12/01/2026This is Oliver. My housemate and I brought him home from the shelter on Christmas. He is a big, beautiful, boy who will be your purring fur lap-robe, and in his less dignified moments can be found playing in the toilet bowl. I told my HM no cat household should have ez-lift toilet seats. 250
Susannah R @susannahredelfs.bsky.social · 06/01/2026Well, because you asked nicely…here’s Mandy, AKA the Cuddle Nugget. 0110
Susannah R @susannahredelfs.bsky.social · 16/12/2025Just be careful when going to fetch water from the well, though, lest you confront Cthulhu in the depths. 030
Susannah R @susannahredelfs.bsky.social · 16/12/2025Just paging through this amazing tome, The Book. What incredible art, and also has surprisingly good tips on rebuilding civilization after the big collapse. Highly recommended…though too tall to fit upright in any of my bookshelves, alas. Destined for the coffee table to get chats going. #BookSky 160
Susannah R @susannahredelfs.bsky.social · 27/11/2025Yes, South Park.Yes, Hegseth is exactly what you say he is. If you’ve watched the latest, you know what I’m talking about. Happy Thanksgiving, to all who celebrate.Whether you do or don’t, I am thankful for you all.Everyone. For our courage, our resolve, and our hope for greater gratitude to come. 041
