Reposted by The BystanderIsanthrope @isanthropia.bsky.social · 03/05/2026I know many of you have seen this but it’s stuck at $507 but not too much left to go. Elizabeth is a real person here in Canada trying like so many to survive disability (enforced poverty). A tiny bit or a repost so someone else could help so appreciated. liz711g@gmail.com x.com/blind_kindne... 022 0
The Bystander @thebystander99.bsky.social · 02/05/2026Oh god this is such a good idea, I’d feel like my rich friends in the ‘90s 😭 030 0
The Bystander @thebystander99.bsky.social · 26/04/2026Dude. I believe in you. You’ll be telling strangers “It’s no problem. Have a good night!” before you know it. They will never know WHY it was, in fact, no problem 110 0

The Bystander @thebystander99.bsky.social · 21/04/2026You really can just find four people these days to say, “SHOULD we just reverse the flow of time to make this do law what we want it to do?” can’t you…? 020 0

The Bystander @thebystander99.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Oh my god, Roland—ROLAND. It is not “undeniably hard to define.” you denied it—Mary Oliver denies it—EVERYONE IS DENYING THAT IT’S HARD TO DEFINE 010 0
The Bystander @thebystander99.bsky.social · 07/04/2026Welcome back. You’re already a model resident again. The squirrels on the block seemed extra chipper today; now it all makes sense ✨ 110 0
The Bystander @thebystander99.bsky.social · 03/04/2026Yes! Just like when we do an East Coast trip and have day games— like tomorrow in DC— we get breakfast baseball here in L.A. Honestly, these are the little things that are making life work right now, and I’m all for it 000 0
The Bystander @thebystander99.bsky.social · 02/04/2026Yeah, really. It’s like out of Satyricon—only the grotesque isn’t a metaphor here, it’s real, and it makes this truly horrifying to live through (with RFK displaying it too). And, as we see over and over again with him, it still wasn’t enough 020 0
The Bystander @thebystander99.bsky.social · 30/03/2026Should anyone need further proof of this, here’s my former lifelong street cat (and Altadena fire survivor) in his adoption photo, with his giant head and terrified eyes—and the glorious Velcro cat he’s become, enjoying his peaceful, warm existence 141 0
The Bystander @thebystander99.bsky.social · 29/03/2026Same. It’s mainly audiobooks for me these days anyway, for exactly that reason, plus disability issues— and the fact that they play, whether I’m reading them or not, forces me to focus a bit. But I’m about to need something new, so this is perfect timing, thank you 000 0
The Bystander @thebystander99.bsky.social · 29/03/2026Knowing the quality of my riffing attempts, though, you’re probably doing me a favor, so…I mean…nice…? 000 0

The Bystander @thebystander99.bsky.social · 28/03/2026There are some things we just never have to grow out of. I’m glad this is one of them 010 0
The Bystander @thebystander99.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Yes!, exactly. I’ve still got some time left, and really not a great option, but better (hopefully) than adrenal crisis, in a pinch. And still won’t solve problem long-term…just a stopgap while I’d sit and wait and hope for things to get better 010 0
The Bystander @thebystander99.bsky.social · 28/03/2026As someone on long-term steroid treatment, this definitely keeps me up at night from time to time. Not a permanent solution, but whenever I’ve tapered to a smaller pill, I’ve always kept what’s left of the higher dose, knowing I can split them up to give me a cushion in case of emergencies 110 0

The Bystander @thebystander99.bsky.social · 27/03/2026Duncan, who wrote this, was a friend of mine when I lived in London. I was at a makeshift cabaret event when he first performed the short story that became this play. A couple of us helped him cover the space in strips of paper with brilliant things written on them. So cool to see this happen 110 0
The Bystander @thebystander99.bsky.social · 27/03/2026Okay; unhealthy standard to hold? Maybe—FOR MOST PEOPLE… 010 0
The Bystander @thebystander99.bsky.social · 26/03/2026Right?! It’s just the really, really lame adult version of pushing you over on the playground 030 0
The Bystander @thebystander99.bsky.social · 26/03/2026He’s headcanoning about you because, I’m pretty sure, you look just like a Hot Topic cashier he was once really into (and has NOT gotten over) 130 0
The Bystander @thebystander99.bsky.social · 24/03/2026Ugh, this IS heartbreaking—both from the perspective of what this specific loss to the agency means, and what its implications are for NASA’S (and all of our) future(s). But wishing you the best on whatever the next step may be 000 0

The Bystander @thebystander99.bsky.social · 23/03/2026Mazel Tov? Wait…break a leg? I don’t know. Something should be the right thing for moving, but I don’t know what it is. Anyway, California sends its regards ✨ 000 0
The Bystander @thebystander99.bsky.social · 22/03/2026Never surprising, always disappointing. Good news, I guess, is that as long as the boyfriend can move as swiftly as Rep. Al Green, he shouldn’t be in any danger 010 0
The Bystander @thebystander99.bsky.social · 19/03/2026I sincerely appreciate that – no question it’s in short supply out there, considering what we’re living through—and I think we probably ALL deserve a little bit more than we’re getting. So thank you, really 020 0
The Bystander @thebystander99.bsky.social · 19/03/2026It’s feeling particularly weird & sad & void-y out there tonight. Fatigue is hitting hard, work is not going well, everyone I’ve been talking to just stopped responding all at once, which just made me feel extra un-likeable. I’m feeling a little sorry for myself, I know. But it’s just where I’m at 250 0

The Bystander @thebystander99.bsky.social · 05/03/2026It’s amazing how often these days a piece of information causes a straight up stomach-dropping-on-a-rollercoaster sensation…and this just may be today’s saddest example 010 0
