Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Originally, Blue Checks served a very important purpose - trustability. They prevented impersonation & disinformation.
BlueSky solves that with Domain Names.
If you are an expert, a science communicator, a journ*list, a public figure - consider making your domain name your BlueSky username.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
If you already have a domain, setting your username to that domain name (or a subdomain) is easy.
If you don't have one yet, and just need a Top Level Domain for a username, BlueSky partners with NameCheap to make that easy.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
So far the "hard sci-fi" criticism I have of The Expanse (outside of the Dark Matter realm physics of the macguffin) are two things,
1. Epstein drive (minor, no big deal)
2. interplanetary railguns accurate to what must be incredible fractions of arcsecond. (Major, sucked me out of suspension)
Extimate Space (@extimate-space.bsky.social):
Do you recall where we encounter interplanetary railguns in The Expanse? Earth and Mars stick them on sufficiently sized ships and orbital platforms and Laconia has its fancy alien railguns but I'm struggling to place any interplanetary batteries that aren't just torpedoes.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
The 5 MCRN stealth ballistic platforms, deployed around the solar system, were taken out by Earth's planetary defense railguns - presumably because of the immense speed necessary to successfully carry out such a strike
Unanticipated induction failure mode, tho
Extimate Space (@extimate-space.bsky.social):
ah gotcha - I wasn't mentally including the orbital railgun platforms as interplanetary batteries - was thinking I had perhaps missed surface guns. Thanks!

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

So wait women are showing up at nick Fuentes's house and harassing him now in person? Be careful out there, but also holy shit that's amazing.
Karl (sad trombone noise enthusiast) (@brainnotonyet.bsky.social):
I'm just gonna say the thing which is I'm not sure why antifascist haven't been just doing this shit for years. This is the stuff that had to be happening right after Trump lost the first time. And as we are seeing it works. He's afraid and moved in with his mother.

Wolflawyer (@wolflawyer.bsky.social):
Why aren't you at his house Karl? Whose houses have you gone to?
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
The functional, psychological distinction between pepper spraying someone who rings your doorbell vs opening fire on protestors on the sidewalk vs bitcoin payments to hire a brawl squad to roll up & open fire on the street are so fine as to be without significance.
Brave? Yes. Also foolish.
Karl (sad trombone noise enthusiast) (@brainnotonyet.bsky.social):
Managed risk is going to be the only way forward now
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
I don't live in the [redacted] city of [redacted] state wherein resides Fuentes in his home on [redacted] street or I might have been the first one up there on his stoop, knocking, all ready with a "Remember Me, Nicky?! When I killed your subreddit I Talked Just. Like. Thiiiiiiiis"

Hi @skywitches.net can you add to the transphobes block list please?
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
I'm waiting for him to say something actionable on this site. His earlier behaviour made Wikipedia notability thresholds which is why I'm watching his account.
Sandra is on deadline 67.3k/??? ✨🤓✨ (@sgwong.com):
Thanks for replying. I appreciate the reasoning and for the conscientiousness. I'd guess I'm not the only person asking you for this..! And thanks for the block list in general 🖤
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
It's super important that the blocklist criteria be transparent. Sometime last year I typed up explainers for all my lists but it was like 7 pages & needs serious condensation!

rockwell r1
merkur super platinum
geo f trumpers
tin cup
old makeup brush
broken shaving mirror
face cloth
charcuterie board
milk jug
gwencatmads (@wheneverends.bsky.social):
when i first transitioned i struggled with shaving, getting close without irritating my skin
started out with a mach 3 and a can of blue foaming goo
learned that women's razors have a slightly different angle
but even using mens with the grain and venus against and it was irritating and expensive
gwencatmads (@wheneverends.bsky.social):
so i did a little research, not too much
and learned just enough to get what i consider a passable shave without hurting my skin
and i didn't have to invest a lot to get going
gwencatmads (@wheneverends.bsky.social):
razor: rockwell r1
getrockwell.com/products/rockwell-r1-double-edge-safety-razor
this is pretty cheap
easy to use with a screw-tight hinged head
mechanism gets a bit stiff with shaving soap residue but bronners castille soap washes that out
gwencatmads (@wheneverends.bsky.social):
www.kentofinglewood.com/products/mer...
worth the upgrade from the cheaper ones for my skin
flip them over to get a second use
then strop them for two more
i strop them fresh too, cause knicks suck
i use an old leather belt but you can improvise something i'm sure
gwencatmads (@wheneverends.bsky.social):
www.trumpers.com/product/rose...
this stuff smells so nice, no idea if it's worth it
but a tube lasts months so i don't feel it's such a splurge
you can lather it straight on your face, just make sure to use plenty of water
more water
still more
if it's too thick the razor can stick
gwencatmads (@wheneverends.bsky.social):
tin cup and old makeup brush
brushes is where you can spend a shit ton of money and for what
put very little soap, like so little, in the cup and mix with a wet brush until smooth
then add water until it's barely thick enough to stick to your face
gwencatmads (@wheneverends.bsky.social):
always soak your face with a hot we cloth first
softens the hairs, relaxes the skin (why i shave in the tub)
can use a handheld mirror in a pinch
but my hands shake so i have to stabilize against the wall of the shower
gwencatmads (@wheneverends.bsky.social):
the hardest part is finding the right angle, not too steep
second hardest is being gentle, no pressure
lastly is the grain of the hair
i like to go with the grain, then across it
against the grain for a closer shave, but can be more irritating
gwencatmads (@wheneverends.bsky.social):
oh and the milk jug is just nice to keep full of hotter, cleaner water
so i rinse the blade in the tub, and then in the hot water, for a nice clean hot blade against my skin

This is stunning in the most literal sense. If this is even a minority of the motivation around Trump's win, the split in American politics looks permanent. There is no 'reaching across the aisle' with Nazis.
