Like many others, I left Twitter as it doesn't align with my values. Don't need to talk about, please. Joined Instagram. We have to use Instagram on our mobile. How *inaccessible* is that.

If I could make a plea for BlueSky, it’s this: Please make a point of sharing links to articles, essays and more that you LOVE, that you enjoyed, that expanded you in some way.
I’m always surprised by the dominance of hate-shares, complaint shares on here. And I think it has a riptide effect.
