My work is done, for the most part. Now the 19 year old son takes over for the heavy lifting. ♥️

This is a terrific explainer on Bluesky and how it works and why, and I recommend reading it for a good basic understanding of the place.

"People are figuring out that they aren't morally obligated to listen to assholes on social media. And Bluesky is actively helping them do that."

Others have noted it but I will too: The big reason Bluesky is so hot right now is that the people who add value to social media - the frequent posters in specific fields - are here now, talking to each other and creating the "spectator value" that draws users and attention.
Twitter’s heir apparent isn’t X or Threads — it’s Bluesky

💯This is important because things are different here

It's great if you like a post, but only if you also repost it will anyone else know about it!

Gotta post each other the way you'd like to be posted in order to grow‼️

Also, you should definitely follow Tim Wise... you won't regret it⤵️
Remember, if someone posts something you really like on here, re-post it, bc unlike the other place, there is no algorithm to boost likes. If we want to get folks' best thoughts seen and create a critical mass of engagement, sharing is key!

Nothing like “crap I need a plot now” to lend impetus to all the other chores you have waiting.

Speaking to someone as if they are not as familiar with the subject matter as you and contextualizing and framing your verbiage appropriately for their comprehension is not the same as condescension. One is potentially a kindness, the other is always a d!ck move.

Today brings to a close his last week of writing without time constraints for my author before he goes back to working for The Man. Then it’s back to the weekend keyboard. Time to tippytap!

Today I edited some. I romanced a murder of crows. I walked out of doors. I talked to a spider. I conspired to help a vulnerable person. I introduced my son to a piece of pop culture from my generation. Time to hug a cockatoo and cook dinner. #averagesaturday

My author: I love what you wrote.
Me: I replaced your bullet points with quotation marks.
Him:…
Me:…
Him: You’re a good writer.
Me: You’re a good writer. I’m a good editor.
