The thing about Twitter versus Bluesky is that the right needs liberals on Twitter to make it feel worthwhile, whereas the left doesn’t need conservatives on Bluesky to make it feel worthwhile.

A young couple, about 20, shared a sweet embrace and a tender kiss at the train station. It was lovely to witness their affection. Showing kindness and compassion towards our loved ones is essential for building strong relationships, especially during these times.

Musk is starting to freak out about Blue Sky, expect Bsky links to start breaking or be marked as unsafe on X. Being here is a major blow to the regressives attacking democracy. That doesn't mean we'll be safe as they aren't far behind, however this space will at least give you a fighting chance.
