I like to imagine what went through Lauren Boebert's head when she signed up for Cameo.
"Why haven't I done this earlier? Why did Santos and Gaetz wait until they were no longer in the House? Oh well, must not be a problem."

I'm a devout social media hater generally (reformed former digital marketer), but mine jaded eyes do feel somewhat heartened with bsky so far. Though in sobriety terms, after four years (nearly to the day) of being off social, it feels like a relapse to be here. I joined because this 👇 is cool.
