Hey Bluesky folk, I just wanted to wish everyone a peaceful day. Take actions if you can to stand up against fascism and protect the vulnerable and our planet; if no actions are possible, or when the actions are done, rest, have a cookie, wrap yourself in kindness - may you be well and safe 🌷

No algorithm, no far right, and the culture here is "just block" rather than "debate". If it's a creepy guy or a TERF, people let each other know so we all do the same thing.

I’m seeing many within the chronic illness and COVID cautious communities express hesitation and despair over having to rebuild on another social media site.
They’ve found community on Twitter - in spite of its flaws.
