I saw @mickey17movie.bsky.social today and I loved it!!! It’s deliciously absurd, wild and wacky. BUT it provides a commentary punch on things such as Trump, the working class, Indigenous rights, and photo-op politics vs true diplomacy. Excellent.

Woohoo!!! Thank you everyone, for getting me to 100, lol! It will take awhile to get to the level I was at elsewhere - but good things take time to build, and I’m liking it here.

Okay… I’m so close to getting over 100 followers. I like a good challenge. Let’s do this!

So, I’ve been doing Christmas stuff for days now and it’s still not done. I’ve learned I enjoy apres shopping (lunch and festive cocktails) more.
