I was part of the early wave who left Twitter before the rename. After a lengthy time of being a social media vagabond, I’ve decided to land here on Bluesky. It seems appropriate since my Spirit Insect is a butterfly! #BlueskyPhoto

We just saw Kate Winslet‘s movie that she directed called “Goodbye June”. We were very moved by it. The reality of the actor’s performances was amazing. Kate herself, who is a wonderful actress knows how to get performances out of her actors!
