Just in time for the holidays - @tungohan.bsky.social has turned insults into sweet sweet profit. Check out her brilliant podcast @academicaunties.com and its online shop: www.academicaunties.com/shop/

@whodge77.bsky.social thank yo so much for being on top of things!!!

I’m so grateful to dump the former Twitter and see this finally fill that space. I liked mastodon but it was so hard between the different spaces people accessed, to connect. (For me anyway).
