I’ve been trying this thing where I read books instead of doomscroll and I’m thinking of restarting Breath of the Wild to get me off my goddamn phone more often but I did just put Bluesky on my home screen in the spot Twitter has been for well over a decade.

Or maybe Tears of the Kingdom?

I feel like critical mass might be about to tip over to here and I’m so torn between diving in and feeling like I should take advantage of Elon Musk actually managing to do what I never could: breaking my extremely unhealthy Twitter dependency.

It is very striking that while the people I follow on both platforms are pretty similar, the algorithm suggestions on Threads are an absolute nightmare of inanity. Meanwhile, the “what’s hot” over here, which I assume is similarly intended, is almost entirely exactly my vibe.

Really loving this thing where one asshole white dude billionaire ruined the place where the proles hung out and made our little jokes and now we have to decide which OTHER asshole white dude billionaire we can most stomach further profiting from our little jokes

I’ve had the same profile photo and no cover photo on Twitter since 2008 so it feels like the end of an era that I just uploaded new photos for both over here. My profile photo was from 2005!

(Sorry to burst the bubble of anyone who thought I was 24. I also don’t usually wear a wedding dress.)
