Just a general reminder that your experience on any social media app depends a lot on what *you* make of it. It is easy to find some annoying people on any platform. But platforms like Bluesky also give *you* way more power to control your own experience and to fix whatever annoys you.

i feel like i've noticed i so often have crashouts before i have time off which SUCKS but at least the one time I somewhat prevented it was when I got sick before. so therefore. i must force myself do nothing for a couple days at least or else i will crash out like my pre-crash out predicts

Research is the MAGIC TIME on any project where I get to go have fun and explore. And 100% what you are looking for are the surprising and amazing details and textures that you could never make up
This is such a misunderstanding of why writers, artists, and designers do research to begin with, which is to find something unexpected, not capture the average or find reference for the default.

And, as always, the biggest misapprehension: We don’t want to NOT do this part. It’s fun to learn shit
Anyone who supports this is an embarrassment. "Instead of typing it out they'll generate their idea"? Are you insane?

Call yourself whatever you want but you aren't creatives, that's for sure.

You'd be amazed how much richer your life and interests feel if you stop calling people "content creators" and instead put a real, tangible name to what they do and what they make
an illustrator's paintings
an essayist's video exposé
a musician's genre-shifted cover
a streamer's challenge run
