Finally got myself a public #library card. I'm a bit disappointed in myself for not having one most of my adult life so fat. Times change.

I preferred these guys as incompetent villains in a children's movie; less so, as literally the kind of people to run our government.

It's not a problem by any means, but the first people I followed on Bluesky were gay men. So my Discover feed (Popular With Friends) is about 50% gay thirst traps.
The ratio is going down as I expand my following count, but it's a bit of a shock on occasion.
People really put it all out there. 😅

When you become chronically ill, your world shrinks.
You can’t do a lot of the things you used to. People disappear. It can be an isolating existence.
That said, you learn to slow down, simplify your life & reject rampant consumerism.
These skills will be invaluable when facing what’s to come

If u didnt laugh at a joke it’s okay
If u didnt get scared during a story it’s okay
If u didnt connect with a character it’s okay
View movies, stories, books, music, art etc from a larger perspective. You can still respect something and pull back from centering urself in things that arent for u !

Ah, nothing like a power outage timed to car alarms and sirens to give you that post apocalypse vibe.

I hope everyone knows that it's very easy for any social content platform, including Bluesky, to be a misery machine and that if you aren't intentional about it, they will absolutely decrease the positive impact you have on the world while making you less happy.

I wanted to know the number of people affected by the #polygon layoffs...I soon realized @polygon.com had until very recently been my number one trusted source for good reporting on such things...curious.

This may be one of the worst times to be posting art online. So many platforms being swamped with AI, spammed with aggressive bots and algorithms that will hide you until you play their silly secret games. What else can we do but ride it out? 🐻 #TheBearMinimum

I actually hate the "lol the giant asteroid will deliver us from this suffering" jokes.
Are there any other people in the progressive movement who think that humans are actually fucking amazing?

I have feelings about giving up on Facebook entirely...but its issues and my fears for its future are undeniable. As we all navigate a shifting social media landscape, I know I'd like a platform that I can curate in a way I don't have a Pavlovian fear response to avoid notifications.

Spending many weeks agonizing over what my first Blue Sky post should be.
Here's my first post on Blue Sky. Now I don't have to worry about that part anymore.
