Buy books from your local bookstores, not from billionaires. If you are worried that they cost a little more, think of it as investing in your local economy. A billionaire does not deserve your money.

#CIBD2025
Canadian Independent Bookstore Day (CIBD) is on Saturday, April 26!

Find a local indie bookstore & check their socials for specials on this day!

I am happy to say the "Followers only" reply setting is getting implemented. We're also adding a way to set default reply settings

If you want your posts to default to "Followers only," that'll become an option

some little bluesky tips 🦋

your blocks, likes, lists, and just about everything except chats are PUBLIC

you can pin custom feeds; i like quiet posters, best of follows, mutuals, mentions

if your chronological feed is overwhelming, you can make and pin make a personal list of "unmissable" people

THE INTERNET IS BUILT ON LINKS
SHARE EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING
SPIN YOUR OWN INTERWEB

About links, bluesky loves them. Please unlearn the link-in-reply tricks you've been doing elsewhere and proudly share your blog posts, videos, or any other external link in your top posts so we can all go and visit your fancy websites and then get back here to discuss and repost them. Thanks!

Not only is X throttling external links, but it is also messing with its public pages. Without an account, you don't see the conversation if you go to a post. Instead, you get ads to sign up. If you visit profiles, the latest posts are not there. Useless for microblogging. Harmful to the open web.

Might’ve accidentally talked way too much about swords in an interview. But it’s true. I’ve always liked swords. Here’s the one my dad made for me as a kid, when I was only about this big. I painted the blade in sparkly silver nail polish to make it shine.
