I am on the other place hanging on by a thread for the US election, Niall Harbinson and this guy, Matt and his Dandy and Spike, SO pleased to find him here.
Hey. So since Twitter is being awful I guess I’ll start posting stuff here too. Likely won’t bring everything up to date, but here is the original video of Dandy finding me.

So pleased to read this, being on lists identified, without right of reply or evidence, as a war criminal supporter and follower of bigots and anti-trans has gnawed at me and justified not using my real name. Ngl, it has soured my experience here.
Good things are coming to Bluesky, especially list moderation
I can’t count the number of times I’ve seen people added to toxic lists on Twitter by bad actors, conspiracy theorists, toxic activists, and so on

Stupidly excited to find what I think is a raptor pellet on my patio. It’s a mixture of bone and feathers and gristle. Could it be? #nature

Bluesky is now complete. Shiv has reposted RICE TRUCK. If you didn't see it first time round, here it is. Actually, best if you read through the thread slowly, as you would have experienced it when it was being live tweeted and all of Twitter (ok, most) was waiting for the next installment....
4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day.
On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day
So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga
