Hi all! Apparently introductions are cool here so: I’m a music teacher by day but on the internet I write stories and songs (or think about it) and dabble in a variety of physical and digital art media. Recorder is my favorite instrument. I like to go feral about my friends’ writing and art.

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

Something lovely for the weekend! A very good boy! 🐾🐕😍

A fellow author got told not to promote her own books on bsky. So let's go over this:
1. Don't enjoy someone's posts? Don't expect them to cater to you. Move on.
2. Fantasy/horror readers: Check out @bookspotlight.bsky.social's books Bailuchien & These Violent Nights. 2 of my fav reads this year.

It's a day late but I am grateful for ART. I am grateful that both making and enjoying others art helped me survive the tough times in life and that I get to continue to make it and that people care about it!

I have a bad case of the craft hops right now, so please enjoy my beaded spider for my best friend’s winter solstice gift. It will eventually be turned into a pin or brooch I think… not sure yet. I’ve never done bead embroidery before this but I’m hooked.

so my partner of 8.5 years and I are no longer together and while it is mutual and on good terms and all I. Still don’t know what to do with that. I am trying to be brave about it, by which I mean I’m consuming 3 forms of media simultaneously and learning a craft so I don’t have to think.

I just want the first thing you read today to be this: it's going to be okay. We are going to get through this together. We will fight back together and prevail, just like last time.

In < a week on Bluesky I’ve interacted with more people than I ever did on the other site. Maybe I was bad at the other site or maybe people here are really kind. Or both!!

Greeting you on Bluesky with this reminder

They are living, thinking, feeling beings

And they deserve our respect, even if we haven't earned theirs.

One love

Octavia Butler being a time traveler or seer, will forever be a hill I'm willing to die on, because there's just no way. Parable of The Sower was published in 1993. Look at this date. #BlackBookSky #BookSky

Imma need some of you to think about thriving out of spite. I had big plans for 2025 and I’m definitely not gonna pre-derail them for likes of Elin and Tromp. I’m getting more involved. Loving harder. Writing hornier. Having more fun. I’m gonna be so kind to my neighbors, bitch.

Creator friends

Instead of saying "I love this BUT I should do better"

Try "I love this AND I can do better"

Continue a positive thought rather than immediately countering it w/a negative one

It's okay to be proud of your progress AND know there's room to improve

It's my birthday today!
So I guess maybe it's time for asking (nicely) people to share my art?
(Hi, I'm Edouard and I am awkward around people. Ask me about my favorite painters or architectures and you'll see)

#OnThisDay - 17 November - in AD 9 Titus Flavius Vespasianus (my fave!) was born. As the 'last man standing' at the end of the Long Year that was AD 69, he inaugurated the Flavian Dynasty. #AncientBluesky 🏺

I'm not in an echo chamber. I'm singing with the choir. Each of our lives and experiences bring harmony and joy to the songs of our lives.

And the best part about a choir? People can rest as needed and the song remains.
