Oops I forgot Bluesky existed for like three months. 😬 Probably won’t be back either, seeing as I’m dying soon (like, for real) and I’m mostly on Twitter still.

I hate that I’m sick at this specific time in my life. When I first got symptoms, I didn’t have the big(ish), stable social circle that I do right now. Now that I finally have various close friends, I can’t even see them much. #MEcfs ♿️ 🧵

In my reading spreadsheet this year, I've started tracking the amount of words I learn from the #books I read. Some entirely new to me, some familiar but I don't exactly know the definition.
This year, so far, I've learned 1267 words from 91 books. (Not counting audiobooks.) 💙📚 #BookSky

I have a (very necessary) planned nap every day from 1PM to about 3:30-4PM. Usually my alarms notify me that it’s time but apparently I turned them off and now it’s 2PM. 😱 Gotta let my carers know they can come in later… Damn, stupid hyperfocusing brain. 🧠🔨 #MEcfs

I have developed this strange pain in my left shin. Feels like it’s in the bone.
Feels dull, tender, nagging. Hurts especially when touched or with any kind of pressure against it. Worse at night.
Does anyone recognize this? #disability #MEcfs

Op Zalando staan altijd zulke leuke pyjama’s van het merk Next, met toffe printjes. Maar ik heb er ooit een besteld en weer teruggestuurd omdat de stof heel synthetisch en naar voelde. 😭 Nu elke keer als ik die pyjama’s zie denk ik: ik wou dat je anders was… so close to perfection. 🥲

We're in a surge so here's your reminder that while it's best to be infected 0 times, if you've been infected before, just do your best to avoid being infected again. You should always be trying to avoid your next infection. The damage adds up. Your body will thank you later.

It’s ok to be wrong. It’s ok to back up or stop and apologize. It’s weird to double down. It’s weird to refuse to see how you’re adding to a problem. Be better bc you want to show up for people as well as they do for you

Reminder: It is okay to block/mute/unfollow people. You do not need to explain yourself. Social media is your experience to curate. And if someone has an issue with your choice to do so, perhaps they're the asshole, not you.

I've only been here for a couple of days but I gotta say it's weird to go from 4,900+ followers on the hellsite to a measly 13, most of which are 'repostable content' accounts hoping for a follow-back.
I can't wait to get invite codes. Lots and lots of invite codes. I'm so very lonely

I love that I have so many shelves on Goodreads! I started some highly specific shelves too:
big chonkers
character/plot-based
dual/non-linear timeline
kids on cozy adventures
modern classics IMHO
reread-worthy endings
quirky women
pacing fast/slow
when to read [season]

One use for #ArtificalIntelligence I could think of is automatically converting hashtags with multiple words & no capitals to #CamelCase — to improve #accessibility and general readability.
Would be great if that was implemented across all social media.

Are hashtags not a thing on Bluesky? I see people using them but they’re not clickable.
What about the feeds? I can’t find a #MECFS-specific feed yet, should I make one? 🤔
I hope some of the book feeds will become just as popular as #BookTwitter.

Feels quite nice to have a fresh start, even though not everyone’s here yet. I no longer have to worry about tweets from 2009-2013 haunting me. 😂
