Well, hello, #BlueSkyers. I kept checking this app’s user count every day back in November, but I lost hope.
Breaking News: I have gone total mental and adopted 3, I repeat, 3, kittens. Lovely beasts. Recommend it. House is not as clean, but the patting makes it worthwhile. How are ya’ll doing?

سال نو مبارک
Happy New Year
هر روزتان نوروز، نوروزتان پیروز

One of my projects next year is to learn Latin. I have prepared some resources: Lingua Latina, Wheelock’s Latin and some other resources. Any advice? What can I expect to have learned by the end of the year? How long do I have to study to be able to read Cato, Cicero and Virgil? #latin #linguaLatina

Assad doesn’t deserve asylum. Asylum is the right of those who fled from him. He must be handed to the ICC for trial. He must answer for the imprisonments, disappearances and the biological weapons he used against his people. We mustn’t get entrenched into our ideological position. Tyranny is evil.

Happy to see Assad go. All tyrants must go. Hope Syria will fare well. Hope the Shias, the Christians, the Alwaites and the the Druze will live a safe, productive, progressive and democratic life will their Sunni compatriots.

My only wish to live as long as to see first contact. #first_contact #DS9 #bluesky

A world where one’s hero is another’s villain is a world in contradiction, in conflict. This is one such world. Let’s wish for ideals such that every human can make peace with. I am not trying to start a cult, way the way. #Humanism. #multiculturalism #moltipolarity #Bluesky

No matter how slow the rate of growth of #Bluesky_user_count, don’t reactivate your X. Why in the hell would you want to make elon musk happy. De-capitalisation of elons name and the forgoing of apostrophe in this is sentence is intentional, mind ya.

Bluesky user count increase is slowing. Are we doomed to go back to X? #Bluesky #deleteX

Your lips, with the delicacy of poetry
Turns the most lustful kisses to a shame
That a cave-dweller can use to transform to a human
…
In me was a cruel felon
Who couldn’t get used to the sound of their chains
I began with your first gaze

- Ahmad Shamloo

لبانت به ظرافت شعر
شهوانی‌ترین بوسه‌های را به شرمی چنان مبدل می‌کند
که جانداری غارنشین از آن سود می‌جوید
تا به صورت انسان در آید
…
در من زندانی ستمگری بود
که به‌ آواز زنجیرش خو نمی‌کرد
من با نخستین نگاه تو آغاز شدم
…

1. Bluesky doesn’t have fact-checking yet. White terrorists will overrun here too.
2. There is no darfting. You can’t save your #blues for later.

Bluesky doesn’t have reels, yay! #leaveX

I deleted X, deactivated my account. I feel like X lost a lot of value by no longer having me as a user. #leaveX #BlueSky

Bluesky will replace X. Just keep posting and making chatter.

How we fooled ourselves all those years ago that the future will be better! I have fear of concentration camps and nuclear war flinging around my head every day.

Glad to be here. Hope it is a good alternative and folks can bring back the humane face of Twitter going here. X is like 1933 Berlin. People are being openly genocidal down there.
