Hi BlueSky! I'm a #freelance #digitalPR consultant repping some fab UK clients and am looking to connect with journos and PRs across lifestyle media.

I also have a dog, and #ADHD, and just bought my own home on the south coast.

Come say hi!
I don't know where to post these anymore, but I have some fun stories on the go ahead of Valentine's Day, if anything piques any journo pals' interests?

😍V-day weddings rise by 61% in 2025
😍Swifties make Taylor no.1 wedding singer
😍Cost of weddings now £23k despite cossie livs

I open my Bluesky feed and it is full of really cool people saying really smart things and being really passionate about really interesting stuff.

I like this version of social media, and the world.

Thanks, folks.

Accidently just opened the old app instead of the clock app and had the jump scare of my LIFE.

Do I just delete it? Do I dare?

But what is the scientific reason you feel worse at nighttime than during the day when you are ill?

Can't be temperature - that's been consistent in my house.

Been sniffling all day but 6pm hits and I'm coughing all over again 😭

Bored of it!

Feels appropriate for my first BlueSky post to be a PR call out! 📢

Have you ever used or requested sick leave from work to look after your pet? 🐶

Looking for a case study to be featured in a national PR campaign. Let me know if you can help!

Anyone else's Discover feed either posts from 18m ago or 18h ago? Doesn't seem to refresh as often and I'm seeing the same stuff over and over - do I just need to get following more accounts?

I lied about saving a cat that was stuck up a tree to get a Blue Peter badge. I'm glad Olivia Colman has got one after 50 years of trying.

Interesting to hear that Google already treats Bluesky as ten times more important than X

It’s almost like destroying a social platform with disinformation, hate and lies is making it less trustworthy…

The X exodus - could Bluesky spike spark end of Elon Musk's social media platform?
Even Google appears to trust X less, with one expert telling Sky News the search engine treats X competitor Bluesky as 10 times more important than Elon Musk's platform.

PR (+ Digital PR) pals and journalist friends: Here’s a feed you should follow for #journorequest posts. It’s a little quiet at the moment, but as more of us move over to this app it should become super useful!

I’ve noticed quite a few of you with ‘invalid handle’ next to your names so this should fix that…

One part of our upgraded infrastructure may affect your profile.

If you see your handle now says “Invalid handle,” please reverify it by navigating to Settings > Change my handle > Type in your current handle > Verify DNS Record > Update.

(Basically, update to the same handle.)

Petition to make "Hi, what are you reading?" the conventional greeting.

"How are you doing?" hasn't been appropriate for some time now. Deprecated.
