Complete archive of @geekwithsoul.bsky.social's old Twitter account @geekwithsoul. A nostalgic trip down memory lane for some, a worrying descent into madness for others. 😁

Oh, and hey - my Twitter archive finally finished! I did it a little different in that I set up a separate account (@geekwithsoul-old.bsky.social). This was partly to appease the wannabe archivist in myself and partly just because it felt less intrusive. But I didn't want all that history to be gone

Have you ever had a friend who not only changed your life, but changed *you*? My friend Kylee is that person for me and I'm looking to help her get the mental health assistance she needs.

~40 mins through #TheSnyderCut and I have to say this may be the most self-indulgent work by a director I've ever seen. Snyder has become the Robert Jordan of movies. And I even tend to like self-indulgent mainstream directors (Hitchcock, Lucas, Tarantino, etc)…but yikes 😲

Wow - just got a propaganda robocall from the GOP about Trump and his response to #COVID19. If they're so desperate they're callin *me* (straight Dem primary voter since 1988), they're in dire straits - I mean, I NEVER get GOP fundraising or robocalls.
