Well, with all of these interesting new people suddenly arriving, I'm feeling duty bound to up my post count a bit. Therefore, I fully expect to be in double figures by the end of the month. #dreambig

I've only really popped my head around the door of Bluesky so far, but am definitely digging the vibe: laid back, a lot less shrieking and, with "the other place" happily allowing all the rotten eggs into its already stinking basket, pleasantly bigot-free. It makes me feel almost nostalgic.

Heavens, another social media account. It's like 2009 all over again. Now, if we could just forget that the last 15 years ever happened, everything should be just peachy...
