If we all find 100 posts to like every day, engagement and good will on @bsky.app grows exponentially.

Is it worth a few minutes to make the platform stronger ?

Definitely needed this. Big thank you to Warren Throckmorton for writing this. I’m 110x more likely to watch the film after reading this thoughtful piece that hit every point I was concerned about.

Just a reminder that your local library has more than just books! Many also have dvds, cds, video games, game systems, internet hot spots, streaming services, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, and so so much more! Maybe it's time for a visit!

Dear ones, may Thanksgiving (for all who observe it) be a time for cultivating a grateful heart, renewing and restoring healthy relationships, enjoying a meal with people who matter to us, and remembering those who are in need. It never is perfect but may we find love and joy in this day anyway! 🙏

Humble plug: I make rosaries (including Anglican) and many other prayer beads and sell them to raise money for my curacy churches. They range in price depending on materials, and I love working on special requests for people. See thread below for pictures, and send me a message if you're interested!
