I just don't have it in me to muse philosophically about the days to come but I also have no interest in hopelessness or despair. I'm just gonna keep carrying on, watch out for my own and count the days to the mid terms. Protect your mental health. This place is becoming a trauma vortex

As Bluesky picks up steam and passes 20,000,000 users, a necessary safety reminder:

As popularity grows, it's now real target for scammers and bots. There are very few companies/government agencies here. Be extremely wary of any account claiming to be one. Don't provide any personal info to them!

Hello everybody guys.

Take care of yourselves first and foremost. Whatever that means, lean into it without apology. Because you can't take care of anyone else or fight or resist unless you're ok first. So do whatever you gotta do to get there. Don't let them take that from you.
