To those using "skeet" instead of "post" here on Bluesky. Be aware that this word has many meanings, including a pejorative epithet (in Newfoundland & Labrador) as well as even less family-friendly slang definitions (feel free to look it up).

You know what happens to kids who grow up with unfettered access to books?

They read.

They think critically.

And when they have questions or feel uncomfortable, they turn to trusted adults in their lives & have essential conversations that help them grow.

Be that adult instead of banning books.

I've been asked more often about WHY I'm on Bluesky & what is is etc, so I've created a post which you're free to share with anyone who has similar questions.

Sometimes I say smart things. This quote popped up in FB memories the other day. "The hardest thing about writing is it isn't easy."

I have a new perspective on the term shitty 1st draft. We don't make things from shit; we flush it. I prefer the term sketchy. The writing might be jumbled, slipshod, or confused, but good things are hidden in the chaos. I might write messes, but I don't write shit.

Importing from the other site, but it applies here as well. As soon as I started following these rules, sometime before I articulated them in late ‘21, my experience online improved immensely.
