is this where everyone is posting about how this might be the place where everyone posts but then we all stop posting because we don’t know what to post beyond posting about the thing itself and then it inevitably becomes another thing we all forget to check?

The best note-taking system is whatever’s closest to you when inspiration strikes

it’s been nearly a week since I’ve posted here or on the bird app

guess I’m feeling burned out by it all?

like, publishing all my thoughts feels unnecessary??

quick reminder that you don’t exist solely to work and make money

if I heard the phrase "follow your aliveness" a few years ago, I would've scoffed because it sounds too woo woo

but I've found it focuses my energy in an elegantly succinct way

another nice side effect of this is that today, a Saturday, feels like Sunday

so it feels like I have a bonus weekend day

and I’m also totally okay with it
my daughter has Friday off from school tomorrow so now today, a Thursday, feels like a Friday to me too

and I'm totally okay with it

between blue sky and Substack notes, I'm resisting the urge to be terminally online right now
April 11, 2023 at 10:42 PM
yesss, this is the way
if there was ever a time for each of us to be the change we wanna see on social media, it's right now 🌱✨
y’all have great power over the future of the vibes here now

I feel like I'd be good with just using blue sky and Substack notes for my social media and be totally fine with that

I used to cringe at the word vibes

but I’m here for the blue sky vibes

let’s try to keep these vibes

because these are good vibes

there has to be some sort of law where people always pick a meeting time in calendly during a time when I forgot to block off my calendar

because it seems to happen every, damn, time

at a family Easter thing and we did a egg hunt for the kids with, checks notes, 258 plastic eggs 👀🥚

realizing now that I’m sorta part of tpot

I’m still not exactly sure what tpot is besides people who generally seem like they have positive vibes?

but I’m here for it

and I think that’s why blue sky feels better to me than other apps I’ve tried like mastodon, lens, and farcaster

feeling this

part of the issue for me on twitter has been following my interests, which can make following me confusing since my tweets might be all over the place

I think a lot of people feel like they need to stay within a niche or whatever

but I’m personally okay with being more true to myself
in the excitement of being here, i’ve read multiple times people saying how happy they are to unburden whatever twitter was for them and how they want to start over or show a new side

that feels so sad… why cant we just fucking be ourselves? sigh

(i’m speaking to myself more than anyone else)
