Just to let you know, I could add many more items to the profile list, but I wanted to fit the recommendation windows. You can add:
Feminist
Anti-cruelty to people
Anti-cruelty to animals
Costco member 🤣
Pro-science
And probably a shitload of other good things I don’t have room for.

As soon as I find out how to do it, I created a GoFundMe fundraising page for a dear friend who is going through bad times, and need a URL or button to get there.
What do I need to do? I'd like to hear from someone who's done it (add a button to BlueSky for a GoFundMe page)

For those of us who hoped that Kamala would win, does any of us really think that MAGA would stand by peacefully and let her walk into the White House on Inauguration Day?
We’d be in the same situation we are now, but with a literal blood bath as well.
I’m fucking angry

I’ve been contributing to Substack and neglecting Bluesky, which has been the wellspring of my thoughts, feelings, and opinions. It’s still a place where caring people congregate and boost each other’s morale when there is so much to drag it down. My long essays on Substack are fruit of this.

From the frying pan into the fire — I was celebrating my newly recovered ability to walk, at a special event at the zoo. Then I fell. Broke my left arm at the shoulder.
I could at least type stuff into the computer before this break. Now it’s too hard to be a regular thing.

For those of you who are holding your breath, my healing has accelerated. I generally walk around the house without my cane. In fact, I can’t find it when I need it. I have to put an Air Tag on it.

I’m making a lot of grammatical errors lately, without the benefit of weed. Forgive me if you can’t understand a damn thing I write. It isn’t always my ADHD. Sometimes it’s lack of sleep. Sometimes it’s my fingers declaring their independence.

I’m so happy you decided to stick around Bluesky. Because you know who appropriated the color orange, I’ll use “pumpkin” instead.
You’re such a sweet person, too, and funny in a good way.
Seriously, when you think you need help, ask for it here. Your friends will help.

I’m able to walk a little without a walker and cane. I can go up and down stairs. I now have a rollator (one of those contraptions with four wheels and a place to sit if necessary) so I can go on really long walks, up and down steep hills, Safeway, Costco, and other places.

I don’t think I said this before, but I try to encourage trans women in every phase of their lives, including fighting the genocide that Trump and his right wing goons are inflicting upon them. Please, join me in this endeavor. It will make us all feel more human.

I’m finally home after weeks of recovering from a broken hip and rehab so I can walk, go to the bathroom, climb stairs and all that good stuff. Glad I can now get back to the important stuff — you.

While I’m flattered by invitations for love or sex from Bluesky followers, I’m not available. I will block the obvious ones and will not follow back the subtle ones, then block them when their mask of subtlety drops. Sorry. Not sorry.

All that saved my self image when I realized that computers were too complex for me to understand, or my skills were no longer up to the job of reverse engineering, is that I stopped caring and took up a new vocation. Also, I retired from tech work. I’m now an author.

I fixed email. I’m not at all sure how. Up until 2000, I was able to poke around in hardware and code, and figure out all the details of how computers and software work. That ability served me well but deteriorated over time. Now that information has been locked down, I don’t know shit anymore

I’m getting out Wednesday morning, but have to prepare my house to accommodate a walker. It makes me almost twice as wide, and both me and my wife are sorta hoarders. In my case it’s the ADHD— before I’ve finished one obsessive project, I started 3 new ones. And I can’t make email work.

I’m gradually increasing my activity here (and in Substack) because I can’t just let the world go by without protest. I can’t even leave my bed until I can walk 100’ unassisted and climb 6 stairs. So, I have to outrun the march of time, not very easily. Who knew?

It’s been a long time since I dropped a message, because I dropped literally, on the street in front of my house and went to the ER early Tuesday morning, with a broken hip. I still don’t know if they replaced or did a patch job, but until now I didn’t have sufficient internet access

I may be descending into clickbait territory. I don’t need or want to be popular on Bluesky. I’m just trying to inspire thoughtful posts that express valid, nonviolent, opinions and facts. Criticism of people’s actions, not ad hominem attacks. It’s tempting to say awful things. Too tempting.

I’ll need to check out all the “Follow Back” folks. No trolls, racists, seductresses of any orientations, no Nazis, no robots, [takes deep breath] may apply. Of course I appreciate followers and likes, but my feed is too voluminous, and some shady folks could try to break in.

I need to wait until the traffic thins out a bit. There are a lot of good posts, expressing anger and despair, also a love for trans human beings that hopefully will energize all of us
But some posts read like resignations. It’s understandable, but please hold back. Wait a while, cool down a bit.

I’m done for the day. I spend too much time with Bluesky. But I’ll be back soon. Tomorrow (Feb 3) I’m going to make a hopefully peaceful visit to the State House to lobby for transgender support. They have constitutional rights in this state, but need financial support to move here from red states.
