The hardest part about editing your own book is deleting. I used to ask, will I miss these words, will I miss this part of the story?

I have about 1/3 of the followers here that I have on the other place, but the engagement here is a lot more fun & interesting, & it feels happy. I really hope this lasts. We need a public marketplace of ideas!

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