For the foreseeable future I'm putting that stuff on a diet / leash. I have American family & friends, who will just have to find their own ways out of their wilderness.

Yes, and I was impressed reading the site's "about" info and history.

We need to be good to ourselves as we continue to process recent events & understand the profound systemic challenges & realities across wide swaths of American society which coalesced into this seemingly unbelievable election result.

Good stuff. I just joined blue recently and am slowly adding people I follow on X ...maybe one day soon a critical mass will be reached & BS will become the new "town square".

I just joined BS seeking a space where truth & respectful discourse is the norm. I'm staying on X for now, since I un-followed lots of toxic profiles & managed to reset the algorithm but so far BS is a nice place !

Still standing here in the rain clutching a fistful of tickets watching as the horses are led back to their barns, wondering if I'm really alive or is this a really bad dream....
