Officially a home owner as of today. My plan to move to Amsterdam for a couple of years before heading to Barcelona didn’t quite come true. Here I am 6 years later, settled down with the boy, a dog and now a house. Feeling very grown up.

I know it’s only been a day of properly using, but the level of wholesomeness Bluesky has compared to Twitter is unreal. Why the algorithm thought it was a good idea to constantly serve me crypto, fights and anti-immigrant content despite repeatedly selecting ‘Not Interested’ I’ll never know.
