Zinnias have a warm spot in my heart b/c I grew up w/them. My dad always planted a bed full of them near our fence. They bloomed all summer despite constantly cutting them & into early autumn. We gave hundreds to friends & neighbours & mom constantly kept a glass jar of them on our kitchen table.

Saucer magnolia tree outside our local library in bloom and the cosy little fiction section in our library. I'm really going to miss it when they close this library and move into a larger space. I know the new library will be really nice, but there's something so comforting & cosy about this space.

Very rarely. I usually only go there if I get a notification. I'm probably not going to do that for much longer though. In fact, I'll likely delete my account and the app. I'm on FB, Threads, and Instagram much more often. I'm here some too, but still trying to get used to it. My husband is here.

This makes zero sense. What are they getting out of calling it a scam? What's the payoff? Do they think people are treating it like people treated Covid and it's all fearmongering? I'm so confused.

I am with you. It's one of the Church's dogmas that I don't really understand. I'm also annoyed that it's a holy day of obligation here in the US & since today is also the 2nd Sunday of Advent, they've moved the obligation to tomorrow. I really dislike HDOs for a number of reasons.

I voted for her in the midst of my bright red state knowing that my vote wouldn't really count. I feel like that should qualify me for the nice list. If so, I'd love a couple of books from my to-be-read list, an Android tablet for my chorus music, and some chocolate.

One last thing: the pwrn/OnlyFans bot accounts are starting to migrate over to Bluesky too. I've had a few of those try to follow me. Report and block. Report and block.
Y'all stay safe out there.

Generally, they have only a few accounts (if any) following them and they are following hundreds or even thousands of accounts. If someone with an account like this tries to follow you, please report them and block the account.

My working hypothesis is that these are some kind of bots which search for certain keywords in account profiles and then follow those accounts. One key thing that makes me think they're bots is that the number of followers vs followed accounts is extremely lopsided.

The only remotely identifying thing that these accounts share in common with each other is a rather vague picture of some young man who appears to be African (although which country is anyone's guess). That's it. I would swear that I've seen the same picture used at least twice.

I freaking love that you call him Leon. I've been looking for an alternative to use & that is perfect! Also, thanks for lifting up so many of us fans w/all that you do online. Your advocacy for good & right means so much, especially to people like me who are living in bright red areas & feel alone.

I want to apologise if I've ever offended you by my language. I tend to get kinda salty at times and have definitely dropped more than a few f-bombs. I try to have a good reason, but I sincerely apologise if my language has ever come across as egregious in its tone.

It was totally an oversight! Things have been kinda busy over the last couple of weeks and I've not gotten around to finding everyone who migrated from there to here. Hope you and yours are well! Happy Thanksgiving!
