I learned some stuff about Bluesky I did not know by reading this.

Maybe worth passing it on to others so we can all start getting the full benefit of the 🦋.
Here’s some cool stuff you can do with Bluesky
It’s not just an Alf pics repository.

An underestimated aspect of Bluesky is that a much higher percentage of folks here seem to have reading comprehension skills

Never forget: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So never stop sharing books with kids. Never stop reading to them, and helping them to read. Never stop changing lives. #literacy #kidlit #books

“BlueSky’s remind us:
we are not the weight we carry,
but the wings we forget.
We are dreams stretching beyond limits,
souls tasting infinity through human breath.
The storm may howl,
but brighter days are a promise,
not a possibility.” ©️MustafaSantiagoAli #Poetry #Resister #ProudBlue #Healing #Joy

Man...it is just freaking hard to stay engaged with what's going on in the world right now. I know there are a few bright spots, but the heavy is feels especially heavy...
