My first three lumen prints done at a recent workshop! Excited to explore this process further
A lumen print of a flower with a dark background, the petals and stems have a slight glow from the printing process A lumen print of a pressed flower with a dark background. The leaf extends to the top left of the frame and the petals are pressed towards the top right, both of them slightly transparent and glowing from the printing process A lumen print of pressed flowers on a dark background. Three large flowers extend towards the top right of the frame with bright white centers and some slight greening dead center, with the edges of the petals appearing darker. A smaller bunch of flowers extends in the lower left of the photo, and a smaller bunch pressed bunch of leaves extends in the lower right

Just got served an Instagram ad for a $10K record player/cabinet, and I guess I’m flattered by how much Meta thinks I make

Your cat immediately cleaning themselves after you’ve been petting them has the same energy of someone wiping their hand off after a handshake

There is something so satisfying about seeing a mild opinion that you disagree with, responding aloud to yourself, and then never engaging in an argument online.

A friend asked me for tips on finding your crowd here. I've been lucky in finding cool folks I know from elsewhere & new folks, but it does take a little investigating and work :) So here are a few tips if you're new and wondering where to start (not comprehensive!)

Thanks @kateburgener.bsky.social
How I found my crowd on BlueSky *not about followers #1 Look, it's me! • Upload an avatar [drawing of avatar blob-person, underneath it says: It's me | I make arts] • fill out the bio. Make sure you mention what you do if you're looking for peers/fellow travelers •Make an intro post (so folks can see more of who you are) #2 SEARCH (a little) [drawing of magnifying glass] • Find folks you know from other places (you only need to find a few, BECAUSE...) • Look at the follows/followers of folks you know! Just like in real life, they probably know other folks you do. #ENGAGE [drawing of two faces sharing a heart in a thought bubble] • Post stuff that has something to do w/the people you want to connect with • Comment on posts. On here replies are out front, other people see these and can find you! TIP: set your replies to 0 in Home Feed setting to see more replies NOTE: Comment sincerely and positively, not just to be seen. Avoid sarcasm and irony because they can come off as shitty. #4 FIND YOUR FEEDS! [drawing of blob-person yelling "it's all about feeds!"] • Find/follow feeds that collect what you're interested in... [Liked by 200 users 9with curser arrow pointed at it)] • Look at "liked by" to find folks to follow... [drawing of blob-person w/ hand to chin, saying "hmmmm"] • Inspect the feed to discover terms the feed uses to select posts (some feeds tell you) • Use these terms when posting about the thing (kinda like a #) so more people can find you. TIP: there's no algorithm here, so you can repost your own post without being penalized. You can also repost old posts, it's fine! You don't need to be a "content" machine ♥Rori!

Hey I made a quick welcome guide to BlueSky :)

There's tons more, but I think these few steps will get you up and enjoying it quickly.
So you decided to join BLUE SKY [it's not twitter] #1 upload an avatar #2 set Moderation Settings (box showing moderation hand symbol) Moderation (arrow pointing to) Content Filtering (arrow pointing to drawing of toggle) Toggle to enable Adult Content THEN choose Hide, Warn, or SHOW (star) tip: images are AI moderated so some slip thru & some G-rated images get tagged as "explicit", so "Warn" may be the bet choice atm #3 Go to SETTINGS (box with drawing of toggle) toggle require alt text on images (please ♥) (arrow points to) Home Feed Prefs (star) Use these settings to control seeing reposts & replies on your TL #4 Go to My Feeds Go to "Discover New Feeds" to search for interesting feeds like "Only Posts" Click the "+" to add the feed (box) Go to the (gear icon) [edit my feeds] here you can pin and unpin feeds (side note) pinned feed will appear at the top of your TL Don't forget to "♥" the feed when you click on it to preview, this helps others find it!

My first post and I’m choosing to showcase the ACVI emblem it took me far longer to make than it should have
