Going through depression after the election, wading through the X cesspool, then coming to a warm post election greeting at Bluesky feels a bit like George Bailey getting all the love at the end of "It's a Wonderful Life."

This is my favorite movie of all time, and I thought about it a lot after the election. I'm glad I wasn't the only one. I'm glad we're in "It's a Wonderful Life" season. 🎄
It's only four years and like every human being, some day that horrible man will die and be buried on one of his golf courses. I hope I live long enough to see that glorious day.
I struggled so much after the 2016 election. It became my mental rock bottom. The best thing you can do is surround yourself with loved ones and like minded people. Find a hobby that can distract you. Limit how much you watch the news/doomscroll.
When you know the background of the actor James Stewart going through deep depression after his serving in WWII you can understand. We can hold on to hope and ring a 🔔 as there are angels out here.
it's sad that you all are finding some peace here when 25m+ are on list to be transported to concentration camps, to countries they've never known, denaturalized because of their faith-but sure kumbaya
Wonderful Doc ..Great analogy
BlueSky is truly a breath of fresh air...
I stay on Twitter because that's where we have to fight
Then I come over to BlueSky
and I feel like it is my safe haven
So
Thank you BlueSky
Thank every one of you !!!
Namaste`
I went through the same process. So much better on bluesky, like when Dorothy came out of the forest and into the land of Oz, nothing but light and love.
Stay away from X, it is terrible ow. Don't live in that negativity, it's just not helpful. Take care of yourself and we will roll up our sleeves and fight again. The analogy of George Bailey is perfect...
My Election depression has improved by making the decision to come to this warm and fuzzy platform! Best act of defiance I have done WITHOUT losing all of my friends from Xitter; plus I have gained many new ones! No spells or hexes on trolls required!🔮
The atmosphere is great here!🦋
True Doc and you are a great person to follow
Hope you get to 50K and more
For me it took years and years to reach 30K on Twitter
I am overwhelmed that in this short time here on BlueSky I have 35K
Thank you all so much
We're all in this together

It's crazy to think the movie was not a success when it came out and gained its cult following after the years or re-runs.
To me, it's one of those classics that even though there's some parts/ideas are dated, the underlying message still rings true.
"I see skies of blue
And clouds of white
The bright blessed day
The dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world" Louis Armstrong

I just joined two days ago. We must all remain vigilant.

I watched “Mr Smith Goes to Washington” today. Tomorrow I’ll watch “It’s a Wonderful Life.”
The atmosphere is great here!🦋
The general ambiance and structural friendliness here is such a welcome change from the troll farm that X has become.
