I’m thinking about leaving the other place, so wanted to check this out. Tried 🧵too! I like reading, and audio books. I’m interested in primary education and politics. Hello 🦋

Hello ✋ First day on bluesky. Hoping that this is better than "the other place" as after Elon Musk's 'interview' with Trump, I finally snapped and googled "where else can I go. Please get me out of here"
Anyway, you're my first interaction. Hope that's ok. (Oh, I'm in Scotland)
You'll definitely find politics here! but much more polite with informed voices, Readers a plenty as well! I think the education side is also starting to blossom from what I've seen around, welcome!
Check out the Feeds and Moderation settings. You have complete control of your experience here, though you should feel comfortable using mute and block.
Hi Sandra!
@quietriotpod.bsky.social has a great starter pack for politics on Bluesky, especially liberal/progressive UK.
Podcast is also well worth subscribing to!
I snagged 2 on reading emotions and responding accordingly (maintaining bonds and generally being more empathetic). I struggle with bond maintainance. Also some dark psychology from the same author (since I'm morbidly curious), and some books on Wicca, since my friend is a Wiccan.
Welcome
Just getting into audio books as a companion for my daily walks.
Mostly find factual ones best for that but completely drawn into Barbara Kingsolver’s “Demon Copperhead” having completed William Kent Kruger’s “This Tender Land” where the American accent gave authenticity to wonderful stories
I like really long books or series of books…. I get them from the library as I only have one book a month from Audible. Recently I’ve enjoyed Demon Copperhead, Hello Beautiful, lots of Taylor Jenkins Read, Shads of Magic trilogy and many more!
hi sandra I've walked to here from the other place, it seems so much more, calm and I'm so hopeing it can be a more friendly kinder place.
Its also nice to have somewhere I can just post my normal stuff like embroidery and drawings I'm so tired of the vicious political arena.
couple weeks opinion:
if you like cats, Brits and small crowds, this is your place.
It is peaceful and a nice Holiday, however but wish more of the heavy hitters from Gomorrah would start posting more here. Cheers!
Hi. Me too. I think the other place is now primarily a bear pit where you go for fights with sociopaths and I have a persona for that. But this place does seem nice.
I came months ago for similar reasons and it's not even tempting to look back. The more the merrier, welcome to your new, less evil, time-wasting text-based social media app!
