Do we think that we'll see more Spirit Halloween stores now with all the federal office closures? Or do we think the deep horror of reality is enough that we won't need any store-bought?

I need to write a version of that Johnny Cash "man, I've been everywhere!" song except it's just listing off all the linux distributions I've used so if someone suggests to me a linux distribution I can just start singing

When posting images, add alt text! Why? - Helps visually impaired & neurodivergent. - Helps your post gets discovered. - If Internet is slow, people see alt-text instead of images. - If text in image hard to read, alt-text can help. More tips: publish.obsidian.md/debbieohi/al... #BlueSkyTips

Please tell your kids, every damn day if necessary, that chatGPT is not a goddamn search engine and you shouldn’t believe a word it says. Tell the adults too, but it’s especially imperative to inoculate kids against this

Seeking resources on how to self-publish short stories and essays. What platforms or tools do you use to self-publish? How do you promote your work? I know these are big questions so any links to long-form answers (books, blogs, etc.) are much appreciated. #AuthorSky #BookSky

This is gross, not only because of the obvious potential for emotional exploitation to commercial ends. There's also a clear path between this and tech that attempts to measure fear, anxiety, and other "negative" signals at e.g. security checkpoints, or any public space with cameras.

Some random Nazi made dozens of accounts to try to harass me today when blocking malfunctioned, & *still* failed because not one single person engaged. It seems everyone on Bluesky got the memo. React to nothing. Starve them out. They're so desperate for a crumb of attention. Deny them.

Hot take, you're actually an amazing writer who's making progress every day regardless of if you write or not. Creating and resting goes hand in hand with making art. Both are important. Go at your own pace, hype up, and believe in yourself, improve your craft. You've got this.

Imma need some of you to think about thriving out of spite. I had big plans for 2025 and I’m definitely not gonna pre-derail them for likes of Elin and Tromp. I’m getting more involved. Loving harder. Writing hornier. Having more fun. I’m gonna be so kind to my neighbors, bitch.

The first post is like the first pancake, right? Looking to do some micro blogging or try to recapture some of the spirit that has been stamped out of the blue hellsite.
