Huge amount of #UFO #UAP activity being reported on social media right now. Might want to keep your 👀 on the sky. 🛸

“A group of orcas off the west coast of North America has brought back a bizarre fashion trend not seen since the late 1980s: wearing a single dead salmon on their heads as if it was a hat.” Playful behavior, communication? 🤷🏻‍♂️ #scicomm #seasonalfashion www.sciencealert.com/orcas-are-we... 🧪 🐳 🦑 🦊

Anybody else have Defying Gravity stuck in their head? #wicked #elphaba #wickedmovie #popular

They discovered caves on the moon. 🌕 (I wonder who has been living in them?) 👽 amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/07/...

Welcome to Bluesky, everybody

You all. I bought the most ridiculous lamp. 😂

As a kid I picked up a library book from my fave series back then. Once I was home and started to read a postcard fell out of the book. It was addressed to me. From my best friend. Who took the same book to her family’s vacation, used the postcard as a bookmark, and forgot to send it.

I keep coming across people on other platforms who say Bluesky is "too quiet" when they haven't actually been active here in months. I'm starting to post more about Bluesky on other platforms; many don't realize hashtags work now, custom feeds etc. Feel free to share: debbieohi.link/bluesky-tips

This is good--steps to take next.

It's Fall, which means it's Gilmore Girls rewatching season ☕🍂

I have a lot of trouble telling when something is AI-generated so this is really useful. Maybe it can help other authors too!

A list of the feeds I've made so far (🧵): QUERIES & SUBS For querying authors. Tracking: MSWL, Open to Queries/Submissions, Call for Submissions, Submissions Call, Close to Queries/Submissions ➡ https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:k3opcqfbnpsly7bz754tfnmq/feed/aaamba6u65zws

My guinea pig needs his nails cut, but he’s so wiggly and he hates it & only got one footie done

I created a feed aggregating posts from users w/ kidlit interests - I've added about 500 users and will be adding more. It's a easy way to find/follow kidlit people who are active on BlueSky. If you would like to be included, let me know. #kidlitart #kidlit Posts are in the feed for 7 days.

Hot girl summer is over. It's time for opossum autumn.

I *strongly* advise not having this app on your phone or uploading media to it that you haven’t stripped of metadata beforehand - someone with 10 years experience investigating commercial surveillance

OMG

A friend asked how I write multiple books a year and a) it’s my full-time job, b) my kids are teenagers, and c) my husband is a super supportive equal partner. But those things aside, I told her what I thought was pretty basic advice, but it’s really helping her, so sharing here:

The Bluesky #kidlit community is growing! Here's a list of authors, illustrators, educators, librarians, and publishing professionals to follow: https://shorturl.at/AKLST And here's how to add yourself to the list: https://forms.gle/78Cz3ETu4xo4qsNdA

Very helpful!

Just finished watching The Summer I Turned Pretty. Great choice at the end, Belly✨

Hello Sky People! I'm new to this platform and looking to connect with other #kidlit authors and the #WritingCommunity and other generally interesting people. Do hashtags even work on this site?
