Feeding the Algorithm: 9/14 We can be honest that we really dig BlueSky but it isn’t proving fast enough for us to connect to, build, and engage our followings from other social, right? It’s faster, more familiar, and easier to reach people on the very platforms we all want to leave.

Feeding the Algorithm: 8/14 Three day hiatus. Cause life. Wonder how BlueSky positions posts for those who have been absent a few days… Also, what’s your comfort movie(s) you can quote line by line? Beauty & the Beast Devil Wears Prada 10 Things I Hate About You D.E.B.S.

Feeding the Algorithm: 7/14 “Super Bowl” has been federally trademarked (and enforced) since 1969. This is why you hear other outlets and companies refer to it as “The Big Game,” which is synonymous with Super Bowl in February in the USA.

Feeding the Algorithm: 5/14 Don’t mind me. Just listening to 90s/00s alternative and letting the emotions of yesteryear move through my body. ‘Cause it’s less stressful than the constant drip of doom today. Also reminding myself that you can’t fight for good if you can’t rest and do triage.

Let me be clear about something. The goverment does not give a shit that you write closed door romances. At the end of the day, the crackdown on Romance is not about sex. It's about control.

• The sound that escaped my body opening this — @virginiablack.bsky.social you make my soul exhale and my being smile. I cannot express how thankful I am for your worlds, words, energy. And I get to see @finnwritesstuff.bsky.social name staring back at me? Swoon. Thank you.

• Not on my bingo card for 2025: Craving glacially slow slow burns. Almost exclusively. I’m assuming my therapist would reflect back to me that I need to see things take time instead of living in reactive chaos. But yeah — give me your slowest burn recommendations.
