Fuuuuuck. You deserve so much better, my friend.

Thanks for the warm welcome back, Bsky. It’s so much more pleasant here without the daily episode of Idiocracy. 🙃

Here’s a Colorado supercell from August resulting from 3 (three!) storm mergers. 🌀 Got a tad surprised by the intensity & thusly was a little closer than usual…

Got super lucky that night!

Thankya!

My dude…that wasn’t a throat run. That’s not really my jam.

Jen Walton @jenwalton.bsky.social · 2d

It hasn’t reached its tipping point. Might never. I miss having a community on one platform.

Jen Walton @jenwalton.bsky.social · 2d

Why I said that about engagement. Some people have various goals for investing their time on platforms based on how the platform works.

My hope was that this platform would replace Nzi Twitter…it has not, sadly. Instead it’s just another platform & time suck rn.

You could ask, instead of using it as a reason to pass judgement. 😊

Thank you. I love the western slope. We spent a few days in GJ before shooting fall color. :)

I’ve found the engagement on here to be slow & thusly have focused elsewhere. Perhaps it’s true that you get what you put in, but it doesn’t deserve the last 5 minutes of my day. Cheers.

I’ve been in PR for about 22 years, which has included the strategic use of social media to build brands. Girls Who Chase was born on social & the brand built online. This is my 9th active platform as a result.

I occasionally enjoy sleeping/living vs doing this 24/7 so I operate strategically.

Ish, lol

Jen Walton @jenwalton.bsky.social · 2d

I can’t manage all of GWC plus my own stuff & keep adding feeds. I also added a DOW account this summer. That would make this my… 9th? platform to manage. If one sucks, it’s gonna get less love. This one has sucked. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Good to know there are experts out there on every platform who know all about everyone 💀

Thanks for the showcase!
