Based on all the bots that have been following me lately, we need nothing but motivational speeches and pithy sayings.
I haven't seen a motivational speech yet that hasn't put my eye teeth to sleep.
I finally figured out what they need to work for me - a "jump to recipe" button.

I made a “how do you do, fellow kids?” joke to someone in their mid 20s who, it turns out, was too young to have heard of that meme.
So “how do you do, fellow kids?” is now an example of “how do you do, fellow kids?”

I have changed most of mine to "warn" until I get a good feel for what's being moderated.
With "warn" on, you'll still see the posts in your feed, but will need to click them to see the content.
Rude is an exception as I haven't agreed with Bluesky once on what they (and I) consider rude.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.
First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

Teen Vogue has had some of the most useful coverage of labor, politics and culture under Lex's guidance—and especially because of the audience it reached. This is a real loss, and a shameful act of whitewashing by Vogue.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Yay to alt text!
BlueSky's gifs come with alt text, which is great!
But the text is often so generic that I usually change it.
E.g. a gif of Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka smiling is labelled
"a man wearing a top hat and a bow tie smiles"
True, but....

Reposted with alt text, because it increases accessibility*, and more reading is always good.
*not just for people who use screen readers, but also for those with other visual processing challenges, and it helps us place or google when we don't know immediately who someone in a picture or gif is.
