This is so stinking cuuuute

Corinna Ren 🐸 🍄 @corinnaren.bsky.social · 7h

Nah it’s all good. It was a season and it’s easy to look back on and just see the good but I’m glad it’s behind me.

There’s snow in the hills around my house. It’s very late but for some reason gives me a feeling of peace… like, “welcome, you’ve finally made it” ❄️

I need to use more pink in my art 😆💖🌸

No, I deleted my account there a year or two ago… my concept of time is murky on it 😆

Why do you ask?

My first red flag was when they fired all those workers and replaced them with AI… investing in AI military weapons was the final straw.

Definitely a weird one but gosh my kids both love it 😆

Scary scary scary

Corinna Ren 🐸 🍄 @corinnaren.bsky.social · 1d

What’s been the chaotic part for you? I kinda disappeared for a hot minute 😆

I still think Bluesky has the most amazing potential and I’m determined to see it through. I’m going to keep working on carefully curating my own start packs and lists. Lessons are being learned along the way here.

Exactly, there are multiple possibilities. I just happened to face the spammy one 😆

Corinna Ren 🐸 🍄 @corinnaren.bsky.social · 1d

Oh yes, like anything, there is always nuance. There are appropriate ways to use tools. I was frustrated because I followed some starter packs and suddenly my entire feed was tag trains.

One day I’ll come by a booth! One day! Maybe when I finally move back to the west side of the state 🤩

My husband worked at a job he hated and that tore his body down for 10 years because him, myself and our kids needed health insurance. It is a cruel system.

Ok that is very very cool!

Corinna Ren 🐸 🍄 @corinnaren.bsky.social · 1d

Oh for sure. I was more being critical of the mindless follow for follow culture. People might not be around all the time but I like to genuinely connect with people as much as I can when I’m here…. Not see 20 posts full of tags.

Building community takes work! I feel like I’m slowly connecting ☺️

This is always a tragedy 😭

Corinna Ren 🐸 🍄 @corinnaren.bsky.social · 1d

It is veeeery difficult. I do think starter packs could be a good tool if the are curated carefully and built within communities… but I followed a few last night that were not built that way and I’m now dealing with the consequences (they were built for follow for follows).

Corinna Ren 🐸 🍄 @corinnaren.bsky.social · 1d

We have a very shaded yard but I managed to build a garden in the corner… hopefully they will grow there!! Good luck!

I wish I could help. I definitely also want to know the answer now 😆
