Live in or love #FortWorth ? Here's my Bluesky Fort Worth Starter Pack. Not DFW. Not Texas (there are other lists for those). Just far-above-average Fort Worth peeps and orgs that I know (and, well, my dogs 🐾).
I'll will add more as I find them.

Me, to our 34 y/o friend: “Yeah, I’m pretty sure Speed Racer was my first crush.” [It actually was Speed’s mysterious, unbeknownst-to-him older brother, Racer X] “And if you don’t know who Speed Racer is, we can’t be friends.”

34 y/o friend: “Yes I saw the movie.”

He meant the 2008 remake. 😳💔🙄

Whether the City of Fort Worth has a 100 or 97 Human Rights Campaign Municipal Equality Index, America’s 10th Largest City remains a diverse and welcoming place that supports and protects all its employees and their families.

Fort Worth’s score on LGBTQ inclusiveness dips below 100 for first time in 8 years | Fort Worth Report

The city’s Municipal Equality Index score dropped three points — a change the Human Rights Campaign said was partially due to the city not passing a Pride proclamation in 2024.

Yes you had me at cupcakes but alas I’m just seeing it’s MY birthday (actual Feb 4) and we have a big group going to A-Trak over at It’ll Do Club that night (the 1st). Otherwise I’d be there!

@jdangle.bsky.social left me, Birgitta and Bowie @good-dog.bsky.social unsupervised in the car while he went in to shop, and the three of us pooled $6 between us….

Thank you for the artistry and escape, Mr. Lynch.

America lost another anti-human-rights, bigoted, profiteering religious zealot today.

Snow and ice in Texas tomorrow. Who is doing a welfare check on Ted Cruz’s poodle Snowflake?

Wonderful day in #DinosaurValleyStatePark #TPW #TexasParks

2024 brought us unexpected outcomes we wouldn’t have guessed at its onset, including us moving to a new home.

And we are so happy Santa brought us our kiddo Charles (now 29) for Christmas.

Wishing us all Peace and Prosperity, Hope and Happiness, in 2025.

Joel & J.D.,
Bowie, Birgitta & Charles
