Never Bleu
@neverwrites.bsky.social
Creator of much wild nonsense: novels, art, children...
Writer, artist, mom, aging punk.
Actually autistic, queerer than queer, and inexplicably here.
I'm surrounded by other breathing individual people but I feel very alone but also like I'm suffocating. My ex won't just leave. Everything is screaming. Him. The kids. My skin. My brain. But eventually you get sick of telling people you aren't okay. You get sick of being sick. Yet. No end.

I don't have time for this version of me.

Though, I guess, with conservation of energy and mass and all that, who knows? Maybe I will get to be some lovely bit of marine flora someday.

Dinosaurs were like the birds' king era. Humans are like the apes' king era. After hearing orcas mimicking the English language the other night, I think sea mammals would make excellent candidates for the next center of the world. I wish I was around for that, rather than the human one.

I'm scared. And confused. Juan Matus said we are in this world but not of this world, yet that feels more philosophical than helpful right now. I want to believe we are leaning too hard into fear, but...

It's a bit of a chore, trying to remove someone from your household that both: 1) hates it here, 2) insists everything is fine, and 3) refuses to leave.

Ye gods. Social media is overwhelming. I forgot that, as a rampant wallower in the complexity, that even the fun stages were a bit anxiety-making for me.

Feeling like Matt Parkman. Sure, I hear what everyone's thinking, and I'm still gonna fuck it all up.

I don't explicitly state what I support because I mostly choose to live in a way that there could be little doubt. 1/3

I think perhaps the only thing that saves anyone is buoyancy, the ability to float when you could just as easily sink. I don't mean that as toxic positivity or bootstrap bullshit.

Lighthouses are cool, but guidance is worthless when you're drowning. A buoy, however...

My 6yo son is struggling with the fact that David Bowie and Michael Jackson died long before he was born, or really that they died at all.

I haven't broke the news to him about Queen yet.

It feels like a time capsule here. It is like I'm a young artist on DeviantArt again, boosting my friend's yaoi on FFN, blogging on Livejournal. Well, at least it feels like that kind of young still exists, and that is encouraging.

I am in the middle of a screen fast that means I will not be on social media until the new year, for the most part. But this is the only social media app I didn't (temporarily?) uninstall. Keep up the vibes, Bluesky.

Tomorrow I am pouring an enormous amount of emotional turmoil and anxiety and disappointment into messy angry hopeful artwork.

I'll keep y'all posted.

We're talking about liminal spaces in Literary Interpretation, and I thought about a liminal space within which I once lived that I'd largely forgotten. Arablish, the bizarre and kooky space where only English speakers learning Arabic (and vice versa) dwell. Any Arablish dwellers?

Lmk. I miss it.

Also, I am so sad I missed out on the adorable candy-colored phase of Mac PCs and MacBooks. I don't mean I wasn't around for them. I was actually in journalism school when they peaked. I was the exact age and lifestyle ("student") that they were targeting.

I was just poor 🤷.

Legally Blond is a repeat not-guilty pleasure for me. I know she's white, rich, and neurotypical. But she's kind. And that's what makes Elle Woods so enjoyable. She wins at things because she's determined and kind.

And rich, white, blonde, and neurotypical. It isn't perfect 🤷. But neither am I.

I'm trying to figure out the social media balance. As a writer and artist, I'd like to utilize the various platforms appropriately. But I am overwhelmed, trying to figure out what I should post where, whether to cross-post and when, etc. Is there some rule of thumb that I'm missing?

What do you use your Bluesky for? And am I the only one who says "Blooskee" rather than Blue Sky?
August 27, 2023 at 9:01 AM
Exciting news! I'm not a bot ^_~. What better social media platform for Nevie Bleu than Bluesky? Serendipidity.
