While I worked on drawing a Sketchfab poseable 3D head, Charlie took an unprecedented 1 1/2 hour slumber betwixt my knees, absolute unit that he is.

Not gonna lie I did kinda expect our Democratic politicians to have something like a plan to counter the 920-page detailed fascist blueprint that was published in April 2023

Difficult to imagine a way to help anyone cope with quite reasonable despair, don't you think?
Climate change threatens the mental well-being of youths. Here’s how to help them cope.
A 2022 poll of 1,500 U.S. teenagers found that 89 percent of them regularly think about the environment, “with the majority feeling more worried than hopeful.”

Oh goody! Fraudulent impersonators abound here too! This will be Twitter pt 2 ere long. JFC this Feelgood Fest didn't even last until the inauguration of our dipshit-relect. Any of my scattered assemblage of followers actually bots? Speak up please. I hate this shit.
Bots | Bluesky
Bots are accounts on the network that post automatically. Popular ones include bots that post the magnitude of recent earthquakes, photos from an archive on a regular schedule, etc.

With all gratitude to the inspiring muse!

Mystery Drones give us terror,
But school shootings hardly a shrug?
Abandon all reason,
For now is the season
Of Christians fellating a thug!

Wow. Amazing how Buddhist poets over 2000 years ago perfectly anticipated social media

Hoping pianist Eddie Palmieri enjoys a return to health and wellness after reading that he has had to take some time off. Also, there is far too little son montuno on #bluesky and that needs to change!

So is there a secret technique for getting anyone to engage here? Do you have to resort to saying something controversial or use hashtags or what?

So far I've received Ones of likes - I'm absolutely whelmed!
