Another one for the day:
Shadows loom, air grows cold,
With power gripped by hands so bold.
Divided voices stoke the flame,
A fragile peace is put to shame.
We stand as one, resist the blight,
Hold fast against the farthest right.
Through unity, we light the way,
And keep the wars of hate at bay.

It seems the MAGA trolls are showing up in force. The silver lining? Many are too clumsy to troll effectively and slip through unnoticed. Blocking them is effortless, and I encourage everyone to do the same. Let’s keep the space constructive.

The VPN is down; the grind must wait,
No files to send, no work of late.
I open Bluesky, soft and kind,
A haven free of the toxic grind.
No endless fights, no clout to chase,
Just quiet joy in a peaceful space.
Let the other app stay unnamed;
Here, calm remains.
No files to send, no work of late.

Free speech is a beautiful thing, but when a billionaire thinks his voice is more valuable than yours and steps on your opinion using their vast wealth it creates an inequality that we really need to address.

For the millions of newbies:
BlueSky does not have an algorithm.
Like means: "I like it."
Reskeet/repost/whatever: "I like it and I want others to see it."
Likes do not help visibility, only a reskeet does that, sharing to your followers, who can make their own choices.
You are the algorithm.

One of my favourite quotes, from Anne Lamott:
“Almost all good writing begins with terrible first efforts. You need to start somewhere”.

From shadows deep, where silence lay,
I stumbled through a world of gray.
But whispers soft, a flicker bright,
Guided me toward the warming light.
The darkness fades, a distant sound,
I rise again, where hope is found.

This year has been tough. At 35, my ADHD feels more chaotic and destructive than ever. Moving from toxic social media to Bluesky has been a breath of fresh air - cleaner, calmer, and less draining. It’s just one step on my long journey to manage my ADHD, but it feels like a meaningful start.
