Can’t believe the world didn’t end yesterday, especially after I pushed all my meetings to today

I blinked and now I don't understand how to Internet

Are we all on Bluesky AND Threads now or can I just pick one, and if I need to be on both can I cross-post, or is a little bit of codeswitching expected
