Haven’t been over here in a minute.

Yeah they took some shots out there today. Wish they had more time to rest. We’ll see! 💚💚🦅🦅

Oooh my heart. GO BIRDS💚🦅

I think we’re at peak #GenX saturation: I just saw Roxette’s “Listen to Your Heart” used in a drug commercial.

I love when receive my orders from companies like @penboutiqueltd @gouletpens and @goldspotpens and they send a nice note and sometimes candy and even stickers. It’s such a lovely, personalized touch. It makes being a fountain pen enthusiast that much more fun. #fountainpens #supportsmallbusiness

Love this song.

He killed 16 Czechoslovakians! Guy was an interior decorator!

gets me every time. 🚐🦌❄️👞🔫

Telling some (not all) women to “relax” is not usually the way to get us to relax. I am one of those women. js 🤷‍♀️

Holidays started off great, but on Xmas Eve I started to feel the familiar tickle of what I thought was a cold. 5 days and a total loss of smell and taste later, #covid had finally gotten me. I’d never had it before. Fatigue like mono. Muscle aches went on for days. Grateful to finally be negative!

What’s in the air or water or whatever right now? Everything feels off. I post a question on social media and people keep responding long after it’s been answered. Friends don’t know simple stuff. My phone’s not working right. The weather is weird all over the place. What’s going on? #badvibes

Who’s watching s2 of #BadSisters ? I have feelings about Angelica.

I know this is an old performance. We need more bands and artists covering DKs and The Clash. The kids need to know.

This year a great one stepped down.
But we got another one.

Are we living in a #MontyPython sketch? If so, I would submit that we are an ex-nation. We are no more. We’re bleedin’ demised. We’re pining for the Fjords. 🦜

The RAGE when you get zukked for posting something innocuous and petty about a reality show, while all around you on his platforms, people and channels spread deadly misinformation and dehumanizing rhetoric, and his algorithm is like 🤷🏻‍♂️

Great point! We also have this guy. That “smile” is grounded in total chaos. Would you even call that a smile? 🤪

It’s been 8 months since I’ve been on #bluesky. I see there are gifs now. Ok that’s an improvement.
More than one #hashtag? ✅
What’s a Bluesky post called? A cloud? A burst? A blues?
If I post, can I edit what I said?
What else is new?

Same. Are we all leaving threads now?

I haven’t been in here for three months. Still no GIF functionality?

I am positively dazzled by the kelly green. It is gorgeous on TV. I know I need to keep priorities straight, but damn, we look good. #GoBirds #FlyEaglesFly  💚🦅 #MIAvsPHI

Eagles’ center Jason Kelce in uniform with mullet, tired walking off field.

It’s gameday again for #Philly and I don’t know how you rabid multi-sport fans do it. Between the #Phillies and the #Eagles, I’m exhausted! Anyway, Birdgang, hoping last week’s loss was an education and that we see you firing on all cylinders tonight. #GoBirds 💚🦅

Getting into game mode. #phillies #NLCS #dancingonmyown #thefightins

I find it outrageous that the @Eagles are 4-0, but for some reason, in Maine, I’m forced to watch the 3-1 #Chiefs game #PHIvsLAR.

Watching the #Beckham doc on #Netflix. England owes David a huge apology. WTF!??

Hanging around on the old blue bird makes me so sad now. It’s a cesspool. Why aren’t all the big media outlets converging here or somewhere? What is happening?
I’m also bummed because I have to re-curate a feed and it’s hard when only a fraction of those I follow are here or elsewhere. Ugh. 😞

Same. Wow. Got some purging to do, I suppose.

I’ve tried Mastodon and Hive and Threads and nothing has been able to fully compete with the platform I’ve been on since 2008. Please let this be the x-killller.
