I think that people who like to use the word "creative" as a noun should do so as frequently as possible so we'll know precisely who they are and can easily avoid them.

Personal note:
Use caution when signing up for other people's block lists.
Their mood du jour becomes your bluesky feed.
Let your social media experience be what suits your needs, not what someone else decides for you.

I just want to take a moment to promote the #altgov accounts by sharing their starter pack. Follow them all

An advantage of having to go through all the apps for this is dumping a bunch I forgot I even had

Here's a repost of this for all the new people, if you didn't know about the Murderbot TV show yet. I can't answer any questions about it yet. Basically everything I can say is here on Deadline: deadline.com/tag/murderbot/

Going to be honest, I’ve got mixed feelings about people leaving it this late to transition away from Twitter. Don’t get me wrong, better late than never & all that,

Fun fact: If someone quotes a post of yours in a way that is unwelcome (as is commonplace on Twitter/X) there is a tool to combat the unwanted attention. Simply click the three dot menu on the quote post & click "Detach quote". This removes your post from their quote post. Useful to know, do share!

Finally caught my first "Well, if you're the author of the New York Times, you're everything that's wrong with this country" since I landed here at Bluesky, and I gotta say, it was incredibly thrilling right up until I hit "block."

Oh, honey.

We will look back on this as bluesky’s golden era, when we were all just being silly on a website

Come on, fam. "Credit to the artist" is not credit. It's still thoroughly self-serving. Please make the effort to link to the artist so if they take commissions, they can be found!

Digital painting of Castiel from Supernatural. His face is covered in blood. He's wearing his suit with the shirt being partly loose, and his hair is ruffled. Behind him are golden spiderwebs and a fading red and blue halo.

Drew some Castiel from 9x09!

I just saw a post on Tumblr asking if you're "allowed" to do something in a story you're writing. (In this case, a POV shift.)

I just want to sing to the tune of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, "THERE ARE NO RULES. THERE ARE NO RULES. There are no rules there are no rules there are no rules..."

This looks to be the better option atm for people getting away from the problematic substack. Going to try & persuade my clients to move here.

A little sketch inspired by the well known dean/cas hand touching ...post by @catherineinnb.bsky.social inspired me to do it! (much needed hand practice...) #destiel
