Going into town by yourself after a year of intense fathering.

Thank you man 🙏 Delighted you enjoyed it.

I whole heartedly endorse the idea of a kitchen-based starter pack!

Here's someone else I found in the kitchen @davidflemingwrites.bsky.social You feel there's a starter pack somewhere for those of us who began here in the kitchen?

He’s definitely a strong contender I’d say!

Only slightly obsessed with ensuring that my followers, who I’m following, and posts are all even numbers. Currently failing on all three.

My favourite trend on here so far is how people use ‘the other place’ the way theatre folk use ‘the Scottish play’, lest uttering its name hex the vibe.

I’ve found my calling!

Of course!

Rinse, repeat until city sacked by Visigoths!

Eat ice cream, munch crisps, defeat rivals, become Emperor, easy!

Does Bluesky have its own version of Tom from MySpace who just wants to be everyone’s friend?

If it keeps going like this we’re gonna need a bigger kitchen!

You know fatherhood has truly taken hold when you’re constantly reminding your family to close the door and stop letting the heat out while leaving it open yourself at every available opportunity.

They’re undoubtedly the Party that’s most hungry for change! 🥁

I’m sure there’s a starter pack full of them somewhere!

So Bluesky is the social media equivalent of the kitchen at parties?

This is brilliant, thanks so much!
