*related* reading a bit of a stinker at the moment . . . probably of DNF is HIGH

Do we think books should have a trigger warning for crap writing?

You have a Bodyguard it seems.

Congratulations Neil, this sounds fantastic

Barely have the energy to engage on anything political in my own country.

Just keeping my feed 'book-pure' as far as possible.

And movies. And music, TV and art. And culture and history. And tea. Pet pics too, obvs

Ok *sighs* so I think I've muted all the U.S. politics feeds that seemed to be automatically directed my way. (Muted because some are definitely from 'the good folks trying to fight the good fight' but it just exhausts me even reading about the Giant Orange's asshattery.) Sorry (and a bit not sorry)

Hi, you too Shellie. Hope you've been well since our paths last crossed! And thanks for the Starter pack recommendation (I love this idea!)

Hi Dave, great to see you here!

Hi Neil, good to see you too! Thanks for reconnecting. Love the Starter Packs idea--I'll check out the BFS one. Thanks for sharing 👍

Hi Diane, hope you and Pete are well 😀

SFFH folks: I’ve been away from the scene for a while (reasons). . .

so, who should I be following?

First day at BlueSky. Seems nice here.

Happy to chat but will probably just listen you guys for a while until I get the hang of it if that’s ok.

So, yeah. . . hi.
