A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm on bsky, but under my fannish identity. I don't want to have two accounts, so I'm happy to follow people as long as 1) you're prepared for my unhinged fannish content and 2) you don't connect the two identities. If you know who I am, feel free to friend me. If you don't know the name, you can email me at my profile address.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I’m in the area all of the wind terrorizing LA is coming from and we are still quite windy. Power has been off for an hour and I wished I’d charged devices but will be fine.

Keeping all of the weather hostilities across the country in mind and I hope everyone stays safe. If you need to evacuate for fire, please do it quickly and safely.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Same here.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I joined bsky, but don't use it.

I unfollowed all but a few critical groups on FB. The neighborhood page and the buy nothing group are both really hard to think of a replacement for so for now, I guess I’m a bit stuck. There’s a handful of individuals too that I’m holding on to but expect to go down to bare minimum for now.

I’m enjoying Bluesky and can be found there for now. I do like that you can curate different feeds for different purposes. I’m winnowing down the politics content so as not to lose my gourd.

I'm continuing on FB for the cat rescue groups and embroidery groups I follow, but I've moved over to BS for everything else.

I am on bsky, I but don't check regularly. I haven't been on FB but twice or so since the election, so I'd like to check bsky more often.

It took me a sec, but I remembered both fannish names.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I've mostly managed to forget fannish names. I'm 'euryale' on bsky.

The problem is that I find bsky more Classic Twitter than Fbook -- I want to be able to read longer posts, enjoy pictures, get part of groups and so on.

Also there's a bunch of family and long-time friends that are on Fbook that I really would lose touch with. sigh

This is definitely true.

I hear you. That's why I've checked in a couple of times on FB.
