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.

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.

Yeah I’ve never been a Twitter person outside of occasional “what are people saying about this live sports game/helicopter/Oscar ceremony” type thing. So blue sky doesn’t really call to me. Such a bummer, though, about fb continuing the route to evil

Some amusing coaching from my manager today. After presenting to some of our seniorish leadership.

“Talk to them more like you talk to me. When you say things like “the [Business unit] vertical is pursuing a ton of crap” you’re so authentic. “

Good feedback! I opened a Bluesky account and friended a bunch of you and now I can't get back on. Which is a continuing theme this week - being locked out of accounts.

After 18 months I still can't get into our AT&T account, and I just went through the phone tree twice yesterday to try to resolve everything and it is still not resolved. And I have to fix it so I can set up International plans for Matilda and me while I'm traveling.

Also, my TV updated some software, booted me out of the Criterion channel and I can't get back in.

Whee!

The tree is down. Ornaments and stand back up in the attack. Round table back in front of the windows and the coffee table is also back down from the attic. Also Matilda and I cleaned the Guinea Pig cage, ran the cage liner flannels in the laundry, did a load of dishes and I vacuumed and swept up All The Needles.

Now my back is really sore. But I can't just crash because my CPA is stopping by on her way to choir practice to pick up a bunch of exhausting notices from the IRS.

Friday Matilda and I get our Covid and Flu shots in advance of travel.
