I’m moving all my data off FB and shutting down my account. I think Bsky is goingbto be it for me.
Checking in on LAistas. And Snowy-istas.
World’s a shit show right now. Hold your peeps close.
Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

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've asked people to put "Buffista" in their profile so it's easy to find each other over there.
About a month ago I linked everyone I knew that had added that to their profile to Theodosia's post about the Buffista feed but it doesn't look like anyone else has been added to that feed since it was set up.
Looks like the Sunset Fire is dying down. Thank god the winds aren't nearly as bad today as yesterday and they were able to do water drops.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
We've been calm for hours so the Mojave Desert isn't sending so much warm and very dry wind to LA. I bet Joshua Tree and surroundings are packed with evacuators rushing into Air B&Bs though.
I could go outside and see what it's like to have real neighbors again.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
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.
Yes, this - I'm glad to see Bsky picking up steam as a Twitter replacement but it really doesn't fill the same niche as FB. The closest option for FB groups is probably Discord but only if everyone actually picks up and moves there.
(Tumblr is its own delightful little world and I don't want it to replace ANYTHING. I want it to continue marching on to the most unhinged of beats, forever.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm boopless.
It's a blue sky (on theme!) morning in San Francisco, so neither on fire nor snowpocalypse.
You should all come by.

Watching the speakers at Jimmy Carter's funeral. Quite a human. Understatement.
