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.)
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.
Oof, seeing a long list of actors who lost their homes:
Anthony Hopkins, John Goodman, Anna Faris and Cary Elwes, Adam Brody, Paris Hilton, Billy Crystal, James Woods, Maria Bamford, Ricki Lake.
Watching the speakers at Jimmy Carter's funeral. Quite a human. Understatement.
My MIL on the phone just explained that the LA mayor took money from the fire department to give to the homeless. I, fortunately, had already taken klonopin this morning, so I was able to hiss at my husband about it not being true rather than grabbing the phone and screaming at her.
Discord is awful. I used to use it often (so often), but it's really not designed for the things people are using it for in a vain effort to find a suitable replacement for FB. Also, I am on work Slack all the damn time, so Discord is not a relaxing way to spend my time. Plus, it's a fucking drama factory.
I didn't realize how close my brother and his partner are to the fires, and now I'm stressing.
Timelies all!
It's been a weird week at work. Monday and Tuesday we were officially closed, but I'm an essential worker so I went in both days. Monday I managed to get in 20-30 minutes later than normal in spite of having dug out my car and the fact of the crappy roads. There were only two of us the whole morning. We got sent home around 1:15. Tuesday I had a doctor's appointment at 10 (moved from 8) and got in around 10:30. Stayed the rest of the day.
Yesterday was a normal day and today we are closed.
