Startin’ Over

Monday, November 25, 2024

I’ve joined BlueSky, an app that echoes the original Twitter. I always enjoyed Twitter’s challenge of posting a cogent thought without using more than 28 words. When Twitter became X, I preferred to leave the site entirely. BlueSky has had a growth spurt of newbies who appreciate a liberal-trending social site. Count me in.

Unable to create a satisfying self-introduction, I took a noncontroversial path by posting a picture of Pimmy, my donkey; she’s always a winner. Over several days, I’ve explored the site, finding found accounts to follow. I am considering ways that I want to contribute.

I plan to make contributions in two streams. One will use my “BendGal” moniker, which reflects the importance of my home and animals, to share about home-based activities. The other will use an alternate moniker to share my thoughts and opinions about widespread social and political issues.

The future of BlueSky is a matter of wonder. One may hope the site remains uncorrupted by the uber-wealthy and controlling, who might infiltrate and drive their focused messages home to the masses.

Dear Friends: Following the elections, I’m still on re-start. Diana
