Hi Bluesky. I’m here as an experiment in going Meta sober. Please give me a social media experience satisfying enough to keep me away from the Zuckerverse but not so satisfying that it eats my life, lol.

The home you take with you Goodbye Beachwood, I'm entering my snail era

I’ve just moved out of my home to travel and write for six months (or more). Is this a #midlife gap year? underwire.substack.com/p/the-home-y...

True. But what happens if they just ignore all judgements against them, and pardon every lackey the court tries to hold responsible?

Four years alcohol free today! Think I’ll celebrate with a hot chocolate and a Ferrari bought with the money I’ve saved on wine. #sober

Alt folk edged out classical this year. I take this as a sign that I worked less and daydreamed more than last year - which is true! #spotifywrapped

Fear of books is fear of ideas. It's fear of democracy itself. Let's ban that!

I like #bluesky so far but its algorithm is making some rather hilarious assumptions about me in these early days. My feed is packed with birds and cats. How do I train it to know what I’m interested in?

My favorite fact about this process is that the caterpillar doesn’t just grow wings in there, it completely turns to goo before remaking itself as a butterfly!

This year I was served the juiciest turkey I’ve ever eaten. Apparently they brined it for FIVE DAYS, which I would have thought was illegal.

Thankful I did not go near an airport this week. Thankful to have a whole day alone to write. Thankful for the invitation to tag along to a Friendsgiving this eve at the home of a total stranger, where, presumably, I may make new friends! Happy Thanksgiving, whatever that looks like for you.

Holiday baking thoughts: the rebranding of margarine to β€œvegan butter” really is one of the most audacious and impressive marketing moves of our lifetime.

Do you think it was a stunt to serve his resignation rather than a serious nomination? He is absurdly unqualified.

A coping strategy [long read] Stability before mobility; time to burrow into the bubble

Hello Bluesky. Writer, editor, Wayfinder life coach, queer Gen-X Californian here. Looking for my tribe.

Here’s my argument for taking a little mental health time in your bubble right now.
