I’m all for bringing attention to the ways we can educate and resist. But….. Spamming is not the way. It’s so annoying. Please report this one. 🚫

@mary1kathy.bsky.social With all due respect I have no time for this. I now have to deactivate my NAFO account to avoid this mess that I want no part of. Please remove my account from your starter pack.

Done. And there is more than one way to report you. Aren’t you violating your own party policies and rules concerning neutrality, Mr. Secretary/Rules Chair, Colorado Dems? Do I really need to contact the media too?

Was followed by two ex followers. Every day it’s been the same. I’m getting real tired of this crap. Y'all know I can trace it back to the source, to peeps in a mad rush to gain followers and so dismiss the importance of vetting.

There are questions that only invoke more questions. Not even sure Bob Marley got it right in Exodus.
“Many more will have to suffer/Many more will have to die/Don’t ask me why/Things are not the way they used to be.” You can see where Marley was coming from: In the few years leading up to the album’s recording in early 1977, Jamaica had experienced a tremendous swell in political violence, with gang and paramilitary groups affiliated with the country’s two main parties—the Jamaica Labour Party and the People’s National Party—killing each other in triple-digit numbers. Marley, who had already ascended to a kind of godlike neutrality, had stepped in to try and alleviate the mood with the Smile Jamaica Concert shortly before the country’s elections in December 1976, only to be shot during a home invasion two days before the show. He played anyway.
What you hear on Exodus, then, is the tension between the hope that everything will be all right and the creeping worry that it won’t. Marley recorded the album during a self-imposed exile in London, a distance that cast his optimism about Jamaica in a cautious light. And while his politics had never been of more public interest, the album’s most uplifting songs turned inward toward matters personal, romantic, and spiritual: “Three Little Birds,” the lovelorn “Waiting in Vain,” the legacy-defining “One Love.”
The overall feeling is one of victory through détente, of private peace as a foil for public rancor. As for the band, they remained borderline-peerless, not only in the province of reggae, but in funk, soul, and whatever Venn diagram you could make of the three. (No group of musicians has ever sounded so precise while being in so little of a hurry.) And while Marley’s populism rippled through punk, the members of the Wailers maintained their own simmering intensity—abstractly on “Natural Mystic” and “Jamming,” and directly on “Punky Reggae Party,” on which Marley finds his inner hardcore kid a few years before the term was invented: “Rejected by society/Treated with impunity/Protected by my dignity/I search for reality.…

The rules protecting Liz Cheney and colleagues from prosecution for their part in the incredible investigation of the jan6 insurrection are the same rules protecting those who used ruzZian propaganda and lies to fuel the despicable attempt to bring President Biden down. Truth vs lies & perjury. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Click on ALT and I’ll explain.
A starter pack is almost like a list that you can make, to see posts from those on the list. 

You can pin a list to your feeds. but you can’t do that with a starter pack. Unlike a list, starter packs have a ‘follow all’ button. It’s a feature I wish didn’t exist. 

Imagine 100 peeps a day following you who haven’t vetted anyone on the list. This is the follow all mentality that I strenuously avoided on X. I prefer to vet every follow as time allows. Being put on a starter pack has made me waste many hours of my day vetting accounts I would have never followed in the first place. 

(I have a slightly different approach when it comes to NAFO fellas)

Of course, you can decide to not hit that button, go through the list, vet those that interest you, and have a safer experience for it. 

There is a growing database of these starter packs, I’ll share the link in the replies. 

Let me share a little more about how I do social media. I don’t follow large accounts that will never follow back, unless they follow me first that is. If I want to follow their posts, I put them on a list, like the one I have for Ukraine news. This is like making your own algorithms. I spend an hour perusing my Ukraine list during the peak period of the day for Ukrainian news outlets and indie journalists. 

You can certainly make your own tailored lists. Create the list, then go through the starter pack of your interest,  click on the three dots (upper right corner of bio page) and add them to your list. 
I hope I’ve explained well enough. Let me know if you have more questions. 

I have more BlueSky tips on my blog if you want to check it out.

A warning ‼️ Seems a nice fellow right? He’s been on less than a day and is creating a starter pack including every acct he follows. I blocked him before he could add me. Please please PLEASE do not add me to any starter pack. I will block without regret. Lists are fine. I’m not a total asshole.

My numbers changed today. That discrepancy between followers & follows? It’s an illusion. I have blocked roughly 300 accts that tried to follow me, but blocking doesn’t remove the following. And so it shows these ‘ghost followers’. I very rarely follow someone who I know won’t ever follow back.

A word about immigration. I’m the grandson of Mexican immigrants, but that history is special in itself. >cont. in ALT<
I’m the grandson of Mexican immigrants, but that history is special in itself. I probably wouldn’t exist if my ggg-granddaddy hadn’t fallen in love with Mexico. So much in love that he chose to return after being deported and having his first marriage annulled by the Mexican government during the tumultuous times of the early/mid 1800’s. 
Hugh (Don Julio) Laing married again upon his return to Mexico to raise another family in calmer times. Two generations later, this branch of my family would migrate back to Texas to work hard in the fields of America and to regain the US citizenship that was, by definition, already theirs. 
Despite the fact that my ancestral line dates back to the colonial times of the 1600’s in America, my heart also belongs to Mexico. It is the culture of my parents and their forebears and even though I don’t speak the language, I was raised on all the wonderful things that they brought back with them to this country. The celebration of family, of food and drink, of their religious faith that held a family together in hard times. 

All of this, and the lessons I have learned about the history of America, both good and evil, have shaped my attitude and my opinions on immigration and America’s place on the world stage. 

We’re not perfect, here in America, but it’s still a beacon to the impoverished and the abandoned people of the world who still see it as an opportunity like no other they’ve ever seen in their own part of the world. 

And it is and always should be our best road to a better nation. 

I trust Vice President Harris will find a solution to the crisis at our southern borders that we can all agree on.

WORLD LEADERS AVOID BRICS FORUM The genocide dwarf has been left looking the pathetic loser we all know he is after world leaders have decided to avoid attending the opening of the BRICS Business Forum. Putler was the only world leader to speak at the forum & let’s face it, it's highly unlikely to have been the real bunker bellend anyway! Egypt, Ethiopia, South Africa & Iran all sent video messages from their leaders that were shown on screen to bored attendees. In a pathetically desperate attempt to save face. Putler finished off the event saying "Very soon, as you know, there will be a meeting with the leaders of all the countries participating in our association."
Yeah, good luck with that dick head!

CANDIAN AID 
Canada have announced $64.8 million in military aid for Ukraine. The package includes small arms & ammunition, personal protective equipment & military uniforms for women, drones, training tor Ukrainian soldiers, & contribution to the IT Capability Coalition.

HEROS HOME 
95 Ukrainian warrior heros returned to Ukraine today. Soldiers of the National Guard, Navy, Armed Forces, State Border Guard Service, & representatives of other Defense Forces units have finally made it back home.

CUNTROV'S BULLSHIT 
Sergey Cuntrov has said that Orcistan
insists that Ukraine stays out of NATO. He claims the West will use Ukraine "to create direct threats to the russian
Federation." Stupid prick, Ukraine only genocide in Ukraine! If they fuck off
then there will be no more threats!
