Working on my own website without Carrd or Wix is harder than I imagined

Lumine Starr @luminestarr.bsky.social · 24/01/2026

In the time that I've been away from here, I've written half of my debut novel, which I plan on wrapping up this year and attempting to trad-publish it with luck! Fingers crossed!

I'm so bad at posting that it's hard to believe I was a marketing intern at one point, planning another author's posts and branding. Why can I do it for others but not myself? 😭 #indieauthors #booksky #marketing

So many retellings of folklore that miss the mark is because their authors think the same way plagiarists act; they don't respect the source material, they think they are better than, they don't want to understand or believe that people of antiquity were as intelligent, with as rich interior lives

Normalize posting the messy sketches! Normalize sharing your least favorite pieces! Normalize creating art for vengeance by drawing your enemies in compromising positions with various farm equipment! Normalize group critiques!

Hi, are you doomscrolling? Posting here might not change the world, but you'll probably learn stuff and connect with new people in a positive way that doesn't exist on X any more. Try not to stay up too late tonight. You still deserve time to rest and recover.

Generally we think of alt-text as the domain of those with accessibility needs. However alt-text is useful for many reasons, which benefit your viewers, as well as you, the creator!

An infographic. There are six panels.

1. "Slow internet. Alt text is shown in place of unloaded images." a drawing shows a phone with poor signal, and alt text is visible where the image should have loaded.

2. "Findabillity. Alt text helps to search content." A drawing shows someone searching 'dog with banana' and a post is shown underneath without the words 'dog' or 'banana'. It is implied to be part of the alt text.

3. "Screen readers. Alt is read out to people using text-to-speech software". There is a drawing of the output a screen-reader would show when viewing an image with alt text on bluesky.

4. "Translation. Alt text can be translated". A drawing shows a post being translated. The alt text is also translated into german.

5. "Readability. Text in images can be made legible" There is a drawing of some truly awful handwriting inside a speech bubble. The alt text clarifies what the text is supposed to say.

6. "Disambiguation. Description helps clarify intent." There is a drawing of a post with a picture of a creature. This is styled after the famous optical illusion of a rabbit and a duck. The alt text clarifies that the animal is a rabbit. It definitely looks more like a duck.

Snug. ☺️ From April’s Kittens, written and illustrated by Clare Turlay Newberry. 1940. archive.org/details/apri...

Watercolor painting of a shorthaired black cat sleeping peacefully, tucked under a light orange blanket. Very simple yet expressive ink wash style painting.

If the world disappears and all that is left of human civilization, somehow, is this microblogging site, I would like the aliens reading this to know that a large number of us thought Cybertrucks were the dumbest shit ever

Is there a place you particularly love? A café, a bookstore, a park? Consider adopting it and finding ways to care for it and protect the people there. Join the friends of your local library, become a regular at the good noodle place down the street, get to know people’s names and stories.

Avoid scrolling during droughts of inspiration or moments of low motivation. Social media will drain your dopamine—and we need dopamine to feel motivated! Instead, try: - walking in nature - exercise or yoga - automatic drawing/writing - sitting in the sun

Be sure to do something nice for yourself this weekend instead of doom scrolling. Read a good book. Play board games with a loved one. Scream into a cave. Sort your doomsday seeds by season. Whisper the names of your enemies into the wicked ear of Crzthlach, the First God. Make a sourdough starter.
