Lovely to see so many of my friends joining this platform. The value of a social platform is the people who use it and the interactions they have. Some people are learning that lesson the hard way.

BREAKING: social media platform that has existed for less than two years has yet to replicate a culture as sprawling as one that has existed for almost two decades

Etymology of the day: to be ‘blowing a hoolie’ (or ‘hooley’) was probably inspired by the Orkney word ‘hoolan’, a howling gale, with a touch of the ‘hooley’ that is a very noisy party thrown in.

If you’re overwhelmed with despair and can afford it, give money to the causes you care about, and switch off the news. Your money will do more good than obsessing over every twist and turn of politics, and people whose job it is to monitor and respond will know how to spend it and thank you for it.

Starter packs really are an ingenious product, aren’t they? I’m convinced the shift to Bluesky wouldn’t be half as dramatic if it weren’t so easy to establish a network/newsfeed with just a couple of clicks.

We’ve put a lot of work into making Bluesky a healthier social network. This app is designed to give you a choice — in what you want to see, what you don’t want to see, and how you want to interact. Some tips on how to customize your experience:

6 weeks later and the pack is now 113 UK charities! It's a wonderful mix of micro charities and some very big ones.

As someone who works in comms, I tend to have a slightly different interest in watching the shift from Twitter to Bluesky than other people. One particularly interesting aspect is the focus on followers over engagement which some people seem to have. 1/

Word of the Day is a true favourite, as some of you will know. Apricity (17th century) is the warmth of the sun on a winter’s day.

I wasn't a band or theater kid, but I was a book kid and I think that still counts for something here.
