I was literally just about to go "Why isn't this a thing?" and I thought hang on, I should google first... and there it is! Just below Achievements. You can save multiple notes then click on the title and it pops up.

Definitely no sharing today. I got several of these in a mixed batch, I may have to rehome some as they grow but that's what local Facebook is for. No names until I can tell them apart. #MysterySnail #Aquarium

I know the fake-Gaza spam on Bluesky is absurd, but it is funny seeing them replying to someone doing a whole thread about how much money he doesn't have.

It cracks me up how cheeky knock-off toys are. Here is a Totally Not Minecraft block building toy for your child. Complete with Portal to, uh, somewhere...
