For no other reason it’s almost the end of July. I literally took the whole ‘Christmas in July’ context to heart. It’s JULY go find a damn forest glen somewhere with pine trees 🤷🏻‍♀️. This piece was originally printed in @ponderreview.bsky.social

Bluesky is finally back in Mississippi! No longer will we have to hitch up the mule and head over to Alabama to post. We did have to verify our age, though. Great for us, but not so great for the mule, who will probably get fat eating all those oats.

ChillSubs' analysis of social media at Lit Mag News made us feel better: they call a 10:1 follower/following ratio healthy. Ours is about 2:1.
