Do any of my moots want 2 tickets to see Ben Kweller in Boston on the 22nd? Lmk if you do bc I can’t go anymore, and I’d rather give them to someone I like than try to sell them or let them go to waste. 😘

Oh god I spent money on economic blackout day, and I had to use a credit card, but it’s so pretty?? And it’s for a small business?? And it would be sold out tomorrow?? Right??

Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

Good advice for a lot of us. 🦋❤️‍🩹

I feel like this one needs a rule similar to “I’m keeping the baby” 😂

If you’re thinking of giving up here and going back to the other app, consider this. Elon is using the app to expose the names of civil servants. He uses the app to push his agenda. The app fuels his coffers: activity = adv$. We can make this a good place and draw more ppl to us if we stick w it.

A LOT of artists are doing Black Friday sales this year. Like, way more than I've seen in years past. That tells me that SO many of us need people buying our art. Please please please buy from artists in the coming weeks and consider us throughout the year when purchasing gifts.

Yesterday was harder than I thought it would be given that a month has passed already, but it also meant a lot to me to see so many supportive messages and virtual hugs going around, and I loved the children’s cancer ward fundraiser in Liam’s memory. So many wonderful butterflies here 🦋🫂❤️‍🩹🦋

You can donate in Liam’s name to continue his legacy by helping to build a new Children’s Cancer Centre at Great Ormond Street Hospital.❤️ #LiamPayne www.gosh.org/donate/in-me...

I made a blocklist for some of the new showing up to troll anti trans folks. No oxygen for these schmoes! bsky.app/profile/did:...

If you want to find out what lists you've been added to, you can do so here: clearsky.app EG: I am on 31 lists, only two of which I chose(!) You can also see who you are blocking, who you are blocked by, and your history.

Also if you DO keep seeing a post that is upsetting/hateful, Bluesky has a gorgeous feature called “Hide Post For Me” down in the three dot menu at the bottom right of the post 👍

This place is filled with the joy of 15 million people who have just made the decision to finally cut off their toxic family members once and for all

This beautiful 🦋 app has been wonderful… let’s make it even better! Can we all double check and make sure we have these two setting toggled on so we are inclusive, helpful, and kind to our visually impaired besties. ❤️ Adding alt text takes < 30 seconds extra and is incredibly helpful.

Purely coincidentally, there is apparently a Bluesky downloader here: www.bskydownloader.com

Something newskies (and even some oldskies) might not know about: hide post for me. If a post has a gross photo or is annoying and keeps popping up in your skyline, click on the three dots underneath, select "hide post for me", and send it to the abyss. You never have to see it again. It's great.

One part of our upgraded infrastructure may affect your profile. If you see your handle now says “Invalid handle,” please reverify it by navigating to Settings > Change my handle > Type in your current handle > Verify DNS Record > Update. (Basically, update to the same handle.)

Morning, 🦋. I am so glad you’re here.

There's now an easy way to convert a starter pack into a list (which you can then pin and check like any feed) if you want to keep up with posts in a certain area but don't want everyone in your following feed!

Morning 🦋 Today’s vibe:

Alesso paid tribute to Liam at his show last night and played their song Midnight.

How it feels to be on here

Remember: Bluesky is not Xitter! The goal is to build something better One key thing to do is "block and don’t interact" Don’t quote post dumb posts Don’t reply to bad actors, trolls, reply guys, and extremists Just block them Life is too short to be wasted on idiocy and toxicity

Faith In The Future is two years old!!! 🥹 Can't believe it! What two years it has been! Thank you Louis for this beautiful album, for the tour that brought us together, for so many happy memories. #FITF will always be iconic #LouisTomlinson #HappyBirthdayFITF #twoyearsofFITF

So helpful to keep the sky blue!

For the newbies, one of the great features on here is that when someone has tried to quote-post dunk on you, hit the … and select “detach quote” and nobody will see the post or who wrote it and they will look like an asshole. (Blocking works like this too.)

rt if this deserves this

Hello, @stylsl28.bsky.social here I have created this fest to showcase the short story, which I find is under appreciated, and even dismissed, by many readers I have read shorties that made me 😆, 😭 and 🫦 I only have a small following so please help me spread the word!!

📢 App Version 1.93 is rolling out now (1/5) This release includes the thread composer, improved tooling for adding content warnings to your own posts, and other improvements and fixes. Open this thread for more details. 🧵

Morning, Flutterbys. 🦋 Being here with you all reminds me that there is still joy to be found, so thank you. Here’s some Maya Angelou to set the tone before I go out to face the horrors and the IRLs who don’t get it. youtu.be/qviM_GnJbOM?...

From Barbara Kingsolver:

This may be helpful for you new followers. You can block every single person on these lists. Just click on the subscribe button and it will give you the option to block every one on it. Here’s the first: bsky.app/profile/did:...

All we can do for now is hold onto each other. Soon we will be able to do more, but for now this is enough.
